Another reason why Thomas isn't dead, The Sodor Short "What happens to a Non-Faceless engine's face when it dies?" stated that the face disappears, this was confirmed in the SCP's of Sodor episode "A Troublesome Engine" where when Johnny Cuba died his face disappeared, now you could say that Geoffrey and Peter's faces still being there when they died was due to the still having a bit of life left, but were essentially brain-dead. All this plus the points you made and the short "What are your faces made of?" tell us that Thomas isn't dead, but it'll take quite some time to repair/rebuild/overhaul him, so when, not if, WHEN Thomas returns everyone will be informed of the truth and things will return to normal for Sodor with the return of their Number 1.

My Theory on what could happen: As the Men at Barry Isle try to work on Thomas they see that he is damaged beyond repair. Knowing how much of an Impact Thomas had on the world however and not wanting to let it be forgotten they start building a replica of Thomas using parts from the original. This Thomas would have a few differences such as a flat running board for example but still have the memories of the original as parts from it were used during the building process but he would also be aware of the fact he is a replica. Thomas Mk2 would leave Barry Isle and return to Sodor while the original is scrapped. Thomas Mk2 would continue the work of its predecessor while hiding the truth about him being a replica from the others.

I'd personally say that considering we have the spirit tunnel that can resurect dead characters/engines due to the supernatural presences in the world, its always an option for Thomas to be brought back.

Also I like how you brought up the railway series in that Wilbert wouldn’t be writing about Thomas in his last story unless he was alive, so yeah it could definitely happen.

I’m seeing some other theories touch on this, so I’ll compile elements of them into my own theory. Thomas survived the explosion initially because his cab was protecting his boiler. Since he’s a relatively young Steamie, he likely doesn’t have metal fatigue yet, so it would take a lot to knock him out completely… unlike Peter. He is likely going to be extra “high” on Green Water for the next god knows how long he’ll spend on Barry Island, and when he wakes up, he’ll likely ask about the war, since his last memory was of an explosion. I had a theory ages ago on another channel’s comments section, thinking that if SCPs of Sodor is getting a s2, then Thomas is collected by The Foundation, likely moved out under a frontispiece of “Sussex Central Planning,” before getting repaired and treated for PTSD and working as either a Non-Faceless MTF agent, or an imbedded agent within the Railway Inspector’s Unit
@jaanshersaeed45417 ай бұрын
Thomas was built in 1905 in TSOS and this is all set in 1965 where he’d be 60 so not really physically that young plus metal fatigue seems to be able to affect any non faceless vehicle whether or not they’re younger or older. Peter was also physically younger than Thomas where he was built in 1935 and in 1965 when getting killed he would’ve been 30.

Another point to support your theory is that “he was unconscious most of the time” and “we made sure he was filled to the brim with green water” so that implies that he might be in some kind of coma. The other thing I wanted to say was my own theory, what if Thomas comes back like Arthur? If engines are reincarnations of humans (like we see in scps of sodor) who’s to say that the same couldn’t happen with other engines? It can also explain why thomas is always seen as so young even though he’s more than 100 years old.

But another Arthur came to Sodor in the 50s with the same name, same letters same everything and that one was built in the 40s. So my theorie is another Thomas will come to Sodor.... But that is might not be the case now i think about it because Thomas is an E2 LBSCR Class tank engine and only 13 were built and by 1963 all of them met the cutter's torch so that might not be the case but Thomas never mentioned his siblings so maybe...

Good theory, I don't think Victor would put "To be continued" at the end of Munitions and let Thomas die in the next episode. I also don't think that Barry Isle would be mentioned without some purpose in the future, and that's what shows that it will. Just to add on, the entire theme of S5 was the Hall's, which was foreshadowed all the way back in S2. I highly doubt Thomas is going to appear in the next season, cuz it kinda ruins the entire idea of Thomas dying. I think that Thomas is going to appear in the first episode of S7 OR the last episode of S6.

I think the biggest evidence for me that Thomas isn't dead is how the stories of sodor has based most of its episodes around with some of the engine taking on the characters traits. I'm talking about TUGS. Now like I said, the main world engine took on these traits. Gordon as tophat, Edward as Hercules, Percy as Sunshine, etc. And our beloved number 1, Tencents. And as we all know from the original munitions episode, he too got blown and survived, badly damaged but survived. Victor may have up the game with a whole "Thomas didn't make it" scene but if we go by TUGS logic then he did. Extremely damaged but and engine worth salvaging. Especially if the queen gets word of his survival.

As for the RWS, I think the rule would only apply to characters the Reverend hadn't introduced yet, so I don't think Thomas's appearance in Tramway Engines contradicts that. But the Barry Island bit has to be something.

Victor did drop a comment on a reaction video for Fallout which goes along the lines of "This isn't the last time you'll see Thomas". Perhaps a good episode title for that could be Resurrection or Reunion. If the theories are true, then we could expect Thomas to wake up at Barry Island, surrounded by several husks of other faceless and non-faceless engines. This would cause a stir, and the news would eventually spread to Sodor, with everyone being overjoyed at the fact that Thomas managed to survive. Arrangements would soon be made to bring Thomas back to Sodor where he belongs, but not without some difficulty. Eventually, Thomas crosses the Walney Channel and returns home, with many waiting at Crovan's Gate for his gallant return (basically, the reverse of how he was sent off). Being scarred and battered, Thomas greets his old friends, and soon enough, work begins to get him back into working order, which also includes undergoing Steam-Diesel Conversion to increase his longevity. Eventually, after months of hard work, Thomas emerges from the works a new engine. Perhaps he wears an eyepatch for a while to hide the damage on his face if it never grows back. The basis for this is that in the Railway Series, Sir Handel wears an eyepatch after a tree branch injures his eye when he goes to Wales.

