Personally I like to think that it was part of an evil plot created by Victor, to get every engine on Sodor painted in a corporate red livery, much like his own so he could rule over the railway. Rosie went to get repainted and Victor successfully convinced her to get repainted into red.
This would make Victor and James polar opposites, Victor feeling red is an amazing color thinks any engine would look good in red (he’d love being on the Skarloey Railway in the RWS canon) while James hates the idea of there being more red engines as he feels they’d make him seem less special
What if Rosie had been originally loaned from a preserved railway, but did so well on Sodor that she was eventually purchased. In her most recent overhaul, she would also be given a choice of new paint to go with her new number. Like Victor, she chose red to represent her new life as an official Sodor engine.
My headcanon is that James had actually been boasting about being the fastest red engine on Sodor for a while now, so when Rosie got repainted (as a reward for her hard work), she WAS going to be painted in pink again, but she deliberately decided to go with red just to spite James.
I prefer if she was just rewarded for her dedicated hard work. Not everyone is the star of the show, and some engines will just work at their jobs with no fuss. A really useful engine, if you will. And when you have someone that works like that, of course they are going to choose a smart but responsible livery.
My guess on why James didn’t remember seeing red Rosie is because he was just too busy looking for his trucks and wasn’t paying attention to anyone else (including Rosie)
Honestly it's obvious that JBS is after The Fastest Red Engine on Sodor. I never liked how they showed the story after then before as it should but still enjoyed it.
Admittedly, I've been more bias on lavender Rosie. While the idea of that old color being for girls marketing with toys feels pretty evident, the bios calling her 'a bit of a tomboy' kinda deterred me from that. And rather, I was sort of bummed that out of the few purplish characters, Rosie was the only girl of them while the rest were male tanks (i ultimately made my own OC with a Y10). And the show already had at least 6 girls in yellow by then (Isobella, Molly, Flora, Carly, Rebecca, Darcy...) I do give props to the irl proportioned render of her in that Dennis and Marklin saga. Your TGR side story reminded me of that, and a Great Northern fic where she was trialed for passenger experience before completing a line she'd work on. Annie & Clarabel consoled her and upon one passenger went into labor and was gotten to an ambulance, she named her new daughter after Rosie.
I do like the Great Railway Show theory myself. It would been real nice to have not only a reason to why Rosie was repainted, but also to give Norman a spotlight episode. I think the poor guy deserves some more love like some people in the fandom had done with him.
This thought struck me: Maybe James didn’t say anything about Rosie being red in Journey Beyond Sodor because Rosie got her NWR lettering and number 37 while she was still pink offscreen. Then, of course, she got repainted red sometime after that. Of course, this further adds to the theory that James also didn’t notice it because it was dawn and he and Rosie were a few tracks apart.
I've seen multiple videos and fanfics of how people would imagine how Rosie got repainted red once after the releases of "Journey beyond Sodor" and "The fastest red engine on Sodor" and the Wood and Railway Pals models of Rosie. I do sometimes wish we had more engines that are purple, pink, brown and orange as we have multiple engines that are red, white, black, blue, yellow and green.
Here are my theories as to why Rosie got painted red 1.) She was seen puffing out the yards in Philip to the Rescue and she passed to the broken bridge, however, there was no one to stop her in time, so she had a really nasty accident which messed up her paint, at the Steamworks, they had run out of pink paint so they had to paint her red. Or a really stupid theory 2.) One of my OCs (Manha) was actually made in canon but offscreen, however, due to her extremely 2000% high speed, she crashed into Rosie when she didn't see her then Rosie went flying off the rails then had a really nasty crash.
