Born and raised on Imperial Damocles, though always quiet among most company, Blake Martin showed promise from a young age, showing high intelligence and equally high athletic merit. As soon as she was old enough she'd enlisted in the Imperial military as a marine.

Edward

Builder
 Gender
 Voice
 Alignment

Edward is a blue mixed traffic engine, who lives on the Island of Sodor and is the oldest engine on the North Western Railway.

## Trivia

* Edward was never in any known script for the film. The reasons were because his new model wasn't finished in time and there wasn't screentime or opportunity to utilize him in a way that would have added real value to the film.
* He did however appear in the 20th Anniversary Video Presentation. In the special he was the engine who took Sir Topham Hatt and Lady Hatt on their holiday, hence explaining his absence in the original film.
* In the special he was also voiced by Noel MacNeal, famed for voicing Bear in Bear in the Big Blue House.
Mara Wilson

Occupation
 Role as

**Mara Elizabeth Wilson** (born July 24, 1987) is an American playwright and former child actor best known for her roles as Nattie Hillard in *Mrs. Doubtfire*, Matilda Wormwood in *Matilda*, and Susan Walker in the 1994 remake of *Miracle on 34th Street*.

Her final role was the 2000 family film *Thomas and the Magic Railroad* as Lily Stone.

## Personal life

As of 2013, Wilson resides in the Queens borough of New York City. She came out as bisexual during an interview with Medium in September 2017.

In 2015, Wilson appeared in a video by the mental health charity Project UROK in which she discussed the mental illnesses she has experienced, including anxiety, depression, and obsessive compulsive disorder. She discussed her history of mental illness on Paul Gilmartin's podcast The Mental Illness Happy Hour.

In a 2017 op-ed in Elle magazine, Wilson defended the then 13-year-old actress Millie Bobby Brown after commentators sexualized Brown's public image. In a 2021 op-ed in The New York Times, she commented on the documentary Framing Britney Spears and the parallels between their lives as child stars. She recalled an incident in which she was asked to comment on the burgeoning sexuality of an 18-year-old Spears when she herself was barely 13, and expressed relief at largely escaping oversexualization of her public image compared to Spears. She described her disappointment when a reporter called her a "spoiled brat" after she stated that she wanted the day off on her 13th birthday instead of granting interviews. She apologized for her comments.

Strand Home Video

Strand Home Video April 1992-January 1995Strand Home Video was a video label which distributed Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends US VHS releases in the early 1990s. In early 1994, the company was accuired by and folded into Video Treasures, though releases continued to use Strand's logo, probably because the master tapes were edited and copyrighted in 1993. The Strand Home Video logo shared the exact same music as The Video Collection.

Patch

**Patch** is a young teenage boy who lives in Shining Time.

## Bio

Patch was the first person, other than Burnett Stone, to discover the location of the workshop where Lady was hidden away deep inside Muffle Mountain. Patch later went on to befriend Lily and took her for a ride on his horse on the ground above the dormant Magic Railroad tracks.

## Trivia

* In the original script for the film, Patch would also have been portrayed as an adult, married to Lily. It is possible that this scene was actually filmed but cut, as Canadian actor Robert Tinkler is credited for playing an older Patch in the credits.
	+ Sodor Island Fansite has speculated that the shot of a family riding horses at the end of the film is a shot of Lily and Patch's family, which would explain why Tinkler is credited.
* In one of the original scripts of the movie, Patch rode his horse down the Magic Railroad to retrieve the truck of Sodor coal.
* According to the character notes for the script of the movie, Patch was originally intended to be Irish.

**Splatter and Dodge** (collectively referred to by Diesel 10 as **"Splodge"** (a portmanteau of their names) are two diesel shunters (who were Diesel 10's bumbling minions).

Rylig

Il **Rylig** era un forte stimolante usato dai D'rhasilhani. Una piccola quantità veniva infilata nella guancia e masticata per mantenere una persona lucida e vigile. Una dose troppo elevata provocava balbuzie, belligeranza e mancanza di autocontrollo. Il Rylig era molto costoso.

## Ne *La Polvere dei Sogni*

Non avendo familiarità con la droga acquistata da due D'ras a bordo di un battello fluviale, Tarr si infilò l'intero pacchetto in bocca. Quando il Sergente Maggiore Pores gli ordinò di spostare una cassa, il sovraeccitato Tarr balbettò e si insubordinò, imprecando contro l'ufficiale e minacciandolo. Pores capì subito il problema, afferrò Tarr per il collo e lo costrinse a sputare il Rylig. In seguito, valutò se il Rylig potesse essere un investimento degno di nota. Tarr trovò poi i due D'ras che stavano ridendo delle sue disgrazie e li gettò fuoribordo in pasto ai coccodrilli.

