Pierce Brosnan is also seen leaning against a large model Thomas the Tank Engine as he shows off his suave smile for the camera.
A throwback picture of a young Alec Baldwin shows the actor leaning out of the train's window after appearing in 2000 film Thomas and the Magic Railroad.
Speaking about the celebrity stars who have had cameos over the years, senior producer Ian McCue said: "I think all our voice actors are stars.
"They are such a talented group of people, but it is exciting every now and then to bring in a household celebrity name, and Thomas has had its fair share, from Ringo Starr to Pierce Brosnan.
"Recently,we have had the pleasure to work with the likes of Olivia Colman, John Hurt, Eddie Redmayne, Jamie Campbell Bower and Hugh Bonneville, who are all top of their game and we were very lucky to get the opportunity to work with them.
"They all, at some point, had a connection with Thomas which was why they were so willing to be part of the show.
"However, my favourite moment was meeting Peter Andre for the first time. He may be seen more as a TV personality, but he was an absolute top gent and pulled out all the stops to give his character,‘Ace’,a great performance."

A shocking video shows a woman driving over the graves of dozens of war veterans while hurrying to avoid traffic.
The chaotic incident took place at Houston National Cemetery in Texas after a flyover to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day on Sunday, the outlet KTRK reports.
Witnesses say the woman had been watching the ceremony, in honour of the end of the Second World War in Europe, but became impatient while waiting in a queue of cars for the exit.
She was caught on camera as she ran amok in her red SUV, running over multiple graves.
Amanda Hill, whose grandfather Robert Eugene Marsh and his wife Ruth are among those buried in the cemetery, said the driver took no notice of relatives who shouted and begged her to stop.
Her mother resorted to trying to physically defend the grave of her grandfather, who served during the war as a First Lieutenant in the Air Force carrying out bombing raids in Germany, by standing in front of it.
She attempted to reason with the woman and ask her to stop, but was forced out of the way as the van drove towards her.
"'I felt bad for the families whose loved ones' graves were run over," Ms Hill said.
"It's so disrespectful and especially on a day when we're honouring veterans of World War ll."
The driver has yet to be named or identified.
