@Harvo902 Hi, Thanks for the post. We use Apple's Garage Band to make all our music tracks so the track doesn't have a name. All our video sound tracks are made up of lots of music loops and sound effects so hope this helps. Keep watching!
@byrnz35 Hi, Thanks for the great comment. We have great fun making these little videos. We get our garden railway stuff from various shows and shops. The circus stuff is made by Bachmann Trains and is very good value for money. We get ours from two shops called Back2Bay6 and Gscaleonline here in the UK. Hope you keep watching!
@ripcurlripper Hi, Thanks for your great comment. It's really exciting when folks say such nice things. We are very lucky to have such a lovely garden and railway to play with and film. I am sure there will be lots of new videos in 2012 so hope you both keep watching!
@AtooZ17 Hi, Thanks for your great comment. We shall be doing another circus video soon as we now have some more circus animals and extra rolling stock. We shall just wait for the nice weather to start filming so hope you keep watching!
Wow! Love this video! The quality is excellent! Of all the Thomas the Train videos on youtube, my little five month old nephew didn't move once and was so intrigued with this video of yours!!! We both love the music and the vivid bright colors!
@bygingeroot Hi and what a wonderful comment. Thanks so much for taking the trouble to post it over. We love it when folks let us know what they think and especially when they tell us about their little ones enjoying the videos. We make them for our little ones as well so it's great that folks all over the World enjoy them. It's Winter here now so not much filming in the garden without any sunshine. I guess there will be some more Thomas circus videos in the Spring so hope you keep watching!
@102trains Hi, Thanks for the post and glad you like our circus train. I guess there will be more from the circus train in 2012 so hope you keep watching!
@darknight4797 Hi, Thanks for the post. So glad you like our garden railway and our little videos. It's Winter now so the videos will be few and far between. We shall be making lots more in the Spring so hope you keep watching!
@thopsonline2fan Hi, Thanks for the post. All our little videos are made with just pictures, sound effects and music. We try and make the videos so little folks can make up the dialogue for themselves. We usually make these video in one day so it would take a lot longer to plan and fit the pictures to real voices. Never say never, but we don't plan to put words to our stories at the moment. Hope you keep watching!
Wow a really cool video I wanted to know the music it is good and my brother and i watched it and he wants me to make my own Thomas video to share with him so I want the music
@MultiLego51 Hi, Thanks for the post. We use Apple's iMovie and Garage Band to make our videos. The music is made using music loops in the Garage Band software and we have added sound effects and repeated the music loops to fit the video. Glad you enjoyed our little video and do have a go at making your own as it's great fun. Keep watching!
Really coll :) I like the idea with the indians :) Can you please tell me what Really cool :) I like the idea with the indians :) Can you please tell me what mark are the persons, animals etc.Are they Bachmann :) are the minifigures :)
@JesusBlack14 Hi, Thanks for the post. Here you go. Most of the railway workers are made by Bachmann, the passengers at the stations are from Pola and the North American Indians, North American settlers, farm animals, horses and covered wagon etc are made by Schleich. The people in the carriages are from Gscaleonline and came in packs so not sure who makes them. Hope this helps. Keep watching!
I love your videos - you obviously work hard on them and fully deserve all the wonderful comments here. You have a fabulous looking garden railway and it also looks great fun - For all ages!
@ba14eagle HI, Thanks for your great comment. So glad you enjoyed watching our little videos. Just checked out your own channel. Wow! - 00 Gauge in the garden. What a great idea. Your railway looks fantastic with a 'real life' feel. I love seeing the wonderful indoor British 00 model railways but your railway takes 00 to another level. I wonder what 00 would look like on Pine Tree Junction. Leaves on the line would take on another meaning altogether. Also, cats and pigeons!!! Great fun!