I just have one question about Rosie’s Character and your “Rosie to the Rescue theory” If Emily was labeled as “The Safety Engine” then why would they give Rosie a theoretical rescue episode? Along those lines, we know Emily and Henry have a strong friendship, but I am confused with you; how did Rosie and Henry become friends? My small theory is after Henry left the sheds, he felt lonely because of the fact that Emily was no longer around to help him. So maybe after Henry told Rosie about the friendship about him and Emily, Rosie might have felt to bring that similar caring and helpful side that Emily had to help make Henry more comfortable. Speaking of Emily; Rosie’s Carnival Special is the only Rosie and Emily episode, and I think it was a missed opportunity to have another Brener series Female character having interaction with the main female character. Can you make a theory on Rosie’s Carnival Special? I just really need to know why Rosie and Emily were paired up for the episode.
I like your interesting theories why Rosie was painted red so I kind of like to think that the reason why Rosie was red was because she was never taken seriously because of her pink livery and she was always so silly and naive like Thomas and Percy and so when she was taking that passenger train when she was still pink from that shot of the great race and maybe she was going away with the fairies I’m not paying attention and then somehow have a crash getting reprimanded by the fat controller then sent Steamworks to be repainted then Victor gives suggestion to be painted red so she can be taken more seriously and then that’ll teach her not to be as silly and naive and the more responsible and which I like also Rosie her personality to be more of a dependent woman than a naive little girl which is a sign to show that Rosie has grown up
I kinda find it funny how in "Who's Geoffrey", Thomas mentioned that the new engine is red, while having an engine in Stories of Sodor by Victor Tanzig, there's legit that same engine.😂 R.I.P Geoffrey. For those who don't get the "R.I.P. Geoffrey" line in my comment here, just watch Season 5 of Stories of Sodor, primarily Episode 1. Once you watch it the whole way through, you'll gain context.
In my opinion, this was Mattel’s first major mistake. And for good number of reasons why this should never have happened; 1) There are PLENTY of red characters in TTTE already, same as Blue, Black and Green. 2) Rosie’s true colour completed the Rainbow of Liveries HiT established when they introduced her. Thanks to Mattel, they mucked it all up. 3) Rosie models, outside of Tomy and Wooden Railways, were already becoming rare and expensive. One fan was so upset he literally buried his Bachman model, whilst others defaced their current models. 4) The true Rosie can still work in throughout the Mattel series, so whilst I have no quips with her internal development, they needn’t have altered her outer appearance. Red Rosie is a blight on the franchise and ought to be dismissed as a bad idea, restored to either her former glory, or at least actually be declared as one of her cousins, but everyone’s been mistaking them for the same person.
The coaches she was pulling were red, I like to think Rosie simply thought "hey, that's a cool hue" and asked to be painted red at her next maintenance trip.
My headcanon is that Rosie saved Norman from a huge accident, or helped to where it was less extreme, at Vicarstown. Norman was the temporary Vicarstown Shunter, so TFC awarded her with a coat of her choice AND a promotion of Station Pilot at Vicarstown. She chose red, as it reminded her of some roses she had seen before (or even because Norman is a shade of red to make him feel better). Norman because he's clumsy
I honestly love Rosie's red livery; it fits her name since roses are literally red. But I wish she had the number 18 instead of Nia and had her be part of the main cast.
Mate, changing the numbers still don't matter to the CGI Era staff. Also, Nia wouldn't be present, if Rebecca was introduced in S21, had the episodes not been cut.
An Engine of Many Colors could've easily been written for Rosie. Rosie is offered to be repainted and she asks opinions from others of what color should she choose. Then all the imagination sequence happens then finally she settles for red because she sees how Victor works hard in the Steam Works and she wants to be useful like him.
