> Thomas the Tank Engine's father? In a way. According to an old thread on RYPN, Green Bay created it in 1996 for one of the first US "Day Out With Thomas" events, so it's the forerunner of the other Thomas replicas running around now. Apparently it isn't an authorized Thomas anymore and therefore isn't decorated as such: http://www.rypn.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=42241&start=15 See also: http://www.rypn.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=24271 According to this, it was used as a Thomas from 1996-2002: https://www.deviantart.com/chandlertrainmaster1/art/National-Railroad-Museum-Thomas-1996-2002-685950158 Here's a photo of it at Railfair '99 in Sacramento, CA: http://haskey.com/johnh/railfair99/03_thomas.jpg Date: 11/14/20 19:34 Re: Help with this engine Author: Mudrock Thank you Evan for clearing it up.
