Well, actually there are railroad crossings, but they are foot-crossings, and at least they come with gates, which are black and yellow, and that's better than nothing. Mind you, this is all just my opinion, none of you have to agree with me, this is all just my personal opinion and I don't expect everyone to agree with me. What I don't like about Chuggington, there are no railroad crossings like I thought and hoped there'd be. However, to be honest, this cartoon wasn't what I thought it would be or expected it to be and is not much better than Thomas. It's so great to have another train-based cartoon show in addition to Thomas.

And I was longing to watch the cartoon (I didn't want to until I was emotionally ready) and excited to. I did hear about Chuggington in 2010 but didn't start watching it until summer. But other than that, Thomas is a cool show. Well, that's just my opinion and that's what my fan art is for. Though they are accurate and true to the show, I kind of do wish the crossings (called "Level Crossings,") had different warning devices, like bi-striped gates that go down and back up, I prefer those to the gates that swing like doors, and flashing light signals. I also like the railroad crossings, well, that there are railroad crossings in Thomas the Tank Engine, that's my most favorite thing about trains and railroads, admittedly I have a bit of an obsession with them. touch to it (I've never been to England but I lived in Germany and saw and rode the trains there, in fact that's where I started watching Thomas when it was on Cartoon Network. And I like the setting, not really the time but the place and how the show is physically designed, be nice to take a trip to Sodor Island. I've been watching Thomas the Tank Engine since I was in 4th grade (1995,) but didn't see Thomas and Friends until 2012. But how do I explain it? And I want to keep this to the point because I tend to write long messages and say more than I need to or mean to. Thomas seems to take place more back in the olden days, like back in the 1920s-40s, while Chuggington is more modern.Īlthough I like these two shows because they have to do with trains, and I'm a huge rail-fan and like almost anything trains, there's something missing to me in both series. I'm not sure which one I like better, Thomas or Chuggington. I also do like Chuggington but not all that much. I do like "Thomas the Tank Engine," well I actually prefer "Thomas and Friends," the show with the "They're 2 they're 4, they're 6, they're 8.," because the characters actually talk and move, not just have a narrator saying everything, and I like to see the characters mouths move, I also like Thomas', the "cheeky one's" voice, in fact, and I know I'm not the only one, Thomas is my most favorite of all the engines. I am going to sound like a critic, and nobody likes a critic, so a lot of you are not going to like this message. If you know where this should have been posted, please let me know.ĭon't worry, this is not a hate message, there are some positive things in this, but I am expressing some things I wish were on both Thomas and Chuggington, and suggesting a new animated train show. I came to give my opinoin and view about Thomas the Tank Engine and Chuggington, and share an idea of a new train show, only I wasn't sure where to talk about this, I wasn't sure I should have posted it on this or not so I'm posting a blog about it. (The Title to this blog stinks but I cannot change it)
