CTB-3105 Blue Tank Engine

The CTB-3105 Blue Tank Engine is a small steam engine modeled after a famous engine from a series of children's books. Larry Pieniazek once said: Every LEGO® Train Club ought to have a Thomas. I agree with Larry's sentiments and CTB-3105 is my version of Thomas. Thomas has proven to be very popular at NCLTC train shows over the years and easily recognized by both adults and children.

This model uses a number of pieces which may be hard to find, notably the red train chassis plate and yellow 1x1 and 1x2 (two each) classic windows. While these elements may not be readily available, you may be able to find them on BrickLink . The yellow 1x1 windows appeared in 16 sets, the yellow 1x2 window in five sets, and the red 6x16 wagon plate in three sets.
