The Nostalgic Years: Episode 2 'NEAR MISS' (Thomas the tank Engine and Friends)

[jsreed5]

I watched this right after seeing a few stories narrated by George Carlin, and all I could think of at first was "It's a near hit! A collision is a near miss!"

[lumlin2000]

Joshua my 4 yr old son loves this too :)

[Lisavinny]

Cool! This certainly is Retro Thomas!

P.S, settle a bet; is Henry an A3 or a Black Five?

[englishtwister]

@Lisavinny I always thought and told he is a Black Five. an A3 has a trailing set of wheels. Black Fives do not. and different makers.

[willow232]

My childhood is being raped before my eyes, and by eskimos no less.

[SodorProductionsII]

@willow232 Excuse me? This story was written by the son of the creator of Thomas, and was merely adapted into an animation made with Trainz. How is that ruining your childhood? If you thought this was bad, then take a look at the actual show now, THEN tell me which is worse. ;)

[SingerEllieLouise]

COOL



[extragman]

the lite man the lite man!

[LogiForce86]

Omg... love the music from The Thunderbirds in this. lmao

[1215scorpio]

my brother love this

[ggamer2004]

Reminds me of Ringo-era Thomas. It's reaaaallly weird watching this, because I'm not personally interested anymore haha, but I had to see what you did since it's very good.

[TheVerseOfDoom]

im 18 and i still love to watch these after a hard day of work in college. watching these shows really take me back even though im 10 hours away from home. thank you

[BramGroatFilms]

The narrator sounds kind of like Basil Rathbone.

4:05 So much for that!

Wow! six coaches; longer than in the TV series!

I collect Bachmann Models, and after seeing this, I think I'll have a set of trap points outside of Tidmouth Sheds!

[MrSmokin123]

how did u make it i cant find any thing that will make it

[soulsface]

When Henry runs away is that thuderbirds music. Doesn't matter. I love this vid. Well done! When's the next one?

[kimiwhoowhoos]

3:12 haha the first time i heard that bit it made me jump!!! i love all the Nostalgic Years episodes!

[StabelyUnstable]

This was great! But as George Carlin would say- "That's not a near miss, it's a near hit!!!"

[super58173]

Wans't there a Wooden Railway Version of this? I remember someone getting drunk...

[mikeymusician]

SIgh... Memories.

[yourmamaluigi]

excellent story!

[aitch3]

My four year old loves this!

[TTTENostalgic]

@aitch3

Bless you, well he will be pleased to know there is a new episode out tonight

[Mr27ace27]

keep going! I love these videos!

[MrPetermackin]

[carson08022000]

May I be a member of si3d

[AtoliHydra]

you did well, I think^^ I enjoy watching these stories and it feels authentic which is much better than most other fan made stories I've seen^^ love this series^^

[DarthWill3]

Say Goodbye Henry! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[cbolanz]

think again darthwill3 the trackpoints saved my tender and my opinion for them to leave is changed i am now excepting them for saving me

[DarthWill3]

Relax. I'm just pulling your wheels.

[cbolanz]

ok thwn but not too hard or you'll loose it like last time signed cbolanz

[Upr1s1ng]

Henry's face at 3:00 is hilarious.

[ARSchimke]

i am glad hennry is ok

[trainlover479]

near miss? that was a near hit! a collision is a near miss! *BANG* Oh look they nearly missed lol

[jamiegoddard4]

@trainlover479  thatsjust penickty. Right, but penikity.

[trainlover479]

but why do they call it that? i dont understand

[jamiegoddard4]

I don;t either, but they evidentlly do.

[tencents6]

I think it's called a near miss because it's another way of saying there NEARly was an accident, but the accident that was about to happen was MISSed just in time

[1997larsson]

can u down load the following eppisodes ovliver gets the bird ovliver's sparkle and all pull together

[tbum7677]

dumb firelighter

[CarGuyZM10]

I sure hope they fired that firelighter.

[nintendoalien479]

@CarGuyZM10 Maybe he's the same one from "Thomas comes to breakfast"?

[CarGuyZM10]

@nintendoalien479 Possibly, and maybe some years earlier he was one of the kids who played with James' controls in "Old Iron"

[nintendoalien479]

@CarGuyZM10 Are trying to say that The fat controller hires children as firelighters?

[CarGuyZM10]

@nintendoalien479 Hahaha, no. With the books, there is a few years between "Old Iron" and "Thomas Comes To Breakfast". The child could have grown up in that time, and been hired (although why The Fat Controller would hire someone with that record is beyond me). Then again, Skarloey's railway has little girls cleaning the engines, so why not have children lighting fires :P

[addcted2halo]

You're a great story teller man! :D

[Headbanger142]

Wow, how stupid are these firelighters on Sodor?

