If only ''Thomas and the Magic Railroad'' had an old-fashioned story to go with its winsomely ingenious design. The movie, I'm afraid, is as rambling and obscure as a ''Pokémon'' mara-thon. Alec Baldwin, reduced to a two-foot-tall version of himself, plays Mr. Conductor, who loses his gold dust and is reduced to spouting inane lines like ''My universe is starting to crumble!'' ''Thomas'' has the look of a great fairy tale -- all that's missing is the tale.
