Last year, HiT Entertainment's Railway Consultant, Sam Wilkinson, uploaded a revised Thomas & Friends map of the Island of Sodor to the Sodor Island Forums.
If you look at the upper-left hand corner, one of the more interesting railways is the Small Railway, which is connected to Duck's branchline. Starting in Arlesburgh West, a trio of miniature engines would roll along a short little railway that the standard and narrow gauge engines can't get to.
In TRWS, there are three (and later four) small engines: Mike, Rex, and Bert.
Mike is in red, Bert in blue, Rex in green.
They would make another appearance under Christopher Awdry's penmanship and introduce a fourth, named Jock:
Despite their popularity, their very small sizes made them apparently unable to be introduced to Thomas as a model.
Well, there's a REALLY HUGE spoiler coming up!
Mike and Rex are scheduled to make an appearance sometime in the next Thomas & Friends movie, Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure. This would mark the first time a RWS character will appear in the TV series since Series 4!
Color me excited!
