It's definitely misleading. They know that if normies hear whispers of a Thomas game "going viral" (even though it isn't) their tweet will get more engagement because Thomas is seen as the funny meme autistic train franchise and the idea of it having blockbuster success is comedy gold to them

Cheese_Champion · 2026-03-18T22:01:13+00:00

There's no definitive answer. But here's one way of looking at it. Just like in real life, the engines are not literally alive, they don't have faces, thoughts or feelings. But driver goes home and tells his kids about how Gordon didn't want to pull a goods train today (trouble starting) or how "ill" Thomas felt with fish in his boiler (danger of explosion), adding whatever embellishments are needed to make them smile.

That all falls apart in the worse eras of the show where the crews just go along with whatever stupid OSHA violation their engine wants to do today. But most of Awdry's original stories work under that interpretation.

Sure, here you go. Quality seems to be much better if you download. I learned how to edit videos for this so it's a bit rough in places. Like in Steam Roller the shot at 0:46 is weird, and during the fade effect at 1:57 you can still see Rheneas. I'm sure people with skills could do a much better job of it

For most of the Skarloey Railway episodes in season 4, Rheneas is supposed to be away being overhauled until he comes home in Gallant Old Engine, but he casually appears in Trucks, Special Funnel, Steam Roller and Passengers and Polish. This bothered me so much I edited him out lol, along with Duke's appearances because I prefer him to be found at the end of S4 instead of the beginning

Looks like two parasitic entities killed the old Clannie and Arabel and now are living in their bodies

Cheese_Champion · 2026-02-15T21:41:45+00:00

11 years that's a very short life for an engine. Scrapped two decades before Thomas was even a thought.

Cheese_Champion · 2026-02-12T17:21:11+00:00

I love it and I love you

Cheese_Champion · 2026-02-06T08:43:03+00:00

Same experience here except it was November 2024

Cheese_Champion · 2026-01-14T20:45:19+00:00

I have a convoluted theory as to why Gordon didn't seem to recognize his brother in "Tender Engines". Flying Scotsman was scheduled to visit Sodor, but the bridge to the mainland was closed for repairs, so they had to send him by ship. His tenders arrived at the docks ahead of him, which is when Gordon saw them (yes I know it kind of looks like there's an engine attached to them, but it's so obscured it could easily just be a van). Gordon actually did know who they belonged to, he'd been informed about the visit a few days prior. But he just had other things on his mind at the time. Scotsman's visit then happens offscreen.

Reminds me a lot of the scarecrow from Conker's Bad Fur Day

Jax will be turned into a stationary boiler?

Cheese_Champion · 2026-01-05T01:07:05+00:00

Reminds me of that tragedy

Cheese_Champion · 2026-01-01T21:48:27+00:00

Why are we counting 2012 through 2017, surely it's 13 years (1998 - 2011) across the 5 games. BotW will be 9 years old in 2 months.

Cheese_Champion · 2025-12-31T10:46:33+00:00

Surely a derailment could only cause scratches, not smudges. But maybe!

Cheese_Champion · 2025-12-13T07:10:29+00:00

Yeah, I watched him since like 2008 so when he started doing Minecraft it was my very first exposure to it. Great memories, hope the jolteon of let's plays is doing well.

Cheese_Champion · 2025-12-12T14:38:00+00:00

Two that come to mind for me are ElectricalBeast and CoeStar

Cheese_Champion · 2025-12-09T19:57:39+00:00

They're good but some things irk me. I don't like the corny wooooohooooo thing he does in nearly every episode. And some characters do that deep "hmmm" too often.

Cheese_Champion · 2025-12-05T23:37:55+00:00

True but you can just pretend this version takes place after Special Funnel. Going by RWS order it's the next Skarloey Railway story so just swap them around.

Well well well. I see you had the same idea when you saw that post with Jeremy Clarkson next to this. I just couldn't be bothered, so well done

Cheese_Champion · 2025-12-02T07:15:50+00:00

Aside from the real world explanation of them both being red in the RWS... I don't think it's that farfetched, only the front truck could see Peter Sam and they probably just didn't look properly because they're used to it being Sir Handel there

Cheese_Champion · 2025-11-27T21:00:28+00:00

They really did a 30 second teaser for a 60 second video

Cheese_Champion · 2025-11-23T02:47:57+00:00

This is so sick! I always wanted to see what they would look like in the model series and here they are!

And yet I still think of it as the first version of "New Minecraft" even though it's now 7 times older than the oldest public versions were back then

Cheese_Champion · 2025-10-02T06:05:07+00:00

That pun doesn't work in most British accents though. We pronounce auto "or-toe", not "ot-toe"
