so.... the disel train is actually kind of a electric train?

[ThomasPercyandToby2]

@TheNewVideos Sort of, only the motor needs diesel to run rather than just electricity

Totally did not understand how diesel engines work, is this becouse im not a child?

[ThomasPercyandToby2]

@Dmetrey437 No, it's because a lot of people don't.

At least this is alittle more educational then the original series. But, they never go into detail of how Thomas cylinder works.

And wouldn't Diesel be a diesel/electric engine instead of diesel?
