I’ve had an idea for a nightmare Thomas sequence for a while and TADC episode 8 (specifically Pomni’s nightmare sequence) gave me an idea so here we are.

Percy pulling a train but he calls the trucks Chat
"Chat, can you push me past the board?"
"Chat is this a backing signal?"
"okay chat tell me when to stop"
"CHAT!!"

Digital artwork of the Thomas & Friends Color Changers Diesel toy with his iconic sickly green face and weird expression. Doodles include Sick Diesel standing around, fallen on his side, staring at the camera head-on, watching a butterfly (the same one that's printed on the side of the toy), and sleeping in his shed while dreaming about going to the Hospital. The doodles are on a green background with simple doodles of stars, hearts, swirls, diamonds, a hospital, a butterfly, and Sick Diesel's weird face in the margins

Illustration of Duck and Oliver - both in the GWR's dark green livery - at Haultraugh Station with their respective autocoaches, from the book "Enterprising Engines" in The Railway Series
There is hope yet for Duck and Oliver being in a darker, more 'Great Western' shade of green
Thomas & Friends 2026 die-cast of Toad the brake van
GWR Diagram AA23 'Toad' brake van No. 950592 in the GWR's standard goods stock livery
Something interesting I haven't seen many people bring up about the new die-cast Toad is that the bluish-grey colour they've changed him to is seemingly based directly on the GWR's standard goods stock livery, rather than the BR-ish grey colour the TVS went with
My fav Thomas characters, Abel and Caine <3
Tobias and the Sentinels-themed Valentine's Day card The background is the shot of the second Warshire Reset, with blue electricity intertwining with the flames produced by the Designers' Machine Text in the centre of the card reads: "OLIVER is red, TOBIAS is blue, I promise to always, be there for YOU"; there is an image of Henrietta in her motorised form (with the added traction motors on her axles) underneath The text for "OLIVER" is coloured red, "TOBIAS" is coloured blue, "I" is coloured orange (for Henrietta), and "YOU" is coloured brown (for Toby)
Oh crap I forgot to post this on here yesterday like I meant to uhhh
Panel 1: Flynn (CGI series) is in a hospital bed, Harold (also CGI series) leans over him and says "good luck" Panel 2: 3 hours later, Flynn (now in his 2026 series design) is still in the hospital bed; a doctor says "your chud energy reduction was a success!" Panel 3: Flynn sits up and says "where is Harold?", the doctor responds "who do you think took your chud energy?" Panel 4: Harold (2026 series design) lies asleep in another hospital bed, Flynn cries "NOO!!" leaning over him
They made Flynn better, but at what cost?
The infamous "Vote Leave Bus" with Bulgy's face (stylised with new eyes to resemble the 2026 Thomas & Friends series designs) and license plate
You know I gotta give the people behind the 2026 series credit, their redesign for Bulgy is a great way of updating his "telling whoppers until no-one believes his destination boards" schtick for a contemporary audience
I mean he looks way nicer now so... yeah I'd say so tbh

Thomas & Friends™: Wonders of Sodor - Coming Soon!
A brand new game from Dovetail Games, the developers of Train Sim World, has just been announced - and we've helped out!
The Reverend Wilbert Awdry had a 3D Relief Map of the Island of Sodor made in 1950...
Thomas the Elephant with the face from the 2026 series version of Thomas
"I can make him better" yeah well I can make him worse
Here are the facts
The new box art does not match the photo bashing of the Pixar Cars line (which I believe is already outsourced to begin with)
There is a consistent filter applied to all the new Thomas product. But discrepancies seem to come from what base render is applied
* ( TTTE )
* go enjoy some yuri. this isn't a thomas post i just think thomas fans need to go enjoy some yuri instead of doing whatever the hell we seem to be doing on the other platform.
* no i don't mean "GO GET OTHER INTERESTS!!!" i just mean you need some enrichment and sweetness.

Jones reads Ivor a very familiar story
he's a bit of a machine with that thing....

As someone who had asthma as a kid this was actually how I saw it at a young age
i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results
that human element elevates the work
Legit I think if you took a CGI series character model, retextured it to match the changes from the toys (new colours or livery changes, drop shadow on the numbers, etc.) and replaced the face with a new one, you could get a pretty good idea of what the designs will look like in practise
Metal Collection 2026 Gordon
Motorized 2026 Gordon
Based on the toys, I'm guessing the 2026 series will reuse the existing CGI series character models but with new faces and textures to give them a fresh look (and the sets likely rebuilt from the ground-up using the existing assets like Arc had to do after taking over from Nitrogen)
