Here's my long-awaited "honest thoughts" video on the dropped characters in both Thomas and Friends and the Railway Series. I hope you enjoy!!!

If there's anything I could've done better or elaborated on more, then let me know too!

Plus, I'm not going to promise this right now, but I'll try to make a few more brand-new videos sometime this month because I need to be more active on my YouTube channel, especially after re-editing and reuploading a couple old videos.

Oh, and the images I've borrowed for this video automatically fall under fair use. So, if Robert Gauld-Galliers is watching this, please don't copyright claim me or strike me because copyright infringement is NOT my intent!

  • My honest thoughts on the cut characters • Nigel - I've not really had much depth for him to appear in the TV series, but I'll probably have him replace Madge if he were to be televised whilst Madge could take Owen's Place. • Little Giant - Bit of an unusual name, but I could sort of see him in the TV series because I don't want Mighty Mac to be the only Conjoined Narrow Gauge Engine in the TV series. • The Austerity Engine - Same reasons with Nigel. • Barry - Since he was a "Rescue Engine" I'm thinking he would make a really natural addition to the Sodor Search and Rescue Team. • The Double Decker Trams - They would have been interesting to see, but they could probably introduce Tracy from the Thomas' AVL into the CGI series as well.

    Did you know that Austerity engine and Barry had fan made episodes all about them made by wildnorwester?
  • @Silverlink28
    Hooray, Trevor knows correct title grammar unlike basically all the Internet
  • @dylanlyles9453
    I definitely agree with you, Trevor! I think some of these characters would fit well in the Thomas series! Mostly Barry and the Austerity Tank Engine! And definitely P.T. Boomer, I know some fans don't agree with that, but they don't understand that Boomer CAN be useful as Diesel 10's owner/driver!
  • Woah, this is one interesting video to watch. I always love to hear about scrapped characters, ideas etc. in media. It's just fun to think what could have been.
  • @ALCO-C855-fan
    Barry is now a TTTE fanfiction character so technically he made it, but not how intended.
  • Cool video Trevor! I think all these scraped characters would make a great addition to the show.
  • @missmanxee
    Hey Trevor great topic for this video and really interesting looking at some of these upcoming characters that were dropped from the show for different reasons thanks for sharing this and hope you have a nice weekend 👍💙🚂
  • @Thomasboi01
    Great job with the video Trevor! My personal favorite cancelled character from Thomas and Friends is Little Giant it would have been great to see them in season 6 with the other narrow gauge engines but Mighty Mac is still cool! 😎
  • Well for Barry, Nigel and Little Giant if Wilbert Audrey created them then (unless they still would've been canceled) they would've been railway series classics (unless they get forgotten).
  • I did not know about this until now but these Cut Characters have a lot of Potential especially Barry the Rescue Engine.
  • Great video as usual. Barry working with Arthur is a genius idea! I'm gonna have to add Barry to the list of many characters I want Arthur to interact with, which also includes the likes of Henry, Duck, Oliver, Murdoch etc. As for Nigel, I do agree that it would've been nice to see him, though I like to think that the reason we don't see him is because he retired from the Pack shortly before Jack arrived, but still does odd jobs around the island.
  • @BellHillMayor
    Little Giant interests me the most, shame that character was scrapped and cut out from the TV series :(
  • @garyennis9757
    Wow! I had no idea that Bwabua was originally gonna be a different movie!
  • My thoughts: Nigel: I don't think he was replaced by Nelson. I think he was cut to accommodate Thomas and Percy since they're constantly shown carrying Jack and Alfie. Little Giant: I think they're great for a RWS-esque headcanon with alongside Ivo Hugh in place of Freddie and Mighty Mac. Barry: I do prefer him as a BR Standard Class 2 tender loco like he was originally believed to be. Austerity engine: Idk about the engine being Sixteen, mainly because I prefer the engine as a girl. Vicarstown Tram engines: Idk what to think.

    I would've loved to see these characters in Season 25 of the CGI series! It's too bad it got canceled in favor of the crappy reboot.
