Remember how I said I wanted Flora back?

I actually think the Season 12 newbies have a lot of potential to them. (Hank, Flora, and Colin)

Hank is a big, gentle giant who is easily mistaken for being a cheeky, egotistical engine, despite the fact he only wants to help. He's judged for his size, but he's really a big softy.

Colin is a friendly, happy crane who is lonely and can't go anywhere. He wants to have fun like the other engine, but he can't due to how he was built.

Flora is a young, kind, shy tram engine who is quiet and has the ability to go on both narrow gauge and standard gauge tracks. She has many talents, but she's shy about them. She's certainly younger than Toby.

Each of these characters have a lot of story potential, especially for a preschools how like Thomas and Friends. It's sad that they were only one-off characters, and it's very unlikely they'll ever come back any time soon, especially with the addition of Big World, Big Adventures...
