I LOVE this movie. Hero of the Rails is in my top 5 Thomas the Train movies because of how this is the first movie in full CGI. Knowing how bad the Nitrogen era is(Seasons 13-16) this was one of the only good things about it. I love Victor and Kevin in this movie and the Steelworks is a great location for the show, and setting it up in the 1st movie makes the movie better. But somethings I hate about the movie is 1st, as someone who loves the model stuff and the lore with that. It hurts to have Hero be the 1st engine on Sodor over Edward. 2nd, What is Spencer doing with Percy's mail cars? I get that he found where Percy hid them, but how does no one see them behind him once he steals them. Like where does he hide them? Finally, THE NARRATOR NEVER SHUTS UP. I love Micheal Brandon, but the engines can talk on there own. He takes up about 1/4 of the time with pointless dialogue. Overall a great movie just cut down the pointless dialogue and this could be my favorite Thomas movie.
