Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends
David Mitton, Co-Creator of Thomas the Tank Engine, 1939-2008
June 12th, 2008 at 1:54 pm

Mitton’s train creations started on Shining Time Station on PBS in 1989, but his experience in creating models for film and tv went back to the 60s, as he worked on British cult favorite Thunderbirds. He had retired from working on Thomas a few years ago. Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends, produced for British Television, still runs Sunday mornings at 8am on Thirteen.
