NEW SONG (Possibly) FOUND!
Hi Thomasfan I think I found a new song! :O It went like "work work work till the sun goes down" "shake shake till you shake around" "huffing & puffing huffing & puffing" so is that a new song I discovered?? I just saw it today & I was wondering if I discovered a new song?? SirHandelFalcon  Toot! Toot!  11:18, May 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * On TV this morning at around 7:00AM! :) SirHandelFalcon  Toot! Toot!  16:55, May 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * No! SirHandelFalcon  Toot! Toot!  17:01, May 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * No I am not trying to fool you it was basically about work & it was sung by the same people who sung "Hear the Engines Coming". It was viewed when "Stop That Bus" & "Spencer the Grand" were viewed. SirHandelFalcon  Toot! Toot!  19:59, May 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * It was like work or something but I could not record it since I lost my video camera so you will just have to trust me on this one. Sorry :( SirHandelFalcon  Toot! Toot!  19:59, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

And I forget the name of the song. But it may rerun so I will keep an eye out on it. ;) <font face="Arial"><font color="sky-blue">SirHandelFalcon  Toot! Toot!  21:47, May 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay I will try to look some more for my video camera! ;) <font face="Arial"><font color="sky-blue">SirHandelFalcon  Toot! Toot!  12:15, May 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well I do have a VCR & DVR but they do not record (because of the new channels like 61.2 aka Qubo) <font face="Arial"><font color="sky-blue">SirHandelFalcon  Toot! Toot!  15:45, May 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * The VCR (the one I record on) is old so that could be the reason. <font face="Arial"><font color="sky-blue">SirHandelFalcon  Toot! Toot!  16:37, May 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * I saw the same episode: the song is "Roll Along". CalleyFan 02:31, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Hello!
I would personally say that this wikia place is fantastic besides Sodor Island Fansite. And plus, thanks for making sure I had to follow the rules when it comes to articles, pictures etc. (As well as correcting things when I first edit something) Lastly, ever since I have been a member for almost a year and 3 months, I have some thoughts of updating my Wikia page real soon. Keep up the good work! Dan5589 12:30, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

Crop picture into an icon??
Hi Thomasfan I am going to change my icon but it will require cropping down the "Gallant Old Engine" (2nd version box art) so can I crop it down for my icon?? <font face="Arial"><font color="sky-blue">SirHandelFalcon  Toot! Toot!  01:24, May 16, 2011 (UTC)

Wellsworth?
Do you know what station this is? It almost looks like Wellsworth, but the color is off. Toby7 Ding!Ding! 02:39, May 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Never mind about the Wellsworth part, it's already been added :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 18:40, May 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * The way the station is laid out is identical to how it was in Season 11. Of course it's Wellsworth! The road and phone booth are even in the same place they were before! Jim 14:13, May 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Look behind the workman with the tree. You see that small light red blob? That's it right there. Jim 14:13, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Code page??
Hi Thomasfan sorry if I am annoying you with all of these questions but on |Bulbapedia they have a page with wiki code that I think would be helpful on this Wiki so I was wondering if we could make a Wiki code page?? <font face="Arial"><font color="sky-blue">SirHandelFalcon  Toot!

Birthday Express DVD USA extra
the Birthday Express DVD came with the "Ulitimate Diesel Guide" book. Should that be mentioned in the info? Percyplunge 22:43, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Hello
howdy thomasfan who is your favorite charater from thomas

Whiff
Who did you say was the modeller who thought up Whiff and thought it was funny? I've forgotten his name, and I'll need it if I want to reboot my Sodor Engine Bios series starting with that abomination of an X1. :p Jim 18:34, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

The Birthday Express DVD Triva
on the back cover of the DVD cover has a picture from the season 15 episode "Wonky Whistles". But its not seen in the DVD. Percyplunge 22:59, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Spotlight Request
Hi. TTTE Wiki looks like it is in generally good shape. You would need to drop the main page protection to only protect against new and unregistered users; then I would be happy to add it to the approved spotlight list. Let me know on my talk page when you are ready. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 23:18, May 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey Thomasfan. Wendy said we'll have to lift the protection on the main page so registered users can edit it in order to get a spotlight. What do you think? I think if we keep a close eye out on the main page we should be fine, but is it worth the risk? I don't mean to interfer with an admins job or anything though. Toby7 Ding!Ding! 23:35, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

How?
How could something not need explaining? I didn't understand. And wasn't Thomas going too fast to stop at Dryaw or however it's spelled?

