If the crew wanted more Thomas-centric episodes in Season 2: why didn't they adapt these good 'uns published years before?
Especially `Stop Thief!`: that one wouldn't draw accusations of `Percy overuse`.

Brief note on liveries: I'm still making up my mind on Nia's, but I wish Rebecca wore one of these liveries.
(I know the blue ones are Merchant Navy's and Rebecca's a Light Pacific; but hey, that doesn't prevent the team applying a MN livery)

I'd argue its worse in 'Thomas and the Special Letter'.
Toby (visibly confused): "How can something be up when its down?"
You were meant to say it "reasonably" Toby, the heck you confused for?!

Hold on - you mean The Buried Truck's character was going to be in S7?🤔
In all seriousness, thanks for sharing, really nice to see an old ad for the pre-HIT model series.

"Percy's had an accident!", cried Toby.
"Absolute rot!", protested Thomas.
"What is this, Season 5?", asked Toby.

I've written (and am writing) some Thomas stories, which I'll release here once I work out how to add them. I'm planning some stories on the years before, during and after WW1.
Really like Brian by @wildnorwester.bsky.social, but I must resist including him. New OC brake van needed from me I think!

OK so I only learnt today that 'Hullo Twins' had a different final script from the leaked one from 2022.
Several differences and simplifications compared with the book. Plus the Gordon and Henry scene and Duck talking to Douglas added back in.
I love Thomas behind-the-scenes and reveals.

2025 has been a (unrivalled?) year for Thomas-related finds.
Even so, I have my sights set on a certain cancelled Season 2 episode:

I totally get it if Trampy stops making Trampy Movies at any point.
But I had an idea and, well, I gave it a go. (Couldn't work out how to add the logo though).

That time BoCo and Daisy had a child together.
Season 1 and 2 behind-the-scenes is such a mood.

From my contact with him, it seems David Maidment (Railway Consultant for Season 5) contributed to "James and 'Super' E.D." by providing the concept of a train being hit by lightning.
That is unless another episode that I overlooked uses this, or it was reworked.
(He said I could share.)

I propose a fundraiser to get the 'God Tier' on @sudderym.bsky.social's Patreon, so he makes the most script-accurate Season 5 styled adaptation of "James and 'Super' E.D." of all time.
Just need to raise £771.50 per month... 😅

If I had a nickel for every time the upcoming Thomas series acquired a character whose name started with 'Crane Truck', I'd have two nickels.
Which isn't a lot, but its weird that it happened twice.

Are these images known to Thomas fans? They're from the 2007 British Railway Modelling Annual, which also has details on Awdry's models (standard and narrow gauge) and layouts.

If you thought Percy sounded deep saying "Silence" when Michael Angelis voiced him in the cut TATMR shed scene, imagine Suddy Soap-Bar voicing him.
"SILENCE!"

Mitton must have been on something when writing 'James and Super E.D.'...
A wack concept but another addition to a fantastic year of Thomas-related discoveries.
