Such precision, I'll bet the boys at Spencer Yard [ N.C. RR. Museum] are glad they weren't the host for this one.

I would imagine that "Sir Topham Hat" is a bit more "Redfaced" than normal.
Thomas is probably off in a corner "sulking";or he might be laughing quite hard !!!

FUNNY!
But you don't see that everyday in the U.S.
It just goes to show you that some people are quite dumb.

Fun. Good thing those weren't steamers, they'd probably have to replace the side rods.

Wow, I opened the link and tried to gaze upon the two locomotives snuggling, but my attention was drawn away by an advertisment from an online florist that is selling for $28.95 a dozen roses with an extra six thrown in for free. Thomas may not be a happy tank engine today, but neither am I, but roses would help. I like yellow and pink and white ones.

Espeefoamer,

Indeed, as this photo showed, the Pauli Exclusion Principle: No two electrons surrounding the same atom can occupy the same orbital. (Complicated later by quantum mechanics, but then again, perhaps not.)

Oh this is the "last" episode that had George Carlin as "Mr. Conductor" that never aired. It was when Thomas, Percy and Henry heard Sir Topham Hat shout out "The Seven Dirty Words You Can't Say On TV"!!!!

That is an OPPS [banghead][banghead] Did I do that?
Maybe these two particular engines were draging up the two parallel tracks until then noticed they were becoming one, they both decided to play chicken, and both lost. [:(]

Sir Topham Hat is going to have to send out the Breakdown Train........... Naughty Engines, indeed!!!!

And I know what some old-time roadmasters and/or yardmasters would say. However, I can't use that sort of language on the board or my post would be deleted by the moderator. ([soapbox][banghead][soapbox][banghead][soapbox])

I note that the locomotive numbers on the black plates on the front of the locomotives have been blanked out. I don't recognize the loco on the right as viewed but the one on the left is from the Romanian "23 August" factory. This is probably in Romania or Bulgaria.

Any suggestions?

Two visitors to the Island of Sodor, Ivan and Serg, were suppose to help Thomas in the Yards. Unfortunatly Ivan only spoke Russian, and Serg only spoke Polish....

"Cinders and Ashes!" declared Thomas

Yes, I can well believe it!

I'm a volunteer worker on the Avon Valley Railway, a short , standard gauge preserved line near Bristol, England. We've got a Polish 0-6-0T which always seems to be going wrong. A couple of years ago I visited another line in England which has got an identical loco. That too failed on us and suffered the ultimate indignity of having to be rescued by a diesel loco!
