Given that my re-release of "Lazy Daze" has gone well so far, I figured why not re-release my original story, "Water Troughs" too? But of course, you can always comment here in case it gets marked as "for kids": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3oTLE3DfwU Got the inspiration from watching Train of Thought's video essay on railway troughs. I also thought it'd be fun to pair Gordon and James for this one; they always make a fine pair. Hope you enjoy it.
Gordon accidentally splashes James while taking a drink from a railway trough. James, thinking Gordon had splashed him on purpose, makes a plan to pay him out. But his plan doesn't end up working the way he'd hoped.
So these are the results from last month's casting call.
Music credit goes to Mike O' Donnell, Junior Campbell and Toby's Windmill.
Note: The CluelessWolf will no longer be able to lend her voice due to her busy schedule, so Annie C. will voice Remembrance and Michelle Hurtado will voice Rachel in her place.

Decided to reupload the episode since it got marked as "made for kids" after not even 1 day of being released. You can leave your comments here in case it happens again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdwafaQ0s7k
It's been about 2 years or so since I last adapted one of DemonofNowhere's stories. But when they wrote something based on Awdry's notes about Bloomer and his two observation coaches, I figured why not adapt it? And yes, I know the saloon coaches here aren't the right basis; they were of DemonofNowhere's choosing at the time they wrote the story. But I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.
James is excited about pulling a special along Thomas' branch line, until he meets the special coaches he has to work with. But James and the coaches have more to worry about than their differences when his crew forgets about his headlamp.

I've covered stories about a vast number of characters since I started my series, but one set of characters I haven't really focused on are the Scottish Twins, Donald and Douglas (let's face it; they don't get a lot of stories to themselves in general). I figured it was time to give them some spotlight, and I was lucky to find a story about them that hadn't already been adapted in TV series form (except for TheLOKRailfan's adaptation). Hope you enjoy it.
Thomas still hasn't forgiven Douglas for misplacing his special coach, so Donald hatches a plan to make the little blue engine see sense.

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.

The increasing number of workmen needed up at the Quarry is becoming too much for Toby and Henrietta to manage. But Thomas and his driver discover the perfect solution to the problem behind a hedge near Elsbridge Station.

It'd been over a decade since I filmed a story focused on the Small engines. But when theburiedtruck wrote "Smooth Operations", I thought it'd be a great opportunity to give those little sons of bitches the spotlight once more. Hope you enjoy it.
Mike finds the coaches to be bumpy and rough-riding, and even suggests the passengers would be better off riding in the trucks. No one believes him, especially Rex, who finds the coaches to be in peak condition. But could Mike be onto something for once?

Now that the Lost Little Engines saga is complete, I decided it was time to take a break from the rails and focus on the road vehicles for once. After all, they don't get enough attention, and TheJollyMariner certainly delivered with this one. Hope you enjoy it.
Icy roads are giving Bulgy a great deal of trouble. Bertie teases him about it, until he has an accident on an icy bridge.
