Quote - I'm unsure if this concept [firebox face] is copyrighted or not

Britt Allcroft are very keen to defend the Thomas trademarks, some have said over-keen. I assume the firebox face is part of that, so you'd be right to avoid it. They tried telling the Nene Valley Railway that they couldn't call their blue tank engine Thomas, but since the engine had been named by the Rev. Awdry himself that had to stay. However I think they had to stop putting the face on the front - I haven't seen him wearing it for some time.

Anyway, thanks for the super freebie. Please don't feel that you're in any way obligated to provide stuff to the haphazard collection of knaves and rogues that we call the Poser community - although of course we're grateful when you do. :)
