5. James—Caledonian Railway 903 Class
Like I said, this is meant to be for fun. I love the idea of a Scottish James. Plus, at this size, he’s more of a Big Engine.
Is that counterintuitive to his character? Yes. Do I care? No, this is for fun.

4. Gordon—Only Basic Changes
Gordon’s basis for his history is perfect as is. Just let him keep his 8-wheel tender and stock frames. Do with the third cylinder and valve gear what you must.

3. Post-Rebuild Henry—Black 5 PACIFIC
IDK how else to say it but I really wish Henry had been rebuilt into a 4-6-2 while still being basically a Black 5. Help him stay unique. I don’t see why Stanier wouldn’t agree to whip one up for Topham.

1. Thomas—GCR Class 7
It’s short and stumpy, has 6 wheels and inside cylinders, and is a lot like Awdry’s initial model without having to be a J50. We’ll say the lads at Crovan’s Gate made some cuts in his tanks to get at his valve gear and gave him a bigger bunker.
