He was a really useful engine, we knew...

Yes, that is an OFFICIAL image of the reboot's style

If the storylines are good, the animation would be forgivable but with Mattel in charge, we all know that good storylines, if they happen at all, will be very few and far between

The best episodes of BWBA were those written by Michael White-an actual fan of the show.

There is no way in hell that they will adapt Railway Series stories ever again, so thoes stories will remain pure and untouched by this shit

Mattel can take a long walk down a short pier in concrete boots

They need to put the property to rest, for at least a decade, and then relaunch it with a new showrunner and production team.

And to spearhead this reboot? Lauren Faust.

The REAL Thomas is safe.

It is.

Fanfiction?

That, fan stories, the Railway Series, ORIGINAL episodes, fan art, and so much more will keep the REAL Thomas alive and safe long after the show ends.

Ya know what? I'm 100% okay with that

[The Blue EM2]

Indeed it will.

That reboot may feature a blue Tank Engine named Thomas, but that is NOT the real Thomas, and never will be

I would also revert to model sets and stories based on railway history. The characters would still have individual voices, but would speak with accents appropriate to the region.

For instance, John Bellis would voice Thomas.

I know. That thing looks like the bastard child of an LMS 'Jinty' and a B12!

Some people are saying this is fake and made by the website that shared the story originally.
The problem with that is the copyright info in the bottom left corner, and the TM on the Thomas logo

Sadly, yes