Milk Wagons
I guessed you'd do that to my Milk Wagon edit, but I decided to give it a shot. BramGroatonWikia 14:45, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

Diesel?
Where was Diesel in Thomas, Percy and the Dragon? I didn't see him. 74.13.122.10 18:25, May 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you 70.49.97.17 14:57, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

New Category
I feel like I've been leaving you a lot of messages lately :P I created a new category: Musicians. Is it ok? I felt we needed to be more specific than "production crew". I wanted to check in with you on it before I add any more to the category. :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 20:05, May 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * I understand. That's why I asked you before I added anymore. :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 18:30, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Idea
I have a great idea! How about we put the theme song on the main page so that it plays when anyone enters it? Mr.Conductor 01:09, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Interacting
Hey! Been a while. I hope all's well with ya. I remember you telling me you didn't want to share personal info. with me since this is an open website. Question: Does that apply as well to me interacting with another user? TTTE fan11 09:18, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Forums
Hello, just wanted to let you and SteamTeam know that I'm going to overhaul the forum TODAY. :D I'm gonna work ALL DAY and try to get things FINISHED. Forget the phase process. :) <font face="Arial"> ZEM  talk to me!   12:32, May 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've not quite finished with the forum... but I'm ALMOST DONE. Much, much closer than I've been all year... It should be complete shortly (should be less that 24 hours). I will notify you as soon as it is ready. :) <font face="Arial"> ZEM  talk to me!   02:38, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

Another Category Idea
Hey Thomasfan. I have another category idea, well, a type of Category. It will be a lot of work, but I think it will be helpful for people looking for a DVD/VHS with a certain episode. For example, the actegory could be called "DVD/VHS with Season 1 episodes". I know it sounds a bit messy and a lot of work, but I think It will help organize our DVDs. It's just that we have so many DVDs! Personally, as a DVD collecter, I know it will be helpful. Also, well remember how I said I made a list with all my Wikia YT channel Ideas? Well, I made it a while ago, but wanted to wait to see if I could think of any more. I think I will post them as asoon as the forum opens. :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 21:04, May 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * I just checked community central, and our spotlight request has been approved! :D I'll keep an eye out for it :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 01:06, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * It does, but I thought it would be good to have actual categories. Anyway, Last time I checked, It looks as if the forum has been deleted! I'm sure ZEM has it under control though. One more thing, Have you seen SiF's interview with another Model Maker? It's chock full of info! Toby7 Ding!Ding! 02:34, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

A Question
This might be a dumb question, but is The Island of Sodor based on The North Western Railway?Fanofthomas 02:30, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

ben small
an unknown user has deleted all the info on Ben Small's page JRCS 08:26, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * wait, Actually he made another page of him JRCS 08:38, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Edward Plaques?
Well, if you go 2 minutes and 12 seconds into this video of 'Buzz, Buzz', narrated by NewController01, you'll see an golden oval shape on the side of James' cab. That's the plaque, and like stated, they read 'NWR No. _, Rebuilt ____, Crovan's Gate Works." All the main line engines have it, to my knowledge... Tender Engines 11:03, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

Videos?
Hey... on my YouTube channel, I've been uploading episodes from the VHSs released the same year the episodes came out, such as Thomas and Gordon and other Stories, and I was wondering: could I add these episodes to the pages? They're in 720p HD, so there's no question of quality. How about it?

Announcements
I have another idea. Should we archive the announcements? Just because there is currently alot of content on it, and it will be eaiser to get to the latest annoucement. :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 17:45, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 19:15, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I sent you a PM via YouTube regarding Season 7. Can you check it and reply to me ASAP. Thanks! SteamTeam 08:28, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

New VHS/DVD categories
I have created some new categories for DVDs and VHSs that are released in certain countries because I think one category is too broad and it's harder to find what one's looking for. SteamTeam 09:24, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

Request
I've wrote up information on my fair use tagger and how members of the community can help out, this can be found here. I would be grateful if you could link this from the announcements page, but more importantly, with your approval add the tool to this page. To do this, add the following to the bottom: importScript('User:Acather96/Fair use tagger.js'); Thanks, Acather96 16:18, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

Infobox
Hey, Thomasfan! Can I have the infobox back on my page? Use this picture please: <font face="Arial"> SplatterandDodge  Honk! Honk!  17:14, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

RWS illustrations...
Unfortunately, my scanner's given up the ghost. And my local library doesn't have all the RWS books, so, until I can find a bookstore in Australia that sells them and I get a new scanner, I can't keep uploading. Sorry... Tender Engines 02:51, May 23, 2011 (UTC)

Re:(Messages)
Hi! I'm glad you liked the categories! I'm hoping to film today so I'll film the unrevised scripts and then wait until you've revised them before I record the audio. Also, we've decided that maybe 20 episodes is a bit too many and are thinking of cutting it down to 10? What do you think? SteamTeam 07:57, May 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * We're currently two episodes short of a season so if you could write two episodes it'd be great :) SteamTeam 16:56, May 23, 2011 (UTC)

Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends: Page Improvements
One of the most Important pages on this wikia, Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends, is in needs of repairs. Some vital pieces of info is scattered in the trivia section, and a decent history section of the show is missing. Alot of info that is needed on that page is on smaller individual pages. I'm going to have a shot at writing a brief history of the television series, using mostly info from the trivia section. If you have any problems with it, please leave me a message :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 19:03, May 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Here is what I have written up so far. Creative criticism would be appreciated :)


 * The first known attempts to make a television adaption of the Railway Series was by BBC IN 1935. Hornby Dublo models were to be used but nothing became of this. There are no known photos of this project. There have been several other attempts, the first somewhat sucessful was on the childrens show "Jackanory" in 1970. The books were read out loud by host Ted Ray. 5 books were read in the series untill october 2nd of 1970. The current television series got it's start in 1979 when The Reverend Awdry was interviewed for a feature on steam trains. The producer was Britt Allcroft, who had read some of the books before the interview. She had became fasinated with the characters, and after getting funding from her local bank, acquired the series so she could adapt it for television.


 * Allcroft rounded up a production crew, with included model directer David Mitton, narrator Ringo Starr, and composers Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell. The first season premiered in September 1984, and with it's sucess, came another in 1986. After two sucessful season's, Britt Allcroft made another goal: bringing Thomas into the United States. Due to stricter broadcasting schedules, Britt had to create an half hour progam to go with the the 5 and a half minute episodes. The result was Shining Time Station, starring Ringo Starr has Mr. Conducter. This was also a big sucess, and was the begining of the "Thomas Craze" in America.


 * The television series returned in 1991, there were some big changes. Instead of following the Railwy Series closely like before, Allcroft and David Mitton loosely adapted stories and even wrote their own original episodes, much to the Reverend's anger. The fourth season only had one original episode however, and featured many new characters such as the Narrow Gauge engines. The series was doing incredibly well after that, and a full-length theatrical film came to be. Britt Allcroft decided to drift away completely from Railway Series adapted stories, and the fifth season contained all original storylines. This was so Britt could showcase the series has her own for the upcoming film.


 * The film gained the tiltle "Thomas and the Magic Railroad", and after many changes from the original script, premiered in July of 2000. The film was in a huge failure, and Allcroft was forced of the series. Her company, Gullane, which owned the rights to the franchise, was sold. During the process the sixth series was produced and aired, and so was the seventh. HiT Entertainment was the buyer, and the eighth season came with drastic changes. The episodes gained forulamtic episodes, and more moral and education was added.


 * Sorry that it is so long though. Toby7 Ding!Ding! 19:52, May 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I only removed it because I only had written it up to the eighth season, and wanted to remove until I complete on my own computer to avoid confusion and edit conflicts. I think I'll get it done by tomorrow though :) Pretty much all those dates are from SiF though. Could you tell me which ones are wrong please? Toby7 Ding!Ding! 02:42, May 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Opps! that was supposed to be 1953! I'mm going to finish it today :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 19:28, May 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * I have finished it. I feel it's a good start, now everyone can work off of it. I'm going to look through it a few times to see if there are any typos. :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 20:17, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! Maybe I'll do a Railway Series one too someday :) Toby7 Ding!Ding! 14:29, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

Annual stories
Hey! Would you mind if I create the page of the annual story of 'Thomas & Trevor' along with the rest from 1985 - 1994 annual books? Once I done the page, I would be appreciated for you and SteamTeam for some help to make it nice too. :) (As I seen only two annual stories in the wikia) So what do you think?

episodes idea to share with you
I thought of great episode ideas to share with you i made up, and i want to tell you about them I hope you like them.


 * Thomas & Sidney

Thomas is given a job to work with Sidney to take passengers to the party. But Sidney forgets what place to take them to the party. So Thomas helps Sidney remember the job. Sir Topham Hatt gives Paxton a job to work with Percy deliver the mail. Paxton brags to percy about how good he is when he was being gullible. This causes trouble with the mail train. Percy helps out Paxton and becomes good friends. James has been given a job to work with Norman to deliver a special to the fair. James gets upset that he has to work with Norman and says that diesels and steamies don't have anything in common. After Norman breaks down, James helps Norman, deliver his special and learn that he and Norman do have some things in common, Being really useful and proud of their red paint work.
 * Percy & Paxton
 * James & Norman

So what do you think? i did these episode ideas because Sidney & Thomas is blue, Percy & Paxton is green, & James & Norman are red. Do you have any ideas :)

Spoilers warning
Do you think we should Put in some sort of Spoiler warning to stop people who have not seen an episode?
