Thomas the Tank Engine.
This article is about the fictional tank engine. For the television series, see Thomas and Friends.
Thomas the Tank Engine is a fictional anthropomorphic tank 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.
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.
His closest friends are Annie and Clarabel, his two coaches. He is also very good friends with Percy (despite a lot of arguments), Toby, his old friend Edward, and his frequent substitute Duck.
Thomas is based on the E2 Class 0-6-0T locomotives built for the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway between 1913 and 1916.
