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. http://www.wired.com/news/news/email/explode-infobeat/story/16002.html Che
