Nestle released Twelve Happy Engines back in 1970 as a promotional item in conjunction with then publishers Kaye & Ward Ltd. You had to cut out little pictures from chocolate bar wrappers and glue them into you...r book. The book features an introduction by the Rev. W. Awdry along with profiles of a seemingly random selection of engines. There is an engine from each part of the railway, mainline (Henry, Douglas) branchline (Edward, Thomas, Toby, Daisy), quarry (Bill), small railway (Bert), Skarloey railway (Skarloey, Sir Handel, Duncan and the mountain railway (Culdee, although the picture provided shows Alaric!).
