Lorenzo/Behind the Scenes

Television Series
Lorenzo is a fictional tender engine created by Ian McCue and Becky Overton.

In 2019, Lorenzo made his debut in the twenty-third series of Thomas & Friends in the episode, Mines of Mystery.

Lorenzo is voiced by Vincenzo Nicoli (UK/US) in the CGI version of the series on both sides of the Atlantic, respectively. The character is voiced with a matching accent to his home country.

Lorenzo is based on an FS Class 743, however, the sandbox in front of his dome is based off on that on the Class 623.

CGI Model
In 2009, the series introduced Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) as a replacement for the show's long-standing live-action models. In 2018, Lorenzo was created from scratch in CGI by Jam Filled Toronto for the twenty-third series. The model was "hand-sculpted" in Maya, a 3D animation and modelling software.
