For Russell - once moderated, my new pictures of Thomas and Friends are in my
Brickshelf gallery:
There’s Thomas himself, with Annie and Clarabel (okay, the two-axle TV versions
of Annie and Clarabel) and Percy.
For look-alike real engines, there’s a Great Western 0-6-0T Pannier Tank - the
model for Duck; and an LMS 0-6-0 Class 4F ‘Fowler’ - the model for James, though
in dark rather than bright red. The Bluebell Railway A1X Class (or ‘Stroudley
Terrier’) No. 55 really is called ‘Stepney’.
I’ve added a picture of the wheelbase shared by Thomas and Stepney, and exploded
views of the faces on Thomas and Percy. Note that both faces have half-plate
protusions on the rear that are buried in the front of the boiler for neatness.
This is harder with the smaller, more elaborate face on Percy.

Hey - Cute models.
I’m really impressed with the water effects under the bridge. I’ve seen those
1x2 dark-blue tiles at Legoland pick-a-brick, but never thought them of being
any use. Instead, I’ve been using clear 1x1,1x2 plates (also from LLC) on top
of blue plates. Your choice of the dark-blue tiles (especially in combination
with different plate colors under them) really gives the feeling of flowing
water and depth!
Great job!
