Some abandoned characters

[TrainFan97]

BoCo was a great diesel character who was introduced in season 2 of the show. He was in a few episodes of season 3. He was in season 4, never spoke there, but he did make cameos. The last time we ever saw BoCo was in season 5, Double Teething Troubles, which introduced another diesel engine who also never came back, Derek. Too bad BoCo left the show after that episode. It's like that Derek is a one-off character, like Splatter and Dodge. Derek would've been a great character to have on the show.

Derek did make a small cameo in a Calling All Engines music video. I would like a petition to make both BoCo and Derek to return to the show. HiT Entertainment took over, and ruined everything. They introduce countless amounts of new characters, and abandon the older ones. Some people say that Emily replaced Duck. Maybe it's because there were people who thought the show needed a major female character, so they'd stop thinking the show is sexist or something. How many new characters do they need to have?

The big question is, whatever happened to BoCo? Whatever happened to Derek? They're both obscure and abandoned. They must return. I don't want them to be forgotten like Duke! What also puzzles me is that they did bring back Diesel 10, but they never brought back Splodge. Daisy was in Calling All Engines, but she never spoke. Maybe they should bring her back as well.

It's also too bad that the show won't return to the old style. The classic episodes were creative and were not very childish compared to what we have now!

Yes! finally I find someone who isn't a big fan of the new animation. I would have been okay with the season 12 style of the actual models but animation faces but they changed everything. Honestly I don't thing Boco will be coming back sadly

Anybody know where the original thomas models went?

[TrainFan97]

Surprisingly, there is a Tomy BoCo. Hopefully, Bachmann could make BoCo someday in the future.

I hope Bachmann wont model the characters from the new animation. I hope its from the old models. In my opinion it would look better

They must keep doing classic characters. They must be from seasons 2-7. I don't want characters from the new show, either.

Some are at Nitrogen Studios, where the CGI series was produced, others are on display at Drayton Manor in the U.K

[TrainFan97]

They're now in museums, where they will never be used again.

I've been told by an ex-worker for the series that the ones that arent on display at Drayton Manor, Thomas Land Japan and Nitrogen are in storage, some in Canada some in the UK...

Thats odd, I don't understand why they all arent in one place. I wonder why some are in Canada. Nitrogen and Drayton Manor are both in England correct?

[mrrailroad]

I think but Im not sure

Nitrogen is in Canada, Drayton is in the U.K. I believe.

darn! I thought I had that right

[Zorran202]

I was really hoping that all of the models should've been on display, after all, the model series is history, so it would've at least give nostalgia to some of us that grew up with the classics......

Thomas and Friends will never be the same again... How sad.
