Now we know where Tom J. gets his song titles...
A portly British railway manager known as "The Fat
Controller" has admitted stealing enough locomotives,
wagons, and carriages to start his own private railway.
Barry Daly, who gained his nickname from the "Thomas the
Tank Engine" children's books, perpetrated an elaborate
fraud to steal four locomotives, nine coaches, and 30
wagons. He planned to sell the equipment, but never
delivered to his clients.
