A little bit about My Love for Thomas!
Hello, My name is SirHandel27. I have been a Thomas fan nearly all my life and every time I watch an episode, I'm loving every moment of it. I have Wooden railway, Take Along/Take-n-Play, Ertl and Hornby trains and am building a massive Hornby layout! I am also a massive TUGS fan and own every single VHS! I am currently writing a RWS version of King of the Railway, which i will hoefully release online!

My View on the CGI Series
I watched the first airing of Series 12 in the UK. The first piece of CGI I saw was Thomas looking up at the bridge with the boy waving in the opening credits. I was very confused as I was unaware of the new CGI style. Then I saw Thomas saying, "Hello everybody..." which made me wonder if the models were going to disappear :(. After seeing Thomas and the Billboard, I was disappointed. Not the best episode and I was still upset about the moving faces and people. However, when Steady Eddie came out, my mind was slightly changed. A great Episode and I was slowly getting used to all the CGI. As the episodes went on, I got more and more used to the changes. I was happy to see Great Waterton make an appearance, and I thought that Hank and Flora looked great, and the fact that Hector made another appearance, this time a good truck made me all the happier. Neville, Murdoch, Duck, Oliver and Toad's return even happier. Then, Hero of the Rails came out. I kinda liked it, but I wasn't as special as The Great Discovery. I was disappointed that models had completely gone, but liked the way the different characters had their own voices. I thought Nitrogen Studios did a great job, but I still prefer the models. Series 13 was a real downside to me. I felt that the episodes were quite rushed, and not thought out as good as they could of. There were some really good episodes, but some that really didn't need to be there. And the fact that the writers were going against the original series is really annoying. In The Early Bird, the episode is how Thomas learns how to pull the mail. This writer obviously hasn't seen Thomas, Percy and the Post Train. Thomas was the original engine to pull the mail. This episode really didn't make any sense.

And then, Misty Island Rescue came out. WOW! I thought it was quite good, with a great story line with epic scenes. The only disappointment is how unrealistic Misty Island is with the Shake Shake Bridge, the Zip Line Bridge, Ol' Wheezy and the lack of humans are just a few of these things, as well as the rhyming. But the series that followed is one of my favourite series ever. A really good pick up after the down sided first impression of CGI. Ok, maybe a few of the episodes could have been better, but the majority were really cool. I enjoyed watching every episode.

Next up, Series 15 aired early, for unknown reasons. I think this series had some great episodes, but the fact that Sharon Miller wrote nearly all the episodes, made me feel it was kinda rushed. Now, before I found TTTE Wikia, all my life I used Wikipedia. And Wikipedia said that the 17th episode was called "The Biggest Coal Run Ever" and Neville was going to be the main character. Wasn't I disappointed that when it came for the 17th episode, Wonky Whistle, the worst episode in Thomas' History, came on. I'm sorry guys, but when you think Neville is going to appear in CGI, then that comes on, you've gotta hate it! Then came Day of the Diesels. I liked this one a lot; I just found it rather repetitive from The Great Discovery. One main example, is when Percy finds Flynn in his berth of Tidmouth Sheds, doesn't this sound similar to when Thomas finds Stanley in his berth. And how Percy was always racing back to the Dieselworks also got annoying. But the music was epic, and the scene of the steamies racing to take back the Steamworks is one of my favourite scenes ever!

Series 16 came up next, and it was a lot better than the previous series. Some episodes were pretty lame, like Thomas Toots the Crows, but there were some amazing ones too. And for the first time in years, there is a story where Thomas doesn't have a speaking roll. Percy and the Monster of Brendam, Percy and the Calliope and Whiff's Wish were truly remarkable. Whiff's Wish also brought the return of the Sodor Suspension Bridge and the Flying Kipper. In the US, it said the quarry was Ffarquhar quarry. The writer, Andy Bernhardt, must be a fan of the railway series. Finally, Blue Mountain Mystery arrived. I found this very exciting, and one of the best specials. I felt that there could have been a bit more places, the BMQ appeared too much. But a very thrilling final piece for Nitrogen Studios to end.

