This could mean an alternate version of the scene was filmed before the one that would be untimely used in the final episode.

The show's logo from Season 1.

Status: Partially Lost

Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends was a television adaptation of the Railway Series book series by Rev. W. Awdry. It premiered on iTV on October 9th, 1984, [1] and was a huge success upon its debut, spawning 584 episodes across 24 seasons before ending on January 20th, 2021. A reboot of the series title "All Engines Go" would begin airing later in 2021[2].

Across the 24 seasons and 584 episodes being produced, numerous scenes were filmed for certain episodes that ended up getting cut during production and various materials from these scenes have been used in various forms of Thomas media, but there are several scenes that have never resurfaced and some remain very obscure.

Deleted Scenes

Edward and Gordon

Status: Lost

Three scenes were filmed with Edward pulling coaches after being let out of the sheds by his driver and fireman. One is him pulling them on the viaduct, another one at the same location but at sunset and another one at Henry's tunnel. These were likely cut due to time constraints and only photos of these scenes remain.

Edward, Gordon and Henry

Status: Lost

A scene of Henry pulling coaches after he was left out the tunnel under a wide-arched bridge was likely cut out of the final episode due to time constraints. A single production photo exists of this scene.

  • Henry going under a wide-arched bridge.

Thomas and the Breakdown Train

Status: Partially Lost

Shots of Thomas passing the Breakdown Train and a view of the Breakdown Train from the sheds were used in two music videos "Really Useful Engine" and "Boo, Boo, Choo, Choo". However, one scene of Thomas pushing the Breakdown Train through Elsbridge station is the only scene cut from the episode that hasn't been found and only two production photos of this scene survive.
