About Me
Hello, I'm OliverDuckandToad11, I have been into Thomas since I was only a few months old and I still like it now.

Why I Like Oliver So Much
The reason why Oliver is my favourite character has got a lot to explain. First off, I like the idea for his basis, a Great Western 14xx auto tank engine, his escape in the episode of the same name was amazing and I like his personality, willing to admit every day is a learning curve. Ever since Oliver debuted in Season 3, he has been the main character in many episodes prior to his introduction (Oliver's Find and Snow Engine). Though as it came to Season 6, he only made cameo appearances in that season which I was quite disappointed about, but at least he got speaking roles again in Season 7, though I was more let down when Oliver didn't appear at all in Seasons 8-11, but I was glad to see him in Season 12 after a long hiatus, but wasn't expecting him to appear in only two episodes in that season and plus never appear again until future seasons, like Seasons 8-11, Oliver was completely absent during Seasons 13-17 and I was worried that he would never appear in the series, but when he returned in Season 18, I was so relieved that he appeared, but I wasn't expecting him to have one of the worst CGI renders in the whole Thomas franchise. I mean, he is so small compared to how he was in the Model Series, but sadly, Oliver hasn't got any episodes of his own yet in the CGI Series because strangely, his brakevan Toad is getting all the roles which I'm getting slightly frustrated at, he's the brakevan for a reason! Though despite not having his own episode yet, his role in Toad and the Whale was great, but his roles in Season 20 were great, being a major character in the two Skiff episodes Blown Away and Skiff and the Mermaid which have to date become my two favourite episodes in the entire Thomas & Friends franchise. I kind of didn't like how Oliver did not appear in Season 21, but I'm hoping he'll appear in the future and get an episode of his own at last! Though asides from that, Oliver's basis was one of the best choices and Joe Mills, his voice actor in the CGI Series, does a superb voice for him, suits him very well. That is why Oliver is my all-time favourite character in the series.

Specials from Favourite to Least Favourite

 * 1) Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure (10/10; Best Thomas special yet!)
 * 2) The Adventure Begins (9.5/10; Very nice classical Thomas-formatted special)
 * 3) Tale of the Brave (9/10; Liked the moral of it, and it had some very thrilling moments)
 * 4) Blue Mountain Mystery (8.5/10; Best Nitrogen-era special of all, great use of the narrow gauge engines)
 * 5) The Great Discovery (8.5/10; Best model special of all, Stanley is a very well-introduced character)
 * 6) King of the Railway (8/10; Nice use of characters and storyline, but it felt like it could've been a double-length episode of some sort more then a special)
 * 7) Journey Beyond Sodor (8/10; Great special with some very good introduced characters and excellent storyline, but there were a couple of flaws in it)
 * 8) Hero of the Rails (7.5/10; Good, but not great, the plot didn't really make sense)
 * 9) Calling All Engines! (7/10; I know some people hate it, but I consider it a guilty pleasure, plus the moral was nice)
 * 10) The Great Race (5.5/10; Not bad, but it could have been better)
 * 11) Misty Island Rescue (5/10; The special that introduced three of the most pointless characters in Thomas history, but the music and storyline were great)
 * 12) Day of the Diesels (3/10; Awkwardly done, it's poorly written and has so much filler)
 * 13) Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2/10; Worst special ever! For a start, magic doesn't even exist on Sodor)

Top 5 Least Favourite Thomas songs
Dishonourable Mentions: Engine Roll Call (I don't really hate it. I just think it's been overused over the years. But I do find the Season 19 version to be quite catchy)
 * 1) It's Halloween (Worst song ever!!! Everything in this song sucks; the singing, the tune, the sound effects, etc)
 * 2) Day of the Diesels (The rock 'n' roll tune in this song sucks, the singing sucks and the sound effects suck, literally everything in this song sucks)
 * 3) Thomas and Percy (The fact that Thomas and Percy are best friends has been shoved down our throats several times before)
 * 4) Hear the Engines Coming (Just can't stand this song at all)
 * 5) Hey, Hey Thomas! (Meh is all I have to say)

My Ideas of Voice Actors for Characters
People who I think should voice the Characters who haven't come back or spoken in CGI.
 * 1) Stepney - Keith Wickham (UK)/William Hope (US)
 * 2) The Foreign Engine - Robert Wilfort (UK/US)
 * 3) Neil - Joe Mills (UK/US)
 * 4) Wilbert - Steven Kynman (UK/US)
 * 5) Mallard - Rufus Jones (UK/US)
 * 6) Lady - Lucy Montgomery (UK/US)

 * 16) Logan - Tom Stourton (UK/US) (I think his voice would sound exactly like Rex's)
 * 17) Rajiv - Kunal Nayyer (UK/US) (As Rajiv will be returning in Season 22, I'm taking a guess on who will voice him)
 * 18) BoCo - Keith Wickham (UK/US)

My Contributions

 * I was the first to find out the plot for Three Steam Engines Gruff and was also the first to find out that Thomas, Percy and Toby would be appearing.
 * I added the plot for Cautious Connor.
 * I was the person who thought of the idea of having "Appearances" sections on locations' pages.
 * I was the person who thought of the idea of having pictures under a Railway Series title (e.g. pictures from Edward's Day Out go under the words "Edward's Day Out").
 * I created the following pages/templates/categories:
