Maybe Hiro, Salty and Carly are prototypes and that’s why they exist before their build dates

I do appreciate the CGI timeline mainly being a slight retelling of the model series, due to both still carrying the Thomas show as it’s presented to us whilst subtly making sure it’s it’s own canon that can be separated, just shares mostly the same events up to that point as confirmed by flashbacks

Man, the CGI series had so many crazy events.

I wonder if it is possible that Andrew Brenner might have possibly retconned Hiro saying he was the first engine on Sodor. But if we recall Hiro saying he was ONE of the first engines to arrive on Sodor, it may be possible he arrived in 1935, who knows. I am just trying to make sense of everything if CGI was canon with models.

I still don’t understand how Victor falling into the sea was Luke’s fault when it’s obviously Cranky’s fault

Big Mickeys reveal was one of the most suspension like moments in the show

I may have only been actively following the series for the Miller Era of this timeline, unfortunately, but after seeing the glory of the Brenner Era after discovering The Unlucky Tug, I can say that this has some of the best locations, characters, and episodes in the entire series, and I admire Tug's efforts to tie it all together.

I feel that when Hiro went back to Japan most of his friends had either passed away, scrapped, moved or preserved. Also maybe steam isn’t used in Japan anymore and only on Sodor can he be really useful.

9:36 this always has pissed me off. *THERE IS A LITERAL 1-IN-A-MILLION CHANCE THAT THE BARGE THOMAS WAS ON ACTUALLY ALIGNED WITH RAILS THAT RANDOMLY SHOW UP*

I have a deep feeling the Brenner Era took a big step into Sodors lore very seriously 10:23 17:22

Love this video! So much fun trying to piece together the CGI series, and I love the Brenner Era a ton so this was wonderful to see

17:57 We will be sure to see Hiro again if Thomas will visit him at Japan someday

Gordons reaction to all the changes is exactly how I felt

I hope that the kids that grow up with this new/4th Thomas time line really like it and grow up to find all the amazing originals.

9:25 Vicarstown bridge was probably being repaired

This is fire! I always wondered when and what happened during all the episodes, I watch this with my younger son but somehow it makes me wanna dig deeper. Keep it up!

I don't undertsand why people say CGI series didn't have realistic location and sets. The CGI series has a lot of this things.

One of many things I don't like about CGI era is that it didn't utilize character's personal theme song as much as it was in model era where you could tell the characters by just hearing music and it gives them more personality. The other thing I don't like is they hadn't done Emily a justice (but to be fair, she got butchered since series 8).

Great video. CGI timeline had a lot of events!

I still think Thomas and Friends CGI timeline is still Cannon to the models timeline

Common Tug W (sorry about what happened)

Let’s goo more Unlucky Tug

Thank you so much for reuploading all the old videos and still producing videos, I had a dream last night (and I didn’t even know that you have your channel deleted) but in the dream you didn’t reupload your videos and I could never watch them again and I woke up this morning and went to check your channel as quick as possible

Thank you!!! For calling out the reboot being crap!!! It makes no logical sense!!! I hate it with a passion!!! It's so bad it doesn't even deserve it's own ring in hell or in he'll at al!!! It deserves it's own hell where it's tortured by the three other shows for how unrealistic it is!!!

This video is all about making sense of a show's timeline which is senseless😂😂. I enjoyed this

*edward and henry being my favs* *bwba happens*

Can’t wait til the model era timeline is reuploaded!

He’s back HES BACK

So The rws era then model era and now The CGI era, congrats for that The chronological order of the Thomas and Friends from seasons 1 to 24 + movies, WOW just WOW Three eras are both great and amazing

The CGI timeline is like Thomas in CGI as a whole. Most of the time it’s a bloody mess, but there are times when it makes sense.

How i understand Gordon in "Forever and ever"😔

Misty island isnt fully refrenced in this song but it is hinted at by paxton and Sidney. In the song wheres Thomas? Paxton says "he could have found a secret tunnel to some island thats unkown" sidney replies "how can there be and island around here thats unkown?" "Well what if it was always coverd in mist? Oh that sounds very mist-erious"

I think this CGI series was written like most of model series and made little more realistic it would been way way better . Great videos on all these

oliver came out of the junkyard in the cgi series! and is mentioned in an episode called toad's adventure

The HIT and CGI eras deserve to have retcons for their characters and storylines.

