  • can you do brakevan in willie rushton verison

  • Right who grassed on douglas, great episode keep them coming

  • this is great its like watching series 1 and 2 again i feel the inner child coming oiut :-)

  • You have done a great job with the adaption! This really shows how creative you are with making videos! :)

  • Good episode would have been nice if they had released it when it should have been released.

  • That is a really good remake.

    I like how you modifided the Bachmann Thomas with a better face. :D ;)

  • What kind of Thomas is that? it looks like a Bachmann one but the face is different, better.

  • @MainlineEngine44 A bit of feedback would have been appreciated, Until then I am not answering your question

  • @Robtheredengine fine here you go. It was a great remake. please keep the videos coming, I really liked it.

  • @MainlineEngine44 See that didnt hurt to comment on was actually. Why do people not see the video is right there in front of there face.

    And in answer to your question its a bachmann thomas with a hornby face

  • @hornbytrainsets Do you mind not butting in to another person personal conversation!

  • @Robtheredengine Oh sorry, didnt mean to be rude or anything. Good "re"make by the way!

  • I have to say, if the background and scenery were up to scratch, the choice of sound effects, Willie Rushton's narration, and the excellent filmography would make this the best interpretation on Youtube. I think you can go one better with this one by putting in backdrops, proper track ballast, better lighting and similar. A remarkably convincing effort all the same.

  • @simierski Thanks for the tips man ^^ but I am very very limited, so of your suggestions are just out of my reach, the lighting I get from my bedroom is good enough for me ^^ at lest you can see whats going on.

  • @Robtheredengine - fair enough Rob, but make it an ambition to do better - my early BRWS vids were much the same, now I'm actively pursuing CGI...!

    In short, don't rule out a change entirely. There are no problems, only solutions.

  • @simierski I have mate ^^ Altho at times it feels like a ambition set too far for my standards.

    Wow ^^ that is an ambition and a half going for that,If I can say I enjoy your series as they are, it shows that there is still talent out there for model work that is similar to the work of the old Thomas and Friends.

    But this is your choice to make not mine and I wish you the best of luck with CGI mate, and unlike the new Thomas series I shall continue to watch and support your series.

  • @simierski listen mate i am not joking around anymore

    i know we got of on the wrong start before but can you please take into consideration that it was my school friends who spammed and ruined part of your channel and not the real owner of this user AKA me

  • The guy who narrates sounds like Jim Carrey as the Grinch.

  • i wonder why britt alcroft thought this would be confusing to children the narator keeps saying the engines names and tells them they are swaping tenders

  • Finally someone made a Hullo Twins and Missing Coach, i think after all the talk about the missing footage and rare picture, i think all twin fans were wanting this to be made! Well done!

  • Good job, Your Gifted at this!

  • @ikjam2 Thanks ^^

    Glad you think so

  • Is that you nartarting or someone esle?

  • @KingofNewAnglia Like I would narrate an ep XD

  • @Robtheredengine Sorry I was unsure...

  • @KingofNewAnglia Its alright =) No harm done

  • @KingofNewAnglia Its ok mate =) you didn't do anything wrong

  • Perfectly made as ALWAYS Rob :).

  • @hyouma09 Thanks mate =) glad you enjoyed it

    Also nice to have a new comment on it, its been a while since I received a comment on this =)

  • @Robtheredengine No problemo man.

  • @hyouma09 =)

  • 1stly, THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!! THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD MAKE IT BETTER (but not by much) WOULD BE SCENERY!!!

    2ndly, Where did you get such a small Fat Controller???

    3rdly, Just my opinion, but isn't the platform really far from the track?!

    4thly, Britt Allcroft was considering making this. HOW THE HELL WOULD SHE SQUEEZE IT ALL INTO 5 MINUTES?!

    5thly, Everything is soooo crisp!!!

    6thly, Seeing as this is exactly 10:00, I think HiT SHOULD buy it for 1000000000000 pounds and air it!!! WELL DONE!!!

  • Nicely done man! Love how you merged two stories into one and very impressive camera work

  • @dstu09 Thanks ^^ glad you enjoyed it.

  • Nice camera work and crisp audio. For a suggestion, when the front coupling is not in use, maybe consider removing it so the shot looks that much nicer.

  • @StartugSunshine Thanks

    And no thanks, that be too much time wasting, I really cant be bothered to keep taking them off and on, besides there is nothing wrong with them, it does not spoil the video

  • I hope one day they will put them on display so the public can see the original models used in the series.

  • @penninefilms A bit of feedback would have been appreciated

  • @Robtheredengine Oh sorry I do appreciated all the work you have put in to making this episode happen sorry if I sound like I did not like the episode.

