As I said, if I’d meant the blasted thing to look like
Thomas it
would jolly well look like
Thomas
the
flaming
Tank
Engine.
And it would have the right number of wheels.
The likes of Mr Reynolds can now amuse themselves with a quick game of
spot the difference.
Thank you.

I think they’re both lovely, and every kid that sees either of them will say
“Thomas!”... *grin*

Something about ILTCO recognising countries outside the United States,
wasn’t it?

hmmm,last time I looked Canada wasn’t part of the United States. If that’s good

Tell me about it. I just noticed that I’ve put the nose-piece back on half a
stud too high, and forgot to remove the maersk-blue jumper from the top before
taking the photo (I don’t think you can get them in light-blue yet).

No, actually it was something about why NBLTC never signed up when the invites
went out, if you must drag the topic in that direction... NBLTC certainly
qualify under most all the metrics I checked.
But let’s not go there. Too serious. I’d rather talk about why you have such a
Thomas fixation that you keep building variants on him.

I don’t know anything about that. I don’t know how I ended up in the ‘North
British’ anything - I live on the south coast. There’s sea water at the end of
my street. I meant your insistence on referring to pre-1960s British trains as
‘European’. This was from a jolly time when no-one used the word. When you had
to show your passport to get into Scotland, and carry a leek to get into Wales.
Damn colonials.

Well I was just trying to be “witty” but the truth is there is no issue with
ILTCO recognising clubs in countries outside of the U.S., any train club is
welcome to apply for membership no matter what country they are in.

What’s particularly galling is that the original blue engine has undergone about
10 seperate rebuilds for accuracy, shiny bits, glowing boiler etc. (notice the
half-stud leaf springs on the side, too).
The light blue one is my first, rushed attempt at an actual Thomas look-alike.
It’s built on the same wheelbase as my A1X Terrier (which, incidentally, has
also been pointed at by a parent and called ‘Thomas’, despite being built
entirely in tan and black with a red base. So has my Great Western pannier tank
for that matter. Called ‘Thomas’, that is. Not built in tan. That would be
silly. It’s green).

Exactly, they’re all part of the Americas, so what’s your point? Next you’ll be
boasting about a Mexican team being allowed in. Big deal. ;-)

Haven't seen them! Maersk Blue (well, not any more, and never in a
set), Sand Blue (Count Dooku's speeder bike) and ordinary blue, but not
medium blue yet...

Ah! There's a thought. I might swap it for a sand blue one, so at least it's
all legit. The round brick can sit between four studs, but because it's placed
between the slopes it doesn't grip so well on its own.
Thanks.
