Thomas the Tank Engine
Thomas the Tank Engine Wiki History
I want to share some videos of you, showing some of the characters I created for Trainz in real life. First up is Ethan, Black River & Western 8142
You gotta love that horn of his.
Next up, Jessica, Nickel Plate Road number 765
Norfolk Southern probably has Jessica using a Norfolk & Western auxiliary tender in this one, because the Nickel Plate merged into the N&W in 1964. Wabash also joined in on the merger. You'll also get a glimpse of Mily, since 765 runs into the Reading & Northern. Mily is 425
Sean, the Amtrak F40PH:
Though his number is 338, Sean is no different than the F40PH diesels in this video. A nice paint job, high reliability, and a nice horn. Sean's horn sounds just like the one around the 4:47 mark.
Ferris, Chicago & Northwestern number 411
Though he pulls passengers on the Illinois Railway Museum, he doesn't do any of that on the Northern Errol Line. He has to pull freight trains.
The Union Pacific ES44AC, number 5254, Jerry
There wasn't much I could find about Union Pacific number 5254, so you only get to see Jerry work with two other diesels pulling this freight train as he runs in reverse.
Here's another Union Pacific diesel, Jesse
Just like with Jerry, Jesse works with two other diesels. Only, Jesse is on the back of the train. At least, unlike Jerry, Jesse has his video in 4K, at a reasonable frame rate that doesn't make it look like he's moving too fast.
Ian is Reading & Northern 5049
Though he's a Reading & Northern diesel, Ian once worked on the Union Pacific, first being built in 1984. It's a shame he has to be behind the other diesels, and not get the glory that 5017 is having.
Ian: Hey! I get to be the front engine occasionally.
Yeah, sure you do. I'll show you guys two more characters. There will be more added on later, but right now, you will only get two more. Here's another video of Mily
I'll never forget when I rode the Autumn Leaf Excursion on the 8th. She pulled the train with 5030, and the Southern 6 chime still goes off in my head when I sleep, but Mily sounds better with a Reading 6 chime. Whether she's in her current livery, or in the one she wore in 2010, Mily looks very nice in blue.
And finally, Marisa, Union Pacific 844
Wrapping this up is yet another Union Pacific locomotive. This time, it's a steam engine. Marisa is pulling a train with three U.P diesels, but none of them are Jerry. Come back on Saturday for more videos of Trainz characters in real life.
