The mod adds new models, sounds (including the train whistle that will come to haunt your dreams), and some altered spell effects to better fit the experience of doing deadly battle with a colorful flying train.

Sir Topham Hatt would be so very, very disappointed. Conductor.Īnd after watching Thomas placidly descend from the sky and immolate an unfortunate Skyrim denizen, I’d have to agree.

The mod replaces the dragons of Skyrim with Thomas the Tank Engine and other characters from Shining Time Station, the beloved, cheerful children’s show remembered for talking trains and giving Ringo Starr something to do in the late 80s as the live-action Mr. That’s what Polarexpresswiz, the mad genius behind the Really Useful Dragons mod thought. Instead, you’ll wind up striking a deal with Thomas to raid Konpeki Plaza to steal the Relic chip.Is there anything more likely to make an adventurer in Skyrim soil his armor than a distant, but drawing ever closer, dragon roar? How about a cheerful toot? Imagine Thomas and friends serenely gliding above the grimy, glitchy streets below, unaware of and unbothered by the power struggles roiling within the Arasaka Corporation. What we’d been hoping for was a Thomas the Tank Engine mod that somehow builds on Night City’s abandoned monorail system, which a redditor discovered shortly after the open-world game launched late last year. The Thomas DeShawn mod swaps out Night City fixer Dex DeShawn’s head with the plucky blue steam engine, giving Dex a pleasant – if unsettlingly static – permanent smile.


This is not exactly the way we had anticipated Thomas showing up in a Cyberpunk 2077 mod, however. There are Thomas mods for Skyrim and Sekiro and countless other PC classics, and now there’s one for Cyberpunk 2077. Sure, there are Steam charts and sales milestones, but for my money, the way to tell that a PC game has made it is by checking to see whether it has a Thomas the Tank Engine mod.
