Thomas and Molly are my two favorite characters on the whole show, and I believe they make a good pairing. I am also a fan of both Duck and Emily, and I believe they should both be in the Steam Team, with Donald, Douglas, and Oliver! I feel happy that the series is going CGI, despite their unrealistic plotlines. I also collect Trackmaster, Take-Along, and ERTL trains (so hard to find), and I'm hoping to get Bandai trains too! My favorite narrators are Ringo Starr (love the Beatles), George Carlin (RIP) and Michael Brandon. My top favorite movies are Hero of the Rails and Thomas and the Magic Railroad, and I'm excited for the World War II movie.

My ongoing DeviantArt Thomas/crossover series, currently running.
Untitled Thomas Parody
A possible Thomas parody series, inspired from the Mad Bomber series on YouTube and SonicToadThomas' "Tales of a Railway".
Thomas: The star of the show. Cheeky, adventurous and brave, Thomas is willing to be helpful to all his friends. Has a normal English accent.
John: One of the older engines. John has years of experience on the railway and good friends with old Ernie. Has a normal English accent.

Stacey: The diesel who works at the quarry. Stacey is hard-working and honest, and has a slight crush on Patrick. Has a normal English accent.
Newton and Galileo: English (Newton) and Italian (Galileo) brothers. Newton is perky and cheeky, and is a hard-working member of the railway, mainly to Michael's lazy behavior. Galileo is a serious, diligent, hard worker. The only way to tell Newton and Galileo apart is Galileo's beard and walrus mustache. Newton is English and Galileo is Italian.
Captain Jack: The dockyard diesel. Jack enjoys working with the trucks and likes to tell the engines stories of the seas. Has a thick pirate accent.
Steve and Nigel: Twin brother tank engines. Steve is more cheeky and wild than Nigel and likes to play jokes. Nigel is more calm and quiet than Steve and prefers to work. Both have high English accents.
Albert: A nasty 08 from England. Albert has a terrible past he doesn't like talking about, and has a scar on his face from a terrible accident. Has a devious English accent.
Andrew: The railway's only pannier tank. Andrew is a loyal, wise, hard worker, and he will not stand any nonsense from the others. Has a mild Western accent.
Ryan: Andrew's closest friend. Ryan is a bit rough and cocky, but he is kind and caring of his friends too. Has a mild Western accent.
Bartholomew: One of England's diesels. Bartholomew is a boastful diesel, and he enjoys teasing the steam engines on the railway. Has a moderate English accent.
Martin: A visitor from another railway in Scotland. Martin is a cheerful, optimistic engine and is very cautious when it comes to new engines. Has a moderate Scottish accent.

Richard: The strongest engine of the railway. Richard is proud, strong and quiet, and he doesn't like to talk much. Has a thick Scottish accent.
Horace and Jasper: Two scrapyard diesels on the other railway. Horace is more loud and aggressive, and Jasper is more dim and forgetful. Both have English accents.

Ted the tractor: An old orange tractor. Ted works on Thomas' branchline in his field and enjoys telling stories. Has a normal English accent.
Ivan the crane: A silent, Russian crane at the docks. Ivan was imported from Russia during the Second World War and because of that, he has lost his voice. He had a Russian accent, but is now mute.
The Manager: The controller of the railway. The manager loves his engines very much like a family, and is firm and fair. Has an English accent.
A stop-motion series based on my model projects (see below for what I've done). It is Railway Series/TV series hybrid, as characters from the TV series appear.
1. Gordon and the Olton Hall - Olton Hall comes to Sodor for the premiere of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on Sodor, and Gordon, jealous, challenges him to a race from Vicarstown to Tidmouth, with disastrous results... Set in 2001.
2. 199 and the Mail Train - Diesel 199 returns to Sodor to take the mail train to the other railway, and he is not very happy about it. Meanwhile, Diesel wants to crash the mail train as a prank to a steam engine, but reckons without 199 with the mail train... Set between Enterprising Engines and James and the Diesel Engines, around 1976.
3. Daisy Knows Best - Thomas is at the Steamworks for repairs, and Percy is to do Thomas' work. Daisy shows off to Percy how she can manage with ease, but what if there's broken track ahead? Set after Stepney the "Bluebell" Engine, around 1964.
4. Douglas' Passengers - Donald and Douglas switch their goods work for Duck and Oliver's passenger duties, but not everyone agrees on the idea. What could go wrong, especially when confusion and delay ensures? Set after Duke the Lost Engine, about 1971.
5. Thomas and Bluebell Help Out - Bluebell comes to Sodor and meets the Sodor engines for the first time, and is happy to meet with Thomas, but anything can go wrong in foggy weather and a minor mix-up. Set during Thomas and His Friends, between Buffer Bashing and Centenary, around April 2011.
6. Boiler Ache - Edward has been feeling very unwell, but Bill and Ben think he's making it up. But BoCo sees Edward is telling the truth when Edward starts wheeshing steam badly. Is Edward headed for the scrap heap, or will Bill and Ben see the error of their ways?. Set between Main Line Engines and James and the Diesel Engines, around late 1979.
7. Wilbert's Heavy Train - Thomas is called away to help for a couple of days on Edward's branchline, meaning Wilbert has to do Percy's and Thomas' work at the same time. Anything can go wrong, as Wilbert finds out when slips on the hill taking a mixed train to Ffarquhar. Set during Wilbert the Forest Engine and between Foaming at the Funnel and Wired Up.
8. James Does it All - James is determined to take a passenger train and a goods train at the same time, and he denies Henry and Bear's help, but he later regrets it when he struggles at Gordon's Hill. Can Henry and Bear help James, or will the vain red engine be stuck? Set after Henry and the Express.
9. Thomas and the Brake Coach - Thomas is still teased for forgetting the coaches, and Gordon says the best engines remember their trains. However, Gordon eats his words when the brake coach is uncoupled, and only Thomas can fetch it. Set during Thomas the Tank Engine, between Thomas' Train and Thomas and the Trucks. COMPLETED
10. Thomas and Edward - Thomas is transferred to Wellsworth to learn how to deal with trucks after his incident. Meanwhile, the Fat Director orders a new engine named James. Basically the ending bit of Thomas and the Trucks, and Thomas and the Breakdown Train taken from another angle.
11. Stuck in the Tunnel Again - Henry dreadfully remembered when he was shut up in the tunnel for being silly, and is not feeling well when he takes a goods to the other railway, and he derails in his tunnel due to silly boys leaving stones on the rails. Set in 2008, after the events of Thomas and Victoria.
Story 1. Sandra - The Fat Director orders for a SR Z Class tank engine to help while James is being overhauled, but Sandra has an attitude problem against the other engines and has a flaming temper...
Story 2. Banging Trucks and Coaches - The trucks and coaches take dislike to Sandra when she bangs them roughly, and things don't improve when Sandra takes a passenger train.
Story 3. Fire in the Sheds - Sandra is sent to the sheds until her temper cools down, but nothing improves when she accidentally ignites fuel wagons at Vicarstown Sheds is set on fire and a rather sick Henry is in danger!
Story 4. James' New Paint - The Fat Director/Controller says that when Jame is back in service, Sandra will not return to Sodor. Sandra is still angrier yet when during James' tests, she bangs a flatbed of red paint cans.
