Has anyone done Thomas, Stepney or other Awdry engines with BBB wheels and
moving rods yet?
BTW, these are also Awdry characters:
Toby the Tram, who has a book to himself:

BoCo (class 28), featured in Main Line Engines:

and Bear (Hymek, class 35), rescued by Henry in Enterprising Engines:

This pic shows Duck the Great Western engine (to the right of the Hogwarts
engine) and Toad the brakevan (hiding behind the signal next to Duck)

Sadly, these might be a bit small for the presentation. However, my Hogwarts
coach is an 8mm scale coach, built from pictures of the real thing. I'd like to
get hold of enough burnt orange pieces to do Annie and Clarabel, but not even 11
Yodas is enough.
Here's another pic of Thomas and the Hogwarts engine:

In total I have 7 Awdry characters, and more are in production - Diesel (class
08) and Wilbert (J94). The kids love them at exhibitions, and Thomas gets
plenty of exercise (though he's been a bit lazy recently as his rods were
sticking a bit).
Is the presentation one of famous engines in books and films?
