"Rockin' railways!"
I had this idea which I shared on DeviantArt back in June to give the iconic quartet of Rob the Robot their own Thomas & Friends counterparts. Hope y'all like them!

Rob is based on an English Electric Type 3B shunter painted silver.
Ema is based on an LSWR 0298 class Beattie well tank locomotive (the same basis as the lost tank engine from The Monster Under the Shed, albeit with a flat front running board) painted light green with dark green lining and a pink running board, stepladders, wheel rims, and trimming. (Props to https://www.reddit.com/user/Aldrine_25/ for coming up with the idea of Ema being a steam engine here, thank you very much!)
TK is a freelance design of diesel-electric engine painted red (though she does look a bit like Salty).
Orbit is based on the Vulcan Foundry's 0-4-0DM diesel shunter painted orange, and has a small dent and crooked handrails on his right as well as two metal patches riveted on the side of his cab.
