I noticed an E2 tank engine in the siding near the engine shed, named Clive. The volunteers ought to repaint him blue with red stripes, complete with the yellow no. 1 on his sidetanks. They could give him a face and rename him Thomas the Tank Engine. Bet you'd love a Day Out With Thomas on this wonderful miniature gauge railway.

That's what Clive used to be😂 They stopped doing the DOWT events, so to make use of the loco, they turned it into two separate one, Clive and Florence being the results. I have attended a DOWT at ELR before they went

The revrend W Awdry never wanted Thomas to be an E2
