My son Graham turns four next month and if there is one thing I can say for sure about him, he is crazy about trains. In particular, Thomas the Train. Crazy, maybe, to the point of obsession.
He watches Thomas every morning on Sprout. He goes to bed every night watching Thomas on YouTube. We own a dozen or so Thomas DVDs, each of which he’s watched probably twenty times. We’ve gone for a ride on the “real” Thomas in Strasburg and driven to Six Flags in Bowie, Maryland to visit Thomas Town and we’ve gone to Thomas the Musical. His Thomas train set has taken over the entire playroom and includes all his favorite engines – Thomas, Percy, Emily, Diesel 10, Hiro, Molly, Rusty, Salty, Spencer, Victor and I’m probably forgetting a few. He has Thomas books, Thomas iPad apps, Thomas sippy cups, Thomas placemats, Thomas pajamas and Thomas underwear.

Ever since Russ Suniewick and co-founder Ernest Aschenbach of Colorlab Corp. opened their doors for business in 1972, Colorlab has been dedicated to providing highly professional and knowledgeable film laboratory services to filmmakers, students, museums, and archives. While we offer all the same services found in a traditional motion picture film laboratory such as processing and telecine transfers, Colorlab is increasingly specializing in moving image preservation.
