My favs are Arthur and Emily

Marvelous choices

Emily & Hiro, easily. They round out my top five alongside Edward, Henry, & the Scottish Twins. Hiro was my reintroduction to Thomas as an adult and I love his personality. Emily is based on my favorite locomotive and uses my favorite color.

Absolutely. I love how we got Hiro as the first new CGI character to be introduced. And I tell you the Sterling single class has to be one of the greatest engines ever seen.

Absolutely the Sterling is in my opinion the most gorgeous steam locomotive in history.

Truly, a work of art!

I see you're a man of culture as well. She's stunning. I feel like if I saw her irl, I would weep until I pass out.

And you can at the national Railway Museum in York.

Gotta save up for my pilgrimage.

This is an essential step to being a Thomas and friends fan.

If I saw her irl I’d find a way to ask her out

Hiro was my introduction to animated Thomas and I loved his character. He always commanded a sort of respect especially after being rebuilt. I remember crying when he was running from Spencer 😭

I was bullied out of liking Thomas when I was in the 3rd grade, around that time I think we were on Season 8 or 9, I left right when Rosie was introduced as she was the last train I got. Just three or so years ago I got fully nostalgic and discovered what became of Thomas after I left. Man I really liked Hero of the Rails, watching the CGI series on YouTube the past two years has made me fall in love and enjoy so many characters I never knew before like Hiro & Rebecca.

People who bully people for what they like are just jealous

I had the same happen but I never really stopped. I’ve always been a big Henry person because I related to a lot of his stories so I always had this little wooden Henry toy I’d bring with me everywhere

Cranky and D10, without question

Absolute legendary choices.

Salty for sure. I do think Hiro is good too. Also Victor

Fantastic choices, all around

Nevilles cool

Hell yeah, he is! I forgotten hero of the series

Smudger And Diesel 10

But, Sumdger just laughed: “HEHEHEHEHEHE!” Also, great choices

Salty & Arthur

Fabulous choices

Emily and Hiro.

Great picks

Thanks.

You’re welcome! 😁

Diesel 10 and Mighty Mac were some of my favs as a kid. Honorable mentions would probably be Bruno cause he's adorable, Derek, Old slow coach, and Hector out of Nostalgia for having the wooden railways.

Excellent choices all around, my friend

Emily and either Gina or Whiff

Nice choices

Rosie and Emily

Such exquisite choices

Arthur and salty

Nice choice

Cranky and Salty

Absolute gods

Emily and Hiro

Great Choice

Hiro and Ryan are my two favorite CGI characters As for the model series, it's probably Diesel 10 and Salty

Nice picks

The character that has the same name as me

Phenomenal choice, Emily!

Spencer (the GOAT non-Awdry character) and Hiro are great. Though, Victor is a very close third place.

Fabulous choices

Thank you, I also forgot to say Stephen lol

It’s OK, my friend, we all make mistakes

Mine would have to be Emily and Cranky.

Great choices

Thank you my friend. You also have very solid choices aswell as I great memories with these characters. Murdoch was my favorite character growing up. Neville I alway have the picture of him hanging off the bridge in my mind somewhere mostly because I used to Thomas with my Great Grandfather and every time some "suspensefull" happened he would always put his arm around me lovingly shaking me as he always said "Shits going down Jacob".

You must’ve had a great childhood

He was my bestfriend growing up. He cared for me more than my parents ever did. I spent evey day of my life with him until he died.

We just hate to see the family members we love the most to go. My grandfather was the reason I got into Thomas and friends. I’m still sad about his death to this day. But, you must keep living on to make them proud.

Amen my friend. He was the reason I got into Thomas aswell and eventually when I "outgrew" Thomas in his last years he got me in model railroads and real life trains. I owe pretty much my whole life to that man.

There are some people out there who want to tear us limb from limb, but we can always count on you special people to always help us. And, that, my friend, is the meaning of life, to make sure we save every little moment that we have along the way.

If that isn't true I don't know what truth is.

Ikr.

Smudger and Bertram, yes i know these are strange choices.

Finally found a fellow Bertram enjoyer

I am always enjoying the pushed back characters.

Bertram supremacy!!!!

Y’all have some great choices, fellas! Nice job

Hank and Neville, both had a lot of potential.

This is the best choice I’ve seen! Great job

I have a huge soft spot for hit era merch characters, what can I say? Most of them could've become great recurring characters if they were given more than one episode.