0:14 456K views?! Well done. Shame it's only 8.2K on the reupload forced by KZfaq and Mattel.

I don't think Thomas the Tank Engine would have had nearly the same impact on me if i was growing up with the CGI stuff, instead of the classic series. I get some glimpses of it now that makes me want to take a look, but then they pull the "oh we need to make new toys" moves and turn me completely off the idea.

It could be that where Thomas had to go on the mainland for logs was more quickly accessible by boat than by going across the bridge

Ha nice loop hole (I mean I like how he’s considering century but said no years) that’s a good one (I actually didn’t realize that until recently)

The new thomas will never be as good as the cgi i loved watching it it was a big part of my childhood i remember the movies coming out and they made awesome track master sets after or before the movie

for misty island my head canon is that the draw bridge was broken which is why thomas had to go by ship (still makes the movie make no sense but now just a little more)

I remember day of the diesels. I used to watch it after being picked up at school

As much as I and so many more people in the Thomas community hate the CGI series, mainly specific parts of it, I respect the thought and work put into this video.

Fun Fact: There is no such thing as a model series continuity or a CGI series continuity its one continuity and always has been. This is a common misconception I keep seeing when its very obvious its all one timeline for the TV series.

6:41 Both Model and CGI a Scarf for Percy

Cally's ship looks like the Mayflower The Royal Navy's finest ship in the sails period might have been the Heavy First Rate Ship of the line (HMS Victory) but that was in the 18th century or 17th century

I totally love how you skipped some things

If I ran Mattel, I’d make EVERYTHING just perfect as fans would want it, fix every series error and flanderzation, with a few character developments and a slight land edit and EVERY location on Sodor fixed

The CGI era had some mostly good development for the TV series timeline even though it had some flaws.

As for the Magic Railroad. If I remember correctly, and don’t quote me on this, Lady is seen later on Sodor in either the classic or CGI timeline, making the events of the movie canon to one of them.

I was gonna point out Big Mickey from Tugs, but you say it enough that when it’s referenced, it’s canon, then it makes sense Tugs never happened anyway 😂

You know, I would love to see a CGI version of TATMR, but with better writing, the original villain P.T. Boomer and George the Steamroller.

Imagine putting all 3 of these timelines together somehow (including magic railroad). That would be a mess. Lol

10:12 17:04 Non-canon opportunities that are ruined by Thomas

I like to think that the events in the CGI series are out of order, simply because of the inconsistencies. In canon, it has a drifting timeline so it literally doesn't matter. But being Autistic, realism and timelines matter for me. The RWS has a timeline though. It's fascinating how fans are able to get around with the CGI's continuity problem.

If you think about it really well, no, that season 18 episode did NOT happen in Tale of the Brave. Here is my evidence. In Tale of the Brave, Gator goes to the Fenland and says that he is sorry for giving James a fright. Although, in the episode, Gator just keeps going when the signal turns green. Thus, Gators lamp just goes out twice and James is a total scaredy cat that shouldn't be making fun of Percy when he got scared of Gator twice in a row. Unlucky Tug, I know you and other people probably won't read this, but I just wanted to say this to clarify things. His ship is also delayed twice.

oh yeah the adventure begins gets all of the attention

Thomas the Tank Engine Series was one of my oldest childhood memories and since then I love both the models and the CGI. It's a shame that the CGI Thomas and Friends series has coming to the end because I would to see continuing visiting other countries a bit more as he hasn't have a chance to visit American, Germany, France, Mexico, Berlin, and Japan as well as meeting the other engines featuring in "Thomas and Friends The Great Race" like Vinnie, Frieda, Axel, Ivan, Etienne and Carlos. But sadly it's not going to happen now no thanks to Mattel.

The vicarstown bridge is neither seen or mentioned in the Miller era

9:23 ''He Goes Via Ship When There's a Railway Drawbridge To The Mainland'' Maybe it's because the Vicarstown Bridge was Broken at the time.

