Reverend Wilbert Awdry based most of his stories on real life events. Here is a video documenting every inspiration I could find for Awdry's stories and Seasons 5 and 6. Stories/Episodes not shown are ones I found no information about. My main source was the wiki.
This video is for documentary and commentary purposes, particularly for older fans. Children are not the intended audience.
