My daughter *was* "James the Red Engine" for several years. She wore red
clothes all the time, and when she hurt her foot one day, declared that
she had "hurt my little wheel". I was Henry the green engine, Nana (my
mother) was Edward the Blue engine, etc. (None of this came from the TV
series or the toys, mind, this was before them - this all came from the
original little books). Her favorites when she got older, though, were
Skarloey and Peter Sam. We visited the Talyllyn Railway in Wales
especially for her to see the originals when we were back in the UK in
1991, when she was 7. The stationmaster at the top station let her
change the points - somewhere I have a photo of her pulling the lever.