  • @Robtheredengine A great adaptation felt almost like I was watch an Alroft episode...

  • @KingofNewAnglia Cheers mate =) glad that you did enjoy it

  • @penninefilms Some models ARE on display.

    Anyway, Rob worked weeks and months on this! The least you could've done was show a bit of appreciation!

  • @ThomasPercyandToby2 Looking back your right I should have showed him some appreciation for this episode as it looks like a lot of work has gone in to making this happen.

  • I love this remake, I wish I can make something as good as this. great work mate.

  • This episode remake is so awesome I haven't stopped watching this! :D

  • As I said before, I really love how you put all this together mate, really steady camera angles and the face-masking worked perfectly, probably one of the best uses of face-masking I've seen if I'm honest! Well done! :)

  • @TOPPictures Thanks mate =D really glad that you think so.

    Also glad that you did enjoy it and think that of my Masking job =), I think I am one of the few that does not use this so called Cookie Cutter

  • I agree but I don't think there ever yes the models agen. I wonder where all the models from the series are now?

  • @penninefilms Some are in side nitrogen studios in a glass case for the animation crew to study. 

  • Yay very well made, i do like Willie Rushton's narrations i like his voices i like the ending of the missing coach when he really knows, the Donald and Douglas look great too Bachmann have none a brilliant job on them.

    Great job

  • Wow, awesome! This turned out brilliant!  Looking forward to your next video. =)

  • @eddierools Thanks ^^

  • Excellent remake rob. What remake do you have in mind next.

  • oh douglas make me wanna lala

  • nice work, my friend! I am a big fan of your vids and I'm am getting Donald and Douglas on Sunday. I'm looking forward to that.

  • @ 8:39, is that Diesel I spy scuttling away?

    I thoroughly enjoyed your remake of this story, really felt like a Season 2 Episode, albeit a little longer than usual. Great work. :)

  • AWESOME job! LOVE the models!

  • @BillingtonE2 Thanks

  • This is awesome! Very well done - nice angles, a good amount of movement on screen (as the focus and in the background) and ver ywell put together.

    Nice job mate.

  • @therailwayinspector3 Thanks man =) I am very glad you enjoyed it. I was trying to make it look like something made out of series 2.

    Also I wanted to make sure that the shots were not boring, I wanted to make it look like some work was being done ^^

  • @Robtheredengine Ahhh, a trait I need to take on realy- my shots lack action.... something for the next series to note I think there.

    Well done again.

  • @therailwayinspector3 I think that be great man =) It would make your videos look alot more detailed, altho they are very detailed if I can say XD

    I look forward to seeing it mate. And thanks gain =) good luck with what you have in mind mate

  • @Robtheredengine Very well done. Very well done indeed! Keep up the good work! I especially love the masking! It's superior! Nicely done mate, nicely done.

  • It's my goal to do an ertl remake of this.

  • @lovfortrains A bit of feedback would have been appreciated

  • @lovfortrains Well rather than SAYING it (and not even considering all the work that Rob put in) DO IT!

  • @ThomasPercyandToby2 Sure, but it will be awhile.

  • @lovfortrains You don't get it do you?! How would you like it if someone came onto a video you worked so hard on and posted a random comment that has NOTHING to do with your opinions of the video?!

  • @lovfortrains Cannot you not see the video?! Still no feedback, would you liked to be blocked?

  • @Robtheredengine also I did like the video alot and I'm sorry I didn't put feedback and your video rocked but please don't block me.

  • Well I have to say this a splendid adaption; I enjoyed how you cleverly combined two stories together; it added much more meaning to the missing coach when we're introduced to the twins beforehand :) I think the other two stories in the book would go a long with these nicely; I know a remake is hard work and I fully respect that; just something to maybe consider for future remakes :)

  • @Damocles178 Thanks man =) really glad that you did enjoy the video, its one ive been wanting to make since I first read the story =)

    Also After you saying that I was thinking should I do a adaptation of the stories (Breakvan/Deputation) Or should I remake them from the TV edition.

    Could I ask mate, what would you like to see?

  • @Robtheredengine The Railway Series edition of those stories would be a nice change but that's entirely up to you :) The RWS version of Break Van does have it's moments such as the Break Van saying moments before he gets crushed "I wish I'd never thought of this!" and the Fat Controller scolding the twins for the tender trick. Either way I'm sure you'll do a good job whichever of the versions you choose :)

  • @Damocles178 Thats what I was thinking =) it shows just abit more in the RWS version than in the TV version.

    I think for a change I will be different XD besides it will be fun, thanks for the advice man =)

  • Brilliant adaptation. This would probably how it may have looked in the T.V. series, if they had actually finished it.

