File:TOMY Thomas Arthur the tank engine close up look and first run

Hi all received this Arthur from HK, I bought it on ebay along with the loco from my next video Neville, this Arthur is new but not in a box but I don't rally mind as I'm not really a box collector I like playing with the trains more :p

He is supposed to be quite a large tank engine as in the tv show and in real life a 2-6-2 tank engine would absolutely make an engine like thomas seem small, but with these toys it is not the case but oh well. He is a decent enough size while still looking fairly large he has no problems going under track supports etc. He runs at a decent speed and is fairly quiet. I painted the handrails silver with a sharpie silver marker, its subtle but classy (I feel anyway).

So in conclusion I am very happy and have wanted this one for quite a while.

Thanks for watching
