This character was the very first character to exclusively appear in the CGI series (until 2022).
Hiro, Master of the Railway
Sir Topham Hatt isn't the only man with "Sir" in his name, he has a friend who's traveled the world that has "Sir" in his name too.
Sir Robert Noramby.
This episode is infamously hated for making James look quite funny and girly in his bright undercoat.
Tickled Pink
Despite changing a bit in the CGI series, this important character's TOMY has not changed a bit since its release.
Toby
As much as many people hate this foreign engine, we can't change the fact that she's a member of the steam team.
Nia
This popular narrow-gauge engine got the short end of the stick in the CGI era compared to how he did in the classic era. He's probably going to complain about it, knowing who he is.
Duncan
Who would have thought that Sir Topham Hatt has a brother that looks just like him? He even has a similar name, which is this..
Lowham Hatt
These Brenner era episodes are quite famous for being the only CGI 2 parter episode with the same title.
Diesel's Ghostly Christmas
Lexi and Hurricane
This Italian shunter surprisingly got some recognition in the BWBA era, despite her just being short of last place in the shunting competition.
Gina the Italian Tank Engine
This poor narrow-gauge engine was meant to appear in an early CGI episode with his two cheeky friends, but never did. He continues to be a RWS and Classic era exclusive character.
Duke
Just when you thought you'd never see him again, he returns with his fog detonators, only to disappear back into the fog almost immediately.
Ceril the Fogman
This episode introduced two a new crane to Sodor's dockside and gave an old one we've known for years a name and a face.
New Crane on the Dock
This merchandise range is interesting for having their own version of Thomas working at the steelworks known as "Steelworks Thomas."
Trackmaster 2/Revolutions
Ettienne the Diesel Electric
It seems like every member of the steam team's whistle changed a tad bit when moving to the CGI era, but none got a greater change than these two standard gauge engines.
Rex, Mike, and Bert are unique for being CGI and RWS characters who did not appear in the classic series, much like their controller.
Mr. Fergus Duncan
This was the first ever full CGI episode of Thomas released on October 26th, 2009, which had Cranky as the leading role.
Creaky Cranky
This CGI exclusive narrow-gauge engine is unique for being the only narrow-gauge engine in the CGI series to NOT have motorized merchandise.
Millie
This Aussie bloke will help you learn a lot about Australia, much like he did to Thomas.
Shane the Australian Engine
Luke isn't the only CGI exclusive narrow-gauge engines; he even shared a leading role with this other engine!
Millie
Alecia Botty
We've seen engines with wacky whistles before, but this episode gave Trevor a new whistle, and he wasn't even the main character of this Brenner era episode; it was Merlin!
Seeing is Believing
Rebecca and Conner
This character was the only oil powered diesel to participate in the Great Railway Show but came last place in his competition.
Ivan the Russian Diesel
