Presumably Hiro would have been modified to run on standard gauge rails when he was shipped from Japan to Sodor. Also if Hiro's history matched his real world counterparts, he may have served in the Soviet Union at some point, which would also make him rail-leagal in Sodor. But the question remains as why STH would bring a JNR D51 to Sodor if parts needed to maintain him would be sparse. Listen to me sounding like a train nerd! :)
the one thing about this engine being a character in thomas is the fact that he'll be potrayed as a standard gauge while in reality this engine runs on a smaller gauge
