Outdated but still impressive. My dad used to own a couple of engines like that, albeit quite a bit smaller.

A
familiar sight to all who grew up with the
Thomas the Tank Engine series, though I admit this is the first time I've seen a real one before.

It's not outdated. The rail service here is steam powered.
Damn your ethnocentric views.

Outdated insofar as superior technologies do exist in the world. Much like the way my family's '96 Chev Lumina is outdated. Not yet scrap MEHTUL, if you take care of it, but certainly not modern.

Modern trains don't sound as good as steam trains. All chuff chuff chuff chuff chuff and then the all-hallowed "Choo choo!" sound of the whistle.
I love that sound.

As soon as I saw that I thought of Thomas the Tank Engine. I loved that show when I was real little.

Suddenly I feel old, soon as I saw that I thought back to seeing one being used to pull a 'modern' tractor out of a hole ...
