The first Swedish dub of Thomas & Friends premiered in 1991 under the title Det Lilla Ångloket and covered only Seasons 1 and 2. It was narrated by Louise Raeder, making it one of the few versions of the series with a female narrator. Although the episodes were dubbed into Swedish, the credits still listed Ringo Starr as the narrator. It was later replaced by a new Swedish dub titled Thomas och Vännerna, which covered many more seasons.
