This is the best version of A Close Shave I have ever seen! I like the little TVS references that have been thrown in and being mixed with the astounding RWS accurate items and the other creative liberties like how Duck did help a foreign engine up the hill but was chased by Henry's train. I always thought the it was the foreign engine who lost their train.
The fact you used the chase theme from one of my favorite Disney movies, the realistic Sfx, the SPECTACULAR Visuals! And the realistic and iconic feel of the rws and tvs mixed is just amazing
So glad you said Diesel got sent away for telling lies about Henry. The TV series was a bit weak when they only said Sir Topham never believed Diesel. Kind of defeated the reason for sending Duck to Edwards station which he only did to catch Diesel out next time he tried the same trick again.
*"OH! OH! WHAT'S GOING ON?! OH! OH!"* I bursted out laughing at that line. Ok but in seriously, you did an AMAZING job like always, keep up the good work!
A solid adaption. It's wonderfully captivating to see originality in these RWS adaptions. Gives a sense of personal touch. The crash was well done too.
"A Close Shave" with Star Trek The Motion Picture's music? I never would've imagined that. Surprisingly fitting. I will admit, even with just the music alone I still see the Enterprise in my mind.
@@funtimestationstudios3680 It's actually both, I believe. Duck being lifted back to the rails is Ilia's Theme by Jerry Goldsmith with some of Silvestri's _Back to the Future_ score as well.
Absolutely brilliant and incredible: this has to be one of the best RWS styled videos I’ve ever seen, and I’m a sucker for these gorgeous realistic models.
The trucks for being simple minded rolling stock are some how extremely smart to the point where they know how many of them it takes to over power an engine and their crew PLUS the brakevan
I cant believe this masterpiece is 11:13 minutes long, this is an example of how you can take full advantage of these 11 minutes, also i really loved the energy on the voices, they look so alive.
Once again, another remake spot on! It kind of felt like a live action episode out of nowhere, or should I say an episode from the brenner era with the background voices. Loved the crash too really good camera angles as well. Well done.
The different angles as you go up and down Gordon's hill weren't half bad. Plus, that's some catchy jazz music you've selected for the chase scene. And you really did a number on Duck as well as the lathering. _"Oh, the indignity of the Western MACHIIIIIIIINE!!!"_ ROFL So what do you plan to have next? "The Flying Kipper"? "Down the Mine"? "Percy's Promise"? "Percy Takes the Plunge"? Any stories with major accidents that will test your skills?
I don't know what to say, all I can say that this was marvoulous! This did really feel RWS accurate, it had so much FEELING into it. Great job as always!
I love this. The story was well told. The graphics were amazing. Especially the faces. (They remind me of the illustrations from the books) They had a great deal of emotion in them. And, as a Thomas & a Star Trek fan hearing that music at the end had me in 7th Heaven. Well done.
I love these models! personally i like when YT creators use more realistic models for the engines over the TVS stuff. not to say i dont like the TVS stuff. i just like the realism.
now this, this is quality lovely remake of one of my favourite episodes the only point id like to address is the ambient noises sometimes make it a little hard to hear the voices
I don't know how to expressive my self after viewing this, I guess I would say if you ever feel down 4F Productions I hope you remember you have brought so much joy to me and I am sure many others, may that same joy amplified be returned to you in times of need. -Sincerely, Harrison
Oh my lord my dude that was incredible I've never seen so much detail out of a simulator its emaculate truly beyond words I love the banter too especially when duck crashes and the customer jumps like I almost just died and the barbers like sit your ass down its only an engine then you here duck as he lathered so funny plus all isn't lost in the background noise either just awesome
wow, the visuals from this is absolutely phenomenal ! If i wasn't aware this a job done by trainz i would've confused it for an official product. Well down ! The only nitpick i have is that the background audio can overwhelm the narration at certain points.
This felt so real, the mix of cartoonish music and realistic models, this feels like a movie - w - (Mainland has certainly out done himself) keep it up!
An epic retelling of an epic story. I however have some notes that would have made it even better that you could try next time. Firstly the audio mix, sound effects throughout where way too loud drowning out the voices making them sound muffled. The aspect ratio was great as it made it feel more epic, but next time if you export the video with the resolution of that frame it would playback without the black bars on CZcams which would make for a better viewing experience. Also perhaps the pacing at the end was bit too slow imo. Besides those things I really enjoyed it, the way you used the route, staging, camera angles and music choices where excellent! I can't wait to see whatever comes next from you.
