American steam engines are always huge, it must be their philosophy, their whistles and diesel horns sound different too.

[Hal9000ize]

Get fucked hank!

[TheUnknownAvenger]

This is a nice concept for a story, but Hank is yet another example of a one time character introduced by HiT Entertainment. They appear in one story and never appear in any stories after that.

[MrConordillon]

is this cgi because it looks like a combination of cgi and stop motion

[jayo1212]

@0:54 "He looked very tall..." Yeah, taller than the British Loading Gauge would allow! Maybe that's why he was only in one episode...

[Trainspotter8824]

I also think it would be cool to have a black engine on Sodor, since other nationalities have been represented, like Japanese ( hiro). and American ( Hank and Rosie)

[jayo1212]

@Trainspotter8824 Don't forget Victor and the Misty Island engines, as they are American engines, too!

[samir339257]

anyone notice at 6:32 Henry has gordon smiley face.

[SegaMario]

@DraqNaq2011 They had many Black people before, didn't you notice? Even the Mayor (who looked kinda like Mr. T) was Black.

[mj6568]

Sorry I meant to say season 12 not 13.

[mj6568]

I wish they would use Rosie and hank a bit more rather than in few episodes because although they are American they did role play in season 13 and Horrid Hector when Rosie got scared off by Hector because he refused to be shunted.

[sitp2]

American Steam Engines Rule!!! It maybe an english K4 Pennsy but I dont care, we rule.

[93DOL]

Waste of money really making a model of Hank and only putting him into one episode

[Naylte]

Isn't the first time Thomas got his jobs mixed up.

[ChapterElevenStudios]

I hate the new episodes with CGI. Just doesnt have the same charm.

[railfanatic844]

if hanks an american whistle, and a modeled K4, it should have a PRR chime

[Zorran202]

It's surprising how MA manages to pull off a stereotypical american voice :P

[TTTEpisodes1]

@Zorran202 Rather badly, I might add XD

[MovieMan1065]

@TTTEpisodes1 I agree. Angelis sounds great with his English accents, but he sounds very silly trying to do an American style voice.

Also, I find it very silly how they have engines from around the world, be it American (Hank, Bash, and Dash), Japanese (Hiro), and Cuban (Victor). I liked it better when things were simple and had only British engines, with the only overseas engines being Donald, Douglas, and Duncan (all from Scotland). Introducing all those unnecessary characters is very silly.

[boffinme80]

@MovieMan1065 I'd like to see an engine from Australia. I wonder how Michael Angelis would do an Aussie accent XD

[GeneralLeeStudios]

@TTTEpisodes1 eh its not as bad as u think..... there are southern people that talk worse than that

[jayo1212]

@TTTEpisodes1 Well, almost as good as George Carlin doing a Scottish accent, which, as bad as it may be, is rather amusing to listen to...

[J50Tank8905]

@TTTEpisodes1 Best type of Hank voice (I think) is someone who is or can speak American English!

[NWB1989]

@Zorran202 Michael Brandon does a better Hank, although he's American like Hank.

[dankerthanclanker]

Britt alcroft shout go and die.... seriously.... Someone made a right mess when they said "durr CGI IZ COOL DURP!!!"

And american engines? ...*Sigh*...get the hell out.

[startug]

@dankerthanclanker Maybe you are the dumbass. HELLO? It's HIT ENTERTAINMENT! It's not Britt doing this, she quit years ago. And other country engines are fine. They imported Hank. So you shut the fuck up and get out.

[startug]

@dankerthanclanker Nah, Britt may have had some screw ups, but Seasons 1-4 were great, and season 14 is kind of enjoyable.

[dankerthanclanker]

@startug 1-4 definatly my favorites.

i think those were the ones where tim staffel made the models.

[startug]

@dankerthanclanker Those were my favorites too, everything after that sucked until Season 14, when it improved.

[dankerthanclanker]

@startug Yeah, though the stories are very watery now.

[darthassassin47559]

@dankerthanclanker and @startug

guys, season 14 hasn't even com out yet.

To keep a friendly air, seasons 1-5 were definitely my favs. 1-2 seemed to be the most plot based (meaning RWS based) and seasons 2-5 just had good overall episodes, especially "Trust Thomas"

[dankerthanclanker]

@darthassassin47559

I am the only one here thinking "How sad are we? Arguing over Thomas the tank engine"

[darthassassin47559]

@dankerthanclanker Not really. I like to point people out on facts. Makes me a bit of an ass, but I can live with it. For one, Britt Alcroft left producer status for the series after the Magic Railroad came out, because it did so bad box office wise. But Thomas certainly did NOT do bad under her. Look at season 3. Plenty of episodes there were partially written by her, and season 5 was almost completely done by her. THOSE SEASONS ROCKED.

[boffinme80]

@dankerthanclanker Britt made the original episodes you twat. Right from when Ringo Starr narrated so that is NOT a pitiful attempt whatsoever. You obviously aren't a true fan, you just came on here to troll.

HIT are the ones who fucked up the series and created the CGI advance so shut your mouth before making stupid assumptions.

[dankerthanclanker]

@boffinme80 I am aware of this, But she also did the newer stories.

"You obviously aren't a true fan" ...... Think about that sentence..... Think about the program we're talking about. You obviously haven't had many girlfriends.

And you'll forgive me, For not taking the opinion of a youtube account holder with no uploads seriously.

And it was Britt who gave it to hit..

Also, If you think this trolling, You have no idea about trolling or flaming.

I can do a much better job than that too.

[boffinme80]

@dankerthanclanker What the fuck has girlfriends got to do with it? Stick to the subject you tard. And who cares if I didn't have that many, it's much better than being known as a slapper.

[Zorran202]

I was just surprised that Michael A was able to pull off an American stereo-typical accent :P

[atomictrain513]

4:43 : MARON!?! I can't believe that is the very same station that James crashed into the tar wagons.

[HankAmericanEngine]

@atomictrain513 Doesn't look like it. . .

[Lightninging63]

@HankAmericanEngine It was remodelled, I think.

I prefer this Maron to the other one tho

[Lightninging63]

Anyone notice, that at 6:34, Henry looks to be wearing one of Gordon's faces, and Percy looks like he has his sad face on? just seemed kinda wierd there...

[HankAmericanEngine]

@Lightninging63 It's a goof.
