Just for fun - your favourite Thomas the Tank names!

[AliciaBotty]

Well I like Alicia Botty, obviously

Turn over one of the little Thomas books so you can see all gazillion characters and post your favourite.

I'm having Toby

[GoodboyBindleFeatherstone]

Thomas the Tank Engine. A tank is a very different mode of transport.

I accept that I might need to get out more.

[GoodboyBindleFeatherstone]

Oh shit, sorry...

I always liked "Duck". I even remember his real name was "Montague". (DS's fault.)

[AliciaBotty]

Oh you pedant!

I know more than I ever wanted to know about steamies, diesels, tank engines and trucks thank you very much!

But you can't call a child Duck.

[GoodboyBindleFeatherstone]

No, but you can call a child Montague. And then nickname him Duck.

Well, I could.

[Buscake]

Skarloey. He was always my favourite.

[AliciaBotty]

Yes, how come that never pops up on here? Skarloey and Persephone would make a darling sibset.

[Buscake]

Also a special mention to Bertie the Bus. A toy of him I bought from a car boot sale for £1 was my daughters best friend for a long time!

[AliciaBotty]

Ah, now Bertie is a cute name.

[LadyHattOfSodor]

Rheneas

[Finola1step]

Percy

[sidsgranny]

Elizabeth. Because DS couldn't say it and used to call her Ebibeebuth instead. (strangely he was going to be Elizabeth if he'd been a girl)

[IWannaHoldYourHand]

Ds2 pronounces Elizabeth as Elizabus. He gets cross that they made her the wrong engine.

I'd have a Hiro.

[hlc123]

I've got a Flynn whose favourite Thomas character is Flynn the Fire engine

[DocHudson]

Madge!

[TinkerbellTrains]

I'd love a Diesel. That'd be cool for a boy.

Clarabel for a girl. (Do carriages count?)

[DrRanjLovesPoo]

You don't come across many baby Gordons nowadays do you?

[LynetteScavo]

James the Red Engine has always been my favourite.
