Well it's that time of year again where I creep out of the shadows to drop a new video and then crawl back into hibernation for another year! I started making this video much earlier than usual, and I think that was a good decision. It was still down to the wire in the end (as always), but it was enjoyable and once all the pieces came together I started to really like the final product. It's definitely not perfect, but I think it's enjoyable enough.
I'd like to thank my wonderful voice actors, who really knocked it out of the park this year. In no particular order, they are SodorsNWRSteam ( / sodorsnwrsteam , 10Leigh10 ( / 10leigh10 , Sudrian Afro ( / thomaspercy99 , and TramEngineStudios ( / doctorthomas200 . Thanks as well to the wonderful musicians whose music really ties this project together.
While I may be the one who films and edits these videos, they are really a group effort, as without the voice actors, musicians, 3D modellers, and countless sources of inspiration, these videos would really be lacking something special.As always, I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it.

Thomas actually looks cool with cowcatchers and sideplates.
Shh. He might hear you
@itsEerierFish
Me too
I wonder if Thomas can wear two much bigger blue cowcatchers which can perform as his gigantic snowplow as well?
TBH he kinda looks like a tram LOL-
I agree
What a wonderful story. It's nice to see the scenario of what could've been brought to life if Toby didn't arrive. Any Thomas story that adheres to good railway practices and entertains at the same time is definitely a winner in my book!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
@@elsbridgeproductionsCan you Voice in my Series as
Voices
Bear
Merlin
Eagle plz
Even tho there's season 2 characters this gave me season 1 vibes for some reason
Oh man... I can imagine pictures being taken of Thomas with his cowcatchers and sideplates! They'd be all over the media! LOL
WELLSWORTH WHISPERER: Ffarquhar's Thomas is a tram? No. 5 James claims it's permanent.
So very funny! Thomas throwing James's insults back at him was gold!
Thomas said that passengers would laugh at him if he looked like a tram, but I had to try not to laugh, even audiences find it funny.
It is a good thing that the police didn't see Thomas without his cowcatchers and sideplates
Thomas: "I hate cowcatchers!"
Strasburg Thomas: "allow me to introduce myself & my cowcatchers"
@@SteamIsntKing lol hi buddy
This was perfectly put together. This truly feels like a classic.
Thank you!
I knew there was a reason I loved you, Wow- this felt just like watching a lost episode, the visuals couldn’t have been better & I had to marvel at finally seeing Thomas as a proper Tram. People like you are able to extend you arms with love and let thomas die happily in them knowing that he’s been a really useful engine
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!
haha thank you very much!
Actually I personally think that the side plates can have a transparent net at each driving wheels, so that we can still see Thomas'a beautifully painted blue wheels while moving.
And that shall allow him to breathe out steam from pistons more comfortably.
A lovely story wonderfully crafted through model-work. Amazing work.
This feels like a Season 1/2 episode! I love it!
This story makes Thomas gains his own removable cowcatchers and side-plates.
I can actually see this happening in real life, great work!!!
I Loved The Reference To Thomas In Trouble In The Railway Series Book Toby The Tram Engine In This Story And Thomas Did Wear Cowcachers and Sideplates Even if It Was Embarrassing and Funny This Was a Good Hardworming Story Thank You I Loved It.
The amount of effort and time you must’ve put into this is amazing.
Just about a month's work, I started earlier this year, otherwise I don't think I'd have finished it!
Yeah lots a time and effort just like the classic series.
These sets! Those voices! The story! All fantastic - you should be very proud!
Thank you!
Amazing work,and seeing thomas with cow catchers is wondeful,looks better then having the snowplough on in my eyes
This is the best thing ive ever seen. These episodes are great.
Thomas with cowcatchers and sideplates actually looks dope ngl
I think Thomas looks cool he’s doesn’t silly with wearing cow catchers

Stories about a grumpy Thomas never fail to be entertaining! The voice acting was superb and the models and sets looked fantastic. Hope you have a great Christmas and I look forward to seeing whatever work you produce in the new year!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
I was going to ask who narrated this short. But turns out to be SodorNWRSteam, so props to him for narrating the story.
He did a brilliant job!
@@elsbridgeproductions I agree.
This was lovely! A wonderful episode for Christmas Eve
Thanks!
Very nice work! I can’t believe this is entirely based off one line!
Thanks!
Absolutely amazing episode! Love it and great for the Christmas season!
Thanks!
This is excellent Luca. Well done with the stories and the sets.
Thank you!
Well done, that was a first class story, very unique.
Thanks!
The sets in the video were incredible! It felt like a true classic episode and the story came together in every way! Amazing work!
Thanks! That's definitely the vibe I was going for!
This really feels like I'm watching a Thomas Classic episode, amazing job on this
Thanks!
Dude this is a awesome video and of course it's probably all inspired by the one line saying Thomas would look silly as a tram. I absolutely love the story can't wait to see more in the future.
Thank you!
"Everyone will laugh, Sir," said Thomas. "They'll say I look like a tram!"
Cowcatchers on Thomas James this isn’t America
I gotta say Thomas looks good with cow catchers
In Strasburg PA, during the Day Out with Events, we can see Thomas with the Cowcatcher!
