Now I'm wondering about Thomas with a spark arrestor? I'd suppose it would make since the E2's were known to spew molten coals out of their funnels. XD
Imagine if "Slippy Sodor" was written about Thomas having a spark arrestor during the dry season, but he hated it like he had-
-his snowplow, but he couldn't get rid of it that easy. Jibes and teasing from the other engines wouldn't have helped matters, especially with the engines likening Thomas to old American engines, asking him if he was "going cowboy."
Funny idea, British engines with spark-
-arrestors could be likened to people wearing cowboy hats because they'd give off the American vibes lol
Be interesting for a rewrite, whaddaya guys think?
