Today, October 9th, 2024, marks the 40th anniversary of the beloved children’s show Thomas and Friends being aired on TV. Whether through the early model episodes retelling The Railway Series books written by Rev. W. Awdry or the CGI adventures, the series has captured the hearts of fans of all ages. For many, including myself, Thomas has been more than just a show—it’s been a source of inspiration, creativity, and comfort.
The stories of friendship, adventure, hard work, perseverance and many other life lessons have resonated across generations, sparking the imaginations of countless fans. Many of us found ourselves sharing our love by creating our own stories, fan art, writing, or even making homemade episodes. Thomas taught us valuable life lessons while also connecting us through the characters we came to know and love today.
Though some fans may struggle to embrace ALL ENGINES GO!, it's still airing. For those of us who grew up with the original series, the episodes and characters we treasure will always be there to revisit, reminding us of the joy and lessons they brought to our lives.
As we celebrate 40 years of Thomas and Friends, we honor a legacy that continues to inspire and connect us across generations.