@ComediTv37 Hi, Thanks for the post and your nice comment. We don't use a camcorder but a Canon DSRL EOS 500D with a 18-200 lens. We edit on iMovie'11 and create our sound tracks with Apple's Garage Band. Lots of DSRL cameras can record HD video now. We record at 30fps in 1080p but add lots of effects to the pictures and the sounds. All really easy after a few goes. Hope you keep watching!
@Intransitman Hi, Thanks for the post and the nice comment. It's great when folks enjoy watching our little videos and make nice comments about them. We make our videos for family and friends but it's great when other folk enjoy watching them as well. With over 1 million views now on Pine Tree Junction it's fantastic that we get some many viewers. Hope you keep watching as I am sure there will be more videos along soon.
@Bachmannmodeler Hi, Thanks for the post. We like the Circus train as well and plan to do another circus video soon. We have one or two additional things to include so I guess it won't be long before there is a new one up on the Pine Tree Channel. Hope you keep watching out for it!
@oliverhrichardson Hi, Thanks for the post. We have thought about putting a little smoke unit in the smoke stack but not sure it would damage the plastic body. I think we will leave it to folks imagination and just film our live steam locos which really do have steam coming out of the smoke stack. Thanks for watching and hope you look at some of our other live steam videos.
@Themodeler100 Hi, Thanks for the post. We don't really film in the rain although the locos and stock run fine on a wet track and even seem to run better sometimes. It was raining a little this week when we were filming so check out our new video later this week and see if you can see the rain drops in Sandy Bay. Hope you keep watching!
@MicroVlogTV Hi, Thanks for the post. Glad you like our little garden railway videos. We use a Canon EOS 500D camera with a Canon 18-200 lens.

