Thomas is a small blue tank engine. His work residence is on the East Line. His first appearance is the lead role in 'Rolling Stock', he was slated to appear in 'Bomber Diesel Steam' before it was cancelled; He does however make an appearance (although as a none speaking role) in Trailers 1 & 4
In the Mad Bomber, He is first seen collecting coal at the mine, going into the country, then getting to a potato farm where he is blown up by a hidden bomb. A Potato Farmer calls the railyard, and Earl comes on the scene with Jim the Crane. The Fat Controller surveys the damage and suspects there's been a bombing. Thomas is then taken by Earl to the railyard to be repaired. At the railyard, The Fat Controller reports to all the engines about a mad bomber, and they set up a plan to look out for suspicious characters. when he was driving in the night he exploded on Andy Diesel's shed.
