Neatolinks: Baby It's Cold Outside

very interesting post. What SciFi does well is its diversity, a SF writer can write anything from crime fiction to fantasySciFi

"Even more inexplicably it’s not uncommon to see two engines being used to transport one freight car. This level of inefficiency is simply insane. The Island of Sodor isn’t that big. There’s just no reason why one engine can’t be used to haul multiple cars."

That's easy; all the engines are very eager to be useful. Usefulness is a major concern on the island of Sodor.

If you have the version narrated by Ringo Starr Sir Toppam Hat is called the Fat Controller, so in Ringo's Sodor it's not all riches and glory for the boss. My wife can't stand Alec Baldwin, so it was Ringo or no Thomas for the children. :-)
