Don't know all of the particulars about this Thomas, but he came to
Minneapolis last weekend and the weekend before (snowed *both*
weekends!)  I do know that he is a dummy (a hard-working GP-7 pushed him
around from the rear).  Ross (my son) said that the boiler was hollow
and that there was a folding chair in it!  But he was faithfully
reproduced to resemble the TV series Thomas very closely, and he looked
really good.

Ross grew up on Thomas and his love of trains could probably be traced
to this cheeky little engine.  Though most of the kids in attendance
were around the age of 4, I *had* to bring Ross:-)  Here are some shots
of him and Thomas together:
