Danielle had a few large orders to sort out this week and asked me to help making the trains and Fat Controller.
It was a busy day but we got everything just about finished in time......................
But was a little rushed in the last hour.

As I had never made Thomas and friends before I made earlier in the week a couple of prototypes.

Picture 9 was a variation of the Train I made a while back and seeing if we could make that design into a quick'ish Thomas The Tank design.
I don't think it worked, this is the original train, https://www.balloonchat.co.uk/balloon-chit-chat/train-11786/

Perhaps I just need to change the proportions on the cab? I might re-visit this when I get time.
 

Then it was over to Danielle's to make the designs and some of the other trains in the series.
We chunked up the Fat Controller a little.

More of the designs. The Red over the centre of Thomas was a little bold but un-inflated balloons
were to short to fit around the engine section so we had to go with inflated 160's.

More of the finished design.
