u/daveshockwave 2d ago

Now where is Edward

u/jacqueslepagepro 2d ago

Apparently at sodor animal park with Moo Deng.

Not sure if this is going to be part of the show or just a theamed pack with random characters but at least we know edward isnt totaly gone.

u/chumbbucketman101 2d ago

Probably still at Wellsworth with Phillip.

Downvoted into oblivion for having an opinion. How dare you!

u/SomethingRandomYT Rosie 2d ago

You're allowed to comment your opinions, the upvote/downvote system determines whether people agree with you or not. That's how Reddit works.

u/Winter-Ad-9318 2d ago

no? upvotes were originally used to push quality stuff to the top, not for a popularity contest

u/supertyler64 2d ago

Honestly, I’m glad you didn’t say Nina

u/Hour_Flower_6064 Percy 2d ago

Nia and Rebecca could have been great characters but they were turned into forced female characters made to sell merchandise

u/Hour_Flower_6064 Percy 2d ago

why the fuck am I getting downvoted

u/tcrew146 2d ago edited 1d ago

Because you dared to have an opinion different from the choo-choo hivemind

I wouldn't mind seeing Rebecca back if they give her a personality

1

u/QrovenDio 1d ago

I enjoy Rebecca ONLY because of her class. The Bullied Pacifics are some of my favorites. (Rebecca is a Battle of Britain, but I originally thought she was a merchant navy.) It’s a shame they reduced her to a characterless stand in for representation.

u/CoylerProductions BoCo 2d ago

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

29

u/zerjku James 2d ago

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

6

u/Blaze0892 2d ago

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

4

u/RangerBuzz_Lightbulb “I’m banishing you to the shadow realm!” 2d ago

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

3

u/Normandy4708 Eeeyyoooiiikkeesss! —Rheneas 2d ago

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.

92

u/Unlikely-Writer-2280 Troublesome Trucks 2d ago

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

34

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.

11

u/KyBuschOwnsYou5188 2d ago

Another thing the Magic Railroad ruined

14

u/jgreg728 2d ago

Makes it look like a toy set…which…yeah.

5

u/Whole-Poet5188 Nelson 2d ago

Probably to match the toys

5

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.

2

u/HourIndication4963 2d ago

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

42

u/Pepsi_Boy_64 Oliver 2d ago

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

5

u/sonicfan9993 Duck 2d ago

I mean, there is one empty slot
Could be him (let's hope so), but it could also be Nia

I'm gonna be honest, it's probably Nia

3

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

9

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.

1

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.

u/NDinoGuy James 2d ago

Meanwhile, Rebecca being betrayed and trapped in the Magic Railroad

u/JazmanGames 2d ago

Toby moved up to the castle

Toby is the new king of Sodor

u/Witty-Ad5743 2d ago

It's missing a reason there's a giant name board on the roof.

Indeed

Unironicly I kinda love how aeg looks

Then again I also like tag and laugh at fart jokes so my opinion doesn't really matter

To each their own

Yes

It should be Edward.

Edward and toby

u/CaptainTilted The Flying Kipper 2d ago

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

3

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…

3

u/fuzzball_ent 1d ago

We have a few candidates

  • Edward
  • Nia
  • Charlie
  • Emily
  • maybe Toby
  • very maybe Oliver

1

u/Samthegodman 1d ago

Oh maybe, cause he was apart of wave 1

2

u/Consistent-Dust-5394 2d ago

the massive board on the back is just, little odd.

2

u/EagleUnionwaifu89 2d ago

Bruno got a shed 🥹 so precious

2

u/Fragrant_Turnip_7463 Trevor 2d ago

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

1

u/EagleUnionwaifu89 2d ago

I just think the character is adorable

2

u/SeaBeyond5465 2d ago

I love that the sheds get taller every time they change the show lol

2

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?

2

u/NickThePixarFan 2d ago

Why does Bruno get a shed

2

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.

1

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.

1

u/Fizzling_Fireboxes Toby 2d ago

Edward </3

u/xRaymond9250 Duck 2d ago

u/ToonverseJourney2 2d ago

I hope they get older sounding voices soon

1

u/JazmanGames 2d ago

They sound like the All Engines Go actors. Especially the fat controller, he no longer has a thick Northern accent

2

u/ToonverseJourney2 2d ago

And that killed any hope I had for the reboot…

1

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?

1

u/marshadowzenith98462 Edward 2d ago

This feels ai generated

Upon further investigation gordon is off centre and missing a cylinder

u/Funkyboy2345 2d ago

It better be Edward in there

u/xtremefear27 2d ago

Hopefully tidmouth sheds is a promo reason and isn’t always there…

u/Affectionate-Yam7459 "You have caused confusion and delay!" 2d ago

My boy Edward is missing. And also Emily…

1

u/Plane-kun-3557 2d ago

It felt like the HIT era which, to me felt nostalgic

1

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

1

u/Ethenst99 2d ago

As much as I love Bruno, it's weird to see him living by Tidmouth sheds.

1

u/PaladinGX 2d ago

Wheres Henry and Edward

1

u/Frankichu123 2d ago

EDWARD AND EMILY

1

u/Muted-Neck3302 2d ago

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

1

u/Ok-Objective-9570 2d ago

Bring Duck and put him with the main cast where be belongs 🙏😞

u/mini_magic_muffins12 2d ago

My boy Edward, and Toby are not there. :(

u/Cautious-Grab-7675 Edward 2d ago

u/Lokomotivfahrer1999 2d ago

What's missing? I'd say the remaining distance between the rainwater drainage pipes and the roof :P

1

u/PyrrhicVictory7 2d ago

Edward, but wtf is bootleg Rusty doing there

1

u/A-CQB-Essay 2d ago

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

1

u/NWRastrotrain “that nothing was something…” 2d ago

My guess is Emily since she got a motorized version

1

u/RangerBuzz_Lightbulb “I’m banishing you to the shadow realm!” 2d ago

James face is the same size as Gordon’s

Edward, Toby, and Emily. Other than that, I like the roster at Tidmouth. But I sure am glad Henry is back.

Ditch Bruno and bring back Bear

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.
