[DoctorTankEngine]

@Paublo79

Thanks Paublo79, I still can't quite believe it if I'm honest!

[NarrowGaugeEngine]

Hey, DoctorTankEngine, I'm sorry if it seems like I copied your idea at all, or anyone's ideas for that matter.

[BasicModelling]

I used to have (well, I still do have) a similar little loco for my Marklin railway.. it no longer works, perhaps it can be restored? Nice to see this one, and a great video.. :)

[leokimvideo]

This is now a featured video on Simon's comp, thats the partner connection kicking in.

[Damocles178]

This is my favorite entry. It has such a nice realistic feel to it and it's the only one I know off where the Character tried to lie about exactly when it was built only to be interrupted. I liked learning about the J52. I actually went to read a bit about it after watching this. Hard to believe it was built between 1898 to 1951; it's impressive to say the least since the design lasted so long :)

[Damocles178]

The story is simple but interesting since it describes Wensleys life perfectly since he does a lot of work around the station just like many engines like him. I mean J72 not J52.

[DoctorTankEngine]

cheers, tried to go with something simple, and something that would fit into the BRWS.

Glad you liked it mate!

[leokimvideo]

I see plenty copied this as well, the trick with competitions as with the one I ran earlier is enter in the final days, that way your entry can't be copied in any way.

Any way it is well noted you were the first with this idea, it is a very good entry.

[DoctorTankEngine]

yeah your right Leo. This was my first entry into a youtube comp, and hadn't really crossed my mind people would copy,

Worth knowing for the future, cheers mate

My comp was in a way totally different, but nearly all the winning entries were derived from the last 2 weeks of the competition time which was 3 months.

There were some very good early entries which I believe suffered from over exposure within the comp, nothing worse than being the obvious winner, often the little quiet video will sneak through to win the gold.

[DoctorTankEngine]

yeah your right, definitley will wait next time.

Well I know Simon and the Mystery Judge will make the right choice, and who ever wins will certainly deserve it i'm sure

[simierski]

Certainly a contender for the crown. Many imitators of this video, thats for certain.

[DoctorTankEngine]

Cheers mate

[DoctorTankEngine]

[TrainzMovieTheatre]

Nice job.

[noakesy1234]

Nice one Tom, wouldnt be suprised at all if this won!

[Damocles178]

If this won I wouldn't be surprised. It really is a very interesting character :)

[Damocles178]

It also has the feel of a character in Simierski's series, great work! :)

[simierski]

A nice use of the models Tom.

[DoctorTankEngine]
