Stories That Could of Been Adapted in the TV Series

Gordon. He's the closest they have...

It makes him look determined actually. He wants to prove his point, so he tries to. And since when would Diesel care about that?

And again, Bowler would just be a waste. Making a model, or even modifying one, just for one episode seems ridiculous.

Actually, I'd love to see The Diesel return.

Why would they choose not to have him though? And before you say its hard to model stuff, SLOTLT was almost COMPLETELY new models and sets!

Except SLOTLT was CGI; I was referring to Season 6, which was all models.

Also, for the record, CGI is hard to model. SLOTLT probably took a long time to make too. And out of all characters to return, it doesn't make sense for The Diesel to when there's many better choices.

Before we get too far off with this discussion

So if the four Mountain Engines stories were to be adapted, do you think that would be it for Culdee Fell? (Given that not even Awdry himself could come up with more than one book on the railway)

I'm not sure; it's possible they'll think of something.

Well, SiF certainly could 'think of something' in the ERS.

The Culdee Fell would look interesting in CGI.

Here's an interesting point:

Would the CFR engines still all be purple, or have different colors?

So there is:

Wilfred
Ernest
Culdee
Shane Dooiney
Patrick
Alaric
Eric

I think, if each were given a unique color, Culdee would stay purple and the rest would change colors. Anyone think differently?

Maybe. But I'm fine with them if they were to stay purple if they were introduced.

But they wouldn't. They'd need to be individualized for merch.

To be fair though, Ertl did release Godred, Lord Harry and Culdee as they were in the book, and no one said anything bad.

True but things have changed since the days of ERTL.

DDT6 I meant models as in CGI models. DUH!

I think it would actually be a good move: If Rheneas is hard to distinguish from Peter Sam, than SURELY it would be hard to distinuish them. They're all two different models!

As for not having The Diesel...really? He has a lot of potential? How?

As for the Culdee Fell Railway gaining different colors, I don't care that much either way to be honest.

Because I assumed no one was stupid enough to not get it!

You do realize I was referring to Season 6 in my first post about this, not SLOTLT, right?

Also, that's quite rude to say.

The diesel was just a one off; I don't think there is much more the writers can do with him

Yeah that's pretty much my thoughts.

All 4 of the RWS evil diesels (Im looking at you Diesel!) should never/never have be[en] introduced.

I think that he could have a redemption scene.

Yeah... no. They gave Diesel at least 2 attempts at redemption, and failed both. 

Unfortunately, some weirdo in season 9 decided Diesel was permanently on Sodor, so thats that.

No, no, no, not Diesel, The Diesel. As in, the one from Bowled Out.

I know.

Im just saying that the same things gonna happen with THE Diesel. We dont want him back, and making a model for one episode is stupid.
