Goodbye and Hello

Can't say I'm very happy about it, losing classic characters Edward and Henry is a tragedy, they changed all the bio information on the back of the wood cards too and totally changed all the engine's personalities to basically all be helpful and kind, even James

That's about the worst thing I think too!!
One of the reasons I chose this genre was that each character was based on every negative type human personality trait!! Lol Every lesson on navigating human relationships and dealing with all the various types of people there are in this world was played out though trains interacting with one another. The characters did not practice politically correctness, rather they exposed their flaws, and in doing so taught lessons about how not to behave and what the consequences might be if one did.