James

Builder
 Gender
 Voice
 Alignment

**James** is a red mixed-traffic L&YR Class 28 engine who can sometimes be vain and boastful. All the same, he means well and is a hard worker.

## Origin

James was first a black engine with red stripes when he first came to Sodor. However, he got into an accident with some freight cars and came off the rails. Thomas saved James with the breakdown train and then James went to the Steamworks and he was repainted red. James is still boastful and likes to show off.

## Personally

In the film's script, Lily describes James as follows, "James is a rather moody engine. His temper can be as red as his paint, if he could play in a band I'm sure he'd be a great drummer. "

He is seen getting into conflicts with Thomas about small things, such as who should have collected Mr. Conductor. But he soons abandons this disagreement to join the other engines in the hunt for the lost engine.

## Quotes

James: I was naughty, and Sir Topham Hatt told me to think about all the ways I could be really useful, then I could come out again.

James: Leave it to the big engines, Percy!

James: Hey Mr. C., why do you look so tired? Is it because I'm red? Diesel says red is a very tiring color, but Mr. C., red looks so nice against the snow. It's not me, is it?

## Trivia

* James was supposed to appear in the film's climax, as well as Percy, but they were cut for unknown reasons.
Korhivi

I **Khorivi** erano un gruppo culturale umano nel nord-ovest di Genabackis. Furono tra le tre tribù che fondarono la città di Malyntaeas, anche se erano noti per aver fatto la guerra ai Nathii.

## Storia dell’Occupazione Malazan

I Korhivi erano in guerra con i Nathii quando i Malazan arrivarono sotto Dujek Il Monco. Aveva solo tre legioni della Seconda Armata Malazan, gli Arsori di Ponti, e due Sommo Maghi, e alla fine di quel giorno l'intera flotta dei Nathii era stata affondata, mentre la stirpe reale dei Genabarii giaceva morta nel castello rosso sangue dei Korhivi, che ormai aveva capitolato ai Malazan.

The Magic Railroad

**The Magic Railroad** is a magical railway run by the magic engine, Lady, who in fact brings magic to everything on the Island of Sodor. It featured prominently in Thomas and the Magic Railroad. To enter, the engines must travel through the Magic Buffers which are located west of Kirk Ronan and south of Cabalnoo
P.T. Boomer

Alias
 Gender
 Actor

**P.T. Boomer** is the character and a hidden main antagonist in *Thomas and the Magic Railroad* and making Diesel 10 as his passenger.

## Origin

Many years ago, Pete Tiberius Boomer was jealous of the relationship that Burnett Stone had with Tasha and bullied Burnett into allowing him to take Lady for a run. After crashing her, he left Shining Time Station while Burnett spent years trying to restore her, to no avail. Boomer is described in the script as being "a drifter through choice". He returns now a good forty years later a bitter and dark character bent on getting rid of Lady.

Boomer is the reason behind Mutt's unease, and reason for bringing Lily to Shining Time rather than letting her go on to Muffle Mountain. Boomer spends much of his time throughout the movie arguing with Burnett Stone and digging into the mountain looking for Lady.

He has no (said) ownership or connections with Diesel 10, other than their shared desire to destroy Lady and Island of Sodor. He doesn't believe in magic and when he finds Thomas in the real world, he believes that he's just a huge toy. Thomas is the reason why Boomer ends up on Sodor: he's transported back in Thomas's cab on the way back through the Magic Railroad.

He and Diesel 10 meet their fates during the chase scene when they plunge off the Big Dipper into a barge filled with sludge. What happened to Boomer after that is unknown, however it is assumed that he was arrested by the Sodor Police.

## Personally

Boomer is an opportunist, who has drifted from situation to situation, making money wherever he can - usually out of others misfortunes. He is an emotionally muddy man who is obsessed with cleanliness and order. Now he is out of opportunities, except one - to return to Shining Time with only himself, his motorcycle, a lifelong grudge, and a thirst for revenge.

## History of *Thomas and the Magic Railroad*

Destination Films  was founded by Brent Baum, John Bertolli and Steve Stabler in 1998. Barry London is a chairman and President of Marketing and Distribution. They are based in Culver City, California, USA.

They distributed and helped produce Thomas and the Magic Railroad.

