Kwaku's Tender (with a face)

Kwaku is a Garratt locomotive from Tanzania. Obviously he's from Thomas & Friends, first appearing in the film Big World, Big Adventures. From what I read, he is seen arriving at port in Dar Es Salaam with a goods train, saying 'hello' to Nia and Thomas in the process. Nia is a tank engine from Kenya, and is based on the Kenya-Uganda Railway ED1 class. As for Kwaku, he is based on the East African Railways Class 59.

This reskin is somewhat unique, because I'm not sure if many other people have attempted a Garratt in Rolling Line. Obviously there's no proper Garratt model in the game yet (Franks if you're reading this, please add Garratts), so I had to make do with reskinning the AB model and giving it two tenders, one on each end. For those who don't know, Garratts are articulated steam locomotives made up of two engine units, with the boiler on a cradle-frame between them. Examples of Garratt types include the New Zealand Railways G class, South African Railways GMAM class, and the London & North Eastern Railway U1 class.

Once you've got this reskin in game, he should be marshalled as follows:
Tender 1 (this item)
Engine (with the smokebox facing the first tender)
Tender 2 (the coal tender)
