When engines see a person they are emotionally bonded to, they make strange clicking and popping sounds as soon as they're in sight. These noises are made with their teeth and throat, but it's often mistaken for their bones. The main man who gets this treatment on the NWR is none other than Sir Topham Hatt. He knows what it means, and he's flattered, but he finds it a little bit freaky.
My dumbass decided to watch the great race and it was ok, the music wasn’t the best but my favorite part was when Thomas was having body dysmorphia on himself midway through the movie/j (i kin this train on so many levels now)
