moimeme Nov 17, 2005	NEVER would have guessed it, even though I know the series. Clever. The hint made me think of colors. T = teal, but I couldn't get very far. NEAT

boodler Nov 20, 2005	The island of Sodor is actually the Isle of Man, which is where I live, and where the film was made, but I'm a bit too old to know the answer.
gaiapeach1 Nov 20, 2005	I got it! I guess playing trains with my son is teaching me something, too.
paul726 Feb 21, 2006	Very good, but my kids are a bit too old for me to even remember all of the trains names, if, indeed, I'd ever knew them all.
spinnercat Sep 26, 2007	No way I could get that, too hard...
