Thomas

Thomas is a character who would have appeared briefly in the 2014 American Rail series. He is an E2 class tank engine of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway and is the North Western Railway's No. 1. He primarily serves on the Ffarquhar branch line.

Basis
Thomas is based on the E2 class of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway; specifically, he is based on the 1915 batch, which were given extended side tanks. Thomas has been modified with a straight running plate and a splasher over his front wheels, whereas the originals had curved ends and no splasher.

Livery
Thomas is painted in NWR Blue.

Trivia

 * The original concept for Rex in the 2013 series was a private tank engine who was rented by the D&N for Day Out With Thomas events. A model of Thomas' TV counterpart made by Bachmann would have been used to represent him.