Ah, thank you Curtis. I'll take the audio mix into account on my next video. As for the aspect ratio, the bars were actually added in-game using ReShade, and the purpose of them was to try and match the look of the Cinemascope films from the late 50s and early-late 60s. (David Lean's films from that era come to mind here.)
@@4fproductions637 Ah ye I got ya. What I'd recommend is to crop them out by exporting out at a resolution fitting a 2:35:1 aspect ratio. just something that would make watching it better on display's of non standard aspect ratios.
This was one of the best recreations of show/books I've every seen, the music, engines, and faces were perfect. One piece of advice I'd give is to adjust the volume levels for the narration as it is a little hard to hear over the background audio
La mejor adaptasíon de mi episodio favorito de la serie Classica 🎩😁👍👍👌👌👏👏💯💯🤩🤩😍😍😻😻✨✨🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉 No sé porque pero cuando Duck se estrello que do sumamente épico 🙀🙀🤩🤩
A superb recreation video in every aspect. Nothing felt underplayed; it all felt right. I love especially how weighted the chase sequence is; you easily could have exaggerated the speed for dramatic effect, but you cling the feeling right back to the point that these are heavily-laden goods trucks with a momentum that is fast but controlled by a sense of weight; exactly as it should be in accordance with physics. Regards, Samuel Farris.
I really like the goods trains in this, they’re so long. Very well done! Nice to see a take where the train slows down more towards the barber shop, unique touch. Also really like the flatbed in the beginning that Duck is shunting. Love the music, especially the Trek credits. The Castle in the Sky music from your intro has gotten me thinking about where to put ghibli tracks in Thomas stories
Want to know EXACTLY the reasons why I think this is a MUCH better "Engines crashes into the side of a building" episode than Thomas Comes to Breakfast? 1. Unlike in that episode, the barber eventually learned that what happened wasn't Duck's fault. And to those who are asking, what happened in Thomas Comes to Breakfast wasn't really Thomas's fault either, it was the cleaner's fault. 2. The barber had a better reason to be mad. Because if an engine crashes into the side of a building, the ones with you being frightened is a MUCH bigger worry than your breakfast being ruined.
This was a new unique remake of A Close Shave or A Close Shave for Duck and I loved the “Duck and Diesel Trilogy” accept for just one thing. It is not the story I don’t like, it is a fantastic story, Duck crashing into a barbershop and being deemed as a hero. The problem I have is, in the previous episode Duck went through a lot of despair in the previous episode, Diesel had told lies about Duck and we didn’t get to see Diesel getting sent packing. It doesn’t seem right at all to have a main character framed and the culprit wasn’t really discovered. After Duck’s accident at the barbershop Sir Topham Hatt sent told Duck he sent Diesel packing as he told lies about Henry after Duck had left. But The Railway Series and TV Series could’ve done an episode where after Duck was sent to work with Edward and Diesel told lies about Henry but he got found out and was sent packing. The Reverend Wilbert Awdry could’ve had a 5th story in “Duck and the Diesel Engine” book or wrote “Domeless Engines” in a different Railway Series book as a story about Gordon is totally irrelevant in a book about Duck and Diesel.
![[Animation] The Flying Kipper](/img/n.gif)
I like how the change of engine taking the runaway is changed to Henry so it makes more sense than Edward teleporting and taking 20 trucks
There was no indication that it was Edward in the original book tbf
@@harwickbranch they said it was edwards train
@@harwickbranch wait your right never mind I just remember the tv version and someone mistakingly saying that Edward had been the one pulling it
In the book he was helping a foreign engine over the he hill and the passenger engine leaving Crosby was never named either.
Neville was pulling the train, but the runaway was a different train pulled by Henry
“Oh the indignity of The Great Western!”
Duck using Gordon’s line I see?? ;)
He says " Ohhhh the indignity of a Great Western machineeeee!-"
The way that line is delivered reminds of Jeremy Clarkson.
Specifically how he says “what a machiiiiine!”
Now THIS (in my opinion) is what Awdry would've liked for the TVS
I've always thought "what a waste of shaving cream" ever since I first saw this as on VHS as a little kid lol

The chase with Who Framed Roger Rabbit OST? And BTTF music too… Brilliant
What does bttf stand for?
3:36 If you notice, you can see that the last 5 trucks (and brakevan) are the ones from the T.V. adaptation of "A Close Shave".
The fact you used the chase theme from one of my favorite Disney movies, the realistic Sfx, the SPECTACULAR Visuals! And the realistic and iconic feel of the rws and tvs mixed is just amazing

Literally nobody else has captured the runaway sequence more perfectly, I actually felt ducks struggle with handling the runaway! 10/10

I love the sound design, and pacing, of Duck's rescue from the barbershop. Your conveying of weight and scale, would make David Mitton proud!

I just got to say I love the way that engine tilted to its side. It remends me of the hits era gordons hill.
