Not really Trainz but cool either way. A now deleted mod for TF2 replaces the bomb carts with Thomas (for BLU) and James (for RED) models, what's interesting is that they both contain special thanks to Mstnoodle, very fun!

Back around 2011, Trainboy54 (yes, THE Trainboy54) made a few Trainz videos on one of his channels. As of posting this tweet, none of his Trainz videos were preserved and it's unlikely they'll resurface, despite the user attached to them.

The lamp of the 2009 Thomas has a lamp iron underneath the main model, presumably a leftover from the 2006 model. Thanks to @/Zeldaboy14 for bringing it up in the TLAF Discord server
