The actual pic of "Thomas" is way down the page, and links to here:
http://www.llangollen-railway.co.uk/stock/steam/pics/thom.jpg
Although this engine isn't the same class as the one Thomas is based on,
it's very similar.
There's a picture of a model of the LBSC E2 tank engine which James
mentioned in a previous message that Thomas is supposedly based on, here:
http://www.lbscr.demon.co.uk/models/locos/commercial/Hornby-100.jpg
There are a lot of detail differences between this engine and the drawings
of Thomas in the books - the "Jinty" pictured above is actually a lot
closer.
