    The fact that Edward is usually protrayed as the oldest when he was only built in 1896 while there are characters older than him who look and sound younger is honestly surprising.

    Interesting fact for y'all: Stephen did actually appear in The Railway Series in the book "Thomas and The Great Railway Show". Just without a speaking role due to being faceless. I actually think that was the first ever faceless engine Thomas came across, so he was probably confused.
    Anyway... That was a Fact about Stephen in terms of his appearances in Thomas and Friends. I hope everyone enjoyed this and has an awesome day/night wherever you are in the world.

    Usually I would consider Edward, Skarloey, Rheneas, Neil, Glynn or Duke to be the more oldest engines since any one of them were the first engine to arrive on Sodor.
    Flying Scotsman and Rex are also 100 years old as of recently this year.

  • @digstrememcdingus1463
    @digstrememcdingus1463 7 місяців тому +18

    Want to know the funniest thing, Thomas is Older than Gordon,
    his model (more specifically, the second batch of said model he's from) was built in 1915, the year he arrived in a wartime incident and due to both his driver and fireman marrying local ladies and being written off as lost in the war by Britain, he was quietly sold to Sir Topham Hatt.
    Gordon (like Henry) meanwhile was built between 1920-21 as a prototype design for Sir Nigel Gresley's A1 Pacific Design but didn't arrive in Sodor until after 1923, having been used in engineering experiments and defects were cured amongst him and his brothers, not so for Henry but you get the picture.
    I learned this from the Thomas Wiki on the RWS page

      @cellbuilder2 7 місяців тому +3

      I'm pretty certain that out of the main numbered cast (1-11), Thomas is the third oldest, and only a few years younger than the venerable Toby.
      I still wonder why the model-era TaF team never fully capitalized on the potential of a mature, thoughtful, and insightful side to Thomas. One similar to Edward and Skarloey.
      Sure, he could have kept his cheeky side, but instead that could have stemmed from his surprising age and experience. Not to mention that all his siblings were eventually scrapped, so his cheeky side could be a way to cope with that.

    • @Karagianis
      @Karagianis 3 місяці тому +2

    If you add in the diesel locomotives you will see that they are 100-190 years younger than Stephen 1829. 150 years younger than him is the HST Twins Pip and Emma 1979.

    @CosmicOffical why didn't you mention the ffestinog railway which is the true home of the Double Fairlies. They still operate several of them throughout the year?

    Blud really ignored sans pareil and novelty , who are technically canon here, since they made a cameo in King of the railway.

    I don't think Iron Duke counts, since it's the replica that appears in the book, not the original. That means he was built in 1985.