  • @tellymad649 Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

    I think if they had finished it would have been alot better than this ^^

  • @tellymad649 complete with approriate series 2 dittys

  • @NewController01 The one thing that always confused me with this story was, how exactly did the Fat Controller know that it was Douglas with Donald's tender? Could he tell by the eyebrows?

  • @tellymad649 Well, all I can say is, You Really think he would be fooled THAT easily?

    Other than that, I'm not sure, unless if Christopher Awdry holds the answer

  • awesome stuff as ever rob great remake ^^

  • @Tomthetrainfan Cheers mate =) really glad you enjoyed it

  • Not bad. I really liked this adaption. Can't wait to see what else you've got in store.

    Oh, and welcome back! :)

  • Great Job!

    I love how you made both "Hullo, Twins!" and The Missing Coach"!

    I hope Bachmann makes Duck too; that's the only thing keeping back from adapting these two stories myself.

    The only thing I don't like about the faces is that the characters always smile when in motion.

    But I love the part when Donald and Douglas confront Gordon and Henry, and I like Diesel's cameo!

  • Great work! Brilliant face masking and directing too!

    Also might I ask, which TFC model is that at 9:05 ? It's the only one to scale I've seen.

  • I think its about time the CGI series did this episodes it would be interesting to see how they would do it.

  • @penninefilms I would have rather seen it done in model, the CGI does not appeal to me

  • @Robtheredengine either way, would they get Ringo to reprise his role for it?

  • You've done such an exquisite job on this story. Perfect in every way. You truely are a master at your work!! The faces were brilliant and the music was put in all the right places. Spot on mate!! :)

  • @dcg12b Thanks mate =) glad you enjoyed it, I was starting to think I had lost my skills XD

  • @Robtheredengine I doubt you ever could lol :D

  • This was really good. I hope you do Breakvan and the Deputation

  • @FanboyD2 Thanks, I do have plans to make them in future.

  • This is just fabulous Rob! Definitely your best work yet! The attention to detail, the face masking and SFX were done perfectly! This is really top notch! :D

  • @RobertMProductions Thanks mate =D glad you think so. I was trying to give it a series 2 feeling with the background things and such =)

    Really glad you enjoyed it mate

  • Back with another vid at last! :P great work here mate, liked the cameos and shots, and how you combined the two stories together. Also like those s2 vans and brakevan ye made as well.

    Although theres two things that couldve been better(no offense or anything). A few moving camera shots would've been nice, and I think some non-Thomas music would've worked too, they're a bit overused methinks :P

  • @TheBlueE2 Thanks man I wanted to make some cameos of these, sort might make things different

    "sign" for the last time dude I cannot do them, they ruin the video so PLEASE stop saying that, I have tried and the outcome is rubbish so please dude ive had enough of comments like that, there are things in life that I can and cannot do.

    Also its a Thomas ep?! what do you expect to hear it in.

  • @TheBlueE2 Sorry if I sounded ticked mate, I do take your comment because comments from good mates like you means alot,

    I have tried mate but the result is always some shaky footage

  • Excellent Work Rob! :)

  • This is really incredible.

  • @scifiguy9000 Thanks, glad you think so

  • Awesome video, can't wait for the next one!

  • @GZA92 Thanks, Don't know when i can find time for the next one, also I didn't know there was a next one.

  • also to add to my comment cool cameo of Bachmann diesel at 8:38 very good of you to add him in and i agree with your description Bachmann should make duck it would be really good then they would of made 1 to 10

  • @Whizzer1 Thanks make, glad to know some people noticed him.

  • This is excellent did you repaint the a pair of the hornby thomas coaches becasuse the red on one of them looks darker than James coaches and also its good to see you doing remakes again keep up the good work

  • @Whizzer1 I did'nt repaint anything they are the old Hornby James coaches

  • Good to see you back here man :) Impressive as ever.

  • @96SmegHead I never went anywhere, thanks

  • This is AWESOME!!

    Can't wait for all the new vids!

  • @jaelli101010 Thanks

  • That was quite good really

  • @NewController01 Thanks mate =)

  • Very good work an very resourceful. I'm impressed,well done.

  • @smiladon12 Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it

  • Nice Animations Eyes at 5:39.

  • @TheYoshiPunch Thanks ^^ nice to know someone noticed my bit of animation on the eyes

  • 9:05

    Fat Controller: I like One Piece ^_^

  • @PokelordEX Lol

  • Brilliant work!

  • @Number2Studios Thanks

  • nice job! :D still very good!!

  • @9thetwins Thanks 

  • Fantastic!

