John Lee

John Lee was a model maker and designer for the first season of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.

Before his contribution to Thomas, John's first job was working for Cosgrove Halls on their project of "The Wind In The Willows" in the early 1980's.

During the year of 2007, John went back to work on Thomas for both the eleventh season and The Great Discovery special. And on his final years of his contribution with Thomas before the show moved to Nitrogen Studios, he designed the faces for Flora and Colin as well as sketched out the original face for Hank, wearing a moustache! After a request from HiT to make a younger look on Hank's facial expressions, which were thankfully approved.