@JesusBlack14 That's great. We didn't like Percy's face that much when he was released but he has really grown on us. It's funny how the three large scale locos have a little personality, even out on Pine Tree Junction. I guess there will be more Bachmann Thomas stuff later this year which I am sure will do very well. Hope you have fun and keep watching!
Yes, theyre great.But, sorry, i have one more question.I will get the Thomas set For Our club in Bulgaria, there, our track is 4 kilometers and there are lots of tunnels,bridges and depos.But there me use Marklin Spur 1 (1-32) and the track is 45mm.Can youn tell me What electricity use Thomas-alternatif or normal 2rails system (straight electricity), for more easy (AC or DC)Thank you in advance!Kosyo
@JesusBlack14 Hi. The Bachmann Thomas large scale will work on a two rail 45mm track with power to both rails. It all depends on your mains electricity source in Bulgaria. We use a UK transformer with input of 240V AC and an Output of 20V DC to the track and 24V AC for accessories. You could change Thomas to batteries and radio control. Hope this helps.
@JesusBlack14 Hi, Thanks for the post. The Bachmann large scale Thomas locomotives don't have traction tyres like some G Scale 45mm locos. They work really well and have extra weights in the loco and the tender. Their wheels do spin sometimes on our up and down railway but it all adds to the fun. Even though they are made from plastic they are really strong and have taken a few knocks already. They are fine for family fun running and filming and should last a long time. Hope you keep watching!
@f304 Hi, Thanks for the post. If you look closely you can see that we just tied the car on with some string. It makes sure it doesn't come off and is easy to remove when necessary. Hope you keep watching!
@matt814211 Hi, Thanks for the post. Glad you liked it. We had some fun doing this one so I expect we shall be seeing some more Circus videos soon. Hope you keep watching!
Hello pinetreejunction im a new youtuber but before that i seen most of your videos and they are amazing ,you must of spent a lot of money on all this and i geuss u had fun make the routes and making the films ,btw the steam effects on the other trains from thomas ,percy and james are awesome ,keep going with this :)
@flyingshiner1257 Hi, Thanks for the post. Glad you like our videos and our garden railway. We mainly run live steam locomotives made by a company based in Doncaster England called Roundhouse Engineering. Thomas and his friends are electric track powered locos but our live steam locos are powered by burning butane gas under a copper boiler filled with rain water. The water turns to steam which powers the cylinders and drives the wheels. It's not a cheap hobby but it's great fun. Keep watching!
@flyingshiner1257 Thanks for getting back. YouTube is a great place to share things with family and friends so I hope you enjoy using your channel and visiting places like Pine Tree Junction.
@chrisrussell1 Hi Chris, Many thanks for your great comment. We get a huge amount of fun from making these little videos with our cartoon buildings and up and down garden railway. We run both 45mm Roundhouse Engineering live steam locomotives and G scale Bachmann stuff so we get lots of variety and ideas for our videos. Hope you keep watching!
@trainsandtrek Wow! So glad you liked it. We do try hard to make little videos that folks will enjoy so it's great when we get comments like yours. Thanks for posting and do keep watching and commenting. We really appreciate it!
@OneTrueThomasFan Hi, Thanks for a wonderful comment. We certainly tried to pack as much as we could into four minutes. The music is from Apple's iMovie and Garage Band software. It's made by Apple for folks like us to make amateur videos on their home computers. We film on a Canon 500D SRL with a 18-200 lens and edit on a MacBookPro. We shoot at 30 fps which works best for YouTube videos. Garage Band is a great program that you can create endless original music tracks. Keep watching!
@ThomastheE2engine Hi, Thanks for the post and your great comments. I think we have to say that 'one thing always leads to another' with our video ideas. We may build or buy something new or someone puts a comment up that gives us an idea. We also watch some of our subscribers videos and take ideas from them. We only do these little videos for family and friends but it is great when other folks like them as well. Hope you keep watching!
@wwwfrankwww Hi, Thanks for the post. Now we have the Bachmann large scale James, he looks really great with Thomas and Percy. I am sure we shall be making more Thomas videos soon so hope you keep watching!
@SkeenaPac Hi, Thanks for the post. Yes - we have started to do a detailed shooting script as these little videos are getting more complicated. We did over 100 shots and included over 70 in the final video. We try and keep them to 3 to 4 minutes as we think any longer would be boring. We also try and shoot everything in one day so that things don't change from shot to shot. It took six hours to film, about five hours to edit and two hours to upload to You Tube. Hope you keep watching!
I have an idea for a film, why don't you film the entire Pine Tree Railroad in the same style as you di at 2:41 that way we can see what the engines see on the track ahead.
@thomas5070 Hi, Thanks for the post. Glad you like the dolly shots. We put the camera on a tracking truck which gets pushed or pulled by the locomotives. The camera just about goes under the bridges and the stations, although it is very heavy and sometimes topples over. We have to put a heavy counter balance on the truck to allow the camera to point left or right. It just about works but would be very difficult to do a shot all around the garden. We will see what we can do! Keep watching!
@Railwaystation1 Wow! 10 out of 10. That's 100%. What a great score. Thanks a lot. We love making these little videos for our family and friends, particularly our very young fans. The circus train seems to have gone down really well so I guess we shall be making more circus videos soon. Hope you keep watching!
@ATKFOH3 Hi, Thanks for the post. How are things on Stout Mountain? The Bachmann circus stuff is great to photograph. It all goes really well with the British Thomas, James and Percy locomotives. Not sure if Thomas went to North America, but he does in Pine Tree Junction videos and we think he looks great. He would look good on Stout Mountain railway as well. Keep watching and filming!
@RobertMProductions Hi, Thanks for the post. I must admit the Circus theme works really well in the garden. We made the new Circus tent from some red and white ribbon on a wooden frame. It looks better than we expected so I guess we shall do some more with it in future. Hope you keep watching!
@pennyf9 Hi, Glad you like it. We have done nearly 40 videos now so we have to keep coming up with new things for our viewers. Hope you keep watching!
@rspike462 Hi, Thanks for the post. Glad you like our latest video. Now we have the Bachmann large scale James it's great to get them all in the same video. We had to fit an on/off switch to all three engines so they could park up. We use track power so they all go together unless they are switched off. It may be better to have battery radio control but that will have to wait. It does make filming a challenge but it's all great fun. Keep watching!
@BramGroatFilms Hi, Thanks for the post. Glad you like the video. The music is from Apple's iMovie and Garage Band. We use the software for all our videos as it's easy to use and you get great results. We did look at a few Thomas stories to get some ideas. We did see one about Thomas and the Circus breaking down and James and Percy coming to help. Hope you think ours works as well. Keep watching!
@MrTrainman12 Hi, Yes - we have been outside with the camera again. I have never seen a Lionel loco over here in the UK. What are they like? Do they do a James and Thomas as well? Anyway, keep watching!
You could've had Annie & Clarabel at the the front of the train so the performers, brass band, and acrobats have more room than in that red coach. The red coach can be for the conductor and ring master.
@Woytek101 Hi, Thanks for the post. Why didn't we think of that! You should join our script team. We always think of things after the filming day. We promise to get them in next time. Please keep letting us know what you think and of course - keep watching!
Yet another utterly charming video, lads. You've got a real gift for direction. The shots are beautiful, the camerawork is faultless, and so many little touches, like the cowboys and indians, the canoe in the river, and the circus train travelling, picking up passengers and unloading animals and props for setting up the tent; all tell a delightful story.
Loved the music as always. And the Bachman rolling stock looks so compatible with the Thomas Engines. Nice one.
@MrDCWood Hi, Great to hear from you and thanks for the comments. We have been making these little videos for just over a year now so we are getting better at knowing what works and what folks like. Our main audience are family and friends, especially the little ones. We have some really young fans who just love to see the locos on the video and then come and see them for real. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the detailed comments. It's great to get such excellent feedback. Keep watching!
@JamesBondsSkyline Hi, Thanks for the comments, as always. We only meet up once a week and it's been three weeks since we last met. It took all day to film these few minutes as we had to do several shots over and over again. The Backmann locos work fine as long as you keep the wheels and the track clean. They look great in the big outdoors and make excellent subjects to film. Nice bright colours and they move!!! Hope you keep watching!
@cactus190706 Hi, Thanks for your great comments. It's so nice when folks like what we do. We have great fun making these little videos so it is an extra pleasure when folks make nice comments. Many thanks!!! Keep watching!
@65patbill Hi Bill, Thanks for this. It is always good to hear from you. Glad you like our new one. We had great fun getting this right yesterday. It took lots of goes to get some shots right and there are still some rough bits. Anyway, it all adds to the charm of the eternal Thomas locos and their adventures. We don't really follow the books or the videos but just do our own thing. Folks seem to like them anyway. You are never too old for a Thomas story! Keep watching!
@howarth004 Hi David, Thanks for this. Our first comment on this one. We filmed this yesterday in the bright April sunshine. The garden looked great so it was easy to make things look nice. These Bachmann locos work really well and make an excellent subject to film. It makes a huge difference with sun and shadows which gives the video lots of depth and perspective. Anyway, it's all great fun so glad you enjoyed it. Hope our Thomas fans like it as well! Keep watching!
Wo dude nice layout! brings me back to my childhood :)

