Thomas pulled this consist by himself? (or, no children listening. . . please) were the RDC's under power?

I believe the RDC's were just providing A/C.

Thomas insisted on doing all the work because that is what really useful engines do :-)

Confirmed, RDC's were just cooling off the passengers (when it was working)

Two questions here:
1) What route does Thomas take to arrive at Cape May and later leave?
2) Is the same tank engine that used to work the NY waterfront?

How are the "Thomas" videos produced? They look like a combination of real scale models on a scale model infrastructure with animation effects added.
