Thomas episodes affecting me!

So question? Does Salty look like the Diesel he is based off of? I am used to Japanese diesels so I find it strange to see tie rods on a diesels wheels are they supposed to be there?

I always thought salty was a class 14 diesel but I was wrong he's supposed to be a class 07 shunter



So not a bad likeness, it would be better if his cab was taller, but a lot of these models lack the height they should have,
