Every REJECTED Character For CGI Thomas

In my opinion Murdoch, Arthur, Molly, Neville, Freddie, and Madge, should have returned

I would love to see Bulgy and George interact since they both hate railways. What a convo they’ll be

Seeing Smudger again would've been wild. And hopefully would've given closure to my younger self's trauma of seeing him turned into a generator.

I really wish Splatter and Dodge would come back. They're 2 of my favorite characters ever. It's such a shame they only appeared in the magic railroad.

Freddie was unfortunately dropped for BMM. He along with Duncan was dropped in BMM, but unlike Duncan he didn’t make it into the series.

I would've liked to see Fergus return in CGI. He does fit the profile for a 'new' character - he's tied to a specific location (the cement works), he has dynamics with characters like Bill and Ben, Diesel etc, he has a prominent catchphrase (Do it right), and he has a unique personality and attribute in the form of his flywheel. He could've easily worked in the Brenner era around S17-19, since those seasons had a lot of focus on the quarries and clay pits on Sodor.

One character I would have loved to have seen is Old Slow Coach. It’s such a shame the show never did anything with her outside of one short appearance after her debut episode. I feel like she could have been a very nurturing mother-type character for Thomas or Percy.

I will never get over the fact they mixed up "Paxman" with "Paxton" (assuming the story is true, of course), when the show also contains two completely separate characters named Oliver, and they even confront that topic at the end of "Legend of the Lost Treasure".

Forgot to say this the other day, this is whom I'd have loved to see return in CGI, Mighty Mac Considering how the show veered towards a 'Comedic Saturday morning cartoon' vibe, Mighty Mac wouldve fit in just perfectly. That and well, he(they?) were underused despite how unique the character was

The thing about Arthur is, they were comparing Ryan’s red colour to Arthur’s, they weren’t saying he couldn’t be red because of Arthur

Fun fact: Dennis was so lazy Sir Topham Hatt sent him out of the island. And he missed Sodor. So, he changed his identity and name, and got repainted and removed his number. He came back to sodor as Norman.

I would have LOVED for Molly to reappear, perhaps taking Rebecca's role and being explained as absent by working on a branchline we never saw like the Kirk Ronan line. If she took the express in Gordon's place with no narration after he derails or bursts a valve in the yard and wouldn't be seen FULLY on screen until she stopped at Vicarstown, I would be very pleased! (dont take my idea as I'm incorperating it into my BWBA Rewrite)

If they kept going with CGI instead of rebooting Thomas, they would halve come back.

I would have loved to seen characters like Boco, Duke, Splatter and Dodge, Arthur and Freddie appear in CGI as are some of my favorites. Although it is sad when I think about characters that weren't considered for CGI like Murdoch, Mighty Mac, Molly, Neville, Madge, and Flora there's also potential there. Either way great video Adam and keep up the good work.

If Hank returned in CGI, Andrew Brenner could have create a episode around him and Philip since their basis came from Pennsylvania.

I would have liked to see Stepney, Arthur, BoCo, Bear and the Culdee Fell Railway Engines return in the CGI Series. I bet that Fergus also was considered to return since Sam Wilkinson expressed interest in him being reintroduced to the CGI Series in a 2015 Interview. I would have also loved to see Molly and Neville return to the CGI serries during the Nitrogen Era (Series 13-16).

Neville. Several reasons: 1. He has CGI face (S12). 2. He’s my favorite character in the franchise, ever. 3. I would love to see an episode (preferrably Brenner or BWBA era) with the other Bulleid characters (Dennis/Norman, and Rebecca) 4. He was often overlooked, both in the franchise and in real life 5. He has so much potential for a unique character development 6. I would love to see him in The Great Race competing in the shunting competition and won respect and admiration from other engines. A true redeeming moment for him.

In my opinion I think Bear could have been back in CGI as well as Neville, Murdoch, the big city engine from the railway series and so on.

If BoCo was to appear in the cgi series, they should totally make him similar to Hercules from Tugs.

19:00 Funnily enough, the bulstrode picture is literally just one the season 8 ruler pictures of him.
