Oh because it looked like Thomas sorry

At least it is not using electricity! :D I could use it in a power outage! So that means:
"Hey Matt, what are you doing in the dark?"
"I'm playin with my train!"

@robyn051 - Not EVERY blue British steam locomotive is a "Thomas the Tank Engine"! ;) This one WASN'T.

Who is the manufacturer of the blue English type locomotive?

@Amtrak1194 - Not certain, wasn't one of mine (I owned the 3-cylinder Shay pulling the log train, & the "Ruby" 2-4-2 pulling a short train of Bachmann passenger cars). I'm going to guess either Accucraft or Roundhouse - maybe someone who recognizes it might chime in. ;)

what are those weird steam locos i saw on her where the pistons are going up and down and to rod and not side to side like a regular steam engine called? 0:50-1:05 that engine?

That's my Accucraft 3-cylinder Shay; the prototype was Mich-Cal Lumber Co. #5 (scrapped in the 1950's). Shays were commonly used in logging or mining operations; the vertical cylinders (2 or 3) turn a crankshaft that drives the wheels on the 4-wheel trucks via a series of slip & universal joints & bevel gears. This permitted these locos to operate on rough, temporary track & tight curves. The gearing also enabled them to climb steep grades (up to 10% or a bit more) with heavy loads.
