- SURPRISE!!! Very Happy to be sharing a new project with you and my first video based on the works of Wilbert!
A Huge Thank You to Sudrian Rails for letting me use his spectacular new model of Gordon!
Another Thank You to Mainland and Jje09 for creating certain assets seen in the video
Big Thank you to Carson08022000 for making the music which should be on his Audius or Soundcloud soon
and a Special Thank You to A Tropical Mango and TheTrainiac123 for letting me use their S4 reskin of Knapford Station
Hope you enjoyed the video and hope to see you all again soon! Turah!
Fuck (apologies, I have to swear so that I can keep my comments)
I had my eyes glued to the London engine and I'm amazed at the detail.
The City of Truro model was never powered in real life. And in this adaption seeing it repurposed as the city engine, we don't see it move, and we don't see it's eyes move either.
Beautifully detailed, I'm in awe.
Why's steam coming from it's funnel?

You made the impossible: making Gordon goes Foreign in the TV series formula. I love this! I'm convinced that this is the best adaptation of Gordon goes Foreign so far. It's just breathtaking! Well done!
Truly an impeccable project, it’s almost scary how dead-on you got this video to the TVS. Every bit of this was beautiful, I’m glad to see we left Gordon in good hands :)
Thank You so much again dude, It's honestly Beautiful work and a pleasure to work with
Did you get the Duncan model from Mainland Studios?
@@billyjudd3326 no its TSI's model, they very kindly sent it over to me for testing
@@SudderyStationMaster oh i see.
Sudrian industries how come you didn't release Duncan?
Brilliant job on this TVS-style Gordon Goes Foreign adaptation!
I was certainly taken aback by a reskin of City of Truro being used as the BCE instead of the planned modified Henry. That's one way of putting his model to good use one last time before turning it into a scrap prop!
Wait, it got turned into scrap?
@@bernarda1247 Yes.
Look at the scrap piles in Stepney Gets Lost and Magic Railroad for example.
This belongs in a museum! It's beautiful!
First off I like the little Awdry cameo in the intro. The repurposing of City of Truro's model makes... a lot of sense. The crew definitely would've reused him, better than making him scrap.
A thing I really like in this that you do is you make every setting busy. Right at the start we see the terminals at Knapford are full. Then we cut to Tidmouth Sheds and the sidings are absolutely full. You can see engines in the back shunting and talking with each other, making the world feel alive.
SFX, cinematography, and lighting were all perfectly in line with season 4. And I absolutely love the close-up shot of Gordon as he proclaims he'll prove King's Cross is the head station. The shot of Gordon and the express on the viaduct should be framed.
So much detail on the newspaper as well, most people would just write gibberish on something that's seen for only a few seconds lol.
This whole video really did feel like an additional episode of season 4, like something that was just shelved because of some issue or another. Well done!
Side note: You use Premiere in your videos right? Why not adjust the aspect ratio of the project to 1440x1080, so you get a 4:3 video? Not a big deal, just a thought I had about it.
I'm so excited for this!
Normally, I despite adaptations of Gordon Goes Foreign since it's one of those things that has been done to death, but this one actually manages to stand out from the rest.
There are quite a number of things I liked while watching this, repurposing City of Truro as the Foreign Engine, having Class 40 as the mainland diesel, and the use of Crovan's Gate as a substitute for Vicarstown.
I also appreciate the effort to make the video as close to an actual classic era episode as possible, down to the lighting and the 4:3 aspect ratio.
Overall, I enjoyed watching this video. It manages to do a lot of things other adaptations of this story miss out on, the way it's structured into a 4 minute episode, and generally, it was well worth my time watching. Can't wait to see your future content.
I agree. The choice of changes made it more believable as a tv series adaptation. And attention to detail like the detailed close ups of the human characters and smaller gauge one models, was a nice touch too. It’s clear that a lot of care is made in your films. It makes all the difference. I think your channel is going to get more popular. 🙂
Yeah and we didn't really see that much of Crovan's Gate in the show. It's standard gauge section only plays an important role in one episode.
In all honesty, just because something is done to death shouldn’t detract from its quality. The reason it’s adapted so often is because it’s a good story. Nonetheless this is absolutely fantastic, I loved this so much.
