A Tank Engine is a steam locomotive that carries its fuel and water supplies in tanks hung over or placed alongside the boiler, or on a frame extension (bunker) at the rear, instead of in a tender. Tank engines were never very popular in the states but were much more so in the UK. Thomas is a remarably authentic tank engine though most of the other trains on the show and series are more typical locomotives.