I think Nitrogen did a very good job at the Thomas series.

When Railway Mischief came out, I was really excited. But it was a very long wait for the videos to be posted on YouTube. I was a little disappointed to find out that Michael Angelis had left the voice cast, but Mark is just as good. I found that Arc productions also did quite a good job. I couldn't say it was better, but it was different. They moved to different angles more, and Kellsthorpe returned! However, I found it hard that in the final scene of Wayward Winston all the engines were puffing along the same track. I'm very excited that Series 17 has aired and the episodes so far are great, bar Steamie Stafford, which was slightly a downcast for me. But DUCK RETURNED! I also enjoyed finding out more from Ulfstead Castle and Millie and I enjoyed Charlie's quest to get somebody to believe him about the elephant! And then came the most amazing special of all times, King of the Railway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It really was a great day P when I brought it and watched it at home (I got it on the day it came out) and boy was it brill. Not only was the animation tops, but the story line was AMAZING like totally cool like well epic! And HENRY DOESNT HAVE SPECIAL COAL ANYMORE. WHAT????????! I LOVE Andrew Brenner, his writing style is AMAZING AND NOW I'M SO HYPED UP I BETTER STOP WRITING BEFORE I BREAK THE KEYBORD/COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then, the next five episodes of season 17 are released. YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! They were TOTS awesome man, with Bill and Ben in CGI? :O, and Duck having his own episode, and HIS MODEL APPEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’M LOVING THEN NEW WRITING TEAM

My Story Audition for TheDirtyTrain1
I hope this is good enough - I really want to be a writer for your series :D One morning Henry and James were at the harbour by the big station. A ship had brought in a heavy load of containers that the engines would have to take across the island, double heading the train. James was a snooty as ever, and was giving Henry a hard time. “I'm going at the front Henry, so everybody can admire my paintwork.” “You're just scared of everyone thinking you are a shipping container!” Henry snapped back. “That's not funny!” James said angrily. “At least I can control goods trains and not smash into others!” This made Henry furious. He backed down to the train, and James steamed in front. The two were soon coupled up, and departed from the Docks.

As they steamed along, James was still being rude to Henry, reminding him about his incident with the Flying Kipper. As they engines pulled into Edwards Station, Henry made up his mind. “Very well James, if you think you can control this train, you do it then. I will only push when you tell me to, and I will only brake when you brake.” James was pleased, although he was a little nervous. Usually it was Henry who controlled the braking, and he just followed on, as he was the smaller engine. But he was determined to prove himself. “Very well Henry, let’s go.”

Beyond Edwards station laid Gordon’s Hill. The two engines heaved and hauled the heavy train to the bottom. Henry was about to start pushing harder, when he remembered that he would only do so when James told him to. So he didn't, and let James heave the heavy train himself. James was red in the face, but had forgotten to tell Henry to stop. The train was very heavy and James’ pistons were almost popping. Then he remembered he was in charge, and called to Henry. “Push you great green lump of scrap metal!” Henry chuckled. He had plenty of puff. He began to push the train, slowly at first, but then began to speed up. In no time at all the engines were at the top of the hill. James was pleased, but now, he’d forgotten to tell Henry to stop. Henry chuckled. He was going to pay James out for all his teasing. He pushed hard as they began to descend, instead of braking. James gasped as the train began to rapidly pick up speed. He tried to stop, but he couldn't, the train and Henry’s push was too heavy. “Ahhh,” James called, “Stop Henry, Stop!” Henry did so, slamming them on as hard as he could. Then there was trouble. Henry put so much pressure on his brakes that they broke. Henry couldn’t stop the train; he was just speeding up again. They engines were unstoppable!

At Maron station, Scruff and Charlie were talking. Charlie was telling jokes. “What's fast, and goes whoosh?” he asked. “Err, I don’t know Charlie.” Scruff replied. “A...” Before Charlie could reply, James and Henry thundered through. Charlie and Scruff were amazed!

Stephen was steaming slowly back to Ulfstead Castle, when suddenly Henry and James roared past. “Whoa!” Stephen cried, “That's real Rocket speed!”

