Remember when it was a cool little series with model trains and Ringo Starr telling us the story?

Thomas has been CGI for at least a decade, but yeah it's pretty hollow and craftless.

Wanna know a foolproof way to remember which is which?

Po is short for Post Office, and post boxes are red
Lala sounds like yellow - well it doesn't, but it sounds more like "yellow" than Tinky Winky, Dipsy, or Po
Dipsy - sounds like deep sea, and the deep sea is kind of green
Tinky Winky - the one who's left
