So, Millington is in on the conspiracy too? It's become something of a twisted
joke amongst the NBLTC to continually refer to this engine as 'Thomas', despite
me making four more accurate rebuilds of it since that picture was taken.
I'm not surprised there wasn't much of a reply if you posted your message on
Christmas Eve though.
I don't really mind if you leave it in as it is, but it was never intended to be
Thomas so I'm happy not be credited with it as such. I would point out to
people here that it isn't meant to be 'Thomas', so it's up to you if you want to
change anything.

Yes, I had done, hence the comment. It was probably too subtle so I'll make it
clearer. Thomas has six wheels. An 0-6-0 Tank Engine. Has anyone made one at
all with the correct number of wheels?
