David Jackson
Reminder that Thomas had to be redubbed in English (American).
Lincoln Gomez
Autistic males like trains
Carter Baker
why the fuck would you replace ringo?
Dominic Richardson
I'd guess that the combination of being colourful, the model work, the narration style and general simplicity of the stories (they were after all based on stories told by the Rev. Awdry to his son who was ill with measles) all adds up to be an incredibly enjoyable to people on the spectrum.
Austin Ramirez
They didn't want to have to put subtitles on it.
Liam Perez
Autists love Ringo Starr.
Nolan Morales
Big expressive faces leave no doubt as to how the trains are feeling, making it easy to follow along
Juan Morgan
They didn't at first, they just had Ringo redo a few lines for American audiences
Grayson Harris
We got George Carlin, so that's nice
Lincoln Adams
As an autistic male I can confirm. Trains are neat.
Brody Wright
He goes around in circles his whole life just like them.
Hudson Lopez
I think it's a combination of these
Elijah Perry
for whatever reason Trains are often popular with people with Autism(I'm sure someone has done a study on this or something), so taking that and adding a touch of humanity to the mix probably just increases the appeal
also it probably helps that the older stuff in The Railways Series(both books and the earlier shows and toys) were rather high quality products for their intended age group
Dylan Lewis
trains
Charles Young
Didn't know I would bring this out of storage
Brandon Morgan
One reason only
The color blue
Jordan Bailey
Can't find a fault in this logic.
Gabriel Stewart

Christopher Jackson
But why?
Jackson Jones

Josiah Miller
Shout out to the guy who owns the original James.
Mason Cook

Chase Gray
They had to, he did the first two seasons while he was a barely functional alcoholic then sobered up and decided to ditch the show and go on tour with his All-Starr band. They replaced him with another Brit in the UK and we got Carlin in the US.
Brody Lopez
It never occurred to me that they would be small.
Joseph Hall
I've always thought of them as small. There's a few scenes in the later CGI series where they experimenting more with camera angles like showing things from the Fat Controller's viewpoint and it's uncanny how massive they look.
Thomas Thompson
It really depends on what scale they're shooting. The normal size is 1/32 scale, then there some at 1/16 scale to be used when working with engines that are supposed to be smaller, and then some larger models that are used for close ups with the larger human figures.
Grayson Garcia
god this pic truly captures the golden era, Ringo with the original classic looks of the characters
Grayson Scott
good to know
