Listen all I'm saying is if "Thomas & Friends" The Show (1984-2020) is officially over, can we get the Thomas Bible with the orthos please🙏
Don't let those fully functioning 3D models go to waste. Let them live on in fan content!!
Surprise announcement! We Need Another Engine will be arriving later this year and will be our version of Jock's complete book. Be sure to stay tuned for more information in the future. It will be another "special episode" in Season 3 like How Diesel 10 Stole Christmas!
The dealbreaker for Cam and I creating CGI Bruno was if
@DaJoestanator
's story was adapted and we're all really excited to see it come to life soon in Season 5 of Thomas: The Trainz Adventures!
I expected them to use the Nitrogen orthos as opposed to the extra details he got later (disappointed but expected 100%) but Bachmann Stanley looks incredible! It's a dream come true to finally have him in this range at last.
Here's Fergus!
@mainland_studio
and I built our take on what we think Fergus would look like in CGI. Wanted to make his music video before I showed off the model 😁
Catch "We Need Another Engine" finally dropping on December 25th at 2 PM EST!!
Patrons can check it out tomorrow on the 24th! So glad to finally have this done, especially in time for Christmas!
Thinking about how John Hasler and Joseph May started voicing Thomas in The Adventure Begins and ended with Series 24 so technically they got to voice Thomas for his first and last adventures.
‼️People are falsley editing Wikipedia to say Britt Allcroft has died. She replied to a Facebook comment 30min ago. Don't believe everything you see online.
This was brought up in a call and I was determined to find it again. I thought I was going insane until... FINALLY. This was harder to come across than I thought. Some weird cross-promotion thing with minimal rigging and interesting animation. Links below.
Surprise!! Angus was a SUPER big secret we had to keep for a really long time, and I'm proud to reveal him to you all. Jumping out of the magazines,
@mainland_studio
and
@CTFEologist
proudly brought him to life in his new design by
@GoYourOwnWay196
We talked about CGI and how it sucks he doesn't get to voice for it anymore. He really loved playing all his roles and wishes he still could. Says a lot about all the VA's that enjoyed working on Thomas and can't anymore.
Thank you everyone for such an amazing ride in Season 3, and here's to our next adventures!
From all of us at Wye Pictures, and to everyone that helped along the way, thank you!
CGI Skarloey Engine Sheds is so lame. You're telling me this is "supposed" to be the same thing? The buildings are the same. Why are they in the middle of the line? Why are they on curved track? It's not even the full thing. I'm gonna use the S4 design for future episodes.
The current TTTE Wiki team has decided to close down the forums, which I think is a good move. It's hilarious how many people (likely children) are screaming at this decision and threatening to stop editing, when the forums look like this:
RWS Thomas lore be like:
Thomas is a cheeky, blue tank engine who pulls his coaches.
Thorfinn the Mighty drove out King Harold and exiled his son before appointing a puppet king to the throne.
I think it's sort of counterproductive to say both "theres too many trainz videos" and "the fandom is so bored" when the Trainz users are trying to not make us bored by making new videos in an easier to access platform than buying toys that aren't produced anymore.
I had the pleasure of interviewing
@RickSuvalle
for the All Engines Go Wiki as done in the past for the TTTE Wikia. Take a look!
Thank you again, Rick!
Listen, as much as you HATE whatever this may end up turning out to be, can we please not harass the people involved? I'm sure they don't want their phone/pc blowing up with 500 notifications. I know we don't like where this is going but the people involved don't deserve the hate
ALRIGHT I CANT WAIT - I said a few days ago I'm dropping a new OC in the next video. I know it's not REALLY an OC but it technically wasn't a "character" nor actually released. Meet Giuseppe! He'll be featured in an upcoming short.
@mainland_studio
made this for my bday this year
Join us Sunday, January 8th at 3 PM EST for 2022's Christmas Special! The extra time really helped us add more and polish everything to make it even better than we intended. Only available here:

We had an amazing time working on this, with so many things snuck in. We've got references to the Grinch, Spaceballs, Peanuts, Thomas and the Fortune Teller, SpongeBob and so much more. I cannot thank my whole team enough for their creativity, imagination and everything -
TOP OF THE CLASS THREAD:
So as you may have noticed, some of the shots have changed since the channel trailer. I randomly picked scenes, and of course, some of the models weren't done in time. Millie and Dennis didn't actually end up appearing at all.
I guess I never really showed it off here (albeit on Trello) but I made Smudger a while ago, face by
@mainland_studio
(It's recycled from our Rheneas. I don't currently have plans to release it; he only has one face but maybe I'd put it on Patreon for starters)
Reply to this post with character pairings we never saw in all 24 seasons of the show (big group shots like this dont count, i mean actual episode spotlights)
Edits are one thing but it kinda irks me some people are just straight up reuploading the clips, with a couple only adding extra SFX and music. Why not just support the original upload? Just seems like a lazy way to grab views to me. Besides, better scans are coming anyways.
YouTube : “Ah, a Thomas the train video, which clearly is made for children because of the use of kids characters.”
*includes implied sexual content*
YouTube : “As long as it includes kids characters from a series made for kids, it’s for kids! We don’t care what it has in it!”
Through lifes ups and downs, one little blue engine and all of his friends were there for me at any time. It's an honor to be able to tell my own stories and continue a legacy with the friends I've made along the way. Happy 40th Anniversary to the Thomas & Friends TV series!
Today is my 11 year anniversary for my YouTube channel, thus marking my official fandom-joining moment! I didnt get Twitter till much later but it's wild to think I've been here this long. Heres to more years and more adventures until the end! Under 50 subs away from 16k as well!
Top of the Class premieres Tuesday, July 4th at 2 PM EST! That's 1 PM CST, 7 PM GMT, don't miss it!
We've been really busy and hard at work for several months to bring this together for you all. There are plenty of surprises throughout & even after the credits. Please join us!
As adults of the Thomas fandom we need to protect the younger members who don't know right from wrong, not try to slide in their DMs. Politics and whatever the fuck else aside, I can't believe this keeps happening in 2022. How have they not learned any lessons? When will it end??
@TheUnluckyTug
That awkward moment when the same company that made every single damn background Cars character that appeared for 2 seconds can't make all 6 new engines in a Thomas movie
