[['''WTL Network]]''', short for "Where's the Line?", was likely the most notable maker of ''[[Thomas the Tank Engine]]'' [[YoutubeYouTube Poop]] in the medium's existence. His (actually their, as the network was made up of three people who collaborated on poops) poops included a wide network of running gags, and established a humor standard that subsequent poopers have aspired to match.
 
The main account was closed due to copyright infringement claims by HiT Entertainment, the current owners of Thomas, but most of the old poops can be found [http://www.youtube.com/user/GenericWTLAlt here]. There is also a new account called [http://www.youtube.com/user/ThePoopTroupe The Poop Troupe], although they have yet to do a great deal in regards to actual YouTube Poop.

'''General:'''
* [[All There in the Manual]]: There's a lot of extra info on the [https://web.archive.org/web/20111012112359/http://www.thepooptroupe.com/wikitl/Main_Page Wiki] that's not readily apparent from the poops themselves.
