Biography
In this section I'll talk about my life with Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends.

Well, it all started out in a little gift shop that I visited on a holiday when I was little. There were some Brio trains. I don't remeber any Thomas stuff, just normal wooden trains. This sparked my love for trains. Somehow my parents found a Thomas VHS, and since I was becoming a train-nut, they figured I would like and. And boy they were right. They were more than right. I was HOOKED! My parents continued to buy me VHSs, and they sooon discovered Thomas Wooden Railway. I had became a Thomas nut. So, I went through that phase until Season 8, when I began to have more interest in real trains, like the Amtrak Acela or The Flying Scotsman. My last Thomas DVD was Steamies vs. Diesel and Other Thomas Adventures. Luckily, I kept all the DVD's and merchandise I had, but it was left untouched for a long time....

In December of 2007, I visited a young cousin in Califonia who was going through his own Thomas obession. I spent my visit playing and watching Thomas with him. When we took him out sight-seeing, Whenever he saw a streetcar (or tram if you live in Europe), he would shoot out "TOBY!!!!" "IT'S TOBY!!!". That is how my favorite character became Toby.

So that visit re-lite my Thomas interest. I pulled out my old Thomas the Tank Engine: The Complete Collection. I soon realized the amazing work of Wilbert Awdry, and I wanted to learn more about the series. I went on online, and found this wiki. Unfortunetly in was spam filled, but little did I know that some great users were working on making it better. I also found SiF, and YouTube actually had a lot of info too! I started to collect DVD's, and I wanted to watch every episode in the series that I hadn't seen before.

I began using the wiki more around 2010 to use it as a checklist for DVD's and other things. I never really thought about becoming a user, but I still loved this site. When MIR came out, I used the site everyday for research, and soon my head became filled with Thomas info! In November of 2010, I became seriously ill, and Thomas was one of those things that kept me entertained.