@@TheBrickGuy7939wich episode?
@@bernarda1247 Bowled Out.
Ohhhh, brilliant!
I, too, called London "The Big City" in my version of this! Can't wait to see your take on it!
This is an incredible adaptation of Gordon Goes Foreign! You nailed the Season 4 vibe absolutely perfectly, from the lighting to the sets to even the engines' whistle sounds! I liked how you reused some of the one-off characters for this story - City of Truro w/ smoke deflectors as the Foreign Engine and D261 as the derailed express engine - both of those seem like things that the TVS crew might have done. Consider me a subscriber! :)
Good glory, this was absolutely remarkable!
I got such Season 4 vibes from this video (my personal favorite season), and all the touches added in from the scenery choice, background characters, lighting, music tracks, and even little details like Gordon using Duck's whistle just tied it all up in a breathtakingly accurate package.
I also loved the use of City of Truro's model for the Big City Engine, a very unique choice that feels quite fitting considering the model was never used again until Season 5 onwards as a scrap engine.
Overall, this was the single best TVS adaptation of Gordon Goes Foreign I have seen yet... I don't know how I haven't found you yet, but you just got another happy subscriber! (:
my goodness suddy, there’s a lot of people working behind the team on this one. It’s a surprise to see Carson tuning the track this time around but a welcome one nonetheless, though IvattBlue is just as talented in his own way! SR has come stunning with the new Gordon model
we haven’t really seen a story focused on the mainline or beyond sodor from you yet so this will be a real treat, hope you’re keeping well these days !!
now you listen to me Suddery Station Master
I’ve seen some GGF adaptations in my time but this one honestly takes the cake. I loved how you made it how it actually could have been done. The repurposed City of Truro and all, most clever. Carson’s done a lovely job with the soundtrack too, I look forward to seeing more from you !!
I know I already commented on the video, but I just can't get over how beautiful that Season 4-style Big City Engine is! I saw the BTS pics on Twitter as well! A clever nod to Queen - Breakthru with the livery and the face and smoke deflectors actually being separate props. I had a feeling that was what really happened, which is a shame because I would've loved to see him thundering down the line. I could see the merchandise of this BCE if he was actually a thing! He'd probably have more than what the RWS BCE had!
Every adaptation of this story I've seen thus far has just been a repeat of the RWS story. But this actually feels like a classis series episode. Please tell me you plan to do more in the future.
This replicates a Thomas episode from the Model Series era so well.
It almost felt like I just watched a lost episode.
Felt very Season 4; super impressive!
Not to be confused with "Gordon and the Bigg City" where he encounters a certain port while touring America... (with all the TUGS stuff floating around, I couldn't resist)
Link?
Can you send me a link? Please?
Still waiting for the link
Alright, you’re obviously lying, you not telling us that means that you’re trying to cover up the fact you’re lying, shame on you.
This is a wonderfully faithful adaptation of this story in the style of the TVS. It’s done exactly the way they would have done it. And I loved the detail of using different models for the closeup shots of people than distant shots. Splendid work!
Nice new model of a visiting engine. Could've sworn it was gonna be Reginald or someone. Also, love the papers.
Ooh... Bowler got owned! Must've been silently mocking Gordon for all his failed plans. LOL
the attention to detail about everything, from the routes, models, the little things (like the newspaper article), narration, lighting and just everything just blows me away with each new video you produce and they just keeps getting better and better! keep up the amazing work as always!
It’s incredible how this feels like it’s plucked straight out of season 4 or 5! Great job Suddery!
Amazing adaptation!
Very much captured the season 4 style!
I love this "What if" genre of videos, and have done similar things myself!
I noticed, unlike what is said to have been planned for this episode- Henry being modified- you went with City of Truro being modified instead.
Given what they did for Smudger, that does seem to be what they would have done for The Big City Engine.
I could just see there being merchandise for this BCE if that ended up happening, haha.
Interesting take on a famously adapted story; really captured the feel of Season 4 with this. :)
You know, the more I think about it, Gordon Goes Foreign makes a much better season 4 episode than whatever was accomplished in season 2 or 3. More sets, more characters, and more flexibility to work in a story. Splendid work man!
