TTTE #4: The Seventh Season Engines

Description

TOP: Spencer
MIDDLE: Murdoch
BOTTOM: Arthur

Two of these engines are based off of very famous steam locomotives. Two of them haven't (yet) returned to the CGI Series. All three were introduced in Season 7.

Murdoch really stood out to me as a kid because of his long shape and ten strong drive wheels. It’s a pity he and Arthur aren’t part of the CGI series like Spencer.

Credit goes to Cj-The-Creator's sprite list and Princess-Muffins's individual sprites.

UPDATE 10/2/19: I gave these big beasts a major overhaul. This time, I drew them from a realistic angle. It looks a little messy but I'm much happier with them now. This drawing was a real challenge for me. Some of the wheels have an odd number of spokes (something I have never attempted before).

    For Spencer – I gave him the Mallard treatment. I drew his proper smokebox. All his rods and wheels are reminiscent of LNER locomotives. Speaking of which, I chose not to write the initials on his tender and just left his black lining. I also didn't write his basis' number.

    For Murdoch – I drew more rods than before. I rectified the wheels by adding the flanges to the outer wheels and leaving the central drive wheel flangeless. I stretched out his smoke deflectors like his basis. Fixed the boiler so it slants. Under his nameplate, I added the special plaque that is featured on the Evening Star.

    For Arthur – It was so hard to find pictures of his basis. I fixed his sand dome. Redrew his proper coal bunker, his wheel and rod arrangement. I moved his number from his bunker to his tanks. If you look carefully, you'll see the front of his water tanks bent ever so slightly.
