Liking things is fucking stupid

"what the hell is this thing"

What was this account for again?

I like the part where he drove the car really fast

@bluesnowplow DM sent

@henryshelpful That's him lol

@PeterSamFunnel You mean this guy?

@aquariusrolo @TalyllynRailway More clearance to push wagons around that tight curve

@TalyllynRailway What happened to Midlander's buffer?!

Rare aesthetic: Building the Nant Gwernol extension 😮‍💨 This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the extension's opening! 📸 TR Collection, David Mitchell #HeartofGold #RailwayAdventure

@killdane1 >600 tons I can never help but laugh whenever 'big' British engines' tonnage ratings are brought up like that's not 6 American freight cars. I know I know different country different needs it's still funny

James was genuinely not built for this, Henry could manage up to 600 tons. I'm assuming they'd just double head if the trains were actually heavy.

@Junctionmalfunk literally every single one of these is an old CGI promo with minor tweaks and the new faces? Don't believe me, overlay the CG promos with these

@PeterSamFunnel They did the same thing with Toby, rofl. x.com/Junctionmalfun…

@Nictrain123 Here's the thing Thinking Wilbert sat Chris down and fed him this info illuminati style one day is fucking dumb. He probably never even wrote any of this down. You sent him front loaded questions you decided on so he could say 'yes' or 'no' So it is your head canon actually

@01Salty1 "mocking my efforts" No stupid we're mocking you

5/ The other matter, questioning whether or not certain characters even need to be named, and once again mocking my efforts, is close-minded and sometimes cruel. I believe that, in-universe, all characters are equal, so should be treated as such irl.

Waking up and seeing the discourse around the recent Chris Awdry video is disheartening and is almost killing my excitement of the reveals. Some people are so PRESSED about the very concept of contacting people in the know and simply asking questions. What's wrong with that? 1/

@Bigcrayolaguy He's SO good at that

@PeterSamFunnel What kind of leader gets killed by a magic space cube?

"What kind of moron keeps his face out in alt mode"

Christmas, 1987: On a quiet suburban street somewhere in England, two kids each get a train set. The die has been cast, and two lifelong enemies are created

@E2forLif He ascended to heaven

A thought that’s constantly lingering in my mind is what the fuck happened to Bertie in the RWS post the 80s. Surely Morden buses came to work on Sodor, so what happened? Did he get scrapped, abandoned, perversed?

@NWRWaffle Apart from the 1 wave 80th toys, the AEG range has been entirely consistent for a half decade.an entire generation of kids that came and went from the target audience with those toys. Idk where the "Constant" change is but imo it's been long enough

@PeterSamFunnel Mattel constantly changing everything is definitely a major flaw but I feel that if they didn't make the 80th toys and just went straight into the 2026 stuff I feel most people wouldn't be so negative about it all. My concern lies moreso with the show cause we know nothing still

Besides magnets the 2026 toy from a design perspective is the best. Fixing issues like the lever which caused issues due to its length on the AEG and “Classic” toys. Plus the middle wheel for the first time ever is an actual wheel. Just sucks the faces are so…controversial.

@LOTTracks @EngineBoyF yeahhhh that's definitely a symptom of tooling these to re-use as many existing parts as possible. I bet that little range was dirt cheap for Mattel to produce

@PeterSamFunnel @EngineBoyF damn so they did allat just for the toys to look mid anyway

A brief account of Thomas toys by Mattel over the past 12 years.

@NWRWaffle That's very valid, and I'm sure that it's going to end up being the main issue people have with this incarnation, but I also think that it's partly because Thomas has been nearly unchanged aesthetically for 40 years that's causing that feeling. Something most toylines can't claim

@PeterSamFunnel I think it's mostly things such as the colored irises or more drastic changes like James or Annie/Clarabel that are throwing people off since Annie & Clarabel never had grey faces and James just doesn't look like James to 99% of people (which I agree with)
