Bertie the bus - real world Thomas and Friends inspired MOC

Recommended Posts

Here is one of Thomas the Tank Engine's best friends, Bertie the bus, as seen in The Railway Series books and the original Thomas and Friends TV show. You can see LEGO Thomas and his fellow engines and some rolling stock over in my thread in the Train Tech sub-forum. Thomas and Bertie once had a a race, and they both want a rematch, but I don't think they ever will... do you?

This model's front end was inspired by 2019 Harry Potter set 75957 (The Knight Bus) and the rear portion by the bus in the 2017 set 10259. (Winter Village Station)

The side door opens, and Bertie seats one driver and two passengers (three figures overall).

The rear of the friendly bus. You can see the read about the original book version of him here and the TV show here, both on the Thomas and Friends wiki.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Whoa! That looks exactly like Bertie too. 

Thanks! I had been trying various ways of making him for years with no success. Glad to know it worked out in the end!
