Those things that are protruding out the running board are frame extensions, they strengthen the front and are parts of the frames/chassis. They are vital to an engine working properly and in James' case, rather strong, considering how many times he has derailed, or somehow damaged himself.

All that’s left is to make is the thoroughbred, old Iron, and a garden shed and you have the main cast. Phenomenal work, the splendid red mogul looks stellar. keep up the great work and I can’t wait to see what comes next.

Personally, James is my favorite steam engine character in the railway franchise. Looking at the wonderful production process, it's reproduced just like it was in the model series, so it's good to bring back memories of my childhood.
