Reasons Why I Chose "Thomily"
Original reasons were made by PolVio211, with my own interpretations.

Even though I'm also a fan of this pairing, Thomas x Lady doesn't really make sense, since Lady only appears once in the franchise outside of Thomas and the Magic Railroad, and the locations she works at would mean that she and Thomas wouldn't see each other that often, and her being a magical engine would almost mean she's kind of above the whole idea of romance.

I've always seen Thomas and Rosie as having a brother-and-sister type of relationship; the way Rosie imitates everything Thomas does in her debut episode is something I have always thought of as being like a hyperactive little sister copying her savvier big brother. In Hector the Horrid, Thomas has a "big brother instinct" when Hector scared Rosie away and Thomas sticks up for her by bumping him so hard he de-rails, apologizing him right afterwards. They also friend-zoned each other in Season 22's Rosie is Red.

I haven't watched The Great Race, so I have nothing to say on Thomas x Ashima.

Now, Thomas x Emily is the one I think would work the best, seeing the large number of episodes they share throughout both the HiT era and the CGI era, ever since they first met each other in the classic era (Season 7's Emily's New Coaches). Here are a few reasons why I think it works:
 * Thomas is mainly the one that Emily goes to when she wants to talk about her problems (e.g. Emily's New Route, Emily's Adventure, Emily Saves the World and Best Engine Ever). In the latter two episodes, Thomas was shown to be concerned for Emily when she was upset and wanted to make her feel better.
 * Both of them have a fair share of episodes dealing with a particular something that they have in common (like a tendency to be impatient - Thomas in Thomas' Train and Emily in Emily's New Route and As Good as Gordon).
 * Emily is the only character in the series besides Thomas that says "cinders and ashes" (in Tickled Pink).
 * Emily has this tendency to show Thomas places she likes (Black Loch in Emily's New Route and the field with the children playing in No Snow for Thomas).
 * Thomas is one of the main reasons why Emily likes sleeping in the company of others (a reference to Calling All Engines where she takes a while to start enjoying sharing her shed with him before starting to miss having him around with her there).
 * While some episodes shows them occasionally getting cross at each other (e.g. Thomas, Emily and the Slowplough to which I find No Snow for Thomas better), they always work it out by the end of the episode. It also seems to show that it would be a bit more for a realistic relationship that shows there's not always everything going well.

But again, that's just me, so I expect that a lot of you will see things differently.
