Just like Thomas & Percy

LT made a very astute observation today - he & Gabriel are just like Thomas and Percy!  How?  Their ages correspond with the numbers on each engine.  Thomas is the No. 1 blue engine, and Percy, his best friend, is the No. 6 engine. 

I can safely say that I've watched A LOT of Thomas & Friends over the past 6 years, but I don't think I would ever have come up with that apt comparison.  Guess it takes young eyes to take in all the little details.
