Thomas The Tank Engine Scraps A Couple Of Friends

In a bow to inclusion and globalism, Thomas the Tank Engine is going to replace fellow boy trains Henry and Edward with Nia, an orange girl train from Africa and Rebecca, a yellow girl train.

Mattel, who owns the rights to Thomas the Tank Engine, wants to send Thomas to Africa as part of a campaign to support African development.

  1. Both Ringo Starr and George Carlin were narrators on earlier versions of Thomas The Tank Engine from 1989-95. I remember that from watching it with my kids when they were little. They were known as Mr. Conductor and the program was called Shining Time Station and was on PBS on Sunday mornings.

  2. Although not mentioned in the article, there is another new engine named Harvey. If Nia and Rebecca can’t stay on schedule or are given prime routes for no apparent reason other than smudged lipstick, Harvey probably has something to do with it.

  3. I was hoping for Eagle Feather the American Indian.
    Aren’t we all surprised they picked someone from Africa
    I gotta say I didn’t see that coming.
    Next they are going to change all pictures of Jesus to a black man.
    I would say Santa too, but they will eliminate Santa completely
