AMEN. I say Thomas died after season 3 and was scrapped into a Heinz baked bean tin. Season 1-2 were everything. Season 3 Expands the Cast a bit... I mean we have to Love the little engines.... but the modern series were awful. I know the episodes near by heart. Long live Thomas. P.s I have a book signed by the rev himself. The hard back book, SODOR, the island, people and its railways.
