I've loved Thomas &amp; Friends for as long as I can remember and I'm a true fan. I've seen every episode at least twice and got most of the Thomas & Friends Video's and DVD's. I also collect the Wooden Railway.

Normally, when I edit a page. I just modify a small error, like a goof, or a spelling mistake. But, sometimes, I might add in a picture if I think it's necessary and needed. I might add in a piece of information to a page that I know is true and is not already there. I also create pages sometimes if I think that they generate valuable information for the wikia. I've recently created Coal and Coke, The Fultan Ferry, Funtime Book, Hilary Fortnam, Veronica Chambers and Meet the Engines!.

My Favourite Episodes and Films
This is a list of my favourite episodes and films. I prefer episodes remade from Railway Series stories, I think that HiT Entertainment should've remade all the Railway Series stories. I also usually don't like episodes written by Sharon Miller, but, lots of episodes in the favourite line are written by her. I also really liked Misty Island Rescue, that was written by her and I think Day of the Diesels will be quite good too.

Engines
This is a list of my favourite engines.

 * Diesel 10
 * Thomas
 * Edward
 * BoCo

The Reverend W. Awdry
To me, the Reverend W. Awdry was a great man with a great imagination. Because, one day his son Christopher was sick with measles and he wanted entertaining. So, the Reverend made up a story about a little engine called Edward, he called it, Edward's Day Out. Christopher liked the story and wanted more. So, the Reverend made up some more stories. Christopher liked them too, and he soon had four of them. His wife told the Reverend to get them published as The Three Railway Engines. So, the Reverend did so and since that day, The Railway Series begun. The Reverend wrote 26 books, and Christopher has written 16. This is how Thomas & Friends started.

The Railway Series
The Railway Series is excellent. I have all 26 of the Reverend's and 3 of Christopher's. They are a great encouragement for young children to learn to read. Although they have some big words, they are aimed at children up to 8 years.

Goofs
When you see a new Thomas and Friends episode, don't you just hate it when you see really noticable goofs. Dosen't it just spoil the whole episode for you, well, it does for me anyway. It shows lack of care in the writing and producing of the episode. CGI, which I love, doesen't make it much better either. Yes, there obviously cannot be goofs made by model errors. But, you can still have goofs. I mean, just look at this list below, there's 9 goofs on that list, 9!! If you think, 9 goofs per episode (roughly), 26 episodes in a season (roughly), 15 seasons. That works out at 234 goofs a season, THAT'S A WHOPPING, 3510 GOOFS SO FAR, on average. That is a lot of goofs, and I'm sure there's more to come!

This is a list for Thomas and Gordon:
 * There is a black mark on the top-right hand side of Thomas' boiler as soon as the episode begins.
 * Blu-tak appears under Thomas' lamp lots.
 * On Thomas' boiler and on Gordon's bufferbeam, some of the paint is peeling off.
 * When Gordon pulls Thomas out of Henry's Tunnel, the track bounces up and down.
 * When Thomas has his tired face on, he is not coupled to anything.
 * When Gordon pulls Thomas along the viaduct, the edge of the set can be seen.
 * When Gordon pulls Thomas along the viaduct, Thomas dosen't have a face on.
 * When Gordon bounces up and down after the viaduct scene, he's not pulling anything.
 * Thomas puffs away very fast after the narrator says "he was very tired".

CGI
The first time I saw a CGI episode, I was shocked. It was amazing. It was Push Me, Pull You, I just loved the CGI used there so much. Now, ever since that day, I have just loved CGI. I thought Season 12 was great, but when I saw Hero of the Rails, I was shocked. It was much better. I thought that half CGI that HiT used for Season 12 was good, but HOTR just blew me away. Thomas & Friends has changed so much with CGI, because, although I loved Thomas & Friends before, I always used to think it was silly that the engines talked without their mouths moving. I think CGI was a great improvement for Thomas & Friends and that it will encourage more children to watch it. I just can't wait for Day of the Diesels later this year.

My Railway Visits
I haven't been to many railways in my life, only the Mid Hants Watercress Railway. I have also taken a train from Farnborough (Main) Rail Station to Eastleigh Rail Station in England, in 2003. I have also taken a small train around a castle, it showed you the sights. I wish to go to more railways soon in my life
