Product Information

Brave | Day and Night | Party Time | Pride | Every Day's a Special Day on Sodor | Buffer Up and Share | Togetherness Toby is based on a GER Class C53 0-6-0T Wisbech steam tram (reclassified as J70 by the LNER) built at Stratford Works. They were seen by the Rev. W. Awdry and Christopher Awdry on a holiday at Yarmouth, hence Toby's origins. Season 22, the start of the Big World! Big Adventures! Series, has another one. Tim Bain, the writer for the Australia-themed episodes of the series and several YouTube shorts, voices Aiden, one of the Australian twin coaches. Temporarily, he took over Stephen's job while he was at the Steamworks, but was ridiculed by his passengers. He later changed their minds when he stopped the theft of King Godred's crown.

Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: Double Teething Troubles featured a BR Class 17 "Clayton" diesel which, as in real life, suffered from having insufficient engines crammed into a compact space. While originally named "Paxman" after the contained engines, the producers decided the company might not take so kindly to the reference. He went unnamed in the episode, but the merchandise now calls him "Derek." Captain Obvious: The narration and learning segments in season 8-16 constantly state the obvious. Take this choice quote from a Calling All Engines learning segment: "And bananas are no good for building sheds!" Further supporting characters from The Railway Series have never been introduced due to the transition to mostly original material after Series 4. That is, until Season 20 where the Arlesdale Railway is introduced, and three stories in the Small Railway Engines book are adapted! The UK narrations of the earlier episodes were replaced with more child-friendly versions for the US. One example includes "The Sad Story of Henry" which was retitled "Come Out, Henry!". In that episode, some lines were changed in the latter part of the episode. The line "We shall leave you here for always and always and always" was replaced with "we shall leave you here until you are ready to come out of the tunnel". Second, the line "so that Henry couldn't get out of the tunnel anymore" was changed to "so that other engines wouldn't bump into him". And lastly, the UK narration where the narrator stated that Henry deserved his punishment and asks if the audience agrees with him was replaced with the US narration where the narrator asks the audience how long do they think Henry will learn to overcome his fear of the rain.

The earlier storylines, like "Saved From Scrap," implied, but did not show, that characters could be scrapped when they could no longer work. Later, however, some of the books/episodes, like "Stepney the Bluebell Engine" and "Twin Engines" got absolutely vicious with this concept, after the Reverend decided to do a Take That! against BR's Modernization Plan. The way the mass scrapping is portrayed, especially in the books, sometimes goes beyond Fantastic Racism and implies that the characters think of it more like genocide. In the foreword for "Stepney the Bluebell Engine", though, Awdry sets the record straight regarding Percy's opinions that BR officials are cruel and take sadistic pleasure in scrapping steam locomotives, stating that they are not, and that they willingly assist in the preservation movement. An episode of Thomas Creator Collective directly criticizes the infamous bridge jump scene in The Great Race Toby and the Stout Gentleman, Thomas in Trouble, James and the Tar Wagons, Thomas, Percy and the Coal, Cows, Percy and Harold ( mentioned), The Runaway ( mentioned), Ghost Train, Woolly Bear, Thomas Comes to Breakfast, Daisy, Percy's Predicament and The Missing Christmas Tree ( mentioned)

After switching to Arc Productions from the seventeenth season on, the colors are more dull but the animation is much smoother, complete with new camera angles, very clever scene transitions, and a wider range of facial expressions. Sometimes You Make a Friend" from Big World! Big Adventures!, as Thomas realizes he's been obnoxious and rude to Nia thanks to Ace's Toxic Friend Influence, and wishes to apologize. I'm Thomas the Tank Engine | Thomas' Christmas Song | The Official BBC Children in Need Medley | Kids for Character | Courage | Teamwork | Problem Solving | Responsibility | He's So Brave | Friendship | A Thomas Birthday Wish | A Sodor Summertime | Watch Out, Thomas!Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Episodes occasionally forgo railway realism for the sake of telling a story. One example is "Luke's New Friend". A railway is no place for animals, much less a deer, but Luke befriending the deer works for his character development. Spencer is a streamlined silver engine that is strong, fast, and is owned by the Duke and Duchess of Boxford. This causes Gordon to form a rivalry with him. Toby's bell from the second to third series was later heard in Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure after Ryan stops the pirate ship during the wide shot of Arlesburgh Harbour. It was also used in the movie Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo. Thomas & Friends, formerly known as Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends, is a British TV series first broadcast in 1984 and concluding in 2021. It began life as The Railway Series, a series of picture books about a group of talking steam engines living on the otherwise relatively-realistic Island of Sodor and the adventures they have under the guardianship of the railway supervisor Fat Controller (Sir Topham Hatt). The books were originally written by the Reverend Wilbert Awdry, an English clergyman and railway enthusiast, from the 1940s to the early 1970s; his son Christopher later took on the job from the 1980s until his retirement in 2011. There is also a widely-available series of books based on TV episodes. Oliver experiences this after positive remarks about escaping from scrap from Gordon, James, and Henry.

Rachael Louise Miller voices Rebecca, a new member of the main cast. Her previous voice acting role also involved voicing a notable main character of said series. Both series in question are also from HIT Entertainment.Two from The Great Race: "Will You Won't You" as the engines plead to go to the Great Railway Show, and "Streamlining" as Thomas wishes he were streamlined. Animation Bump: The characters' facial expressions have gotten much more fluid and exaggerated as the series progressed. The animation is also noticeably faster since Big World! Big Adventures!. Sir Topham Hatt I †| Sir Charles Topham Hatt II †| Sir Stephen Topham Hatt III | Albert Regaby †| Kevin Volley † According to Mike O'Donnell in an interview, he stated that the sound of Toby's bell was made by an old pub bell which was being replaced.

In "Diesel's Ghostly Christmas", Paxton soliloquys saying that he must be good at pretending after Diesel says there's no such thing as ghosts. Incompetence, Inc.: With all of the crashes and runaways on Sodor, how does the railway stay in business? The logging company on Misty Island, too, which probably makes absolutely no profit since cranes keep throwing logs into the river. According to an interview with Mike O'Donnell, Toby's theme was used as a demo for the television series' opening theme. Bad "Bad Acting": In Who's Geoffrey?, Thomas puts on a falsetto voice, pretending he's another engine. The Fat Controller is convinced, however. Getting the Baby to Sleep: In the episode, "Thomas the Babysitter", Thomas has to deal with a baby on his train, who cries every time the train comes to a stop, but calms down and goes to sleep every time the train moves. This initially gives Thomas the idea not to stop at all, but Annie and Clarabel are horrified at this, reminding him that he has to stop at every signal and crossing gate so all of his passengers will be safe. Towards the end of the episode, Thomas talks to Sir Topham Hatt about a request to miss his break to make a journey without stopping, which Sir Topham Hatt finds a wonderful idea. This journey gives both the baby and his mother some much-needed sleep. At the end of the episode, Albert, one of the workmen, congratulates Thomas on looking after his wife and son for him, and decides to name his son "Thomas" in honor of that day.

This episode provides examples of:

Harvey's crane, Peter Sam's special funnel, and Sir Handel's wheels all caused them to be bullied by their peers — although Sir Handel's wheels make him egotistical until the events of "Steam Roller".