That black engine is similar to the one from Queen's "Breakthru" where it has the same livery.
The engine in Breakthru was a GWR 2884 Class.
Alright I’m gonna be the one to address the elephant in the room, Gordon was going the wrong way to the big city. All jokes aside this was amazing the music, visuals, and all these videos are just some breathtaking and inspirational. keep up the great work.
I love how it feels like a TVS episode. Grand job! 👍🏻👍🏻
This was impressive!
Astounding as always! Your eye for direction is next to none. The fact that you take key locations from Series 4 and neatly incorporate them into your work here, is effortless. I could gush over this more, but instead I'm going to sit and enjoy watching it again. Well done mate! :D
Nice interpretation of Gordon Goes Foreign. I can see this being what they might have done if they went ahead and adapted the story for the TV series.
Thomas fans be like if matel don’t care we’ll make our own episodes ourself. Well done
Mate, this is just outstanding! It genuinely feels like I’m watching an episode from Series 4!
The little detail of Wilbert Awdry on the bridge in the intro is just awesome.
Oh yeah! Another video with that spectacular new Gordon model!
amazing work man! you're heavily under-rated man, keep doing what you do man! 🍻
I love how this is done in an almost series 4 style and works perfectly
Everything about this adaptation is so well done, the Iconic intro is actually done decently well(only complaint is the camera angle at ffarquhar station not looking right) the shots and dynamic angles used look straight off series 3 and 4 and lastly the music cues not only fit their required scene but also capture the series 4 style of music which is such a delight to hear.
I absolutely love that you were able to recreate this story almost scarily dead-on with only slight differences. I love it!
That was a great way of doing Gordon goes foreign in a season 4 style! 😉👍🏻 I love the way you use Class 40 as the engine that got derailed. Great way of using an existing character! 👍🏻
If Gordon Goes Foreign got it's chance to be part of a season 2 episode.
Well done indeed. This was an amazing adaptation
I love this! The duck Gordon and bce joke is always great! Especially including him being sad it was none of the ones from the argument lol
Your videos are always so splendid.
That shot of Gordon on the viaduct would make David Mitton proud
Bro you're really nailing it with the classic series vibe
I like that you made it a season 4 style adaptation of Gordon goes foreign at the normal length of a classic series episode and using d261 as the engine to take the express to the big city and who got derailed and made a fool of himself again.
I like it how city of truro and d261 returned.
You squeezed it into the 4:30 Runtime of the Classic Series!
This would fit beautifully into Season 4 (could also fit well into Season 5).
I like how you used Crovan's Gate as the main line terminus, this is something that could have actually worked for the TVS model canon because it looks like a station that could be a terminus, and it would really sell Vicarstown as being the 'far away part of the Island where only the diesels work'. I imagine that regular mainline passenger trains end at Crovan's Gate, while the section between there and Vicarstown is for goods, with occasional special passenger trains running (like the one from Bowled Out, which Duck and Stepney took to Crovan's Gate, and Gordon took the rest of the train further, possibly to Barrow.
Anyway, just my theory that stemmed from this excellent video, great job once again.
Nicely done! I really enjoyed seeing Reverend Awdry on the bridge in the intro!
Marvellous episode, I love it! This one is part of the Series 4 episode tv style and the mentioned about the Big City from Thomas and the Special Letter, this one is based from the Railway Series episode, Gordon Goes Foreign was cancelled for the Series 2 planned, can't wait for your next episode soon!
Always thought it was a nice nod to the engines' heritage that they would know London by their own railway's station there. Given the place's importance and how many railways went there, the number of stations is quite impressive, even more so when you include all the suburbs and the greater area of the city.
Gordon's of LNER pedigree, so naturally that's King's Cross (I wonder if he ever noticed a scarlet train coming and going from a hidden platform there?)
Duck is Great Western, so that's Paddington.
The visitor was from the LMS, so that would be Euston, St. Pancras was an LMS terminal too.
It's like the original series of Thomas the Tank engine has returned. These are beautifully put together. I love watching these and I'm officially signing onto your channel because of how good there are.
Very impressive within the RWS/S4 style on this episode.
I was confused at first as to why the city engine was a bizarrely edited City of Truro instead of his appearance in the book, but in hindsight, it does sound like something the original crew would do in order to cut costs, much like they did with other models of one-time characters.