My theory is, the original stories of sodor was based off tugs, it then branched off of tugs based episodes for 3 seasons, so, this new season shows munitions, a tugs based episode, with a twist, I think that due to a bad autopsy that was quick and a brush over, this means Thomas was mistakenly pronounced dead, thus leading to a funeral and send off for the little Tankie, this couples with your theory with Barry and Thomas being all the same, Thomas wakes up as the cutters start lighting their torches and wonder why the engine just screamed, thus he is sent to crovans gate, then kill Dane, and found exactly like barry

I'm going to post something here, and please don't call it a 'crackpot conspiracy theory'. If you've heard the "Jinty" theory, well I'm the origin to that, and I'm about to list it here. I will also provide detail of the origin of this theory in with it. The short "don't want to read" of the theory, is that it's a case of mistaken identity, and that isn't Thomas, but is another locomotive named Jinty, and Thomas (though injured) is somewhere else at the harbor. So, on to the details: In Awdry's writing, there is a reference to another locomotive that appeared in 1956 on the island, on loan from British Railways. Jinty could be easily mistaken for Thomas, though his livery was BR black. Jinty stayed on the island, reportedly, until sometime in the 1960's, when he mysteriously vanished. Story wise, this is simply because Awdry consolidated his cast of characters, and simply 'wrote off' Jinty. However, various Thomas fandoms have picked up on this and featured him to some degree in their fan stories. I propose that Victor is doing just that here. I theorize that Jinty has been on the island since 1956, though he's primarily been working in an around the docks, as well as working for the "Other Railway". Victor's cast of characters have met him, and worked with him, but no stories have been recorded about them, as Edward, our main storyteller, hasn't seen anything overly memorable about Jinty. He's a hard worker, but always just kind of faded into the background. Keeping with him being on loan, with such a major job as the Krakatoa ship loading, and "all hands" being called to help with it, it does stand to reason that BR wouldn't hesitate to move Jinty there to help. The other engines didn't notice him there that night, because 1.) it was dark and Jinty is painted black, and 2.) because of the chaos of the fire and what was happening. I propose that this is the point when Jinty "stepped in" so to speak. Thomas was backing up with the flaming tank car, and then ran into some trouble with it. The brakes began to melt, and he cut away from it to escape. Jinty, who knew the danger it held, tried to pull it further away to get Thomas clear. However the tank car "blew up in his face" as we see from the damage. Jinty is killed, while Thomas is buried under rubble, or falls off into the harbor. Evidence why this is plausible: 1.) Jinty should be on the island around this time anyway. Victor has pretty closely followed Awdry's books and overall timeline, so it makes sense to have him there. 2.) Jinty and Thomas are close enough in design that if Jinty's paint were burned away, then he'd easily be mistaken for Thomas. 3.) The simple fact that the model that Victor used, was a locomotive where any and all identifying marks were burned away. 4.) The damage to the locomotive, and statements from the other engines say the tank car "blew up in its face". Thomas had the car coupled to his rear. So you'd expect more damage to his bunker, not his face. 5.) The damage at the harbor is such that even by the end of the episode, it's clearly stated that they were still finding things. Such as the bomb which killed Micky. It's implied it will take quite some time to fix, and that there are a large number of collapsed buildings, and piers. 6.) The locomotive in question was sent to Barry Island, and not broken up on site. That I think, is a writing point, as if the engine were broken up by people who KNEW Thomas, and had worked on him, then they'd pick up on the differences between Jinty and Thomas. Thus: Thomas is still alive, though badly injured. Either buried in rubble, or at the bottom of the harbor. Jinty was killed, and due to his injuries and damage, has been mistaken for him.

i think you could make the argument that the railway series and stories of sodor are completely different canons and books may have not been relesed in the SOS canon that were in real life

Honestly i really hope Thomas doesnt survive, because come on, Geoffrey dies apparently on impact of What is a pretty mid crash, Peter dies from 3 bullets and metal cancer, and Thomas just survives an explosion that takes a half of his face. Not that i want Thomas to be dead, but if he can survive, why can't the others?

Geoffrey - He was an experimental engine the LMS made, which means that he was built for speed and aerodynamics. Unfortunately this meant he could be taken out easily, which is why Henry could take a beating. Peter - Dies due to stress, and metal fatigue. Bullets pierced the exact spots, rendering these hits to be more fatal. Thomas - Was a bit away from the tankers before it exploded, his face is burned, and his consciousness fading in and out. They topped him up with green water and said it to be a lost cause.

@@TheTrainTheoristOfficial Good points, and Peters death was still believable, but still i find it odd that Thomas survived despite all the damage he had recieved. I still personally have yet to make my thoughts on season 5, i think it was ok but i hate how many characters were taken out.

You might be right I mean if was really dead then the Railway series and the whole franchise itself would be tarnished I think that sir topham Hatt’s son sir Charles hatt might find Thomas and since Thomas’s face is on the smoke boxes door he might get the idea to put the door on a different locomotive most likely an E2x cause that’s the engine he was based on in the books series which will bring Thomas out of the coma it’s just my thoughts

In a short were Percy had to get blown up by a tanker and then they make a rewrite in the script and Eric is going to get blown up but he survives beacause of some gogles. Also Salty is suposed to bring the tankers. Odd coincidence Salty a docks diesel brings it and Edward says to Percy before the rewrite that he had to die beacause of character developtment and i don't think that Thomas' arc or character development. Thank you for the amazing theory.

(Disconnected theory) Barry actually died. Since Sir Topham Hatt said "im amazed hes even alive" im pretty sure he died. Maybe they put red water instead of green water in to him and he died. He is sent to scrapyards until he ends up in killdane. Somewhere around that time he gets revived kinda like in path of the dead.
