@LNER_60009 I think it makes total sense for S7 to take place between 1967-69, but it seems the end of S3, S5 S6, would also make most sense taking place in 1967, if they’re in a chronological order of events which is a little funny imo. Extremely eventful year for sodor if that’s the case.
@LNER_60009 Yes s7 in my headcanon starts in 1967, but likely ends around 1969. Bulgy only arrived in 1968 so Bulgy Rides Again would probably take place anywhere between 68 and 69.
@SodorCentral_ Thye were definitely utilizing the advantages of CGI this episode. If it were done in with the models, it would’ve been funny in another way since the faces would have to switch from one to another. The crew wouldve had fun sculpting the new expressions tho lol.
@LNER_60009 I have a head canon somewhat related to this. S7 starts in 1967. In Emily’s New Coaches, Oliver breaks down, which would make sense if he was newly restored. The S7 newbies basis were also withdrawn around this time like Arthur and Murdoch. Bulgy had his accident in 1968 ->
@ThomasTheorist Honestly I think between S3 and S6 they should’ve just adapted Thomas & the evil diesel. It would give them a reason to have Diesel in so many episodes.
@ThomasTheorist Yeah, but I feel like that happens very rarely and even in this pic u can barely make out what is being reflected. I think the engines pop more on camera with gloss.