Gordon was steaming along, pulling the express. He was proud to be the fastest engine on Sodor, and wanted to show everybody this. He saw Thomas up ahead, and whistled to him. “Look at me Thomas, aren't I just the fastest engine on Sodor?” Suddenly James and Henry rushed past him, over taking him and disappearing into the distance. Gordon gasped. Thomas chuckled “Not so fast now Gordon!” he said.

The news of the runaway was sent down the line. At the next station, Percy was pulling some milk trucks on the same line. Quickly he was set into a siding, but he could hear the rumble of the train getting louder and louder. James saw the train getting closer and closer “Oh no! We’re going to crash!” Luckily, Percy cleared the siding just in time. “Oh help!” Percy wailed, as James’ buffer scratched past the last milk tanker. “Phew, that was close.” remarked Percy’s driver.

“Henry, we need to stop!” yelled James. “I can’t help!” replied Henry. Just then, the engines saw a red signal. Up ahead was a sharp bend. Around the bend, was Edward, and he had broken down. The train was pushing them along much too fast, and James knew there would be a big crash. Then, Henry had a good idea. “James, keep puffing, as fast as you can!” “Why?” James asked “Jumping the bend will be better than hitting Edward.” Henry replied. So James sped up, with Henry doing all he could. Edward gasped as he saw the train hurtling towards him. James looked ahead, and then began to puff, faster and faster. Edward shut his eyes, not understanding what was going on. Suddenly, the runaway train was at the bend. No engine could look. Every driver and fireman jumped clear, as...

James opened his eyes. He was alright, he was still in one piece. Quickly he looked around his surroundings. He was in a field, in a massive bank of earth! He looked left, and saw Henry, in the same bank, looking very sorry for himself. But they engines were alright. Just then, the drivers and firemen arrived. James driver was clearing mud from his wheels. “You’re alright then,” James driver laughed “No, look at my paintwork!” he moaned, “I’m filthy, and stuck in a field. What would my public say?” “At least we stopped.” Henry remarked. “No thanks to you,” muttered James under his breath and then more loudly, “What were you thinking?” “I wanted to pay you out for all your teasing,” Henry replied, “But I didn't mean for this to happen. I thought we could stop it. Maybe I was wrong.” “But I guess I was wrong too, I thinking I could stop the train!” James puffed, now more apologetic, “I now see why it’s so important.” “I’m glad,” Henry chuckled, “But now, how will we get out of this mess?”

Terence the Tractor, Butch and some workmen arrived. Butch and Terence pulled the two engines out of the earth bank, and then along a field to where workmen had laid down temporary rails, and, pulled by Terence and Butch, the engines set off, over fields until they reached Farmer McColls Farm. Here, the Breakdown Train lifted them back onto the rails. The Fat Controller arrived, he was not happy “Henry and James, you have caused confusion and delay!” he boomed, “I hope you have learnt your lessons!” “Yes sir,” the engines puffed, sadly.

Now the engines were firmly on the rails, but they still couldn't move. Donald and Douglas took them to the Sodor Steamworks. Once there, Victor made sure they were ship shape and shiny as the workmen worked on their wheels and boilers. Soon, the engines were ready to work again, and they set off to collect some more trucks. “You go at the front Henry,” James said, “I now know how important it is to control the train.” “Thank you, James” Henry replied “I've learnt something too!” “What's that?” James asked “You have a bad memory!” He laughed. “Oh!” James shouted “Ha ha, I'm only joking, James.” “I hope so.” James said in a disgusted voice. He steamed away, as snooty as ever, leaving Henry chuckling to himself. “Oh James, he'll never grow out of that attitude. But least he's a really useful engine!” James reversed onto the train, and Henry then buffered up in front. The two engines puffed away, James behind, Henry in front.

As they engines steamed into Maron, they had to wait at a signal. Just then, a little boy called out. “Dad, why is Henry pulling a very weird shipping crate behind him?” James went bright red, and Henry just laughed. “I told you so!” he said.
