Description
The Early Years of James:Sir Topham Hatt travelled down to Liverpool to buy a mixed-traffic engine for his railway. When he got to the sales yard, he was in for a disappointment. He was late and every engine had been bought except for one.
"Ooh pick me Sir!" said a lonely 0-6-0 engine.
"No, I'm not looking for a goods engine. Without a pony truck, you can't go fast and pull passenger trains. But tell me about yourself."
"Well I was built as a Class 27 and I worked hard so they gave me a bigger firebox making me a Class 28."
"Would you be willing to get a pony truckΒ making you a Class 29 2-6-0 so you can go faster and work hard for me?"
"Oh I will Sir. I won't let you down."
"Thats a good engine. I'll call you James."

Yeah. It always intrigues me how Sir Topham gets his engines. We missed Engines 1-5, we actually see Percy being bought and STH meeting Toby but then all the new engines just βappearβ on Sodor.
I just like to imagine how the meeting of those famous engines and STH when (according to the RWS companion books)

He certainly looks off, but that's the CGI proportions for ya.

The smokebox is the same length as CGI Jamesβ (but I know CGI James is too long compared to model James.)

It would be incredible to that scene on a DVD!

The smokebox makes James' shape a bit jarring though.

Oh yeah? It's the smoke-box that frightens me.

And of course, the wooden brake blocks and his crash, changed him completely.

Okay.... that's the one other glaring flaw in TAB besides Henry in his new shape rather than his old shape: James having a Fowler Tender prior to his accident even though he would get one after his accident. Why not give him the tender he had originally? :/
Know what I mean on that, ? :/

They could have modified Donald/Douglas' tender for TAB James but just seeing James in the Black livery was quite satisfying.

It's so strange seeing James look like Donald or Douglas.Β

Both their basis' are very similar in design.
