Thomas and the Magic Railroad But Only When Lady Is On Screen

[@crusmonster1397]

My mother took me to the theater to see this (so I’ve been told) when it came out, I had just turned 3. At 24, it still holds a very special place in my heart. I even have one of the Wooden Railway Lady still; she’s my favorite Sodor character behind Thomas. 💙

Now gentlemen I may not be smart but I have an idea, lady is an interdimensional alien kinda like in doctor who's police box it's not what it looks like and lady just takes the form of a steam engine, remove shinning time Station make the magic railroad a gateway between worlds and mr.c is just an ordinary guard that's popular with the engines make diesel 10 a punk with two lackys whom just like to screw around with the engines and make the movie about lady losing her power or something so Thomas chooses to help her.

They should bring Lady back in another Thomas movie.

[@simtonporestudio4427]

Unfortunately, it wouldn't happen because according to model maker Chris Lloyd in his interview with SiF, the reason why Lady was only featured in a dream sequence in Calling All Engines! and was not meant to be seen again in the series was because in the show's continuity, Lady is not real. This could imply that Thomas and the Magic Railroad isn’t canon to the show.

I don't, the Magic element of TATMR was a big reason why it was a box office fail, and why the general public viewed Thomas as nothing more but another stupid kid show because the trains spoke from magic...

[@randomlyentertaining8287]

I had (still have, I think) Magic Railroad on VHS. Well, I had, and watched, a lot of Thomas on VHS (DVDs are alien space magic). I still have pretty much all of them. Little did my preteen self know he was watching an all time classic. I didn't really understand the coal thing when I was young but when I grew up and got into reading about the World Wars, I came to love how Awdry used the fact that Welsh coal is actually a good, clean burning coal and can be told apart from others using the shade of the smoke. I read that you could usually tell if it was a German or British warship by it. Germany had (and has, 6th largest reserve in the world) a lot of coal but in wartime conditions, a lot of it was low quality and/or very dirty when burned.
