Thomas & Friends™ 80th Anniversary Expansion - Coming Soon



Continue the story of Thomas’ visit to the West Somerset Railway with the Thomas & Friends™ 80th Anniversary Expansion coming soon to Train Sim World 5!

[h2]Celebrate with a new story:[/h2]



Sir Topham Hatt and Diesel are preparing to throw a surprise birthday celebration for Thomas, who has been given a special coat of paint!
Following the events of Thomas’ first full day on the West Somerset Railway (played out in the previous Add-on), preparations are underway to celebrate Thomas’ birthday. He’s very excited for his birthday and is looking forward to the big celebration!



Sir Topham Hatt has a very important job for Diesel, who has been trying to be on his best behaviour and is eager to please. Work with Diesel as he goes to collect The Troublesome Trucks filled with party supplies, but will they get up to their usual tricks?



Be a really useful engine as you take passengers on Annie & Clarabel and help out when others are in need.

[h3]Original Green Livery[/h3]



As a special gift, Thomas has asked to be repainted for his birthday! Travel with Thomas around the West Somerset Railway in his Original Green Livery, complete with his original number 70 and white pinstripe lining.

Thomas hasn’t been painted in these colours in a very long time and looks just like he did when he first arrived on Sodor! It only seems right that he should wear his original colours for the special day.



As was the case before his repaint, driving with Thomas has been set up to be as intuitive and accessible as possible for everyone to enjoy. Throttle and brake controls are simplified.

[h2]The adventure continues:[/h2]



The 80th Anniversary Expansion continues the visit of Thomas and his friends to the West Somerset Railway with an additional 3-part narrated story.
You can also use Free Roam to take Thomas in his original colours on a tour of the mainland, or even visit his original hometown of Brighton for those with the East Coastway and London - Brighton route Add-ons.
