Thomas the Train 

"Thomas the Tank Engine is a fictional anthropomorphic steam locomotive created by the Rev. W. V. Awdry in his Railway
Series books, made into the British children's television series Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends (later simplified to Thomas and
Friends) and its American spin-off Shining Time Station.

Thomas is a tank engine: a steam locomotive with large rectangular tanks to carry water, on each side of his boiler. He is based on
the E2 Class 0-6-0T locomotives built for the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway between 1913 and 1916.
In his first appearance in the television series he was described as follows:

Thomas is a tank engine who lives at a big station on the Island of Sodor. He's a cheeky little engine with six small wheels, a short
stumpy funnel, a short stumpy boiler and a short stumpy dome from
the episode "Thomas & Gordon" (known as "Thomas Gets Tricked" in the US)

Thomas the Tank Engine first appeared in 1946 in the book Thomas the Tank Engine as a station pilot, whose job was to shunt
coaches and trucks for the bigger engines.
He longed for more important jobs such as pulling the express train like Gordon, but his
inexperience prevented this. Eventually he was responsible for rescuing James after an accident, and the Fat Controller (then
known as the Fat Director) decided that he was a Really Useful Engine, and ready for his own branch line. He has remained in
charge of this line ever since, with his two coaches Annie and Clarabel, and help from Percy the Small Engine and Toby the Tram
Engine.

At least five different categories of trains and tracks exist: "Take Along Thomas" with grey tracks; Tomy battery-operated
engines with blue tracks; Brio-type wooden engines with wooden rails and roads (by ELC and others); electric model railway
(produced in O gauge by Lionel, HO/OO gauge by Hornby and Bachmann and N gauge by Tomix); and Lego engines and
tracks; along with complementary videos, DVDs, books, games, puzzles, stationery, clothing and household items."