Looks like this came true after all, Thomas wearing side plates and cow catchers like Toby.
And does you and anyone else notice that Thomas doesn't have a cowcatchers at the rear? Only the front has!
Small details like 1:25 (Edward in the background with his whistle).
Well I'd never thought I'd see the day where someone takes advantage of Thomas In Trouble, this was put together perfectly!
There's also a story where the Constable tickets a load of cars including his Sergeant's, resulting in him being transferred to a desk job.
Rosie also meets a Constable but he's more friendly and says the Fat Controller arranged with the Chief Constable to revoke the law because of increased loads
That’s a good James voice.
Thomas looks cool with sideplates
I would pay a lot of money to make some side plates in cow catchers for my HO scale
Thomas: l dont want CowCatchers!
*later*
Thomas: im Thomas the Tram Engine Now.
Constable: (To James) YOU TOO BIG FELLOW LAW BREAKER!!!
basically Strasburg Thomas
Very impressive!
I have one gripe with this episode and that is that the head codes are wrong but apart from that is an amazing episode
Feels like a Season 5 episode US narration.
They are cool and you have your stuff on shape ways for a reasonable price
Thank you
Turnabout's Fair Play James
This videos is epic
Thanks!
Welcome back Elsbridge Productions!
The Outro Music Is AMAZINGLY GOOD
great job of making original thomas stories
Merry christmas Elsbridge Productions
merry christmas!
A cowcatcher wouldn't actually double as a snowplough as it's slotted; it would let snow through (as an American train engineer discovered to his horror during the Great New York Blizzard of 1888)
Yeah I did think about that. I guess I decided to go by the TV series logic where toby and mavis never seem to need ploughs, as well as the fact that the snow wasn't too heavy
Custom Bachmann Shooting Star Gordon With Good Details
That Thomas model is beautiful
thomas with side plates is an aesthetic
I remember watching this on CZcams Kids
1:29 just wait James it'll bite you in the tender
I quite enjoyed this!
Strasburg Version: Revenge!
Well done on this video! :D Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄
Merry Christmas!
Next level 👌👍 amazing!
Thomas if Toby never arrived on the Sodor be like
yes a new video
1. If you made Hercules from TUGS in the Shapeways store would you make the rest of the Star Tugs and Z Stacks?
2. Bandai or ERTL?
This was wonderful
Thank you!
Merry Christmas
😎
7:40 well what did i tell him 😂
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you too!
This is actually super cool. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
THIS WAS AMAZING, its like an actual classic thomas episode, though i think adding a lot more pebbles near the tracks could be better
Yeah I usually add ballast but I didnt want to add snow to the ballast as it would be hard to separate them again.
@@elsbridgeproductions k thx flr responding
If I were Sir Topham Hatt and Thomas told me he won't wear a cow catchers I'll take his branchline away from him or his coaches
Maybe the farhqare line should be a tram way almost 20 percent of the road meets the railway
This has inspired me to make my own custom tram engine
Very good video
Back in the classic in Trouble for Thomas when the officer told Thomas and SirTophem that the tank engine needed coach catchers, This made me laugh that he actually went threw with it.
Love your work.
Thank you!
@@elsbridgeproductions can I ask you a question?
@@kennethjoseph9309 of course
@@elsbridgeproductions I wanted to know of how you managed to film the engines up close with perfect accuracy in an area or even focused on an engine. I was thinking about next year after my spring semester of college is over is doing my own stories of engines using hornby models similar to Thomas just make up my own characters. What do you think?
@@kennethjoseph9309 I just filmed with a Canon EOS 700D and changed the focus to be on whatever I needed to see in the shot
Fantastic!!! Well worth the wait.
Thanks!
Still I feel bad for Thomas
Think about the episode Thomas In Trouble (Thomas Breaks The Rules) Thomas and Friends season 1 when he got into trouble with the police for not wearing cowcatchers and sideplates on the middle of the road railroad tracks for the tram only
Awesome job!
Thanks!
@@elsbridgeproductions You're welcome
Yes
Awesome dude
Nice video!
That looks coo on Thomas amazing episode I thought you'd never post again
Should've called it Thomas the Tram Engine. It's still good, though.
I thought about it but decided against it
Thomas WAS RIGHT they look ridiculous on him XD
What great bachmann double 0 gauge Thomas and Friends train models they have
But toby wears a snowplow in the illustrations of the railway series book thomas' christmas party
I suppose this is based more on the TVS canon where we never see Toby with a cowcatcher. I always assumed that he either wasn't strong enough to clear snow or that he didn't need one for light snow thanks to his cowcatchers.
Nice lad. Oh no you burped.
I would like if I did Thomas and his E2 shape not some sort of E2/j50 hybrid
Amazing!
Thank you
@@elsbridgeproductions you’re welcome!
This was great and why do I kinda like Thomas with cow catchers
Hah yeah, it's grown on me too.
At the end i heard tramenginestudios
Merry Christmas
Can you buy the Bachman Peter sam & yellow rheneas ? To review
They made Thomas have cowcatchers
Strasburg Thomas
I'd rather wear the cow catchers over a snow plow
