Heck No Pooh's Adventures

I'm fairly certain that most sane people object to the train/horse romance for a few reasons- it's not nice to see something you loved as a child (in my case, Thomas) awkwardly shoehorned into a clumsily idealized romantic fantasy made by some socially awkward kid in lieu of human contact. If you want to look at it from an in-universe perspective, it doesn't make sense because one member of the partnership is a piece of heavy industrial machinery that can't do anything other than pull trains.
