Upload: Episode 24 - Things in Water

Hope you enjoyed our rescue crew adventure with Oliver last week. This week we get another adventure with another great western engine. This week Duck gets a chance to see what it's like to be a real duck in our next adventure. It's entitled "Things in Water"

 
In this episode Duck is getting ready to take a train of fish from his branchline down to the harbour to go with the flying kipper to the mainland. Duck is waiting with Oliver in the yard when Henry comes in. They all talk about the time that Duck ran into the back of the flying kipper in a Season 4 episode entitled "Fish" Duck still doesn't like fish. Later Duck takes the train from the branchline to the docks.
 
While Duck is heading down his branchline Henry goes to the docks to take the flying kipper. On the way his axles feel stiff so when they reach the docks his driver oils them. The oil runs down Henry's wheels and makes the tracks slippery. No one is aware of it though. The docks is also full of rolling stock so the only place for Duck to stop is the quay. Duck goes to stop on the quay, but slips on the oil and can't stop and goes sliding into the ocean. Poor Duck.
 
 
This episode is similar to Percy takes the plunge. I wrote it kind of as a joke about Duck's name and how ducks swim in water. Hope you enjoy this episode and be sure to come back next Thursday for an adventure with James and Percy in "Quarry Trucks"

Upload: Episode 23 - Hooray For Oliver

Hope everyone enjoyed an adventure with out good old friend Toby. He didn't get very many episodes to himself this season, but I promise that in the future he will get more of his own. This week we get to see what it's like to be on the rescue team. No, not like The Sodor Search & Rescue Center in the cgi series. I personally find that a big waste of space. In this episode Thomas gets himself into some trouble so it's up to Oliver to save the day. This episode is entitled "Hooray for Oliver"

 
This episode begins with Thomas being a really useful engine taking coal cars up his branchline just like a normal day of work. However, when he crosses the red bridge part of the bridge collapses and Thomas' last two cars fall off the bridge. It's a terrible mess. Luckily, Oliver is in the yard and can come to help out. The yard manager tells him that he needs to collect two trucks of supplies, two flatbeds, the breakdown train, the works unit coach, and a truck full of ballast.
 
Oliver gets to work and collects the different trucks that the yard manager asked him to get. He even goes up the little western to collect the truck full of ballast. He doesn't realize that the truck he collected is Scruffey. Scruffey was put back together after the time that he tried to tease Oliver, but Oliver ended up pulling him entirely apart. Scruffey is out for revenge. Will he get it?
 
 
This episode just shows what the work that takes place in cleaning up after an accident is like. It's not very fun. So just don't make any messes and then you don't have to worry about cleaning them up. Be sure to come back next Thursday for our next adventure with Duck in "Things in Water"

Upload: Episode 22 - Toby's Surprise Party

Well last week concluded the rivalry between Gordon and BoCo on who is better Steam engines or Diesel engines. I think Gordon will be good for quite a while now. One character who hasn't gotten much spot light in my series is getting an episode all to himself. This week's episode is entitled "Toby's Surprise Party" So I bet you can't guess who the main character of this episode is.
 

In this episode Lady Hatt wants to throw a surprise party for Sir Topham Hatt's Birthday. She wants to keep Sir Topham Hatt away from Knapford so they can setup the party by all the engines. Lady Hatt asks Toby if he'd be willing to take Sir Topham Hatt around. Toby is happy to. He picks Sir Topham Hatt up at Wellsworth and heads to the viaduct because he knows that Sir Topham Hatt will like the view from the viaduct. Sadly though while Sir Topham Hatt is standing on the bridge his hat gets blown off! Now Sir Topham Hatt is very upset and demands to go back to his office at Knapford Station so that he can grab another. (He doesn't like showing off his baldness.)
 
Toby knows that he can't take Sir Topham Hatt back so he takes him to the village in the valley to go find a new hat just for his birthday. Sir Topham Hatt goes to a hat store in the village, but doesn't find a shiny black top hat. The store is filled with funny colored hats. Sir Topham Hatt decides that a funny looking hat is better than no hat at all, so he buys himself a bright pink top hat. Toby can't help, but laugh when he sees the controller. Sir Topham Hatt is embarrassed and demands to go back to his office. Will Toby be able to keep Sir Topham Hatt away?
 
 
This episode shows how doing favors for friends can help one another. Toby was kind enough to help Lady Hatt out and look at the great party they had at the end because of it. Please like, share, and subscribe! Be sure to come back next Thursday for another brand new episode entitled "Hooray for Oliver"

Upload: Episode 21 - The New Fuel

Hope everyone enjoyed last week's adventure with our friend Henry. This week we get to conclude the arguement between Gordon and BoCo that begun with BoCo losing his guard and led to Percy and Mavis' dispute. The story continues in this week's episode entitled "The New Fuel" referencing how steam engines and diesel engines use different kinds of fuel.

 
In this episode Gordon thinks that he is on top of the world since BoCo left his guard behind while pulling the express. Gordon thinks that this proves he is far better than BoCo. The other engines are now sick of Gordon's bragging. James gets after Gordon one night, but Gordon fights back and jokes about the time James ran into some tar wagons. This just upsets James.
 
The next day Gordon is taking a train of fuel to the other railway. He is still being very rude. He arrives at Wellsworth and needs Henry to help him up the hill. The two engines work together and get the train to the top of the hill. On the way down Gordon sees a red signal and tries to stop. Henry doesn't see the signal and colides into the fuel tankers at the end of the train. The fuel flies all over Gordon covering him. He is very upset. BoCo is passing by with a passenger train and stops to help clean up the mess.
 
 
Gordon finally got what he deserved. He also got to try out diesel fuel for the first time. I think Gordon would be wise to just stick with coal and water for now. Be sure to check back next Thursday for an adventure with our favorite tram engine Toby in "Toby's Surprise Party" See you next week!

Upload: Episode 20 - The Plumber's Express

Hope everyone had a fun time with Bill and Ben last week. This week we get another adventure with our green friend Henry. Yes Henry has learned his lessons about brake vans so he won't be having that problem again. This time he gets into an argument with Gordon about a special train of plumbers that Sir Topham Hatt asks him to pull. Hope everyone enjoys this week's episode "The Plumber's Express"

I love the rain scenes at the beginning of this episode. I liked it so much that I actually designated episodes in Seasons 2 & 3 to specifically have cloudy background and the rain effect on the video. It should be good. I haven't filmed it yet though. I'm still working on finishing everything with Season 1 and then constructing all the new little buildings I'm going to use. So that's a little update on current production.

In this episode, a flood after a rain storm ruined the plumbing system at the village in the valley. So a special train of expert plumber's was hired to repair the village. Sir Topham Hatt asked Henry to take the train. Gordon thinks this is a ridiculous train to take. He thinks that plumber's have a nasty job and don't deserve respect. This makes Henry sad. On his way to pick up the train he fills up on water. While he is filling up, garbage from the storm that was left in the water tower is now in Henry's tanks. Henry is later taking the train and has a pain in his pipes. The crew isn't sure of what to do, but they found out that the plumbers do. So the plumber's come to Henry's rescue.


This is a good episode on remembering that even if someone does a dirty job, they still deserve respect. Everyone should be respected no matter what. There is a certain level of respect that everyone deserves just because they are a person. Be polite unlike Gordon too. Come back next Thursday for an episode that might just conclude Gordon & BoCo's arguments in "The New Fuel"
