It's not. The most "accurate" would be from the first book. Thomas is based
on a LBSC E2 tank, but the artist who orginally did the paintings was NOT a
railway artist. Therefore, as long as it has 6 wheels, and is blue, it is
reasonable.
As regards Mikes Thomas, I think it is too tall in the cab. It looks more like
a Emmett engine than Thomas-that or perhaps a W. Heath Robinson engine. (I was
looking at "Railway Ribaldry" a few days ago...)

| Nice work, Mike- I too watched Twister tonite but did no work:-( I see you have decided to use the 4.5 volt red plate with buffers on which to base your Thomas. I did the same on mine, and I think it's a mixed blessing. It ends up compressing him (...) (24 years ago, 19-Nov-00, to lugnet.trains)
