I first seen TTTE when I was 1 or 2 years old.

^ Wow, that's really good to hear that you were watching Thomas at a very young age! I also have watched the TV Show when I was a child back then and I enjoyed it so much as other animated series that I have seen from my childhood. I'm also one of the people who grew up with the live-action models for the characters, but the CGI designs aren't that bad. As for the 2D reboot, it's not that bad either, but I'm surprised how Thomas how decided to do the opposite thing by rebooting the series in 2D which is opposite to the ones that went from 2D to 3D like Maya the Bee and Heidi for example.
