Description
So this version of The Red Engine is based off of William Middleton's illustration of him, specifically when he was trying to push Henry out of the tunnel. I went with this design since i don't wanna use the red engine that looks like James in the re-releases of the first book, who the Reverend turned into a totally different engine altogether. Besides, this version of the red engine does fit into the idea of all the engines in the shed were bigger than Edward & "Not James" would've been the same size as Edward. Also i wanna keep the engine count to a minimum so i'm only using one red engine & in my headcanon, the red engine would've left along with those two nasty blue engine since we never see them again. Also, i'm still calling him Johnathan, going off of my old deviations.

So anyway, the red engine was made from a Push Along Gordon on top of a Take Along Henry running board & chassis, Emily's Take Along tender & a repainted BCE Face to make him look less snobby.

Edit: This custom has been remade using 3D prints.
