Thomas the Tank Engine
Saturday, 28th January 2006 by James Turnbull
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).

Best. Sight. Ever.
Thomas the Tank engine comes to visit the Mt Hood Railroad in Hood River County, Oregon every summer
Holy crap!! I remember that show. I loved it.
I think I can, I think I can….oops, wrong story.
I’m with flyingscot! Best. Sight. Ever.
Again, a pretty cool sight, but i like the one with the giant plane
Seconded. This is way better than those UFOs…
I am with everyone else. This is a fantastic spot and by far the best sighting yet!
Its good to see that amongst all the filth and depravity that fills the world wide web there is still a tiny corner where innocence and childish joy can still find a home. Toot Toot!
Thomas the tank engine is only on the steam railway once a year. So I can find out what year the photo was taken in, I should be able to find myself standing somewhere in that station
Great sight!
This looks like a typical model railroad scenery. Must be a cool place! 🙂
i think it looks bizarre and surrealistic….
Wow, Tomas The Tank, he’s so cool. He comes to my 3 local towns every year and i go to everyone. And by the way the photo looks like thomas not George, he’s bigger.
“Matthew” look at your spelling- tomas=thomas, everyone=every one. Please change it, Very disapointing
Wow, someone else spotted it too! It does look mighty like the programme from space doesn’t it! Happy Google Earthing! p.s. its summer 2004 I think.
i’ve been there, that place rocks!
Jayne, disapointing = disappointing.
(It’s the law, every spelling flame must contain a spelling error. Except this one. 🙂
I LOVE the face on the train!!! o ya the sights were ok…
My grandson loves Thomas and all his friends. Could you sugest a place we could go to see more than Thomas? We visited Tweetsie Railroad early on this year. Twenty minutes with Thomas just wasn’t enough!He loves them all. Any sugestions would be great !
I was just watching thomas he is the coolest
thomas is the best
i would like to know when thomas is coming to hood river,or