Regardless, this was an impressive adaptation! It's shocking how much attention to detail to the TV style you've managed to capture. Your videos are the perfect manuscripts for real episodes.
2:25-2:35 James and Class 40 being friendly? This is a miracle.
Grand job. I like the method of reusing set-pieces with different camera angles to make it look like Gordon wasn't where he actually was, if you follow my meaning.
God I *CANNOT* get over how visually stunning your videos are. If I didn't know here, I'd say these were real episodes from the show.
My goodness the TVS style editing was impeccable.
You never fail to impress. I love the season 4 vibe this has and don’t even get me started on how cool your take on the foreign engine is so creative. Fantastic work as always. I really need to start coming to premiers
2:41 Let this be a lesson to you Gordon: Leave the tricks to the little engines. They have more knowledge of that than you do.
You make the best videos dude it’s unreal
It looks just like a Season 4 episode that was never released! Stunning visuals, as always
3:36 I like the custom touch to Gordon's theme there, it reminds me of both his season 5 theme and Duck's adventure theme (more or less).
This episode would be like "Gordon Goes Foreign" on "The Eight Famous Engines" story
This seems like a Season 4 version of Gordon Goes Foreign! Well done!
this is what i fell the story would have been like if it had been made into an episode during season 4
Amazing work as always, an interesting take on the engine that Duck and Gordon argue with. I like it. Keep up the good work.
Not a bad addaption this is more of a re-watched for me as old my channel was deleted and migrated to this new account can't wait to see your future project soon!
I’ve always wanted to see this episode
This looks...incredible! Simply incredible! Keep up the awesome work! 👍
To be honest I watch this in 240p just to make it feel like an old episode from my childhood
Very nice work!! Feels just like watching a season 4 episode. Well done, you've gain a new sub!!
I absolutely love the series 5 feel of this, well done!
Gordon and the big city alternitive title: Gordon goes forgen but re-written
This feels just like a Season 4 episode
I love the intro instant nostalgia
Gordon literally traveled over a hundred miles from home just to prove someone wrong lol
Honestly, I am amazed at the modified City of Truro. When I really think about it, if the show went a different way, then City of Truro's model would've likely been used as the Big City Engine.
Gordon and the Bigg City
Another fantastic video suddery! I like how you used City of Truro as the foreign engine, keep up the good work!
Really has that S4 vibe to it. I like it. 👌❤️
Gordon: It's king's cross!
Big city engine: It's euston!
Duck: It's paddington!
Me: Oh my God! Who the heck cares?
Someone should just tell them that it’s all of those stations because the city is so big.
Imagine if Very Old Engines stories Crosspatch and Bucking Bronco were adapted into one. It would give more background to Skarloey and Rheneas.
gave me season 4 vibes very gud
This was real great truly can’t wait to see what else you got in store.
Thia is SO GOODI hope more people see this!
Feels like Gordon Goes Foreign from the Railway Series all over again!
Now this.... does put a smile on my face :)
Ha! Treasure Planet at the end! Brilliant!
Is that what the credits were referencing? Those credits seemed awfully strange to me.
@@RoseSupreme Yeah it's Treasure Planet, I always never have enough credits to fill the whole theme at the end so I like to fill the empty space with Quotes from my favorite films
@@SudderyStationMaster I actually saw the movie a few months back, haha.
What a lovely adaption! Who did the reskin/model of City of Truro?
That was by Tony22!
Gordon's Theme S4 & S5
I usually avoid watching stuff made by fans because the visual quality is usually quite poor and it hurts the viewing experience.
This however, was very well done technically and felt quite authentic. The models and the scenery looked great and the whole thing felt more like a real episode.
This was fabulous
Bro the graphics on this are insane
Aww yes good to see they finally adapted that for tv took them long e.......phone rings excuse me
Yes hello they..... but....wait.... I see.....I'll tell um
Well done sir that was quite the remake felt real enough for me for sure

Gordon Goes Forein Season 4 (1995)
hey that's me
Never got why the TVS was always reluctant to make Sodor explicitly off the coast of England. Was it an international thing come Series 3 and Shining Time?
