    There is a historical precedent for sticking adverts on the sides of locomotives. The Millwall Extension Railway used to do it on the tanks of their locomotives. I have a feeling the Great Northern Railway also considered the idea.

    I must say this looks great, even with not too much work done to the model. This actually helped me in realising it wouldn't be too hard to actually make a model look beaten-up (a bit), and if I ever use money to buy a new Thomas (after all, my birthday's coming up!), I'd probably do this (though maybe replace the face with a smokebox door from something like a Bachmann Junior loco, to make a more "realistic" engine).
    Nice tutorial, as always! :)

    I'd probably add a little more weathering to the footplate just outside the doors.
    Whenever I fire, I always manage to get a little bit of coal dust on the footplate, and that always tracks on my shoes to the most commonly walked areas. I feel like I'm always having to sweep coal dust off of the footplate, and a little bit tends to follow me wherever I stand most. Of course, you don't see much of the footplate on these models, but dust does tend to spill out the doorways and get around.

    I've got a question about weathering: If you're using more than one weathering powder on the same model, example coal and rust, do you add them one at a time then clear coat or apply the first set of weathering powder first then clear coat and then add the second weathering powder and clear coat?

    I think the faces would be better with eyeholes. They look slightly bug-eyed with the merged eyeballs (a problem shared with Hornby's faceplates. Hornby does not have Learning Curve or ERTL's talent for sculpting the eyes to have depth).
    If you're up for more advanced work, I would cut and drill open the cab windows.

      Normally once the lining comes up it’s hard to fix the original stuff. :( The same thing happened to me on an older model and I’ve attempted some dry transfers but it may be easier to remove the lining and readd it yourself with other forms of such. I’m sorry my man it’s the worst when that happens.
