After how the Mid Sodor's decline came to be, it's time to start exploring the cause of its decline, the Peel Godred electric branch. But let's not get negative here; the electric engines rarely get any exploration or development, especially the ones that came to the branch line first. I'm glad TheBuriedTruck took the opportunity, and did it... shockingly well. Hope you enjoy it.
Tired of shunting, James takes one of Edward's goods trains to Killdane, where the electric branch line begins. There, he meets not one, but two mechanical engines that seem to've come from another world.

I've released adaptations of whole Railway Series books (though not altogether), but adapting a whole fan-made story arc is something I've never done before. So here's the first part of TheJollyMariner's "Oliver and the Diesel Engines" saga, complete with a foreword at the beginning. The rest of the stories should be out in the coming weeks or so. Hope you enjoy it.
Oliver meets Daisy while he's sent to work on Thomas' branch line. Still hateful towards diesels, he sets out to prove that he's more reliable than her kind. But a problematic level crossing ends up throwing a wrench in his plans.

While Gordon is pulling a local train on the Main Line, he and his crew come across a burning hay bale under the bridge near Killdane. Fortunately, Gordon's fireman puts the fire out in a clever way.

I know it's been a while since my last remake, folks, but we've finally got something to start the New Year off right. Only this time, the episode's been uploaded in full (with special thanx to Damocles178 for instructions with that). Hope you enjoy it.
Frank is upset to learn that the Thin Clergyman is writing a book about Mike, Bert and Rex and he's not going to be in it. So much so in fact that he crashes into the back of the shed, causing it to crack. But he soon makes up for that when Rex's steam pipe leaks while he's pulling a full passenger train.

Starting today, I'm reuploading all my RWS remakes that had been split into 2 parts as full episodes. This way, you can see all the episodes without having to go to another video. And once again, the audio is courtesy of NewContoller01 (thanx, bud). Hope you enjoy it.
Henry is sent to the Works for an overhaul via coupled in front of James and the Express. But along the way, disaster strikes.

This is a story I've wanted to adapt for a long time. I didn't put it into production earlier because I had other stories I wanted to film first (I was also unsure everyone would get their lines in for it soon). But I'm glad it all came together in the end, right down to Shining Time Works producing a fantastic Arthur model, the best 2D-faced variation of him so far. Hope you enjoy it.
Arthur is enlisted to cover a sleeper service while James is at the Works. He is determined to run it perfectly, but his efforts to not make mistakes cause him to do just that.

And thus concludes my take on the "Lost Little Engines" saga. I had a lot of fun working on it, especially seeing as I got to explore more of the Mid Sodor Railway in Trainz. I want to give a huge thanks to @lionsmaneorchestra:4 for helping me with some of the music; he did a wonderful job as always. Hope you enjoy it.
The Mid Sodor's traffic begins to decline after the Peel Godred branch is built. With no work left for them, Jim, Tim and Albert are kept in the shed, and eventually sold off.

This is the first time I've done a story from the same book twice. Hope you enjoy it.
The engines have to start using a new sort of coal that gives them pains in their boilers because of the excess ash build-up in their smokeboxes. One day, Henry can't make steam properly and can only go as far as Edward's station. But his driver and fireman have the perfect solution to that problem.

While Percy is being mended after his porridge incident, Wilbert does his work for him. He does Percy's jobs well, until one day he stops for a chat with James, leaving him with no time to fill up with water at the junction. So they fill up at the dairy.... but not with water.
Note: I apologize for the transition in the scene in the middle not being 100% continuous; I had some difficulty fixing that. Also, all audio belongs to HIT Entertainment and all models and routes belong to Sodor Island 3D, therefore, I own nothing.
