This sort of game has been in my head for a while now, and I think it could do well here.
Basically, a member asks a trivial question about anything in the Sodor Universe (TV Series, RWS, Annuals/Mags and possibly ERS), and if a member knows the answer posts it, and asks another question. It goes on, and some could be able to learn interesting things about the Sodor Universe they didn't know before.
Now, we don't want real easy ones (eg. 'What colour is Thomas?') or real hard ones (eg. 'How many times has Thomas' name been mentioned in the TV Series?') so relatively sensible questions please.
Right, first up:
Q. Who are the only two members of the Steam Team whose body isn't clearly symmetrical? (Exludes brake pipes and headlamps. Please give reasons.)
Answer away!

Mine: How Many Episodes has HiT filmed that don't have Thomas in any way, shape or form?

That's dead easy: 0 Which Series 2 episode contains a glimpse into the future? Actually, the answer is 4. Thomas is absent in "Squeak Rattle and Roll", "Duncan Drops A Clanger", "Skarloey Storms Through" and "Wash Behind Your Buffers". For your question, the answer is "Percy Takes The Plunge". QUESTION: Which two diesels have appeared in the most seasons?

You got one right Derek, the other was Percy (his rear boxes on each side of his saddle tank are different sizes.) Casey Jones: I'm pretty sure it was 'Saved from Scrap'. Q. Which non-Awdry steam engine in the TV Series shares his number with a RWS-Only steam engine?

William Tell Overture, In Busy Going Backwards, and I'm not sure, but I think I heard part of the Great Gate of Kiev at one point(I may just be an idiot though...)
What episode of the TV Series has the name of the episode written in it somewhere?

D. Hay: Ahh yes, I forgot about him. The one I was thinking of was Harvey (who shares his number with Primrose).
Aiden: I also believe Sunday was mentioned in 'Percy's Promise'.
tom628: I think the other one was the rendition of 'The Great Escape' theme in 'Escape!'.
And, your question had many answers, including 'Troublesome Trucks', 'Trucks!', 'Snow', 'Fish', 'Cows', 'Mavis', 'Daisy', 'Bulgy', 'Heroes', 'Granpuff', 'Bulldog', 'Bulls-Eyes', 'Mighty Mac', 'Dirty Objects', 'Old Iron', 'Pop Goes the Diesel', 'The Diseasel', 'Buzz Buzz', 'Special Attraction' and a lot more. If it's intended to be a specific title, it would need to be a more specific question.

I meant that the name of the episode is written, not spoken, written somewhere in the episode. You actually see the naem of the episode written out on something.

Yeah, I meant Mavis or, really, Gordon's View. Look closely at the hole, at the end. The words Gordon's View are written either over or under it. I Forget. I think above the hole.

How many episodes are a mixture of two stories of the Awdry's and two are in one?

I struggled to read that, but I'm guessing you mean 2 Awdry stories combined into one television episode.
In that case, Edward and Gordon, James and the Coaches, Whistles and Sneezes, Escape, Four Little Engines and Special Attraction, so all up, 6. There's a couple more which incorporate small bits of one story into another (Time for Trouble having bits of Gordon goes Foreign, and Thomas and Stepney having parts of the one with Stepney's arrival), but that's just being pedantic!
Only a wee few of Awdry's books had all four stories adapted, as four individual episodes, which aired one after the other, and in the same order as they were written in the books. Which books were they?

Since you didn't answer OldSquareWheels' question, I will.
1. Tank Engine Thomas Again ("Thomas & the Guard", "Thomas Goes Fishing", "Thomas, Terence & the Snow" & "Thomas & Bertie").
2. Edward the Blue Engine ("Cows", "Bertie's Chase", "Saved From Scrap" & "Old Iron")
3. Gallant Old Engine ("Special Funnel", "Steamroller", "Passengers & Polish" & "Gallant Old Engine)*
I make it three. Don't quote me on the last one though.