@aessseoseo That’s been the basis of my Rosie origin story. Only in it, Rosie came to Sodor in her red livery, as it was the livery of the Northern Wisconsin Railroad Co, and wanted to have a new coat of paint, but she couldn’t make up her mind at first. She didn’t want to copy anybody else’s colour, mostly for fear of mistaken identity between the tank engines (as her red livery made people mistake her for Arthur) and eventually found a colour to make her stand out a great deal better; lavender for the flowers that helped her to sleep after her stressful times in Knapford Yards and silver for the moon on her last night in Wisconsin. A story like that was worthy of Mattel itself…
I just think that red is just the primary colour of Vicarstown (The station being red, Norman and Rosie both being red, and the red express coaches being there)
With the amount of engines on Sodor, the Fat Controller has probably had a new redesign for her livery on the list. Rebecca arrived with the NWR livery right away so he's probably decided to trial the new design on Rosie first. For all we know, Rebecca might have been an engine the Fat Controller had his eyes on for ages.
I think the Rosie to the Rescue theory is the best one because it would happen double plus in the same movie we first saw it in, the James and the Dementia theory in The Fastest Red Engine on Sodor. OK well let's suppose Journey Beyond Sodor is before Season 21 just like production, and look at how James and Rosie are positioned when James goes to find his trucks only to find Thomas took them. They're both in the same compass direction, so there's a likelihood James would've not thought to look to the left albeit carefully, so that's why it comes as a surprise of her new repaint in The Fastest Red Engine on Sodor, and finally Rosie could've very well been awarded the paintjob for repeating Thomas' homage back in Thomas and the Breakdown Train, and while STH thought Thomas was mature enough to handle a full time line, he thought Rosie was mature enough to have a more serious appearance like her class usually were. Rosie's rescue could've had a significant impact on Henry's heart strings hence in the canon of the show he moved to Vicarstown to be with Rosie as he found her worthy of being a motherly figure despite clearly being younger altogether and she accepted it.
1:00 As a Sonic fan, I can say that Amy is not just a pink sonic. Yes when she was first conceived she was the Minnie to his Mickey, But she has long since become a character in her own right
I'm still salty they never considered using Rosie's redesign as an opportunity to expand on her character and give her some time in the spotlight. It's a shame, I really like her redesign, and considering how much SIF was hyping it up you'd have thought they'd at least have BOTHERED to do something with her! Like how could they not?! It was the perfect opportunity! And they blew it big time! Man, what I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall during S21-24's production, it must've been wack
Add-on Theory with the TGR: What if the Rosie-Norman fight and Carly-Ceanky fight happened on the same day? Crazy????? I agree with your TGR theory. It makes so much sense and continuity with TGR!
A New Norm could also showcase the Pros and Cons of Steam and Diesel shunters: ○ Rosie takes a while to be steamed, but can accelerate herself at moderately high speeds. ○ Norman is easier to start up and can provide higher haulage power at slower speeds, but his engine trouble could hinder his performance.
One reason they might have repainted her is because she's meant to be a tomboy, and pinkish purple typically isn't a "tomboyish" color - might also explain why they got rid of her blush and lip gloss.
Throughout all the countless times I looked at Rosie when she was pink I didn't think that the pink on her face was blush and lip gloss. I thought it was degree burns and skin temperature or regular emotion blush by how she behaves. :/ I've heard the saying "pink is for girls" though I think with the production of recoloring Rosie the writers wanted to make her into a color that shows that she's now a teenage girl and a grown woman from the past 14 or 16 years she's been on the show and being gone for the past 4 seasons in CGI.
I think when Rosie is pink, she stands out. In my opinion, I would prefer Rosie to be black, green, or blue like the rest of her class. Most girls like pink, Do you agree with me?
21:44 The frozen turntable, Norman with Dart friendship episode, and not only so company, for best ideia thinking myself, so Gordon, wins the silly good episode, and so because, the bad season 17, with best intro comes to stephen, douglas, & duke, boco, angry daisy & old donald, non-oliver and toad's episode, back to season five, awesome series romance of thomas and rosie❤sweet & tribute 2024 big miraculous ladybug so-rry chat/cat-noir, nice Jeremy backings too?!.
