Thomas the Tank Engine Thread - The place for fellow autists to gather around and discuss the rising inflation in Sodor.

[AskeDead]

i remember finding an autistic community around pinball machines years ago and thinking that was the pinnacle of it. not surprised at all that thomas the tank engine has an adult community around it. chug on, little tank engines.

You know at one point, the Thomas community was called "tankies." Not even kidding.

I forgot how much of a banger the old TTTE songs were.

I found a scan of Christopher Awdry's lore book "Sodor: Reading Between the Lines" published in 2005. By the time this was published the original lore book was long out of print. This was Christopher's way of keeping his Father's lore alive.

I'll always have a soft spot for the Shining Time Station theme

I expected him to look younger.
Still it sucks his channel got nuked. He was wholesome and quite educational.

The Talyllyn Railway had a photo charter over the weekend before their No. 4 "Edward Thomas" was due to be withdrawn for overhaul. At the end of the event they dressed Edward Thomas up as it's Thomas counterpart.

I don't choose to chug life. Chug life chose me.

I watched the Ringo Starr run and a little of the successor, but promptly checked out after that. That was peak Thomas times.

Had a glimpse of "modern Thomas" on Netflix(?) and that just looks like pure autism.

Seasons 1-7 was the shit. After that, it slowly degraded in quality. Thomas would ultimately become the same terrible baby schlock that all children's shows are today, ending with All Engines Go.
It sucks, I loved the show as a kid; and it was one of the best out there. It had heart and substance to it, and it didn't belittle your intelligence. Children's media today is such unadulterated garbage.
