Day Out with Thomas returns to Essex, CT

@Pablo392- Engine 97 looks like the similar 2-8-0 Consolidation class. IIRC, they currently have two Mikodos and one Consolidation in regular service. One of the "Mikes" is actually from China and was built in the mid to late 1980s! That's not a misprint; this one factory kept building US style steam locomotives until ~ 1999! #40 however is an original US built ALCO engine.

BTW, can I admit that I'm a bit disappointed to learn that Thomas is a dummy engine? LOL

I *think* the version at Edaville/Thomas Land is a runner but I might be confusing them with another group.
