Yes
2.) You've read at least one RWS book.
Yes. All of them
3.) You watch Thomas and Friends regularly (say, on a weekly basis).

Did a few pieces when I was younger (under the age of ten). Not recently
18.) Exclusively.
No
19.) You've recolored a photo of a real life locomotive to look like a Thomas character.

Yes
22.) You do both of these activities regularly.

24.) You ship your character with a character from the show.
25.) All you do is write or draw for your original character.
26.) And your ship.
No to all four of the above. Not sure I get the appeal of steam engine shipping to be honest
27.) You have an SiF account.

No. (Also, seriously?)
29.) The Rev. W Awdry is your favorite author.

No. Wouldn't I be a bigger fan if I loved his work uncritically though?
31.) Anything that isn't in the RWS isn't canon.
Not the RWS it isn't, no. Ecept for the Island of Sodor book of course. It's not a RWS book and it's canon
32.) Any TV episode past the model era is bad.
33.) Any TV episode past season 4 is bad.
34.) Any TV episode past season 2 is bad.
35.) All of the TV series episodes are bad.

39.) You've reskinned other people's models to make them look like Thomas and Friends characters.
40.) You've pestered someone to either make a model for you or to release a model.
41.) On a regular basis.
42.) All you do is take screenshots of your simulator.
43.) Your entire social media is filled with Thomas and Friends screenshots from your simulator.

55.) You've role played as a Thomas and Friends character before.

61.) You're now going to watch Tugs because it's considered a sister show to Thomas and Friends.
No
62.) Duck is the worst character from Thomas and Friends.

63.) If any new character is introduced from the HiT era, you automatically hate them.
64.) Just because they were made under HiT.
No
65.) You think Thomas and Friends is the greatest show to ever exist.
No, I'm not that blind. I'd probably nominate something like Fawlty Towers for that honour
66.) Chuggington is a blatant ripoff of Thomas and Friends.
No, it's very different. Not seen much of it though
67.) It's actually "Thomas the Tank Engine," not "Thomas and Friends."
No. Unless we're talking about RWS book #2.
68.) Your knowledge of how real railroads works is limited to Thomas and Friends.

69.) You think you would know how to operate a real steam locomotive based on what you've watched from Thomas and Friends.
I sometimes daydream about what I would do if I was the only person on the footplate of an out of control steam engine. (If I said dream, I think I meant nightmare.) The crazy thing is I probably would try to control it using what I could remember from Thomas and friends. Close the regulator, shut off steam and apply the brakes. Simple, right? (I'm not stupid, I know it's not simple.)
70.) Thomas and Friends is the only reason why you want to work for the railroad.
No
71.) You know Thomas is an E2 in real life.
Yes
72.) That's all you know about real life locomotives.

No
75.) You worship "Gawdry."
No
76.) You want to visit the United Kingdom solely to see the engines from Thomas and Friends.
I live there.
77.) You actually have visited the United Kingdom solely to see the engines from Thomas and Friends.

78.) You didn't know that the Skarloey Railway was based off the Talyllyn Railway.
79.) You also didn't know that Rev. Awdry volunteered there as a guard.
80.) You also didn't know that the Reverend based many of his stories off of real life railway mishaps and stories.
81.) You just went to look those up to make sure they were true.
No to all four of the above. I knew those things already, which surely makes me a bigger fan...
82.) You openly tell everyone how much you love Thomas and Friends.
No
83.) Thomas and Friends is all you ever talk about to your friends/family.
No
84.) You are dating, or have dated someone just because they were into Thomas and Friends.

85.) You've named your pet after a Thomas and Friends character.
No, I'm not that cruel
86.) You've named your child after a Thomas and Friends character.
No, but if I ever had children I probably would be that cruel.
87.) You find yourself saying Thomas and Friends quotes in public.
No
88.) You find yourself saying Thomas and Friends alliterations in public.
No
89.) You want to visit ThomasLand in Japan.
Kinda... but no. I'm too old for it. I'd be interested if they had an exhibition of the models though.
90.) That's really the only reason why you want to go to Japan.
No
91.) You think Japan has the coolest Thomas and Friends stuff in the world.
It does have some cool stuff, particularly with exclusive merchandise, but being able to see the original railways in the UK is cool, so, no.
92.) You have a crush on one of the Thomas and Friends characters.
No
93.) You say you are actually dating/in love/married to this character.
No
94.) Anyone who hates Thomas and Friends or your favorite character is dead to you.
No
95.) You claim to look like a character from Thomas and Friends.
No
96.) You think the American dub of Thomas and Friends is awful.
Not as bad as it used to be
97.) You only watch the UK version of Thomas and Friends.
Usually. But if the US version is all that's available I'll watch it.
98.) If the conversation isn't about Thomas and Friends, you don't want anything to do with it.
No
99.) You say that Thomas and Friends is consuming your life.
No
100.) It actually is.
Right now answering this quiz it is.
