  2. If it's like the other specials, I'll enjoy this special, but it will have dozens of flaws that simierski won't like.
    I wonder who that hopper is?

  3. @BramGroatFilms I think that its Owen. I know he was said to be a crane, but that may have been changed. On the front of the puzzles book, his name can be seen in the wordsearch ;)

    I figure that the BMQ sign next to Thomas on the cover showing Skarloey and Rheneas stands for Blue Mountain Quarry, where I think Merrick and Luke will be stationed.

    @ SteamTeam - "On the front of the puzzles book Owen's name can be seen in the wordsearch". Very observant of you, thanks.

  5. @CharlieTheFunEngine14, Thanks, but I actually think it was Thomasfan on the Wikia that noticed it before me! :) And, yes, I think everyone's assuming the BMQ stands for "Blue Mountain Quarry". After all, what else could it stand for? :)

    @ SteamTeam - I don't know, Blue Mountain Quag maybe? (Quag: marshy or boggy spot)

  7. @CharlieTheFunEngine14 I think Quarry is more likely considering that they are actually in a quarry lol :P

  8. I reckon Owen is the character on the right on Thomas' Giant Puzzle Book, glad the narrow gauge engines are coming back and hopefully Bertram as he is coming out in wooden next year as a tank engine? This is probably because according to Britt Allcroft, Bertram was supposed to be a tank engine, but financial difficulty in building a new model made them repaint Duke's model with Smudger's face.
