   Sort of. It was set in a train station, with human characters. One character (Ringo, initially), would tell a story (about Thomas et al) every now and then to some kids, and the show would cut to the large scale Thomas characters with the posable painted figures-- no humans at all. We would see the story as Ringo would narrate it.

So, it was always, “get on with the boring station stuff, and get to a story about Thomas!”

Finally, they released videos of just the Thomas stories (6 per tape, IIRC) And the crowd cheered. “yay.”
