>> I'm almost 100% positive that this is not the reference. I believe that the train thief also borrowed the name from Mr. Self. "The Fat Controller" is one of the protagonists of the excellent novel "My Idea of Fun" by Will Self. >> If Will Self didn't get that name from Thomas the Tank Engine as well I'll, I dunno, I'll sell my Clear collection. TTE has been around for like 70 years, and is 9 million times better known in England than Will Self. Another topic - anyone had dealings with Forced Exposure? Whats the service been like? I've been emailing them for weeks, can't get a word out of them... Very disappointing - their catalogue is fabulous. Cheerio Andrew C.