Wait a second; they made Rosie not pink to avoid sexism and feminine stereotypes only to put her in a spotlight episode about relationships? Classic MATTEL thinking
Because Rosie is red I’m sorry, anyway personally I think it makes sense that it’s symbolic, like a great parallel to James who’s Red is what made him vain and conceited until Rosie now takes away that unique identity of his
I think the reason James has his reaction to Rosie being red in the fastest red engine on sodor is because in that scene in journey beyond sodor it was very early and James could’ve been tired from waking up so early to head to vicarstown(sorry if I misspelled that) and also lighting.
Seems like lots of engines get red after big mishaps they dealt with that happened with them like James after his wooden brake block incident Victor after falling in the ocean Yong Bao after saving the engine from falling off the cliff and now the ideas of Rosie getting in a crash or rescuing someone to get red, who knows if Arthur had something big happen on The Mainland to get repainted LMS Red since his class was painted black
Who on earth says Rosie is pink? She's obviously lavendar (purple) There's been countless purple engines in the franchise: Culdee Fell Engines, Lady, Splatter, Rosie, Charlie, Ryan, Purple Tender Engines, and Kana from AEG. Not so much purples in the TV Series
To put some real railroad logic in this, paint is expensive. And most of the NWR engines on Sodor are some type of Blue, Green, Red or Black color. There are a few outliers but the majority fall under these colors. Maybe as a way to standardize the paint for Rosie they chose red, and it was cost effective. Since lavender pink and cream with red trim and wheels is a pretty complicated paint job to apply time and time again for a yard shunter.
@@GuyKnowles At least Hit gave the brand justice unlike Mattel but yeah I wish they kept the show like Seasons 4 to 7 through Season 12 and that the Nitrogen era never happed apart from the specials.
Also great points about the timeline. If Journey Beyond Sodor takes place before the Tidmouth Sheds saga, I could say that Rosie was already painted red then and James paid little mind to that fact before Thomas brought it up to him. And that Hasty Hannah took place right on or before Fastest Red Engine
I think she was painted red because of a joke from Thomas And Friends Meets. In Thomas And Friends Meets Jacksepticeye Rosie looks at Thomas and says "SENPAI! AAAH!" and Thomas calls her a yandere. Her colour may have been too similar to Yandere Simulator and Mattel didn’t want any comparisons to be drawn.
They repainted her because you don’t exactly see bright pink steam engines chuffing about the place

What about the theory that Rosie got repainted in summer of 2015 as a step in maturity after taking advice from a Victorian express engine?

Throughout all the countless times I looked at Rosie when she was pink I didn't think that the pink on her face was blush and lip gloss. I thought it was degree burns and skin temperature or regular emotion blush by how she behaves. :/
I've heard the saying "pink is for girls" though I think with the production of recoloring Rosie the writers wanted to make her into a color that shows that she's now a teenage girl and a grown woman from the past 14 or 16 years she's been on the show and being gone for the past 4 seasons in CGI.
I think when Rosie is pink, she stands out. In my opinion, I would prefer Rosie to be black, green, or blue like the rest of her class. Most girls like pink, Do you agree with me?
Paintwork wise the Red Rosie suits her better.

The frozen turntable, Norman with Dart friendship episode, and not only so company, for best ideia thinking myself, so Gordon, wins the silly good episode, and so because, the bad season 17, with best intro comes to stephen, douglas, & duke, boco, angry daisy & old donald, non-oliver and toad's episode, back to season five, awesome series romance of thomas and rosie❤sweet & tribute 2024 big miraculous ladybug so-rry chat/cat-noir, nice Jeremy backings too?!.
Your such a good writer
I might actually try and recreate a new norm and Rosie great railway show if Thomas theorist is ok with it and I credit him
to be honest rosie was better of pink there are too many pink engines in the show in fact ashima is the only pink charater!
Hear, hear!
The fact that she's a _USATC engine_ named _Rosie_ has got to be such a missed opportunity.
