‘Thomas the Tank Engine’ stopped by police

The driver of a charity rally banger modified to look like an unconvincing Thomas the Tank Engine has been slapped with a £100 fine and three points on his licence.

Police stopped David Scott on May 10 while he was driving the altered BMW 5 Series on the M1. Scott was on his way to Dover to compete in 'Scrumrun', an annual charity rally in which a mystery location is only revealed to participants at the start of the event.
