Today marks 40 years of Thomas the Tank Engine and friends how it all started in 1984 October 9 it's when it got bigger and air on tv. I can remember watching the show as a kid it was season 5 Make Someone Happy on VHS and later on Seasons 1-7 I was around 2-7 years old at that time and watch later seasons and specials as a kid. Later on I would still watch Thomas but gotten older and later to my teenage years and adult years. Still to this very day I watch thomas and share it to my nieces and nephews and still enjoy it.
Thomas holds a special place in my heart mainly the stories that wilbert awdry had written to his son and would go on for generation and generation. I enjoy the content that other thomas creators do with the series either on model or Trainz simulation and I would try it out on Trainz and sometimes I would try and write thomas stories either as a kid or teenager. I remember playing with the toys, whether Tomy Wooden Railway or Take along, and still have them. Before I would reimagine them and play with the toys and I want to shared with you all of what I've kept with me.
These are the survivor vhs and DVDs I have and some of them are on DVD. I got Thomas and the Magic Railroad and great discovery that one is among my favorite and TATMRR I use to watch it in kindergarten and have fund memories.
I have this photo of Bachmann thomas model and haven't even bothered to try it out since 2014/15 and maybe stop working. I try out the model back in 2011 and it was a fun experience as a kid.
Down below is Trainz rws Thomas from Wildnorwester and wanted to try out Trainz on a computer device one day I'll get one.
I'm sure we all have our own stories of Thomas and how the franchise is going through but what I want to say is that children's media should be cherished and learned and what David britt and wilbert did before and back they didn't sugar code it they care and why it's important for us and the next generation to care for as seen by a butterfly effect and they wrote stories to entertain us and world build the story around Thomas and friends wilbert who said this before. "You got to remember who your writing for. You're not merely writing for children you're writing for the unfortunate people who've got to read the stories over and over and over again" Wilbert will always be an inspiration of mine and the books will always be something I'll never forget about.
The fandom I am happy with and seeing how we've been part of and grown even meet in person and go to heritage railways which is a wish I want to make and perhaps one day go to.
Thank you Wilbert David Christopher and Britt for these stories you created and adapted into. These episodes always help me before when I was sick or having a hard time.
Thank you Thomas for being my friend.
Happy 40th Anniversary to Thomas and friends.