[TheThomasfan1991]

loved it! The Thunderbirds music was a nice surprise too.

[ShukakuTheCrazy1]

brilliant work

[lucaslikesthomas]

5/5 Great work keep it up!!

[markkeown]

Nice work. My 2 year old loves it.

[ByronleeS]

Exactly what Thomas should be, with a bit of railway knowledge, Thomas doesn't have to be as educational and repetetive as it was 2 years ago to captivate children

[astridlynn]

Captivated my 2 y/o for nearly 6 minutes! Great! ...he's signing "More now".

[TTTENostalgic]

That's great to know, and an honour that the intended audience (children) find it enjoyable.

Episode 3 is in production...watch this space :-)

[hartleymartin]

Can't wait to see episode 3!

[stingrayfan2007]

Do u know what episode 3 will b .

I reckn u ought 2 have a go at doing the Duck/Diesel stories from some of the annuals

[Damocles178]

If you look at his background; it will provide an indication on what Episode 3 is about.

[BusterTheSteamroller]

I seen this today and was impressed of what you did to it. :)

Great work, narration and adding a really suited soundtrack to the video including one of Thunderbirds Music. :)

10/10!

Dan5589/BTS/SEF1991/TPC2

[xapemanx]

wow nice 3d work

[stingrayfan2007]

Where is henry's tender at 4:56

[Skarloey123]

It's there.

[TheWaluigiking]

@stingrayfan2007 it's tipped over a little bit

[LaLouSh69]

it almost looks like the real deal.. well done.

[hartleymartin]

What I love most is that this story has a real Awdry-esque feel to it and it's about railways! Far better than the rubbish being pumped out by HiT entertainment.

[TTTENostalgic]

cheers :-) thats what I'm trying to achieve!

Tom

[KnapfordHarbour]

Another fantastic job! I really enjoyed the plot of this episode, and you always manage to balance dialogue with action quite nicely. Well done!

[captstar1]

That was awesome TomTank, nearly had me on the edge of my seat smiling when I heard the steam coming out of Henry's piston ever so slowly. This would have made a great season 2 or 3 episode of the classic TV series.

[Damocles178]

I think some of the Fat Controllers staff put safety first right after everything else XD I can't believe the firelighter tried to drive a steam engine that he clearly knew nothing about; he's just as bad as the naughty boys that started James in "old Iron" though in their case the movement was almost instant. Great work once again.

[NemesisHero123]

Cool :D

[NewController01]

Good choice of a Thunderbirds theme in this

[RobertHew]

this is a great episode, it's very cleverly put together

[prarietank262]

i've always wondered what those were

[thomastankloversam]

That was FANTASTIC!!!

[517wiiface]

NICE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RobertMProductions]

This is excellent!

[TrainzMovieTheatre]

Really excellent!

[VPT2]

Again pure Brilliants A+++++ 1,000,000 out of 100 perfect once again

[TroublesomeTruck]

Watching this story adaptation was BRILLIANT! I really enjoyed it - give yourselves a pat on the back, guys - you deserve it! =)

[TTTENostalgic]

Thanks Jim, really glad you enjoyed it

[AlexKouhiFan]

Splendid.

[Robtheredengine]

this is awesome, you made this really well, i can't wait to see more of your work.

[UnluckyTug06]

I've never seen anything in such excellent quality, such a great story too.

[TheBlueE2]

amazing! great episode! this should have been televised :D

great narrating too, and the horror music was pefect :)

[sparkshot]

Pretty cool, I lied the absence of music in the shed letting the slow screen transitions create the atmosphere, brilliantly done mate. The shot of the cylinder getting abit of steam and Henrys face changes also worked well.

[SI3DFilms]

5:49 on the end credits, Thomas is on a track that ends!

[Thomas4trainz]

Excellent piece of work. Kinda like "Percy Runs Away" combined with "Old Iron". Very good camera work, too, I might add.

[PercyandBillyfan828]

Well Done =D

[goldwoodthomas]

Exellent work as all ways

[BhanuHabbo]

The trill of all of that,I LOVED IT! I actually got scared when that creepy music started :-P

[TTTENostalgic]

thanks TMRReturns.

Not sure yet, need to work on my other series North Eastern Steam :-)

[SI3DFilms]

That was BRILLIANT! Well Done!

[TTTENostalgic]

cheers mate

just waiting for it to show in HD....damn processing lol
