About me
Hi everyone, I'm SteamTeam one of the admins here. I am now also an admin of the Sooty Wikia (see bottom of this page for link).

I live in the UK.

I am 18 years old (9th March 1994) and have watched Thomas since I was little. I loved it then and love it now. My favourite episodes are Stepney Gets Lost, Thomas, Percy and the Post Train and Off the Rails. My other favourite TV shows include Sooty, Family Guy and American Dad!

What I'm doing - RIGHT NOW!
At the moment I'm hosting and writing SteamTeam Quizzes each week for Calico's YouTube channel. I'm also currently filming a new show for Calico's channel which should be released in mid-May. I will be filming another show with Calico around the end of May which'll be released in the summer. On top of all that, I'm developing a big show aimed at Thomas fans which will be produced in association with this very Wikia. That'll be released towards the end of the year. And there's also a good chance I'll be listening to Phil Collins and Genesis whilst doing all of the above!

What's happening with my series - RIGHT NOW!
All TrackMaster productions are currently on hiatus.

Technical difficulties prevented me from upload the Christmas Special for 2012, but here's the next best thing - the audiobook version (with a bonus story written by Thomasfan). Christmas in the Hills is illustrated using photographs from the unfinished TrackMaster episode.

Season Eight
Season 8 of my series is scheduled for a 2013 release. It may be the last season I make. Not much is known about it yet, as we're currently busy working on Kidnapped, but it will feature a trilogy of episodes (devised by producer C. BonEsterphon). Each episode will be written by one of the three producers of the show (SteamTeam, Thomasfan and C. BonEsterphon). C. BonEsterphon (formerly credited as "C.E.") is likely to take over as the narrator permanently for this season. At least one new character is confirmed to join the show.

SteamTeam's Classic TrackMaster Adventures
Season 1 of Classic TrackMaster Adventures will begin showing soon on CalicoBonEsterphon's YouTube Channel. The first episode will be Thomas, Percy and the Coal. A release date is yet to be confirmed.

You can click below to see a trailer for the series, featuring live-action appearances from SteamTeam and C. BonEsterphon with an outstanding voice over provided by TheTopHatts:

Kidnapped
My first movie is in the works! Kidnapped was written by myself and Thomasfan about two or three years ago. It has a strong "Steamies Vs. Diesel" theme and it will introduce a few new characters which will remain anonymous until its release. A release date has not yet been confirmed, as halfway through filming the camera broke. Although the camera is now repaired, bad weather has meant that Kidnapped has been put back on hiatus. You can view teaser trailers for Kidnapped below:

Season Seven
Season 7 was released in August 2011. It introduced Hank, Flora, and Jeremy to the series and also gave Salty a proper introduction. Hank and Salty are voiced by MurphyProductions828, Flora is voiced by PrettyRosie1995, and Jeremy was voiced by producer C.E.

There was also a Christmas special in 2011 which focused mainly on the road vehicles. It introduced Max and Monty and Butch into the series. Butch is voiced by Adamandthomas1997 and Max was voiced by Lbbrian. Monty is yet to speak. You can watch Snow Bother by clicking below:

Season Six
Season six kicked off with a "pilot" episode, Saved You!, Monday September 6th, 2010. That was followed by a week's worth of episodes that were shown over the week starting on November 15th, 2010. It contained two television series-adapted episodes and six original creations written by myself and Thomasfan. It was also the first season to feature a voice cast (except Saved You!). Here's the episodes (to watch them, just click on them);

Things that I have contributed to the Thomas community
Here is a small list of things that I have discovered for the Thomas community or my proudest achievements.
 * I found the third picture from the episode The Missing Coach (see right)
 * I was the first to discover the characters Den and Owen
 * I was the first to find out that Bob Golding and Mike Grady were joining the voice cast
 * I was the first to discover the picture of Butch which showed his detailed CGI face (see right)
 * I was the first to find out that Rupert Degas voiced Butch and Bertie
 * I discovered deleted episodes No Dozer is an Island, Friendship Story, Treasure Hunt and Safety First. I also discovered the original titles for Percy's Chocolate Crunch, On Site with Thomas and Percy Helps Out.

There have been more, but those are my proudest contributions.

My opinion of CGI
When I first heard Thomas & Friends were moving to CGI, I was devastated, I thought it would completely ruin the series. I pre-ordered HOTR and when it came I had my doubts about it, but when I finally watched it I was amazed. I think all the people that dislike the new CGI Thomas should give it a chance. It brings more realism in my opinion, but, don't get me wrong, I loved the old Thomas and am still upset that it is an end of an era, but I think CGI might not be such a bad idea. Just take a look at the CGI promo of Cranky (below), the sea is so wonderfully realistic, something which never could be properly achieved in the model series.
