When I created this presentation, I emailed Huw Millington about the creator of

I received no valid answer, so I went with the info I had.
If you are offended by this, I will remove both the image and the caption from
this presentation and resubmit it to the ILTCO.

PS If you look at all the versions of Thomas in the presentation, you will see
that most have four wheels.
