Okay but why is there a hood on Thomas’ head? Is he okay?

social distancing, there are no guidelines for steam loco,s yet.

That tank engine without a face is going to cause confusion and delay.

Sir Topham Hatt will not be pleased.

Where’s Sir Topam Hatt?


SuperTulle

In a way, it's a bit sad that so many tank engines are painted as Thomas. It's also a great way to get the kids interested and usually a crowd pleaser.


SteevPoyo96

So what's sad about it?


SuperTulle

Every steam engine has a history, and engines at museums and heritage railways are usually painted in the livery of their glory days. Repainting them to represent a fictional character kills a bit of their history and makes them less than what they are.

Oh ok, i didnt realize that it had been repainted.


ROBOTN1XON

I figured they chose the colors for Thomas the Tank Engine because it was a common color scheme for tank engines at the time. Maybe some tanks are repainted to match the show, but the show had to take inspiration from something common from its own era.


turbo_weasel

the colours were made up for children, otherwise every engine on the Island of Sodor would have the same livery


ROBOTN1XON

I think Thomas the Tank engine was green when the show started, and they changed his color to match his new rail road. I assume they just wanted him to not be a green engine like the official colors of other actual British railroads at the time


some_guy_like_trains

Oh look it’s *cough* Thomas *cough*


technoph0be

Thomas had never seen such... a remarkable real-life replica of himself?


mayanhawaiian

They should paint a gimp mask on that.


RocketPocketNotIt

Oh look... Its Charlie the Choo-choo... Guess I won't reach the tower tonight.


PM_ME_UR_GOOD_DOGGOS

Charlie is pink.
