The Adventures Of Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends is my idea for an all new Thomas TV series which, in my mind, would be a continuation of the classic model series from its seventh series (or season, whatever floats your boat). It would be like series twelve of the Hit model era (except, you know, actually watchable) in that the engines (as well as all of the sets) would be models but would have CGI faces and their own individual voice actors. The human characters however, would all be played by live actors This is my casting of all the characters (from series one through eleven) that I would like to feature in the series. But If any of you would like to add any characters yourselves, by all means, be my guest! One more thing to note is that I'm completely open to people making their own, alternative casting suggestions for any of the characters I have listed. In fact, I'd like to encourage that
