Several maps show the main line terminating at the junction, though some books mention that the terminus is Tidmouth. Nevertheless, those ramblers who are bold and dedicated enough to scramble up the steep path beside the Falls of Tid will be rewarded in the valley beyond, which is a place of awesome splendour. I don't know if we've had to make an arrangement with Hit, but I don't believe so, and it's not caused any problems.

The prototype model had a black footplate similar to Duck's CGI model and the top of his safety valve was also painted black, but they were changed to grey and green respectively on the production model.poliss wrote:There was a discussion in 2009 about someone who exhibited their Thomas layout at an exhibition. The HO scale oil, cream and raspberry syrup tankers and the mail coach were all initially released as they appeared in the model series but were reissued with their CGI series insignia in 2011. Thomas Land is aimed at children, and contains a large number of attractions suitable for young families.

Spencer's footplate flattens out at the cab, unlike his television series model which keeps going at a slope. Fed up with Thomas' foolishness, Gordon decides to teach Thomas a lesson instead of falling back to sleep. The lamp irons and coupling hooks on all the engines are thicker to comply with UK safety standards (the minimum age was lowered from 8+ to 3+).Topham Hatt's direction, cutting a railway tunnel through the ridge south of Tidmouth and laying a railway directly from Tidmouth to Knapford.

This issue was fixed on the large scale model, as both Paxton and Diesel were designed at the same time. Thomas usually pushes from behind the big trains to help them get a good start but is always uncoupled first because he can stop and go back when the train is running nicely. When Thomas wakes Gordon up the second time, the buffers in the siding in front of Gordon are not connected to the track, Thomas and a brake van move a little and his smoke also vanishes due to a jump cut. When the N scale Thomas and Percy models were first revealed, their faces had been switched around and had swapped eyebrows. Nearly all of the locomotives have a special moving-eye-mechanism that allows the eyes to look back and forth across the tracks while the locomotives are in motion.Thus most of the language on the map is in Welsh, including the translations, unless otherwise specified. The dome, whistle and lining were also painted in a brass colour as opposed to the gold colour of the original model.
