Main Roles Available (for now) For Railway Series Redubs (Getting Rebooted)
Project Overview
The Railway Series is a series of children's books about the railways of the fictional Island of Sodor. The books were created by the Rev. W. Awdry, who wrote the first stories in 1943. He wrote twenty-six books from 1945 to 1972. A further sixteen books were written by his son Christopher Awdry. The final book in the series, Thomas and his Friends, was published in 2011.
This will be a redub series for that, though they'll be rewritten into scripts for it

Look at me! I am the latest diesel, highly sprung, and right up to date. You won't want Thomas' bumpy old Annie and Clarabel now.
This is dreadfully smelly! I'm highly sprung and anything smelly is bad for my swerves!
Thank you, sir! I will work hard, sir. Toby says he'll help me.

Do you mind?
A good name. They’re terrors when they start buzzing ‘round.
Some engines say we diesels are no earthly use whatsoever. But Gordon thinks I saved his life. He says I'm very clever!
Bear, originally known by his number, Diesel 7101, is a green (originally blue) mixed-traffic diesel engine who works on the Main Line. His name comes from the growling noises his engine makes, which makes him sound like a bear.

This helps a little engine to feel that, at last, he has really come home.
As you were saying, Culdee. You had two coaches on your trial trip? Do you ever take more?
