@SirWelcome2 ‘Let us explain: like all the diesels on the Other Railway, Old Stuck-Up's horn is partly made from old vaccuum cleaners. It's called economising, kids. Sir Wyatt Fronts swears by it.’

If you’ve read Tales from the Other Railway, prove it by quoting it. I’ll start. “People are always seeing me avoiding work. It's nice of them to praise me for it for a change," and he blasted, "TOOT TOOT! Hail me!"

@shunter_86 Too many times! But I don’t pay much attention to them. At any rate, those I’m closest to also generally understand that there’s more to the show that draws me in, rather than what’s at face value - I mean, the show did help get me interested in real steam locos, after all.

Have you ever been told that you're too old for Thomas?

@Orbonom It would be better if they did it here also. Or at least added one or two more episodes to this release, or even a box set of the full series! In fact, I hope they do the latter - if only for better value for money! (3/3)

Tugs fans, don't buy this. £20 for a DVD (possibly more depending on where you live in the world) containing a single episode and an insert with behind the scenes photos is a complete joke.

@Orbonom I remember when Doctor Who sold DVDs during its 50th anniversary for a price far higher than usual - but even then, it was an advance copy of a then soon-to-be-public in a box set with added extras such as a novel, a sonic screwdriver, and an audio CD among other things. (2/3)

@Orbonom I’m neither here nor there on this matter. On the one hand, it could be a test release - and it is a small mercy that TUGS is being released on DVD at all. But on the other hand, I’d rather pay £20 for more than just a one-episode DVD and a 4-page booklet. (1/3)

@Master0fLemons Only goes to show how much of an absolute TROOPER Gordon can be when he puts his mind to it!

"Are you sure about this, Gordon? Once it's done, there's no going back." "Is Barrow still under fire?" "Yes. It's... It's being bombarded right now." "Then do it already." "You'll be a different engine." "But it will be the same country. And that's all that matters."

@theburiedtruck Mind you, though, I would never go and hate on the guy, just because of it. At the end of the day, it’s only going to cause more drama, and, while ours is a case of what works better in a story, we all have our own opinion - it’s just better given in a constructive sense (3/3).

@theburiedtruck Some people in the past have tried sending me ‘redemption’ ideas for my OC villains, but I just feel that it would be tacked on. With Diesel, it was different, because, as the years went by, he would have matured anyway, and was simply a product of his generation (2/3).

@theburiedtruck Speaking honestly, I feel exactly the same way. I prefer your ending to the ‘alternative’ one, and, let’s face it, some characters work better WITHOUT a redemption story. Awdry wrote his stories based on real-life experiences, and not everyone in real life is redeemable (1/2).

@ThomRobloGaming Emily.

Which tender engine character is your birth month?

@SudderyM Oh, a model! How very delightful!

IM IN LOVE!!!

@HudsonGuy12 @yeenwithgoggles @SillyFunniMinty Yeah, but tbf, Angelis stuck around for longer than Ringo. His narration took a dip from S7-12 because he was getting old, and no longer had the energy that he did in the nineties. With S13-16, he could put more energy in his lines, because he no longer had to do all the VA work.

@yeenwithgoggles @SillyFunniMinty It mostly had consistent narrators while for the UK, Ringo got better and Angelis was like a roller coaster, he went from good (seasons 3-6), to shit (seasons 7-12) and then good again (seasons 13-16)

Dear Friends, It is unfortunate that my previous method of collecting my stories was broken. But I thought for the meantime, until I can collect them all in a singular drive folder, a thread would be best. A new pinned tweet in order. 🧵 -BrightonTerrier

@ZakZStack Hi.

Out of my 1K followers, who will say hi to the ZakMan?

@PennyPercyArt What if… Duke was never discovered? The Romans invaded Sodor? Modernisation took hold of Sodor in full (all steam engines being replaced by diesels)? James was REALLY painted blue? Edward stayed in the shed? Thomas never got his branch line? The NWR was never formed?

@Greeninja9 Watch the next episode, ‘Edward, Gordon and Henry’. Then you’ll see that HENRY ACTUALLY GOT OUT OF THE TUNNEL!

I just found out in an episode of Thomas The Train one of the characters gets depressed and hid in a cave, so they sealed him in there forever as punishment WHAT THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A KIDS SHOW!!!!! AND IS THOMAS THE VILLAIN NOW??? 😭😭😭
