EnglishBob - thanks for that, I've seen the Chuggington trains (another kids series) before, though they didn't have the round Awdry style faces I remember from the books. So I wondered if that 'face on front' concept was in someway registered, possibly as a design mark. Not seen in on other trains either. Last time saw a special one was by chance the 'Santa Express' in Manchester. Apparently a regular scheduled service which the crew just decorate with balloons and stuff. Got on it without realising, and if everyday travel was that fun and friendly I wouldn't mind commuting :) BTW - if you're into trains, local news was saying the BlueBell railway will be connected to mainline services from mid March. Lovely place to visit but unless you drive it's tricky to get to. Now it's reachable for everyone. Re - the community and freebies. I don't mind because I use these myself so it's only right to return that generosity.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
