    Steaming to Legacy is a unique retrospective fan documentary that tells the story of the Reverend Wilbert Vere Awdry, and his beloved children’s book series about the Fat Controller’s really useful engines, which eventually become a phenomenal franchise for over seventy years.
    Featuring the voice of Enterprisingengine93, along with archival footage, pictures and interview audios from behind the scenes. Also featuring Sudrian Steam’s significant suite of the Island of Sodor throughout the second half of the third chapter.
    The story continues after the initial broadcast on Children’s ITV, Britt Allcroft’s Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends became a raving success with two BAFTA nominations between 1985 and 1987 and spawns huge merchandising ever since.
    With Wilbert stepping out of his semi-retirement from writing any Railway Series material with ‘Thomas’ Christmas Party’, he went on to rewrite two of his stories as well as two annual books in 1979 and 1980 and contributes to write several chapters of The Birmingham and Gloucester Railway for P.J. Long.
    In 1987, Wilbert teamed up with his younger brother George Awdry to write an encyclopaedia book of the Island of Sodor that went out of stock and harder to find since it’s publication. Here we can learn more about the fictional island itself and it’s history.

    If I ever went to Sodor, I would spend time on Thomas's branch line and conducting interviews with as many engines as I could get.

    I started showing these to my 67 year old dad as he was the one who got me into Thomas & Friends back when I was about 4 years old, and he really enjoys them and keeps asking if the next part is uploaded yet. These are so detailed and so well made that It makes it so easy for me to share the history of one of my favorite franchises. And the story behind how Thomas & Friends was created is one of my favorites. Thank you so much for taking the time to put so much love and devotion into these. Dad and I will be eagerly waiting for the next installment in this series.

    Either there, or the Little Western. Used to live on an oceanside back in the day

    @LeScarletSinger2 Před 7 lety +4

    Stunning. Absolutely stunning. I can't wait to see what chapter 4 holds.
    As for where I'd go on holiday, I'd do Glennock. It's such a beautiful place.

  • @visionarylocomotiveworks9703

    After this, I feel now Thomas has such an extensively established, highly detailed universe that I can't compare it to any other children's series. It's pretty remarkable.
    All the areas on Duck's Branch Line would be beautiful places to visit, especially Tidmouth Hault.

  • @PeachLover94

  • @hyperpowerfulform5132
    @hyperpowerfulform5132 Před 7 lety +8

    5:38 to 6:29 Great bit there showcasing the expertly-done leitmotifs Mr. O'Donnell and Mr. Campbell assigned to each of the (main) engines. The leitmotif has to be one of the most clever creative ideas in artist-dom in my opinion. Done right it can create a whole world of music can enrich the world of the narrative. Shame there's been no OST release yet.
    That said, My music-loving-Top Hat's off to the like of MKtheinstrumentalist, Toby's Windmill, The Tuggster Intensifies, Sudrian Afro, Oliver11GWR, and Rexeljet for recreating the themes as best they can/splicing instrumentals where possible/finding the dubbing tracks. (if I'm forgeting anyone someone please tell me. Thank you.) Thanks to all of you.

    12:33 Never heard of that before either!
    If i were to visit Sodor, i'd start filming around Vicarstown after coming on a train from Barrow, after coming off a Northern service. I'd then head up to Skarloey, then to Ffarquar, and basically tour the Island's railways!

  • @nataliejarosz9360

  • @GeebMachine
    @GeebMachine Před 7 lety +5

    Lovely music; should definitely be considered for a theatrical Thomas movie. ;)
    As for a holiday spot on Sodor? Dang, that's a hard one. It'll pretty much either be a toss-up between the smaller railways (ie, Skarloey, Culdee Fell, and Arlesdale Railways) and the Branch Lines of Kirk Ronan and Norramby: the smaller railways because I've always had a fascination of small engines ever since they were introduced in Season 4 of the TV and when I first discovered the Small and Mountain Railways in 1997 (that was when I discovered the RWS Books after the Reverend's death, unfortunately), and the Kirk Ronan and Norramby branches because those (along with Peel Godred) are pretty much unexplored territory in the TV series universe (good potential for story ideas ;) ).

    • @SmurfyDan1991
      @SmurfyDan1991  Před 7 lety +4

      GeebMachine If you love the music by Sudrian Steam, you can check out the soundtrack used in this chapter on his channel for your listening pleasure.

  • @tugboatanni8594
    @tugboatanni8594 Před 4 lety

    Peel Godred, The Skarloey Railway, and the Arlesdale Railway sounds like good travel destinations (and maybe the Norramby and Kirk Ronan Branch lines, just to see what’s there)

  • @benjaminkellog7311
    @benjaminkellog7311 Před 7 lety

    My dream Sodor vacation spot would likely be one of the small towns, perhaps Tidmuth. We see so much of what the railroads are like, but almost never enough of what the average Sudrian experiences on an everyday basis. I'd like to play amateur anthropologist for a little while and explore the Sudrian grocery stores, booksellers, banks, etc. It drives me nuts sometimes just thinking of what these people read (besides TRS, of course)!

  • @thenvpshow7627
    @thenvpshow7627 Před 7 lety

    I would go to Knapford Station as well as the engine sheds and I would spend all my time talking to the engines. I would tell them what I know about each one as well as listen to their stories and what life is like on the island of Sodor. I would also tell them how much each of them mean to me and that I love them very much!

    If I were to go on holiday to the Island of Sodor, I would like to spend the week in a hotel at Tidmouth. Then on Monday, I would like to travel on Thomas, along his branch line, in Annie and Clarabel. And then on Tuesday, I would like to travel on Gordon’s Express, along the main line to Wellsworth, and change there to travel on Edward along his branch line to Brendham Docks. On Wednesday, I would like to travel along the main line with James, to Crovan’s Gate, to travel along the Skarloey Railway. On Thursday, I would like to travel to Kirk Machan, to travel along the Culdee Fell Mountain Railway. On Friday, I would like to travel along Duck’s branch line, on either Duck himself with Alice and Mirabel or Oliver with Isabel and Dulcie, to Arlesburgh West, to travel along the Arlesdale Railway. On Saturday, I would like to have a day of rest. And on Sunday, I would like to go back home to the Mainland!
