So, Millington is in on the conspiracy too?  It's become something of a twisted
joke amongst the NBLTC to continually refer to this engine as 'Thomas',

I would take that up with the disreputable gang of ruffians that comprise the
NBLTC. From what I hear they're quite prone to taking the mick out of a stalwart
and talented fellow such as yourself at every opportunity. Especially Huw, and
Tony.

despite
me making four more accurate rebuilds of it since that picture was taken.

I'm not surprised there wasn't much of a reply if you posted your message on
Christmas Eve though.

I don't really mind if you leave it in as it is, but it was never intended to be
Thomas so I'm happy not be credited with it as such.  I would point out to
people here that it isn't meant to be 'Thomas', so it's up to you if you want to
change anything.

Actually, although Larry is quite correct in his statement that there have been
heard remarks of a jovial nature towards the offending engine, we didn't start
the fire!

It is entirely the general public's fault, who continually turn up and identify
Jason's little blue engine. There must be loads of experts out there all coming
to the same conclusion so we just accepted their opinion!

Tony, Huw and I all ran our own blue engines on the same layouts in fromt of the
same crowds. Nobody called them 'Thomas' though!

Despite Jason's dispute, I think the majority rules here - LET THE TRUTH BE
TOLD!
