Sodor516 (Seasons 1–3)

The island looks like the one from your childhood — what happens on it doesn't. Sodor516 (2028) is a series you can watch online on iFILM. Thomas and his friends turn into humanoid robots powered by magic gold dust, run by an artist named Emma Hatt — sweet on the surface, quietly in control of everything.

The voice cast pulls straight from the original franchise: John Hasler, Keith Wickham and Rob Rackstraw, with a fan creator credited under the handle asktrio516 directing. The tagline says it outright — your childhood show, rewritten and humanised. It's an odd, half-fan, half-professional detour into Sodor Island, worth a look on iFILM.
