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.
I guess it’s all for the best for Henry anyway. He’s had a traumatic life. [ Watch Here or Here]
Next up: Thomas gets it right in the coal chute:

Thomas in Africa: Muslim No-Go Zones!
No Trans-Thomas?
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.
What no Quinton the rainbow train?
I loved it in the Marvel Ant Man movie when Ant Man made Thomas real big and come crashing thru the house chasing the bad guys.
I’m sure there is a joke in there somewhere…something about the African Nia and Thomas burning coal and running a train. I’m just too lazy to put it together.
My grandson wants Thomas the Train for his birthday. Nope.
Gosh. Then it’s an Dim Sum Train and the Trump Train?
Do they still make large scale O gauge Lionel train sets?
Yay! They’ve won over the lesbian train aficionado set. Little girls? Not so much.
Thomas finally gets a couple of cabooses that he don’t mind bumpin’…
So when the African trains never show up for work on time, what then?
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.
How long before new character Mohammed The Crazy Train beheads a conductor?
Try and say Percy’s name with your tongue out.
Nunya Bidness ==> No trans Thomas but the newest character will be a TRAINsexual.
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