@chrisrussell1 Hi Chris, Many thanks for your great comment. We get a huge amount of fun from making these little videos with our cartoon buildings and up and down garden railway. We run both 45mm Roundhouse Engineering live steam locomotives and G scale Bachmann stuff so we get lots of variety and ideas for our videos. Hope you keep watching!

Was incredible!! :D
But what music was this?
OneTrueThomasFan 10 months ago
@OneTrueThomasFan Hi, Thanks for a wonderful comment. We certainly tried to pack as much as we could into four minutes. The music is from Apple's iMovie and Garage Band software. It's made by Apple for folks like us to make amateur videos on their home computers. We film on a Canon 500D SRL with a 18-200 lens and edit on a MacBookPro. We shoot at 30 fps which works best for YouTube videos. Garage Band is a great program that you can create endless original music tracks. Keep watching!

@ThomastheE2engine Hi, Thanks for the post and your great comments. I think we have to say that 'one thing always leads to another' with our video ideas. We may build or buy something new or someone puts a comment up that gives us an idea. We also watch some of our subscribers videos and take ideas from them. We only do these little videos for family and friends but it is great when other folks like them as well. Hope you keep watching!

Do you storyboard these things? They are just great and fun to watch. Thanks for taking the time to do it! Cheers!

@SkeenaPac Hi, Thanks for the post. Yes - we have started to do a detailed shooting script as these little videos are getting more complicated. We did over 100 shots and included over 70 in the final video. We try and keep them to 3 to 4 minutes as we think any longer would be boring. We also try and shoot everything in one day so that things don't change from shot to shot. It took six hours to film, about five hours to edit and two hours to upload to You Tube. Hope you keep watching!

I have an idea for a film, why don't you film the entire Pine Tree Railroad in the same style as you di at 2:41 that way we can see what the engines see on the track ahead.
thomas5070 10 months ago
@thomas5070 Hi, Thanks for the post. Glad you like the dolly shots. We put the camera on a tracking truck which gets pushed or pulled by the locomotives. The camera just about goes under the bridges and the stations, although it is very heavy and sometimes topples over. We have to put a heavy counter balance on the truck to allow the camera to point left or right. It just about works but would be very difficult to do a shot all around the garden. We will see what we can do! Keep watching!

