I’d rather talk about why you have such
a Thomas fixation that you keep building variants on him.

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).
