You're very welcome john, and aren't those Pennrail videos something?  Not a commercial for them, but I never get tired of watching that young mans work.

The same message to you, Firelock, for the Pennrail videos.  My grandson liked them too.  The only problem was that after he watched Thomas he wanted to see all the rest but the time ran out.  There will be some for him on his next vist.  Thanks for the link.   John

Thanks for inside Thomas.  I just showed it to my 3 year old grandson.  He's a Thomas fan and he watched the video twice.

Who the heck performed his last 14 year rebuild??? I think he need to go to Juniata or North Platte or Strasburg or...................SOMEWHERE!!!

The Lehigh Valley Railroad, the Route of the Black Diamond Express, John Wilkes and Maple Leaf.

Say, if you guys want to see a live-steam Thomas in action check out www.pennrailvideos.com.   Click on the you tube heading, then scroll down to the "Road to Paradise"  selections, then select  "A Windy Day with Thomas."  You'll see the Thomas the Tank Engine the Strasburg Rail Road created out of an old Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal 0-6-0.  Very clever, and Thomas doesn't need any help pulling that passenger consist either.

It's nothing compared to the noise Thomas makes when his driver forgets to release the hand brake before pulling out of the station.

My God, that noise!  What have they been feeding poor Thomas!  That's the kind of noise MY innards make when I overdose on nachos!


That was horrible!

I just though I would post this since I doubt anyone has seen what the inside of Thomas looks like!
