One more Thomas tidbit from STS Season 1. They also created this document for all the TTTE stories included in each episode of STS S1 with ep outlines, themes, & suggestions for the STS episodes - a highlight being a suggestion that @HulkHogan guest star in E1 to contrast Mr. C๐Ÿ˜‚

Itโ€™s so heartwarming to see everyoneโ€™s excitement over these! Context: I found them in 2 boxes of the complete STS scripts (soon to be digitized). They were included as part of the Americanization of Thomas for STS. These were sent to me by a former crew member for digitization๐Ÿงต

For those curious, hereโ€™s how Iโ€™ve preserved the Thomas ep scripts๐Ÿค“Theyโ€™re in archival sheet protectors with all the rusty staples removed, and ordered chronologically by season. Iโ€™m particularly happy how the spine labels turned out. To be enjoyed for many years to come!๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ’–โœจ

I love a show that takes its time. Here, we see Gordon backing into a siding for about 12 seconds without narration - just puffing. This is part of what makes the early series so appealing to me. It makes the world feel real.

In this shot, they even included rust running down from each rail down into the turntable well. The detail they put into these sets was incredible, especially given their time frame and budget. It made the show real.

Hi friends๐Ÿ’– Iโ€™d like to ask for your prayers for my grandma. Sheโ€™s approaching her 95th birthday & not doing very well, so Iโ€™m hoping I can see her when I go home soon. She taped all of my STS eps for me and fostered a special love. Just got this frame and wanted to honour her๐Ÿ™

โ€œHello? Shining Time Station, Stacy Jones speaking!โ€ One more surprise for yโ€™all. I also bought this restored Western Electric candlestick phone from the same guy who restored the jukebox. While this isnโ€™t the actual prop, itโ€™s an almost identical version to the one used in STS.

STS & TTTE fans: Have you ever wondered about Didi's audition for Stacy? Or how tight security was with a Beatle on set? Join me this Friday for the very first ep of my podcast "Train of Thought" where I sit down with the cast & crew of STS for a reunion 33 years in the making.
