Sticker face is a good idea - it's the hardest part!
Is the big red external cylinder casing at the front, part of the red
baseplate? A good reason not to use that baseplate, I think (it can be done
without) since Thomas has inside (i.e. inside the frames) cylinders and
valve gear so you can't see them. At the train show last weekend there was a
HO Thomas which had complete external cylinders and working valve gear -
looked very odd!
