Another custom I'm proud of. As any real thomas would know, Eagle is James Brother and his coming to be is actually interesting.

In the RWS version of "Come out Henry", another engine, not thomas, is asked to help push henry out. The engine was originally illustrated to be James. However, children wrote to the Reverend asking why James was red before he got repainted in the third book. With all the confusion, Awdry decided that it was not James, but was instead a different character altogether, and thus, eagle was created. This is also the reason Thomas replaces him in the scene in the TV version (well, before "The Adventure begins" came out, T-T thanks HIT)

In-order for an acurrate like appearence, the wall between the wheel arches was cut away, giving him a see-through boiler, but that meant there was no room for the motor, so I removed it and made him Tender driven via a gandy dancer. So far it works, but I am looking into something a bit stronger and powerful.

Enjoy!