  • @sammuel1993 Thanks, glad you enjoyed it

  • Beautiful. A fine piece of work, I really enjoyed that. Camera angles are good, and I loved the goods stock scattered around the yards and such. In short, I loved it :)

  • @tardisrescue Thanks mate =) I was trying to give it the feel of series 2, besides I think having something moving in the background would give it more life so to speak =)

  • @Robtheredengine It did work, and beautifully so. It's that attention to detail that I love about your videos :)

  • @tardisrescue Cheers mate =D I think that is what most people like about them ^^ all the same you could make something 10 times better than this XD

  • THIS IS SO EPIC I CANT TURN CAPS LOCK OFF

  • @PGW85Productions Thanks

  • @Robtheredengine ITS TRUE IM NOT LYING

  • @PGW85Productions Act more mature.

  • Once again, another great remake! Your camera angles are always really good, and your sets are very nice too. I like how at 6:30 it's like the picture in The Railway Series book.

  • @Coffeeshop246 Thanks man =) really glad you enjoyed it and glad you think so.

    I was trying to do shots from the book but at times I forgot about the book being open XD, I did try my best tho to make it look like the book =)

  • Very nicely done!

  • @missoliverandblossom Cheers mate =) glad you like it

  • Awesome. I love your remakes!! Long Live Robtheredengine!

  • @Danthe25Man Thanks, glad you enjoyed 

  • Great work, like always.

  • @darthwinsor Thanks

  • very nice!

    great episode. liked and favourited!

    i must get Donald and Douglas :P

  • @ThomastheE2engine Thanks

  • Every single thing was PERFECT! The music and sound effects were put in so perfectly that it just felt authentic! You never cease to amaze me! :D

  • @CybertronNews22 Thanks mate =) as I have said to a few people on here I was trying to give it a series 2 feel and look, not sure if I did it but I think i did pretty well none the less ^^

  • I must say great work. You never fail to disappoint. Though have you ever thought about doing A contest for prizes. I'm sure you could do one and get great feedback. This would boost your ratings cause come on who does not want free Thomas stuff. I mean They don't even have to be big prizes. Like you could give away a coach for a prize.

  • @Thomastrainboy Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it

    Sorry I dont plan on doing something like that, I am not one to judge other peoples work and I dont want to waste money on items, sorry but i would rather save and spend money for me and family.

  • Nice video i'm sure the episode would have been like this if they had ever made it. I liked 9 and 10 in this i did always like those two. I liked the station layout you set up i hope we see more soon, keep up the good work.

  • @x00001 Thanks mate =) I'm sure if it had been made it would be alot better than the one Ive made ^^

  • Brilliant

  • @siberiabear Thanks

  • An excellent job as always Rob. I can definetly see this as being how the episode would have turned out had it been released.

  • @TheCrapolaCompany Thanks Mate, I think if it were made it would be alot better than my version

  • A very nice remake of Hullo Twins and The Missing Coach. I like the atmosphere and sound effects. The only suggestion I have is maybe change the title of to "Hullo Twins and The Missing Coach." Besides that, excellent as always! :)

  • @HankandOliver1 I don't think I would call this a remake, because its never be done. Its more of a book adaptation.

    Also if i had thought the idea was good I would have used it but the title would have been too long and boring, beside a few other people have done the same thing, have they named it like that, No they have not.

  • Well Done, Rob. Turned out perfect.

  • @cybermurph04 Thanks, glad you think so and glad you enjoyed it

  • Excellent remake, as always. Very Wonderful!

  • @ThomasandDBZ2010 Thanks mate but I wouldnt really call it a remake, more of a adaptation

  • @Robtheredengine Okay and by the way, I'd be looking forward to Bachmann making Duck! That'd be awesome.

  • A fantastic re-enactment, Rob! Nicely done :)

  • @VeryOldEngine Thanks mate =) also I think it more of adaptation than a remake XD

  • @Robtheredengine xD Of course, my mistake

  • me likey! :D

  • @thomas5070 Glad you do

  • Without a doubt amazing! :)

  • @Robtheredengine You're welcome. :3

  • this my friend is without a doubt the best peice of work youve ever made i really enjoyed this Rob its a great remake of the two stories together keep up the good work :)

  • @oricalcross Thanks, alot of people have said that in the past about past videos, its funny how a new piece becomes the best and so on.

    Thanks and also i wouldn't really call it a remake, more of a adaptation

  • I just noticed you mixed tow stories into one, thats some badass work there, didn't even notice, keep it up man, and I so want to see the next half...and more :P

  • @cyberworrier94 Lol took you a while, glad you enjoyed the video.

  • Love it! I also saw Diesel in a background shot. Fantastically filmed :)
