Here's my favorite engine on Sodor - Montague, otherwise known as Duck, the Great Western engine!

The 57xx pannier tank engine - named for its water tanks mounted on the sides of the boiler, like pannier luggage - has become one of my favorite non-US steam locomotives. That distinct shape gives it a very proud and professional look. Rev. Awdry must have felt that way as well, given Duck's pride in being a hard-working engine.

As for these models, you can see that I made smaller ones. Like I said on the Thomas prints, one of my main inspirations were the ERTL toys, but I wanted moving drive rods - well, as neat as the smaller ones are, I think I much prefer the larger prints. Not only do the wheels and drive rods move more freely, but they print better and are easier to paint (El Raymondo has fat fingies).
