During my childhood years I was convinced that the excellent Thomas & Friends, a cartoon about a locomotive who liked being really useful but wasn’t too keen on plowing snow, was a work of fiction.

However, as proved by this photo, I was wrong. All these years later Thomas The Tank Engine is still in service having been relocated to the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, where he hangs out with various steam engines and other anthropomorphic vehicles (I think this is George the Steam roller).