@Railwaystation1 Wow! 10 out of 10. That's 100%. What a great score. Thanks a lot. We love making these little videos for our family and friends, particularly our very young fans. The circus train seems to have gone down really well so I guess we shall be making more circus videos soon. Hope you keep watching!

The colors of the circus train go very well with the rest of your garden. Enjoyed watching your video.

@ATKFOH3 Hi, Thanks for the post. How are things on Stout Mountain? The Bachmann circus stuff is great to photograph. It all goes really well with the British Thomas, James and Percy locomotives. Not sure if Thomas went to North America, but he does in Pine Tree Junction videos and we think he looks great. He would look good on Stout Mountain railway as well. Keep watching and filming!

Keep up the videos!

@RobertMProductions Hi, Thanks for the post. I must admit the Circus theme works really well in the garden. We made the new Circus tent from some red and white ribbon on a wooden frame. It looks better than we expected so I guess we shall do some more with it in future. Hope you keep watching!

rspike462 10 months ago
@rspike462 Hi, Thanks for the post. Glad you like our latest video. Now we have the Bachmann large scale James it's great to get them all in the same video. We had to fit an on/off switch to all three engines so they could park up. We use track power so they all go together unless they are switched off. It may be better to have battery radio control but that will have to wait. It does make filming a challenge but it's all great fun. Keep watching!

The Music is Epic!
There's a Season 8 episode of Thomas which this bears resemblance to.
BramGroatFilms 10 months ago
@BramGroatFilms Hi, Thanks for the post. Glad you like the video. The music is from Apple's iMovie and Garage Band. We use the software for all our videos as it's easy to use and you get great results. We did look at a few Thomas stories to get some ideas. We did see one about Thomas and the Circus breaking down and James and Percy coming to help. Hope you think ours works as well. Keep watching!

@MrTrainman12 Hi, Yes - we have been outside with the camera again. I have never seen a Lionel loco over here in the UK. What are they like? Do they do a James and Thomas as well? Anyway, keep watching!

You could've had Annie & Clarabel at the the front of the train so the performers, brass band, and acrobats have more room than in that red coach. The red coach can be for the conductor and ring master.

@Woytek101 Hi, Thanks for the post. Why didn't we think of that! You should join our script team. We always think of things after the filming day. We promise to get them in next time. Please keep letting us know what you think and of course - keep watching!

Yet another utterly charming video, lads. You've got a real gift for direction. The shots are beautiful, the camerawork is faultless, and so many little touches, like the cowboys and indians, the canoe in the river, and the circus train travelling, picking up passengers and unloading animals and props for setting up the tent; all tell a delightful story.
Loved the music as always. And the Bachman rolling stock looks so compatible with the Thomas Engines. Nice one.
MrDCWood 10 months ago
@MrDCWood Hi, Great to hear from you and thanks for the comments. We have been making these little videos for just over a year now so we are getting better at knowing what works and what folks like. Our main audience are family and friends, especially the little ones. We have some really young fans who just love to see the locos on the video and then come and see them for real. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the detailed comments. It's great to get such excellent feedback. Keep watching!

JamesBondsSkyline 10 months ago
@JamesBondsSkyline Hi, Thanks for the comments, as always. We only meet up once a week and it's been three weeks since we last met. It took all day to film these few minutes as we had to do several shots over and over again. The Backmann locos work fine as long as you keep the wheels and the track clean. They look great in the big outdoors and make excellent subjects to film. Nice bright colours and they move!!! Hope you keep watching!

@65patbill Hi Bill, Thanks for this. It is always good to hear from you. Glad you like our new one. We had great fun getting this right yesterday. It took lots of goes to get some shots right and there are still some rough bits. Anyway, it all adds to the charm of the eternal Thomas locos and their adventures. We don't really follow the books or the videos but just do our own thing. Folks seem to like them anyway. You are never too old for a Thomas story! Keep watching!

howarth004 10 months ago
@howarth004 Hi David, Thanks for this. Our first comment on this one. We filmed this yesterday in the bright April sunshine. The garden looked great so it was easy to make things look nice. These Bachmann locos work really well and make an excellent subject to film. It makes a huge difference with sun and shadows which gives the video lots of depth and perspective. Anyway, it's all great fun so glad you enjoyed it. Hope our Thomas fans like it as well! Keep watching!
