Which Thomas and Friends Vehicles SURVIVED In Real Life?

[@railwayroundhouse3792]

I’d like to make a case for Edward. True, Awdry describes Edward as a Furness K2, but in the stories Edward undergoes several overhauls that ultimately end up with him barely resembling what he looked like to begin with. A closer match to the real Edward isn’t a standard K2, but actually NS 1600. This engine is not only preserved and built by the same manufacturer and works, but is practically a K2 albeit modified to operate in Holland (Where it still remains today in a railway museum).

I think it’s kinda intriguing how 9 of the 9Fs are preserved. And although Molly’s class is extinct, hopefully it won’t be for too much longer now. Also funny fact, one of Porter’s siblings was turned into a replica of Thomas for a Day Out with Thomas event.

Nah Porter's basis is THAT engine

[@croissant-cz5jd]

The engine is known as Burlington Eastern District Terminal 15 (B.E.D.T) which was purchased by Strasburg and arrived on May 9th 1998 before being rebuilt into Strasburg Thomas which still exists now although rumor or truth a supposed incident involving a test run of the rebuilt porter supposedly the eyes of the face had melted from the heat leaving 2 large holes where the eyes were which might have been why the face was revamped

Nia is based on a Kenya-Uganda Railway (KUR) ED1 class, a class of 2-6-2 tank locomotive built by Vulcan Foundry for the Kenya-Uganda Railway between 1926 and 1930. Primarily used for shunting duties, they were also used to haul branch line trains. They were later operated by the East African Railways and were reclassified as part of the EAR 11 class. One member of this class, No. 327, has been preserved

No Gordon is still alive. Technically when news hit sodor of Gordon's Brothers and Sisters all being scrapped, Gordon felt sad and didn't want to pull the express for a few days. So the Fat Controller asked LNER for the Flying Scotsman to visit Gordon to cheer him up. We see this in the season 1 episode Tenders. Although we only see Flying Scotsman's two tenders.

[@NattyStar77]

@@gamingninja5196 I was not talking about the RWS lore, but the context of this video. The guy said that Gordon would still be alive if he was a real engine because he is pretty much the same model as the Flying Scotsman, but the Flying Scotsman is already a separate character in the RWS universe and even TTE. So irl Gordon would be dead

4:01 Depends...if you count the dutch NS 1600 class then has one distant cousin survived (NRS 107) and is preserved in the Nederlands Spoorwegmuseum in Utrecht. (Because both FR K2 und NS 1600 steam locomotives were built around the same time (1889-1903) and from the same builder (Sharp, Stewart and Company) and both look very similiar.

Kenji from the CGI era is based off the 0 Series Shinkansen, which was in service on the Tokaido Shinkansen line connecting Tokyo and Osaka from 1964 when the line first opened up until they were retired in 2008. Much like Hiro's basis D51 class locomotive, the 0 Series Shinkansen has been preserved at various museums and parks across Japan. The leading vehicle of a 0 Series Shinkansen is also preserved at the National Railway Museum in York, UK, and is the only 0 Series Shinkansen that is preserved in a museum outside of Japan. While not a TTTE character, I also figured that Enmu from Demon Slayer: Mugen Train is also worth a shoutout here. The train used in the arc is based off the JGR Class 8620 2-6-0 steam locomotive, which were built between 1914 and 1929. Of the 672 manufactured, around 20 units have been preserved. Number 8620, the first engine of the class, is currently preserved at the Ome Railway Park in Ome, Tokyo, while number 8630 is preserved in working order at the Kyoto Railway Museum in Kyoto. In 2020 and 2021, 8630 was given a special 無限 (Mugen) nameplate and a special excursion train was ran to promote the movie as well.

Those were Scrap Models from broken parts the crew had. I choose to believe Sir Topham Hatt would never scrap any engines, but maybe the Scrap Models could represent other scrapped engines from around the world that were brought to Sodor for what they usually use it for.

[@davidstrawn9272]

Sam is based on Virginian Railway's 2-6-6-6 AG class "Blue Ridges" built by Lima locomotive works in 1945. All of them were scrapped. None survived. However, four years before Virginian Railway bought the 2-6-6-6's, the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway bought extreme similar H8 class 2-6-6-6 locomotives known as the "Alleghenies" built by the same workshop between 1941 and 1948, only two members of the class survived today.

Edward and James are my two favorite characters, yes, it maybe sad that his basis were scrapped, but I am so proud that the NBR K class and the LNER D40 survived, but don't forget the LSWR T9 that's also preserved, it maybe slightly similar to FR K2, but see the T9's smokebox? It looks similar to Edward's, and also built in 1880's. you also forgot one Irish inside cylindered 2-6-0 Mogul that looked like James except Broad Guage is preserved, it's the Dublin and South Eastern Railway 15 and 16, only 461 (15) was preserved by Railway Preservation Society of Ireland, and I'm so proud of it.

[@Davi-hc9rk]

You are right because LNER D40 LSWR T9 AND NBR K CLASS all of them are quite similar to Edward all of them survived preservation and now all of them are remained in present day museum

[@davidstrawn9272]

Yep. Other 4-4-0's similar to Edward that I wished were preserved were NER R1 class 4-4-0 (may look truly resembled Edward in the Railway series and Television series, but too big) And the LNER D31 also known as NBR M class (the D31 looked very Accurate to Edward in the Television series (except for circled windows like Thomas'), and also built between 1884 and 1899). But we still got LSWR T9, LNER D40, and NBR K class. By

[@Davi-hc9rk]

Okay, but another steam locomotive with a similar design to the Funerss K2 is called the LSWR T3, but I prefer the D40 LNER NBR K CLASS and LSWR T9 because for me it is better in my humble opinion.😊👍♥️🚂

[@VestedUTuber]

One small correction regarding Henry, the photo shown next to him is actually a Standard 5. The most notable visual difference is the angle of the front of the cab - original Stanier designs had flat-fronted cabs, while their BR Standard redesigns have the front of the cab at a 45 degree angle from the side.

[@giantfightingroboto]

Thanks for that. I'm definitely more of a Thomas guy than a train guy so I don't catch these things so easily

[@Polskaboi]

Im sorry to say you made a small mistake. It actually is a stanier black 5 you can check by searching up the engines number.

[@VestedUTuber]

@@Polskaboi You do realize that the Black 5 and Standard 5 share much of their design, right? A rebuild could have easily been done. Or do you want to try insisting that Scotsman can only ever be designated as an A1 simply because its number wasn't changed after it was rebuilt into an A3?

[@Polskaboi]

@@VestedUTuber it would easily be possible but it would not be worth it because they had the same power classifcation and it would have to be in br days because that was when the standard 5 was built but then diesels started to roll out so it wouldn't really be worth it (if my spelling is of im sorry english is not my native language

Donald & Douglas are based on the CR class 652 which is a subtype of the 812. This is backed up by the fact the last 652 number is No.57645 while Donald and Douglas are the fictional add-on No.57646 and No.57647 respectively. The 652's have stronger frames and a revised reversing rod shape but looks about the same as the 812's So Donald and Douglas' basis being the 812 is technically correct but also technically not

An argument on Donald and Douglas: Unlucky Tug in his Thomas Debunked series said that Donald and Douglas weren't based on the 812 class, but on the 652 class. However, the two classes do look very similar in terms of design, so people may be forgiven for calling them 812's. The last of the real 652's built was numbered 57645, with Donald being numbered 57646 (the number Sir Topham Hatt the First ordered in the story Hullo, Twins) and Douglas likely being 57647 in The Railway Series.
