Thomas the Tank Engine is real!!!
-
Notice how he hardly makes any steam and his coupling's different.
...is he rebuilt from a Diesel?
-
@generalhummell I rode the Strasburg one when they lent it to New Hope back in 2002.

is that thomas and gordon rolling by?
-
Yeah but that one has the pistons showing Thomas's pistons are on the inside like the London Brighton and South Coast Railway 0-6-0 E2 engine 115 which fell into a sinkhole on October 22nd, 1892 and was never recovered.

All the Thomas's that travel around North America are just full size rolling shells. They have no way of self propulsion. In Strasburg PA, they have a true steaming Thomas that can pull 8 or 9 of those nice old wooden coaches.

Actually you couldn't be more wrong. The engine is 1942 ex USA 4012, an 0-6-0 switcher engine built for the US Army by ALCO. Engine worked for Pacific Coast Terminals in New Westminster BC, then saved stored and sent to Heritage Park in 1979 - renumbered CPR 2023.