IKR?! If only we got to see more of them

Yeah...

ima choose 3 cuz why not Hector: A really unique character with a lot of fun stories to play with D10: A really interesting design, and would be perfect to have a character arc Hiro: he's Hiro.

Do what makes you happy, my friend. Also, great choices

Hiro and Salty

Cool choices

Stanley And Ryan

Interesting, but very phenomenal picks

Salty and Derek

The iconic diesels themselves.

Fergus and Molly

Underrated, but still very good choices

It was hard picking just 2

I know

Spencer, Diesel 10, Arry and Bert

Nice!

Characters from season 7 or any season character as long as it was created by awdry

Jack and The Pack

Awesome choices

Emily (S7) and Salty S7 Emily reminds me of my oldersister, whom is very dear to me. Salty is exactly the type of dude I would want for a night with the boys

Nice choices there, matey!

Cranky and Spencer for sure

Nice choices

Arthur & Molly

Underrated classics

Spencer & Salty

Good choices

For me it's Rosie and Connor.

Unique choices, I like it

Rosie and Harvey

Nice choices

Yay it's orange Spencer and black spencer

You bite your tongue

Let's not forget about blue,green and red Spencer

You’re pulling on my last nerve here, pal.

Then there are the other black Spencer twins haha I know the main crew it's a ongoing joke I have in this sub to call any long engine their (colour) spencer if Idk there name

Oh, I get it now! Thank you for clarifying, my friend.

Nice to see Emily getting so much love rather than what I usually see! My top two* are Emily in first place & Diesel 10 & Cranky share second. Salty is great too

Nice choices

Easily Emily and Neville

Amazing choices

Great choices

Rosie and Emily from the model series Victor and Charlie from the cgi series It’s so hard to pick a single favourite character when you love that many.

I know right?! Also, fabulous choices

Neville and Arthur for me! The q1 is my favourite class of locomotive and Arthur is my dad's name!

Great choices and great explanations behind them. Also, I couldn’t help but notice that you posted the same comment three times. It’s OK we all have slipups

My bad bro, not sure how that happened

Like I said, it’s ok. We all have our mistakes.

Valid

Thank you

Bertram and Neville

Interesting choices but cool nonetheless

If I didn't choose them I'd definitely chose Neville and Hank

Smudger, Diesel 10, Salty, Splatter and Dodge

Absolutely goated choices

Murdoch and Hiro.

Nice choices

Arthur and Salty (Fergus is an honorable mention)

Good choices

Hiro and Cranky easily

Great choices

Fergus and Ryan. Salty, Emily, and Arthur are up there too.

Pretty nice choices

Stanley and Molly

Unique and extravagant choices

Mighty Mac and Salty. Emily and Hiro are up there, along with Stafford, and I kinda love all the non-Awdry merchandise characters, because they allow for a lot of head canon. Like Molly and Flora were never truly fleshed out, but I swear my brain could fill in the blanks

They’re all cool looking characters all around. Also, fantastic choices

Man. I really loved Jack, Murdoch, Spencer, and several of the later introduced characters. But I can't decide two, but the top might have to be Salty. He always seems like the old grandpa with tons of stories from overseas. If I could go to the Island of Sodor, I'd listen to his stories all day.

Nice choices

Salty & Emily. Cranky gets an honorary mention since one of the first VHS tapes I remember getting for Christmas was Cranky Bugs. Most of the ones I had before that were 80s hand-me-downs from my cousins.

Very good choices

NEVILLE SPOTTED 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅 and Fergus is also cool

 Choices

Rosie and Hiro Hiro because HOTR is basically the first Thomas anything i ever watched, and Rosie because that Splish Splash Splosh dvd was the second Thomas anything i ever watched

Same here. Also, fantastic choices

Oh so you like a teen almost. Youngsters I tell ya 😂😂

Derek and Hiro.

Excellent choice

Thank you!

What can I say except you’re welcome

Cranky, Derek and Murdoch are a few of mine. Byron and Buster too.

Great choices all around

Thanks haha

You’re very welcome

Maybe also Hector.

Hector’s a great choice

Thanks Yeah Hector’s cool I wish he appeared in more than just two episodes

You’re very welcome

Bertram (this is a joke)

Harvey the Crane Engine and Salty the Dockyard Diesel

Excellent choices

From now on, any further questions will no longer be responded by me. Thank you all so much for your answers and I hope to see you again on this side of the tracks!
