rdamon Thomas would not exist in the US as it is a one man crew and the union would object.

Really? What happened to the two very responsible railway workers?
BaltACD Thomas, being American, would not be the smallest engine in the house, he would be the largest.

Surprised they didn't use a Big Boy rather than a 2-6-6-6
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
All I know about that Thomas guy is that he comes around once a year for three weekends in a row, causes absolute chaos and havoc, then leaves the CRRM museum under cover of darkness and goes back to Durango.
"Sam" probably got downsized by those "less than usefull" financial zealots that think they know how to railroad in the US and Canada.
I can see Thomas as a 2-8-4 Berkshire.
Although the first Thomas stories came out in the 1940s, I believe Rev. Awdry based Thomas and the other early engines on engines that he saw as a boy in 1910s Britain. So I would say if Thomas were American, he'd still be from that time frame, a WW1 era engine.
Maybe "Mike the (USRA) Mikado"?
