What do you mean by that?

I mean, I'd like the to be models.

I really want to see Bear, Frank, Jock, Culdee Fell Engines and Victoria to appear in CGI.

Yes, definitely. Bear needs to be there. Frank and Jock are obvious ones now that the other 3 Arlesdale engines are being in SLOTLT. I keep saying Culdee Fell should. Victoria - awesome.

I think Frank would be a good idea too... So that there is a diesel on the Arlesdale railway.

I actually mentioned him:

So with the three main small engines now coming to the TV series, it looks like this thread is now mainly for discussing:

Bear
Neil
Jock and Frank
Sixteen
Foreign Engine
Wilbert
Culdee Fell engines and coaches
D199
Pip and Emma
98462 and 87546
Works Diesel
Ivo Hugh
Isabel and Dulcie
Alice and Mirabel
Old Stuck Up
Fred
Victoria
Albert
Ada, Jane and Mabel
Agnes, Ruth, Jemima, Lucy and Beatrice
Cora
Gertrude and Millicent

I'd like to see Fred appear. I feel he would cause mischief, but side with the engines to an extent.

I would like to see the narrow gauge coaches and brakevans appear; they would certainly open up more possibilities to the series.

Now, if the Claw in Toad Stands By ISN'T D10, then that means he could be discussed here, too.

The what now?

Anyway, you know the first picture of "Edward's Day Out" with six engines in the shed? The green one isn't Henry! Henry was in the tunnel at the time! So we can discuss the green engine too!

Yup!

Toz, in Toad Stands By (Railway Series version), there is a mysterious Claw in one of the pictures that picks up S. C. Ruffey's remains. People have speculated that The Claw is D10's, but we don't know for sure.

Interesting... I will have to see that picture for myself. I never noticed that before

Obviously it's not D10's. He came some 40 years later!

Here is the image. The claw is in the upper left corner.

SUPPORTIVE aspects -
Scruffey seems to be fearful of the claw.
DETRIMENTAL aspects -
Oliver and Sir Topham seem the least bit fazed.

1) The claw is black. D10's is grey.
2) There are no rail lines there.
3) D10 was created by Mitton and Allcroft AFTER AWDRY DIED!
4) By that point, Scruffey was dead. His face was fixed in place.

Reasons why it is:

1. We don't know for sure.
2. Awdry came first, so we can say it is, only he wasn't introduced then.
3. Thomas called D10 the blast from the past, so this could have been when D10 caused trouble the first time on Sodor.
4. It just looks like his claw!!

Actually, the Wikia suggests the theory that in the third season Alice and Mirabel were depicted as Red Express coaches. In the Episode Bulgy, he tells his coaches to come on suggesting that these coaches actually are sentient. Isabel and Dulcie share a similar case as well being depicted as Red Branch Line coaches that Oliver is seen taking with him. In a sense they are a part of the TV Series, but I thought this was interesting and besides Duck doesn't take usually take them on his line anyway. Here are the links to provide evidence of this:

Alice and Mirabel: http://ttte.wikia.com/wiki/Alice_and_Mirabel

Isabel and Dulcie: http://ttte.wikia.com/wiki/Isabel_and_Dulcie

Interesting theory; it would be nice to have the auto-coaches, to be honest

A few things we can be sure we are getting in the near future:
- Bear - If that poll is anything to go by, welcome to CGI, Bear! Can't wait to see what the team does with him.
- Culdee Fell Engines - Maybe not now, but eventually. Maybe when they get up to Mountain Engines in the Railway Series special like "The Adventure Begins".
- Neil - Because if Glynn can show up, so can he dangit.

Other than that, it's anyone's game.

I think they should develop Arlesdale more before we do Culdee Fell.  After all, we are still missing Frank and Jock.

Let's not also forget; Reverend Awdry himself couldn't come up with too many stories, because so few incidents happening a mountain railway

Well, I'd just like to see them puffing up and down and whatnot, sort of like I just like seeing D10.

So it would seem right now, the consensus is we want to see Jock, Frank, Bear and the Culdee Fell engines next?

I think so.

Now, I hope the television series introduces more railway series characters to the CGI series. I hope this is a trend.

I think it is. We'll see old outsiders in the Great Race.
