A nifty fact about the original Railway Series books is that nearly every engine or piece of rolling stock is based on an actual real life vehicle. So here is my video showing every character in the Railway Series alongside their real-life counterpart!
The previous video showcasing the real life versions of the characters from the television series was well received, so I thought it only made sense to make a follow-up about the Railway Series. There's a lot of characters with terrible names composed entirely of numbers in the books! What was Awdry thinking!
Characters in this video were created by either Wilbert or Christopher Awdry. This includes ones who were never in any stories, like the Mid Sodor engines and the Blister twins. Not every character in the books has a real life prototype, so there are some omissions. My apologies to the 98462 enthusiasts out there. The characters are ordered roughly based on their first appearances in the books, until the end where I got a bit lazy and threw in all the characters I'd forgotten about.

The renders of the Wellsworth and Suddery Railway locomotives were supplied by the folks over at Legend of the Hills Studios. Give them a wave if you see them in the street.
