I would have to say that the Flying Scottsman has to be the most widely-known locomotive in the world-both among railfans and the general public. Even railfans who know absolutely nothing about Briti***rains have heard of the Flying Scottsman. <br /> <br />In response to the previous posts about Thomas, the Rev. Awdry was a real stickler for prototypical accuracy in his characters. I read an article talking about it and apparently he had an extremely nasty relationship with the first illustrator of his books because he didn't draw the trains realistically enough. Henry was drawn so bady that when he got a new illustrator, he wrote a story about Henry being involved in a big wreck and getting rebuilt with a new firebox and then looking different for the sole purpose of him being able to look like an actual locomotive type.