Fun fact: you actually CAN hear how Thomas returns from his second world tour… through the form of an official ASMR story on a sleep app called CALM! (It sucks ass tho) basically, Thomas comes home but gets sad no ones talking to him, turns out… everyone planed him a surprise party. YaAaAy

Is edward a legend or no and edward is my favorite

"Philip races Gordon, and win's" Me: what?

Interesting.

If I have to choose one Thomas series, it’ll always be The Railway Series

Just realized at 0:47 The fat cantroller can be seen to the right

fyi the events of Donald and Douglas (the signal box smashing) and Twin Trouble are referenced in Emily in the middle, sooo that probably happened sometime when they joined the railway in that weird time period thing

Exis me when I was little I used to be scared of misty island rescue but now I love it

Probably the bridge was under repair so thats why thomas had to go by boat

You mean to tell me that in this universe... theirs not just talking trains, but talking cars too? Bruh

Misty Island Rescue makes BWBA the Movie look like a Railway documentary by comparison

Which dub is the canon one the USA dub or the UK dub ?

Do yall know that a book released in 2022 when thomas went to japan and new characters were introduced like c11 e10 and others and the oigawa is also mentioned in the book? Yea And C11 Is Hiro's Brother!

Timelines of TTTE: 1. Railway Series (Books 1-42 and the Island of Sodor book) 1945-2005 2. Model Era (Season 1-12) 1984-2008 3. CGI Series (Season 13-24) 2009-2020 4. All Engines Go/Anime Series (Season 25-32) 2021-2026? 5. Jayden The Locomotive/My Timeline (Season 1-13) 2027-2038

20:43 We’re not going to have a fourth timeline like this because one of Donald Trump’s team is going to make a fourth timeline in the future CGI series very soon

Timelines? Multiple versions? Paradoxes? What is this, Dr. Strange?

if you look at hiro's wheels at 3:54 they aren't moving

The way you make the argument that all 3 canons are the same is by using Awdry's BS statement from the IoS book that not all the footage/illustrations are accurate to the actual events, like NWR1991 did with NWR Tales.

Oh, I never knew that Emily got a number. I barely watched watched BWBA I never saw it

My headcannon is that there all different universes (yes including the utur dog shit of age) meaning there in a thomas multiverse Side note i grew up on the cgi i stuff left around jerny beond soder as that movie scared me so i have a soft spot for it model's are still king tho

SO CLOSE TO THE MODEL TIMELINE

Misty island is special

the Driver And Firemen in Thomas in BWBA Be like Driver: Lets just agree to a talking train Firemen: sounds reasonable

I’m pretty sure the model timeline and cgi timeline are connected

Journey beyond sodor is before all hell broke lose that is bwba

Would you ever do a map of the railway series explained?

I love Thomas

I think Emily arrived to Sodor recent or along side Arthur, Murdoch, Salty, and Harvey

I know I'm a year late b ut my thoughts on the tunnel running under water where that there was no water and due to significant rainfall and flooding the water took over the tunnel and that it's now an underwater tunnel that is my guees though the wjole idea sucks its still somewhat logic right?

All engines go timeline is coming up

16:15 "Henry gets kicked off the main ca-"

15:33 16:14 Edward and Henry will return to Tidmouth Sheds and Nia and Rebecca would move to Vicarstown with Rosie because another engine who was send to the mainland in 1998 to do a lot of work there will return to Sodor and move back to Wellsworth with Philip we’ll have to wait and see

Note: Prince Charles is now King and Queen Elizabeth II you can guess what happened

I laugh soo hard when you Said the cgi is a fucking mess 🤣🤣🤣

The fat controller's wife is lady hatt and doulager hatt is his mother

I grew up on the cgi series so I can confirm that it basically collapsed into a randomly loony toons style 2d show

6:16 model duck caught on cgi

there are lots of cab trains

19:53 So The Royal Engine is CGI Gordon Goes Foreign? And also at 20:01 Since the model only had two tenders a face and a a cab the decided to to take the Flying Scotsman part out of the episode,That why Tender Engines i different Than Tenders For Henry Sohats what changed.
