@@donaldthescotishtwin Haha glad you got it! XD

Aw thanks! I love to hear it! Been working on the scripts for Ep 7 and 8 this past month. :)

I'm not sure sorry, I got it second-hand from a model shop. But looking at pictures online, it looks very similar to the Mehano brand cranes!

I agree! I think I've seen 4 or 5 different versions of The Missing Coach alone this year - all unique from each other and made through different mediums. I can't name one other fandom that can make so many of their own stories in so many different mediums. Thanks for watching!

Aw thanks so much! For this episode, I tried extra hard to make the sets feel connected with each other since most of the story takes place in Tidmouth Yard. I made a giant map to plan out my camera angles too, so I'm glad it paid off! Thank you for noticing!

Haha thank you so much! I was so excited when I thought of that little twist in the last shot. And that's a good way of putting it! I love scenes in movies where things just get worse and worse and more and more and more complicated in a comedic way. So glad you liked it! :)

@@SootyWill You're welcome. And speaking of specials, forget the Steam Team Special, I would've loved to see an adaptation of the Missing Coach similar to this. If this was Donald and Douglas's last episode in the TV show, then I think it would've been the perfect swan song for them. Plus it would be the ultimate in joke, on how their final episode would've been their first episode.

Aw thank you so much! I really liked Thomas' little arc in this episode so I'm glad to hear it! I appreciate the kind words! :)

@@SootyWill Nah, thank you for making such a masterpiece. keep up the good work

​@@BlueTheCharredGuy22 Thank you again very much, that's very kind of you. ^^ I'm working on two more parody songs this week and making plans for filming more episodes soon!

@@The_NW_EngineYT Aw thank you so much! I was really happy they turned out well, thanks for noticing!

@@ROADSTERDUDE That was such a fun face to edit for that shot haha! 🤣 Glad to hear it! Love to hear when my videos make people laugh

@@The_NW_EngineYT LOL I might have put in a few too many. But in my defense Ep 5 barely had any! 🤣

@@MasterMew13 Most of the HO figures I just bought from stores. I 3D printed Sir Topham Hatt from a Tinkercad model. The rest of the humans were all edited.

@@kupferbergbahn7952 Aw thank you so much! That means a lot. It was a lot of fun but definitely got tedious, having to make 3-4 sets just for Sir Topham Hatt closeups haha. And thanks! Very happy with the tender crash. I was trying to achieve the explosion effect from the HIT era. Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it! :)

@@octoguy3931 Thank you so much! That means a lot! :)

@@ivorythebashful Aw thank you so much! It definitely took a lot of work so that means a lot to hear. I really appreciate the sub!

Thanks so much! I forgot to include it, but I made a big map of my version of Tidmouth Yard that I referred to while I was filming. If I make a commentary I'll definitely include it! I put a lot of effort into making the sets look somewhat cohesive since most of the story takes places in only one or two locations, so thanks for noticing!

Aw thanks so much! Glad you liked it! :)

Thanks so much for checking it out!

Thank you very much! This was definitely the most fun I had writing and recording a video yet, so I'm glad it paid off! I love hearing what little moments or jokes people liked - thank you so much! XD

Haha thank you so much! I was definitely trying to make it chaotic, so I'm glad to hear it!

LOL I think that's the first time I've gotten that haha! Glad you liked it!

@@Amunisence Aw thank you so much! That seriously means so much, I really appreciate the kind words. It was a lot of fun but definitely took months of work, so thanks for noticing all those elements. I definitely had the most fun writing this episode more than any other haha I hope your friends enjoy it too! Thanks again :)

Oh my gosh thank you so much!! That seriously means so much to know! And yes, I see what you mean and I'm glad to hear it! I had to ask my dad to use his model ship for Thomas' flashback and my mom to use her potting soil for the tender crash, so my videos are still very much homemade haha. This was probably the most fun I had writing and recording a video. And yes, I was very excited when I remembered Thomas' backstory and how to tie it back to Douglas. Their shed scenes was the hardest to write, so I'm glad to hear it was effective! As for the tender crash, I launched a pile of dirt in the air with a Lego plate, filmed it in slow-motion on my iPhone, and covered it up with a bush in post. I included some of the unedited takes and overhead pictures in my Behind-The-Scenes if you'd like a better look! czcams.com/video/HPvveZnWrEI/video.htmlsi=7IlfRkZAd-k01tJ9&t=125 Thank you again so much for all the kind words - I love long comments! It makes all the work worth it! :D

Thanks so much! And yes, I figured that since this episode is a flashback, I could make Thomas a bit more crazy than usual and get away with it haha. He was definitely the most fun to voice. Glad you liked it, thanks for checking it out!

Haha thanks so much! That was one of my goals when rewriting the story, so I'm glad to hear it!

@@SootyWill aye, well done.

@@PCMan8922 Thank you so much! Love to hear it! :)

@@SNER333 Haha glad to hear it! I was very excited when I thought of that last little punchline. Thank you so much!

@@ultra6671 Haha yes exactly! Thats what I was going for. Glad you liked it!

@@thesodorcrew Thanks so much! I’m definitely thinking about it! The commentaries take a lot of time to edit, and I wasn’t sure if people were still interested in them. I would have to make a commentary for Ep 4 and 5 first, but I’m glad to know you’d like to see them! That really means a lot :)

@@gordieboi2340 Aw thanks so much! I’ll definitely have to think about it! I did a rewrite of “The Runaway” a couple years ago and filmed some broll footage on some of my sets. Glad to know you’d like to see more like this!

@SootyWill Cool, I can't wait to see it. While adaptions of Wilbert's stories are always entertaining, I can't wait to see how you adapt Christopher's cause they're mid. His stories aren't really character driven and are basically just "engines do train thing"; his style felt less like sentient engines and more just engines that just so happened to be alive

@@DoritoTime Thanks so much! That was just something I did on the fly and used a bit of editing trickery to cover up. Thanks for noticing!

Thanks very much! Glad you liked it. I was so excited when I thought of the little twist for the end haha

Thanks so much!

Aw thanks so much! Glad you liked it! :)

Thanks so much! I'll do my best. And that's so cool! Hope I can go to that railway someday.

@@SootyWill If you're ever in the area just give me a shout. Would be a pleasure to show you around. There are a few heritage railways around here. Another nearby one does the Day Out With Thomas thing in summer with a replica E2.
