Hmm, my theory is that Thomas is not dead, because his face is not missing. But, it seems to me, Sir Topham Hatt had 2 options, either to restore Thomas, which could hit the finances of the railway very hard, or to send Thomas to Barry Island.
Am I the only one excited to see Dudley in "The Stories of Sodor? Victor Tanzig has a talent for making his own takes on characters, official or original, including Stanley (narrow gauge), Andreas, Alfred, Eric, and Peter to mention a few. So why shouldn't he do Dudley? I'll admit I'm not exactly a fan of Dudley but still.
@pizzaplanettruck9761 Mainly because of Miles Lee dumbass Proposal, basically making Dudley a wise old sage and completely betraying what the original character was about, I told Victor to not use this Proposal and instead to listen to this video, where the only direct story to be adapted would be Demons, Essentially turning him into an SCP like Johnny Cuba.
@pizzaplanettruck9761 A Person who used to give ideas for Victor Tanzig, and the Dudley idea was one of the ideas, after Season 5 ended, he made two critique videos on it (some I agree with, but some others not so much).
You know, I just thought that didn’t Jeffrey die by pulling the flying kipper the same train that killed Mr. Hall’s father which the card dies just like Mr. Hall’s father
