Sir, I wish to take issue with the caption of two images in Russell Clark's
otherwise excellent presentation, "Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends".
On page 23 (of 27), a compound image is captioned "Thomas by unknown
modeler[sic] (UK)". The model clearly shows an OF class 0-4-0 saddle tank
engine in the livery of the Caledonian railway, and not an 0-6-0 (side) tank
engine in the style of the Rev. W. Awdrey's aforementioned original creation.
I am sure the modeller (whoever he may be) is clearly aware that 'Thomas' has
six wheels, not four, and would be highly offended, possibly liable to fits of
mental dissociation and extreme acts of violence to hear his %$~!@*# Caledonian
0-4-0 referred to as %$~!@*# 'Thomas' by one more %$~!@*# parent at a %$~!@*#
$%*@#~! train show for %$~!'s sake, don't they know %$~!@*# anything?
Did Reynolds put you up to this? I'll have that $%*@#~!, I tell you. Just you
wait and see that I %$~!@*# don't.
Yours faithfully,
Jason J. Railton, B.Eng
