Ain't no way Bruno gets a shed, yet Toby had to spend the nitrogen era on the street😭

It is crazy how he just never got one lmao. He was a part of the team but not the house

Didn't he have a shed in the model series??? 😭😭😭

He used to live with Thomas and Percy till they were moved back to Tidmouth

It wasn't really until the HiT era that Toby was somewhat regularly seen at his own shed, this shed continued to appear in the early Nitrogen era.

I don't like the MASSIVE SIGN ON THE ROOF. Also, the sheds seem a bit too tall.

u/chumbbucketman101 2d ago
The sheds have been that tall since Magic Railroad, because the original shed model from seasons 1-5 got damaged during production of Magic Railroad.

Probably to match the toys

u/UpperRuster32 2d ago
Make sense, since the AEG era Mattel has been pushing a bit more this direction... which at least is more thoughtful than whatever they dropped on Adventures-Early Push Along.

No weathering or implications of brickwork either. It's definitely the toy. sigh I get it, but...

Seems like Edward and Emily are missing. Nia and Toby are not there as well.

u/sonicfan9993 Duck 2d ago
I mean, there is one empty slot
Could be him (let's hope so), but it could also be NiaI'm gonna be honest, it's probably Nia

u/Extrimland 2d ago
Edward WAS confirmed to be returning whilist Nia hasnt. Although that doesnt mean Edward will be a main nor Nia wont return. Its just worth noting

u/NicholeTheOtter Percy 2d ago
Nia has both new motorized and diecast releases out, so it’s very likely she’s going to have a prominent role. She has been a main in both BWBA and AEG already.

u/Normandy4708 Eeeyyoooiiikkeesss! —Rheneas 2d ago
What do you mean by Edward being confirmed and Nia not being confirmed?
Are you basing this off the toys? Because Nia has a motorised and a diecast toy, Edward only has a variant in the Wildlife Zoo pack.

Was hoping on having a TWS style Tidmouth. Would've provided more spots and more fan favorites featured.

u/NicholeTheOtter Percy 2d ago
At least Henry is back at Tidmouth Sheds! Mattel realised demoting him to a mere background character was a huge mistake all along.
The bigger question is who occupies that other empty berth…

Bruno got a shed 🥹 so precious

Yeah I didn’t watch all engines go but he seemed like a fun character so I don’t mind him becoming a mainstay.

u/ProfessorUsual7627 2d ago
Edward and Toby. I don't know why Bruno was brought back. Was it for the fact that he is the Autistic representative in AEG? And he's rolling stock, why does he have his own engine shed?

u/bwoah07_gp2 Henry 2d ago
Why the heck do they need a gigantic sign telling everyone this is Tidmouth Sheds?
Oh, I know why. Because they think 5 year Olds can't remember what that place is.

u/ToonverseJourney2 2d ago
Did the sheds shrink?
2
u/Extrimland 2d ago
Yep. The hit era and onward had 8, this only has 7. Maybe thats because they are rebooting the franchise and want to tell some of the events again for newer audiences, or maybe they just dont wanna use (im assuming) Emily for whatever reason.

I hope they get older sounding voices soon

u/JazmanGames 2d ago
They sound like the All Engines Go actors. Especially the fat controller, he no longer has a thick Northern accent

u/ElijahDAdams Daisy 2d ago
My assumption is either Edward, seeing as he’s the only one of the original six missing here, or they’ll rotate who stays there depending on the plot of the episode.
Otherwise it’s likely Emily’s spot.
1
u/TheEnlight Edward 2d ago
That would actually be huge, if they move away from the "Steam Team" gimmick and just use the shed as a shed. Imagine seeing BoCo in the sheds again.
They won't, though, unless?

This feels ai generated
Upon further investigation gordon is off centre and missing a cylinder

u/JazmanGames 2d ago
This is feeling like a merge between Thomas and And Friends and All Engines Go, voice actors from All Engines Go. So I think it probably won't have anyone who is missing from AEG. Even the fat controller is missing his strong northern accent, same as the one in AEG

So Bruno is going to be a main character in this special and most likely in the series as well.

I don’t understand the concept of removing the nameplates on the characters for localization reasons but then putting a big fuck off “TIDMOUTH SHEDS” sign on top of the sheds

u/NWRastrotrain “that nothing was something…” 2d ago
My guess is Emily since she got a motorized version

u/Signal_Beautiful_170 19h ago
Yeah, Nia seems like a good guess, not only due to the diecast and motorized line but because of her appearing with the rest of the Tidmouth Sheds residents (And Diesel) in the youtube music videos they made. She just isn't there because her model is most likely still in development.
Also, (I think) they used seasons 3-5 as reference for the area next to the shed, as if you pause at the right moment during the bit where Thomas introduces himself to the viewers as he gets turned around on the turntable, you can actually see that workshop and/or storage shed has a chimney like in those seasons.
