With the current series being rebooted; can we get a Thomas & Friends spinoff using the amazing Narrow Gauge Engine renders (update Duncan) to retell the RWS books?
What would this be called?

Tha fact that we have never had a Duncan/Sir Handel story is a war crime.
The Skarloey Railway is EXTREMELY underutilized in terms of hilarious character dynamics like that’s a sitcom waiting to happen if you’re brave enough (and sometimes people are and it’s the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen)

What if Primeval also had in-universe ads?
Around 2003 in Chile, when the original trilogy of Star Wars began airing on television there, they did this funny thing to avoid cutting to commercial breaks. They stitched the commercials into the films themselves. Here is one of them, with the English dub added in.

If Port of Par Toby was in the RWS, would they be called "Little Weed"?
This would keep the Flower Pot Men naming scheme.
How come no one talks about the fact that Bill & Ben are named after the characters in the 1952 TV program Flower Pot Men?
Or that they are based on the Port of Par locos which used the naming scheme Punch & Judy after the puppet show?

Once upon a time, there were three little engines who lived in their own little shed on their own little railway. Their names were Duke, Stuart and Falcon.
Oh and that other engine No.2

My Interpretation of David Mitton's East Sodor interpretation.
The Skarloey Railway looping around with the Mid Sodor weaving through the middle makes so much sense why they share locations.
Marked Locations match known Series 4 Coordinates approx. My influences below:

“A realistic Duncan would look out of place next to the other engines.”
@MinistryOfARC
@JonathanAsiama2
Don't get me wrong,it's nice but Duncan looks even more out of place like this. Like it's not like the other Narrow gauge engines in CGI were just replicas of their basis. He looks just out of place.

Please Bachmann, make model series Duncan or Talyllyn accurate Duncan and not CGI Duncan. 🤞🏻
If bachmann are going to give all their Thomas Narrow Gauge engines the Talyllyn repaint treatment hopefully that's incentive not to make CGI Duncan because yeesh

Amazing Peter Sam model by Bachmann. I’m glad to see accurate wheels on the TVS model.
Please please when making Duncan, make him accurate to his Talyllyn-basis and not the Television series CGI model. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Now that we've officially revealed our first sample of Peter Sam in HO/OO (009), we figured we should show off some closer detail shots! **Note: this is an UNPAINTED sample** Production models will wear his full color scheme!

Education Time.
Sir Handel’s trailing wheels are NOT his ‘steamroller’ wheels.
He got trailing wheels on the Mid Sodor to stop bouncing 1910.
He got giving brand new extra wide drive wheels to stop him falling between the tracks 1961. Hence they’re like steamroller wheels.

FYI the ‘Percy and Harold’ sequence in Letters to Santa is actually based on the Railway Series illustrations not the television ‘Percy and Harold’ episode.
I love this sequence in Letters to Santa. It’s wonderful, and probably the best CGI remake of a model series scene (1/2)

You can tell the Mid Sodor Railway didn't maintain their engines. 12 locos over 67 years while the Skarloey Railway only had 2 over 87 years.

Following Peter Sam's accident; the Thin Controller acquired a spare engine to help run the Railway.
Sir Handel: "I don't need help. I can run this railway by myself."
"Yer bum's oot the windae, ye bloo bawbag!"
Needless to say, Sir Handel did not like the new engine.
