What if...

What if Rusty was female in the US dub?

That would have just been wrong on so many levels

What if Donald and Douglas were in their blue liveries starting with Season 3 and their nameplates stayed on their smokeboxes instead of moving to their boilers?

It would have been more like TUGS and gotten more popular.

No voice actors: What a baby show!
Voice actors: What a popular show!

What if Emily was introduced in the Reverend's era of the RWS and in Season 3 of the TV Series?

She might not be called Emily, she might not be green, and she'd probably have a more motherly persona

Why would she not be called "Emily" or be green? She could've looked more like the original Stirling Single.

I was referring to the character in general meaning she would still be called Emily and would still be a green stirling single.

Well if Emily was made by a different chosen, the odds make it ridiculously unlikely that she would be called "Emily". Or, to a lesser extent, for her to be green.

What if Pip and Emma were in the TV Series?

-Brenner: "They ARE... Wait, I guess that episode isn't out yet huh?"

What if George Carlin had stayed to narrate the US dub of Seasons 5-7?

It would've been better than Baldwin and Brandon, and I would've still based my voice on his in the Hebrew fandubs.

When I tried to impersonate Baldwin for "Toby's Discovery", my voice became weird and slightly harder to understand, so I cancelled it until further notice. I think I might have at least one episode be narrated by someone else.

What if Stepney's appearances in Seasons 5-6 took place during his visit in Season 4?

Then Sir Topham Hatt wouldn't have gone to his shed in Stepney gets lost, rather to Tidmouth.

Then it would have made sense.

What if Thomas had an adult party spin-off with humor based off of South Park?

I... what?

I highly doubt an adult-oriented TTTE show would work unless it focused on the humans. But that still doesn't bear thinking about, does it?

What if Hit kept making TTTE episodes until the end of time?

It might've been able to outlast The Simpsons, and would've received even more international recognition.

What if characters were heard speaking Sudric in the show?

It wouldn't be that understandable.

What if Duke was to return to the series? How should his first episode back be like? Should they address why he wasn't seen in a while, or just dive right in?

It would probably be a big surprise with him bring brought to the sheds under a tarp. Then once he's unloaded onto the narrow gauge tracks, the tarp will come off and show Duke. And an explanation for his absence, perhaps he was away in Wales for an extensive overhaul.

I predict Duke would return without an explanation for his absence like all the other returnees.

I wish that's how they'd execute it. Especially if the other NG engines would say they missed him or something.

Or, what if he were to become part of Robert Norramby's estate?

He could take passengers from the Skarloey Railway to Sir Robert's railway.
