'''Mr. Conductor's Thomas Tales''' is a spin-off series of [[Shining Time Station (television series)|Shining Time Station]]. The plotlines, secondary to the five stories told by George Carlin in each episode, focused solely on Mr. Conductor.

The stories were a mix of those not shown in any episodes of Shining Time Station (mostly Season 4 episodes of ''[[Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends]]'') and Season 1, 2, and 3 episodes (such as ''Percy's Ghostly Trick''). A music video was also included at the end of each episode. He was joined alongside his dog, Missy and some goldfish.

==Cast==
*[[George Carlin]] as [[Mr. Conductor]]

==Notes==
* The opening credits and title cards of the episodes were similar to that of the Family Specials, but Thomas characters appear in them.
* All of the songs were edited down to a shorter runtime, most likely to accomodate the 30 mintute timeslot.
*The end credits consisted of deleted scenes from Season 3 of Thomas accompanied by the final stanza of ''Thomas' Anthem''.
*While most Season 4 episodes of Thomas were new in this spin-off, the Thomas stories from [[One of the Family]] were repeated.
*This series was the final time the original Shining Time Station Set and theme were used. Thomas was revived on American television via ''Storytime with Thomas'' on [[Fox Family Channel]], where Season 5 of the show was introduced. Thomas would later live on in America through individual VHS releases and the occasional TV appearance until 2004 when Thomas got his own American showing on PBS, starting off with Season 8 of ''Thomas & Friends'' all the way to the ''Thomas & Friends'' 2017 special, [[w:c:ttte:Journey Beyond Sodor|Journey Beyond Sodor]].
