The learning segments are an absolute snooze fest, but they did at the very least give us the absolute masterpiece known as “Toby is surprised to see”, so it was all worthwhile in the end

Thanks to these learning segments it really gives you an idea what the engines look like without needing to say their name

You know I’m just glad that those segments weren’t introduced in Season 6 or 7, cause honestly I don’t think I can take Baldwin narrating the dot to dot or whatever these pointless segments have.

I mostly liked the learning segments for the cute cgi models they used sometimes, they are pretty nice and still hold up I think I agree with you, learning segments with little character studies like the Gordon one are really solid and relate to the show, versus the "Does this oval fit in this truck?" I think my top 3 Learning Segments from over the course of the series would be the difference between thomas and stanley, the thomas happy and sad game, and all of the coal dust games that covered a character in coal dust and it kinda feels like guess who, if these were playable as like a minigame collection they'd be way better

Some of these learning segments still somewhat give me a warm fuzzy feeling while completely stupid I do like some still

I have always liked the look of the 3d learning segments!

How exactly are the Fun Times with Engines segments even "learning segments"? They're clip shows.

The creators COULDN'T make up their mind of what whistle to give emily

What makes the hit era good in my opinion is the crashes

*_Bro those models in the thumbnail gave me memories that seem fake but real at the same time. What have you done to me._*

A crime

How did i miss this

James isn't quite the same as Gordon. He makes lots of jokes and is generally a hypocrite. Gordon is just pompous and proud.

And Gordon also has more character development than James does, both in the books and the show

I’ll admit they’re nostalgic to look back on but besides the slightly detailed CG models for the time, these are absolutely nothing worth revisiting

Really a miss opportunity for HIT to use these learning segments for actual railroad safety procedures and knowledge, so it can be ACTUALLY educational and easily digestible for children. A bit like how the classic era is but this time in delves into more of the technical and/or operational side while still being fun. But nooooo, we have to get "nooooo the castle doesn't go on the wooden shed :(((((("

Tbh, in the Nitrogen era, they did do exactly that by showing live action segments of real british railways and engines, which was actually kind of neat considering the state of the CGI series back then.

Yeah I agree that was probably my worst take yet

These leaning segments are the reason why I'm a dumbass

Looking back: The 3D animated learning segments look really ugly.

I disagree I think they were very nice and stylized takes on the characters
