    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.

    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!

    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!!!

  • @thomastsangthomas1616

    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 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)

    • @elsbridgeproductions
      @elsbridgeproductions  Před 3 lety

      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
