Full Episode Narrow Gauge Christmas

All the narrow gauge engines are excited for Christmas the next morning. They hear that Sir Topham Hatt has a special gift for all of them, but when they wake up the next morning the refreshment lady needs their help delivering goodies. Will the little engines learn the true value of Christmas?

Since I made all these episodes surrounding Christmas, I knew that the story about Christmas day itself had to be great. I couldn't fit all the characters into one grand Christmas episode, so I decided to divide it into 2 episodes, one standard gauge, and one, narrow gauge.

Full Episode Snowed In

Bertram is going to be all alone for Christmas like how he has been for every other Christmas. When the other little engines hear about this, they decide to have him join their Christmas celebrations, but when a snow storm hits and the quarry is snowed in, will that stop the heroic engines?

In the last post about winter episodes I explained how I used potato flakes, well when it came time to film the narrow gauge sets, I had gotten a little bit wiser. I found the layout snow that is sold almost anywhere during Christmas time and I used it instead. It was much easier to use, but had to be placed a certain way. The nice thing was that I had carefully planned which locations would be snowy, so instead of 20+ in season 1, I only had 3 in season 2.

Full Episode The Old Warrior

This week on the Island of Sodor, Bertram the Old Warrior, who was found by Toby in the Season 5 episode "Toby's Discovery" has returned from being restored and is going to run the newly restored quarry with the other little engines. Duncan is feeling a little jealous and decides to pull a prank on Bertram. Will Duncan be able to humble the old warrior?

I can still remember the day when I was at my local Walmart and I saw a picture of TrackMaster Bertram on the back of a box. I was so ecstatic! I had been collecting Tomy/TrackMaster trains since I was 2 and I never would've thought that they would make Bertram and Duke. When I saw him I knew that I had to put him in my series.

But putting Bertram in my series was somewhat of a problem. I had decided that my show would take place after season 4 of the TV series, but Bertram doesn't appear until season 5. So I decided to mix things up a bit. I would include season 5 as if it happened between the first and second seasons of my show. This was great because it would allow me to also add Arry and Bert; and a few other characters.

Past season 5 is when everything started changing to eventually become the New Series, which was far too different from the original Thomas & Friends that I grew up with. So I can surely promise all of you that no characters past Season 5 will appear in my series. Sorry no Emily. I've gotten many complaints about not including her.

Sights of Sodor - Snowy Quarry Junction

This week on the Island of Sodor, we journey up the line to see the snowy Quarry Junction! Watch as the little engines try to make their way through the snow by checking out the latest video!

So this is another set that is totally made by me and not a replication of any TV series set. Because of the Restored Quarry location that I made for Bertram, I needed to have a track that allowed the engines to get to the quarry. So this is what I came up with. I really like it, especially the valley look in the back. 

Today's short is the little engines trying to make their way through the snow. The latter end of Season 2 will have a lot of snowy/Christmas stories so to promote those I decided to show this off. Hope you guys enjoy!

Sights of Sodor - The Lakeside Station

This week on the Island of Sodor, we journey up the line to see the Lakeside Station! Watch the little narrow gauge engines doing their day's work around the lake and village by checking out the latest video!

What do you think? Did I do a good job recreating this set from the TV series?

This set has always been one that has fascinated me and I'm really glad I got the chance to remake it. In the Railway Series, the lake that the narrow gauge engines run around is just a simple lake, but in the TV series there was this awesome village that was situated around it. I loved watching the different scenes that take place here. I'm still very impressed with the modelers from the original TV show and what they made to bring Thomas & Friends to life.

When I was replicating the village I tried to get as close as I could with each of the buildings. I think I did a pretty good job, but you guys will have to let me know what you think. Sadly it was too hard to try and remake the blue bridge that normally appears on the left side of the village, so instead I added a little customized area of my own that has a shed for the narrow gauge engines to stay at.

Sights of Sodor - Sodor Castle Causeway

This week on the Island of Sodor, we journey up the line to see the Sodor Castle Causeway! Watch the little narrow gauge engines journey up and down the line throughout the whole day by checking out the latest video! 

Did I do a good job trying to replicate the castle in the TV series?

I don't know of anyone else who has remade this castle, but it was pretty fun to do out of foam. I drew up a design of what the  castle looked like and cut it out of foam and painted it and made the island that it is on. The building itself is actually a façade. The building is only painted on the front side just for filming these scenes. I was disappointed that the castle itself was never actually used as part of a story in any of the earlier TV series episodes so I made at least one episode that centers around the castle. I think you guys will really enjoy it.

Sights of Sodor - Restored Quarry

This week on the Island of Sodor, we journey up the line to see Bertram the Old Warrior at work! Watch Bertram shunt a train for Sir Handel by checking out the latest video!

Truth is I didn't even try to replicate the mine. I had fun making it my own original location.

I originally never planned to use any characters after season 4 of the TV series in my show, but when I saw Bertram was made for TrackMaster I knew that there was so much potential with his character that I decided to include him and the other season 5 characters. Bertram was a character that only appeared in 1 episode in season 5 of the TV series and has so much potential because he was never explored. So in my series, the quarry that he worked at has been restored and is up and running again like a normal quarry with Bertram running the whole show with the help of the other narrow gauge engines.

Sights of Sodor - Narrow Gauge Sheds

This week on the Island of Sodor, we journey up the line to see the Narrow Gauge Sheds! Watch the little narrow gauge engines bustle about getting ready for work by checking out the latest video! 

When I started making plans for filming Narrow Gauge episodes I knew right from the beginning that I wanted to use the same style of shed that is seen in Season 4 of the TV series. It was my favorite. I especially loved seeing all the bigger engines bustle pass the little engines who were having some conversation. In later seasons of the TV series the sheds were changed into a different form. They were situated more in the mountains, but I didn't really like that version.

It was interesting to see these sheds return right behind Crovan's Gate Station in the 18th season of the TV series.

Season 2 Release Date Announcement!

It's been almost 2 years since the end of Season 1 and in my opinion it's been far too long to keep you guys waiting. I feel really bad about how long it took to produce Season 2, but I had several unexpected things come up, but I was able to take the time and finish up Season 2 so that it is ready to be released now.

I'm sure a lot of you thought that Season 2 was going to actually start today, but that's not the case. Some of the episodes still have to have the eyes animated so it won't be until November 4th that you will get to watch the first episode of Season 2.

But! I don't want to leave you all disappointed. When I was filming all the Narrow Gauge episodes I was in love with all the new sets I had built and replicated to look like the TV show. So every Wednesday leading up to the release of Season 2 I will have a new video uploaded showing off one of these fantastic sets!

The names and titles of all the episodes for Season 2 are going to be kept a secret until the week before each episode is released. I will have a special sneak peak uploaded the week before to tease the next episode and get you guys excited!

Come back on Wednesday for another new video!