*GERLS!!*
man a thomas theorist and asodorlife collab is i always wanted.
yayyy rosie
Wait a second; they made Rosie not pink to avoid sexism and feminine stereotypes only to put her in a spotlight episode about relationships? Classic MATTEL thinking
@MarvelMTs Indeed. They just took action without thinking it properly through, nor of the fact the cons outnumber the limited amount of pros…
Because Rosie is red
I’m sorry, anyway personally I think it makes sense that it’s symbolic, like a great parallel to James who’s Red is what made him vain and conceited until Rosie now takes away that unique identity of his
Both the Rosie models in the thumbnail are not so good. The best one was lanvender with the headlamp.
Personally I think pink with lamp is the worst of the three, and I generally like the Brenner era head lamps.
I think the reason James has his reaction to Rosie being red in the fastest red engine on sodor is because in that scene in journey beyond sodor it was very early and James could’ve been tired from waking up so early to head to vicarstown(sorry if I misspelled that) and also lighting.
Um... Amy isn't JUST pink sonic, but thomas and rosie are both similar to sonic and amy personality wise.
Seems like lots of engines get red after big mishaps they dealt with that happened with them like James after his wooden brake block incident Victor after falling in the ocean Yong Bao after saving the engine from falling off the cliff and now the ideas of Rosie getting in a crash or rescuing someone to get red, who knows if Arthur had something big happen on The Mainland to get repainted LMS Red since his class was painted black
Who on earth says Rosie is pink?
She's obviously lavendar (purple)
There's been countless purple engines in the franchise: Culdee Fell Engines, Lady, Splatter, Rosie, Charlie, Ryan, Purple Tender Engines, and Kana from AEG.
Not so much purples in the TV Series
To put some real railroad logic in this, paint is expensive. And most of the NWR engines on Sodor are some type of Blue, Green, Red or Black color. There are a few outliers but the majority fall under these colors. Maybe as a way to standardize the paint for Rosie they chose red, and it was cost effective. Since lavender pink and cream with red trim and wheels is a pretty complicated paint job to apply time and time again for a yard shunter.
They probably just noticed that modern media dresses female villains in pink.
I will Say it woaw
I wish there were more pink engines though, they're rare
He really became the thomas theorist
I always thought she was lavender before red.
Wait your name is Adam?
nice
12:45/12:50 I think there's a fan story that's based on this theory.
We could of got those episodes about Rosie and Norman or perhaps Stanley if the show wasn't so hyper Thomas and Steam Team focused.
And if S21 wasn't cut short
Thanks a lot BWBA!
@@GuyKnowles
Exactly. I wish Seasons 1 & 2 had 28 episodes and Season 3 onward had 30 episodes. BWBA should have never happened.
I wish the Hit Buyout never occurred and the show never changed after Season 7.
@@GuyKnowles
At least Hit gave the brand justice unlike Mattel but yeah I wish they kept the show like Seasons 4 to 7 through Season 12 and that the Nitrogen era never happed apart from the specials.
I prefer the red paint
Why are you writing "mauve lilac" when both you and james are saying "mauvy lilac"
I'm diagnosed with dyslexia - so that's why
@@ThomasTheorist ok
Ill tell you why so Mattel could make a quick buck with some new merchandise
Also great points about the timeline. If Journey Beyond Sodor takes place before the Tidmouth Sheds saga, I could say that Rosie was already painted red then and James paid little mind to that fact before Thomas brought it up to him. And that Hasty Hannah took place right on or before Fastest Red Engine
In my AU, James actually has himself painted pink in protest of Rosie's color change 🤣
I think she was painted red because of a joke from Thomas And Friends Meets.
In Thomas And Friends Meets Jacksepticeye Rosie looks at Thomas and says "SENPAI! AAAH!" and Thomas calls her a yandere.
Her colour may have been too similar to Yandere Simulator and Mattel didn’t want any comparisons to be drawn.
I doubt that.
But cool theory anyway.
Notice me senpai! X_X
