nice thumb!

[simierski]

@leokimvideo - thanks Chap :) I'm trialling it to see if adding the face makes a difference to how the video's views does. Adding a face on most videos does indeed make a difference, but I'm unsure if an engine's face falls into the same category.

At 4:13 Alan derailed, his driving wheels are inside the rails.

[simierski]

@whistleforthebigcash - no he isn't derailed, he has more finescale wheels than the hornby models around him, and therefore the look is "right" (the outside of the wheels and flanges fitting perfectly).

'Land Of Hope And Glory' INDEED, Sir!

Lovely stuff. I shall save it for my great-grandkids.

Hi Rob,

Thanks very much for your compliments. I only wish I had more time to devote to making this series look better - the more eye catching it is, the better the story can be told. Kind Regards, Simon

What a great series! I wonder what the Reverend Wilbert Awdry would have to say about this! ;)

From Brack, age 5: I liked it when the big blue engine left the old Western engine behind, and then went back for him.

From Clement, age 9: very creative

From Dad: very helpful video for bringing up the next generation "correctly" ! Well done.

Lovely, I found this completely by accident, wonderful stuff :)

@: 2:01 What's in my mind: *Butcher talking quickly* "During the war, I had to help the home guard stop a runaway train. It's going to hit the King's straight- oh, and the Vicar, Virgin, the A.R.P.P. Person-"

"Enough already!"

*continues* "-was a handcard, pulling us at the brake, so I.S.S. to the Captain *?* says-"

"QUIET!!" Good job on that; I just added som pizzaz to make it even funnier; anyways, good part of script!

[DOMORCIDEA]

Lol at the dad's army reference!

[startug]

If the Reverend W. Awdry was here, he would be proud to see that you take railway realism seriously.

From seeing this episode for a third time I can see just how much the series have changed to the sets and the track work itself. And can I ask will any old engines be returning to the series in the episode to come?

I bet poor Allen was the subject of "Jazz Service" jokes when he got home.

[whistleforthebigcash]

Oh, my bad. Yeah, I haven't seen that kind of fit before. Sorry.
