Thomas & Friends (HIT era, Domino's version)

This is an alternate scenario where the HIT era of Thomas & Friends kept the same charm of the first six seasons.

Differences

 * Despite HIT Entertainment now producing the show starting with series 7, the same crew from the classic series were still there (i.e. Britt Allcroft, David Mitton, Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell).
 * While Emily the Stirling Engine is introduced, she wouldn't take Duck's place, meaning that Duck would still have a larger role.
 * Several characters wouldn't be flanderized.
 * Many side characters from previous seasons like Duck, Donald, Douglas, Oliver, Toad, Bill, Ben, Harvey, Jeremy, Jack, Terrence, Bulgy, and many others wouldn't be ignored.
 * Starting with Series 8: the Steam Team concept doesn't exist, and the original 1984 theme continues to be used to this day instead of the "Engine Roll Call".
 * The series would stay in model rather than switching to CGI.
 * The engine and vehicles' faces, along with all humans, are still static, and still voiced by the narrator.
 * The Big World, Big Adventures! retool never happened; Nia and Rebecca still exist as recurring characters, though the latter is green instead of yellow to better match her real-life basis.
 * While All Engines Go! wouldn't exist and the original series still continues, newer characters such as Kana, Sandy, Farona and Frederico, Riff and Jiff, Bruno, and Tess would still exist as recurring characters
 * Carly would still be a crane instead of being changed into a crane engine.
 * Sandy is instead a quarry engine like Mavis, being referred to Sandy the Little Quarry Diesel.
