No matter who narrates it, I wish that the "Reality" had been pointed out like in the RS. Making an escape from scrap much more dramatic, as scrapping for engines is basically death. Would have been real intresting to watch IMO. :D

sir topam hat is kind of creepy.he kills engines that have feelings,and can talk.I surpprised that no-one is breaking out every engine that goes to the scrap-yard.hat propbubly brain-washed the engines,or threatened to kill them.
Yeah at least he actually TRIED a Scottish accent unlike Baldwin who completely ignored the fact they were Scots and gave em normal voices. IMO Carlin was THE best narrator in the US.
you can clearly see mavis at 2:48 but what is she doing there she had already debuted on the show and in stepney gets lost mavis is in that episode playing a role, but stepney goes to this same diesal yard and mavis isn't there. they don't explain how mavis goes back to the diesal yard and how she comes back.
I like this episode - brings back childhood memories. Though i don't understand why it is even necessary to have an American-dub. Have Americans so abused the english language that they cannot understand it anymore?
you're right. ringo has the best childrens story telling voice (it was voted on). plus, i'm sorry, but the american narrator can't do a scottish accent
oh, and why can't they call him the fat controller on this version? He's always been called the fat controller, ever since the books were written! It's not like i grew up to be fat-ist! :P
worst, scottish, accent, ever! seriously, donald and douglas were scottish, they sound bloody russian on this. Plus, why do the americans have to change the narration on it? It's the same bloody language! It's a bit of a slap in the face to Rev. Audrey's original creation, and all it's charm, and to part of my childhood!
i think there's a scene in calling all engines where they show engine `skeletons` on fire. breaks my heart that does. p.s. i think diesel is actually quite nice.
I dislike all the new characters, Thomas was great when I was a kid, Only the main people. Gordon, Henry, PErcy, Thomas, James and Edward. It was great when it was only them. Now all these new characters tht come along make this great show knda bad. I collected Thomas until I got too old. And now I don't havwe it all.
I can't agree with you more Sabresfan94. Up till Alec Baldwin became a narrator, alot of new characters arrived. Pretty much since George Carlin quit, Thomas episodes went downhill. The first episodes were the greatest, whether you like Ringo Starr or George Carlin.
lol 4x4wheeldrive..i can understand. sometimes the faces on the models gave me the shivers aswell. i got scaired at the 1:13 part i was young...i dunno...it was jumpy
the only time when i got scared as a kid watching these is when diesel was all pissed that he couldn't move the trucks and he would move forward really fast.
Sacreledge!!!! You can't have a yank doing the voice over for Thomas The Tank Engine. He can't do a scottish accent, and Ringo Starr made Thomas his own. Michael Angelis did a good job, but whoever done this should be sued for making it crap.
u no wat's weird? years ago wen i was a little kid i borrowed a brand new thomas VHS from a library and the sounds were all there but the narrations werent. i don't understand how that's possible but it's true.
US version hands down. i'll agree angelis does a great voice but some of his voices are waaaaaaaaay to anoying sumtimes. i'd rather take starr ands carlin.
I remember the song from the rescue from when I was really young. It's nice hearing it again. Hate the narrator though. The Scottish accent is appauling.
I like the theme from the rescue(oliver's theme) but the UK Version is sucking! this one rules! the accent is MUCH better than the UK ONE! US version beats UK version hands down guys.
It just annoys me, is all. Some people hate it when knives skim plates, some people don't like it when people rake their fingers down a blackboard and I don't like this accent.
