About me
Well I am American and have been a big fan of the Thomas franchise and collect some of the merchandise models. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only true blue Thomas fan because no matter where the show goes with HiT, I am proud to be a fan.

Behold I am the TRUE Smudger! Built along with my triplet brothers Rheneas and Dolgoch. Wobbly wheels made me a generator on MSR. But after it's closing, an American gave me a second chance and became an engine once more and worked at a coal mine in central Illinois. After it's closing my owner thought it best to take me back to Sodor to finally meet my brother.

CGI eh?
During my reintroduction back to the series, I watched a video called "Little Engines Party" featuring footage of the narrow gauge engines in season 12. At first I was like "Rubbish!". Now I am quite happy with the change and don't really care for the poor story lines. It's fun for the children and I think HiT is doing fine.

CHUGGINGTON?!
Chuggington is a big rip off of TTTE&F. Here are reasons to hate it:
 * They drive themselves without a driver
 * The way their faces aren't very appealing as the face masks of TTTE&F.
 * The guy based off of Mallard has no tender and his eyes are on his buffers; good luck biffing and bashing!
 * THEY BOUNCE!!! (extremely unrealistic)
 * British Steamies beat American Diesels any day
 * Their railroads are just huge chunks of metal and not to rail strips laid on sleepers and ballast
 * Um... a double decker roundhouse?!
 * Uncreative theme song
 * Diesels don't chug.

Other Interests

 * Playing video games, preferably Nintendo and Sega.
 * Playing the tuba, guitar, or piano (a little).
 * Watching TV, usually shows with foul language.
