Behind The Scenes
Terence was originally to be called 'Terry', according to a note on the first map of Sodor made by the Rev. W. Awdry: "Here Terry works." However, at some point before Tank Engine Thomas Again was published, this was changed to the more formal name.
Although not specifically defined by any of the Awdrys, Martin Clutterbuck has identified Terence's most likely prototype as a Caterpillar Model Seventy –the largest, and last, design of petrol (gasoline)-powered tractors in Caterpillar's range – of about 1934-vintage.

Famous quotes containing the word scenes:
“How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood,
When fond recollection presents them to view!
The orchard, the meadow, the deep tangled wildwood,
And every loved spot which my infancy knew,”
—Samuel Woodworth (1788–1842)
