I’m just your average Canadian wolf. I’m a siren enthusiast and railfan as my main hobbies. I run the Civil Defense Sirens Wiki, and am working on restoring a few vintage sirens (such as a FS&S Model L and a rare Sterling Siren MOD. F) as well as a 1970s Safetran mechanical crossing bell.

Steam locomotives are still used on tourist and heritage railways, just not in revenue service anymore. (An exception being a single railway in Bosnia that still uses WW2-era German steam locomotives.)
It’s no different in Southern Ontario where I live. Saw a semi truck plow into one, it really wasn’t pretty. Another left a huge dent on my mom’s car when she hit one driving at night.
The Lost Levels on Deluxe is a special kind of hell.
How many accounts are you going to make? This is like, the sixth one, Yanks.

A lot of people not familiar with Thomas also don’t realize Henry is let out of the tunnel in the following episode of the TV series. Many people think Henry really was bricked up for always, and always, and always. But the truth is that it was to teach Henry a lesson for letting his vanity cause significant problems for the entire island.
To expand on that point, Sir Topham Hatt isn’t being cruel (though as you mentioned he’s not exactly being nice either), he’s punishing an engine for jeopardizing the entire railway and putting the livelihoods of all of the other engines and employees at risk. The main line is critical for the railway’s operation, as without it, there’s no Express, no access to branch lines, and no way to deliver goods and passengers. Without a railway, they’d be out of a job and possibly scrapped, a fate that most engines outside of Sodor meet. And in addition to that, the island of Sodor is heavily reliant on the railway to function and is a major employer in the region. The railway going under would cause economic havok for the whole island. Topham knows this and had to take drastic measures to teach Henry the error of his ways.
I’ll vote with my wallet by not buying from companies with ties to the Chinese government, thank you very much.
Yeah, I was worried about it too. I’ve become pretty cynical when it comes to everything becoming enshittified, but I’m hoping they stick to their word.
Not sure who downvoted you, you literally quoted the article.
You could easily just skip ahead in the videos.
No, it did split in half. It just didn’t reach such a steep angle before it did. There’s two great videos by Oceanliner Designs that go in-depth on what the movie got wrong, as well as what likely actually happened during the breakup.

There also a video that goes more indepth on what the movies got wrong in general.
O RLY?
I watch Hyce all the time! Glad to see another fan of him on here. Thank you for the vids you sent.