***In July 26 2000 , Thomas and the Magic Railroad*** The 2000 feature film based on the television show *Thomas & Friends* and its American spin-off *Shining Time Station*. Was In Theaters And It was produced by Gullane Entertainment, The Britt Allcroft Company, Isle of Man Film Commission and Destination Films, and was distributed by Destination Films in the US.

In an Early  2007 interview, Britt Allcroft commented that the finished film was drastically different from the version she had written, with several scenes, plot elements and characters being cut from the final film.

One of the biggest changes to the film was the removal of P.T. Boomer, the film's original main antagonist. He was cut after test audiences found him to be too frightening for children. Despite his excision, Boomer still appears in a few unedited moments of the final film and even appears in one of the trailers, which shows him and Diesel 10 falling off the viaduct. The official *Thomas and the Magic Railroad* website also had images and information regarding his character prior to being cut. Parts of his character, such as his goal to find Lady, were rewritten for Diesel 10.

Strand VCI Entertainment was the American branch of The Video Collection which distributed eight Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends VHS releases in the US.

**Releases**

**1990**

* Thomas Gets Tricked and Other Stories (VHS)

* James Learns A Lesson and Other Stories (VHS)

* Tenders and Turntables and Other Stories

* Thomas Breaks the Rules and Other Stories

**1991**

**Trivia**

* Strand VCI Entertainment changed its name to Strand Home Video in 1992.
* As there was only one round of nameboards between episodes, the "Next Story Coming Up Soon" card was shortened to "Next Story Coming Up!" The same scene from Trouble in the Shed is also used for that card on all five tapes.
* Trust Thomas and Other Stories features the Strand VCI Entertainment logo at the beginning of the tape. It also uses a "Next Story Coming Up" card with a scene from Duck Takes Charge.

Thomas and the Magic Railroad Print Studio

**Thomas and the Magic Railroad Print Studio** is a PC CD-ROM game based on the movie Thomas and the Magic Railroad. It was released by Hasbro Interactive in the UK only and features narration by Michael Angelis.

## Description

Thomas & Friends, from the popular TV program and movie, are now featuring in the Magic Railroad Print Studio. This is where imaginative and creative kids can try out many practical but fun projects. They'll find it's very easy to design and colour in their own creations, especially with help from Michael Angelis as Sir Topham Hatt.

## Activities

* Greeting Cards with Thomas
* Posters with Percy
* Jigsaws with Diesel 10
* Growth Charts with James
* Big Maps with Splatter
* Cut Out and Build with Lady
* Colouring with Dodge

## Trivia

* Due to its limited release after the movie was shown in cinemas, this game is considerably hard to find out of all the CD-ROM games released in the UK.
	+ This was due to Hasbro Interactive's closure on December 6th of 2000, with Infogrames purchasing them the following day.
* amazon.co.uk lists the game as being released on October 19th, 2000, a month after the game was finalised according to the files on the disc.
* This is the first Thomas & Friends PC game based on a special.
* Despite the movie involving American and Canadian actors and being based on the American spin-off series, Shining Time Station, this game was released exclusively in the UK. It is unknown why it was never released anywhere else.
* In the game's files, Billy Twofeathers and Burnett Stone's sprites are named "Indian" and "Peter" respectively. Billy's sprite is probably named "Indian" due to his character's nationality. Burnett's sprites were most likely named Peter as he was portrayed by Peter Fonda in the film.
* Thomas, James and Percy have their Series 1 themes, Lady has Annie and Clarabel's theme, Diesel 10 has Trevor's theme, Splatter has Sir Topham Hatt's theme, and Dodge uses a recreated version of Toby's theme.
* Edward, Mavis, Terence, Caroline and Bulstrode are included in the game despite not appearing in the film itself.

Original workprint

This is the rough version of a motion picture, used by the film editors during the editing process. Such copies generally contain original recorded sound that was later re-dubbed, stock footage as placeholders for missing shots and special effects, as well as animation tests for in-production animated shots or sequences.

What *Thomas and the Magic Railroad* has that was cut and edited after the final cut release is seen in the workprint.

## Differences from final cut

* P.T. Boomer Played by Doug Lennox, is another villain in the movie
* George and Cranky appeared in the original script of the film, however did not appear in any other drafts after that.
* Workprints leaked in 2020 can be viewed in 480p quality.

## The workprint

## Trivia

* Most of the scenes were altered or cut from the final version due to the test audience
* The original version of the chase scene was found and uploaded to YouTube.
* Workprints leaked in 2020 can be viewed in 480p quality.
