When I first started my YouTube channel back in 2022, I felt embarrassed to tell my real life friends or anyone that I am a fan of Thomas and Friends given how it's being treated like every other kids show nowadays. But since last year, I've begun to feel more confident in sharing with others

So I just found out the Japanese voice actor for Duck, Murdoch, Kelly and Lorry 3 has passed away (like Malcom-Jamal Warner, I had no idea about it till reading it now). Rest in Peace.

These images sum up how I feel about Thomas and Friends in a nutshell. (I’m really sorry CGI fans. But I’m not a huge fan of it.)

Rusty is very self-assured and is a dedicated worker with a huge heart. Rusty loves adventure and the other engines, which makes their lives much easier.

If Mighty Mac, Proteus and Freddie were given small scale models, do you think their faces would have stay the same as their large scale ones or different?

The kickstarter of GSE S4 has officially begun, and little easter egg reference to a certain Ham-Ham somewhere in this episode!

Hope you enjoy it!

Inspired by the Unlucky Tug, here is a video where I break down my own map of the Island of Sodor.

Not much this year with the Bachmann 2026 reveals. It's nice that they're actually releasing that brakevan though, seeing as it's from the cancelled 80th anniversary set.

What a fantastic lady Britt Allcroft was! Mortgaging her own house to fund the Thomas & Friends television series! And even managing to convince The Beatles drummer Sir Ringo Starr to narrate the first and second series of the show. Those two things take encouragement to do!

Murdoch is a mighty engine with 10 drive wheels. He was brought to the Island to help with the heavy workload and pull freight on the mainline. As shy as he is strong, Murdoch can often be found seeking peace and quiet.

You'd think with all the meet-ups, all that content they make, and even having a documentary dedicated to them, that the Thomas fandom would set a good example to people. But yet again, they have proved time and time again that they couldn't keep themselves in check for one tiny second...
Need to get this out.

As flawed as some of Chris’ stories are, there is absolutely no reason to trash on him like this.
You folks do know he, Veronica and several others are people who keep Wilbert’s legacy alive, and seeing you giving *that* much disrespect to the Reverend’s son is disappointing.

5 years since the original Thomas & Friends series ended. Time really has flown by.

So I watched @cartycinema.bsky.social 's "An Unlikely Fandom" documentary tonight and I cannot lie... I was touched. I will admit that during some fandom drama several years back I got the wrong impression by this documentary, but I'm glad to see the final outcome. Seeing other people's stories-

Percy is the junior member of the principal team of engines and is Thomas’ best friend. He is a happy little chap who's normally quite content puffing around the yard with no particular desire for adventure in the great world outside. He is always keen to oblige, a fact of which the other engines

Bertram lives on a remote part of the island that was very rarely visited. Toby discovered when he had to stay to guard the mine and castle which were being restored to accommodate visitors. At first, Toby thought he was a ghost, but now they are good friends, and are responsible for getting
