Thomas the Trainz Engine Ep. 72: Percy the Express Engine
I've had this baby in the works for a long time, over 2 years to be exact. Yes, I know this story has been adapted several times since Richard wrote it, but I'd already filmed everything beforehand and I didn't want it to go to waste. It's also my first time doing fog effects for a Trainz video. I wasn't sure how it would turn out when I went to put the episode together, but they came out surprisingly well; I'm certainly pleased with the results. I hope all of you are too.
Special shout out to Mainland Studios, the original voice of Percy in my series, for reprising his role as the little green bugger; he did a marvellous job!
Percy becomes puffed up in the smokebox when he's assigned to passenger duties. It might've better if he hadn't, especially given how foggy it is that day.

Welp, this is not only my second Odysee-exclusive release, but also my second original story NOT meant for mine and RJ's NWR Adventures. After learning about railway troughs from the Train of Thought channel, I wanted to do something with the idea. I also thought it'd be fun to pair up Gordon and James, and this here's the result. 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.

As punishment for his negligence, Oliver is sent to help Paxton with the shunting. The Great Western engine spends the day bumping the trucks around, thinking he can do better than Paxton. But some new trucks set out to teach him otherwise.

You can watch the episode either here: https://odysee.com/@FantasticMrS:4/Carols-for-Catherine:d or here: https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1525888687768866826. I'm putting the episode there for now because I don't trust this godawful platform.
Merry Christmas in July, people of the Internet! Why a Christmas-themed episode in July? You see, I was originally hoping to release it alongside TheJollyMariner's other story "Shepherding the Weak" last Christmas, but I had to push it back after one of my voice actors became a no-show and another pulled out. But thankfully, I was able to find a voice for Catherine in the end; Petey James here has done a wonderful job here, and I couldn't be more grateful for their help. Hope you enjoy it.
Christmas has arrived on the Mountain Railway, but Culdee's absence has left Catherine feeling anything but jolly. Eric tries to cheer her up, but nothing seems to work... except for one thing.

When the Richard Topham Hatt account announced that his story "Henry's Hike" was free to adapt, I jumped at the chance. This is definitely my biggest and most ambitious solo adaptation so far. It's been about a year in the making, and I don't think I could've pulled it off without some great people in the Thomas community, including my always wonderful voice cast (and narrator, Demon of Nowhere). But the score, courtesy of the amazing Lion's Mane Orchestra, has really transformed the special into something... special. That said, whether it's special or not is for you the viewers to decide, so I hope you all enjoy it.
At the start of a new year, Henry has to take a fast train of hikers across the Island of Sodor. But he runs into trouble when his valve gear is wrecked. He decides to finish the journey on one cylinder, against all odds, to prove to his fellow main line engines that he's not "idle" like they claim he is.

Merry Christmas, fellow Thomas fans! Betcha didn't expect TWO Christmas episodes from me this year, eh? The story I adapted here was originally called "Rusty to the Rescue", but its author, TheJollyMariner, granted me permission to change the title. Reason being is because I'd already adapted the story by the same name and didn't want to use it twice (not to mention it's been used by a number of other stories already). With that being said, I hope you all enjoy this one!

After the release of my previous episode, my channel got terminated (unfairly, too). But that hasn't stopped me from working on my series, and it won't stop me now; I got too many more of these to just give up. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this one.
The man Albert had left behind visited the Mid Sodor frequently, and it was up to the engines to leave the best impression on him. Their chance came when Jim had an accident in one of the tunnels.

You can watch "All Change" either at https://odysee.com/@FantasticMrS:4/All-Change:7 or https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1481842859479928845. For this one, I ended up making my own Henry model and modifying it to include Gordon's buffers and all that, but also match the style of the old 2006 models. Yes, I know it ain't the best, especially with matching the proportions of the other Henry, but it ended up being the best I could do. I hope you all enjoy it regardless.
After Henry has an accident with some coaches, he is sent to the Works to have his buffers replaced. Unfortunately, the only spare buffers available are ones that look like Gordon's, which ends up causing problems for everyone.

If you'd like to read Ed Jones' story in its original form, you can find it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aClQZsl9E8BO8Bz9RVgOj047VLJjn51A0W7gaMA2ATg/edit. Also, I forgot to credit Mavis M. for some of the music used here.
My Discord account had been hacked while I was working on this episode, and the hacker used it to trick a number of my friends. But I since got it back under my control, so it can't harm anyone else now. I'd like to thank everyone for their support throughout the ordeal, and for the legendary NewController01 for narrating Ed Jones' tale. Hope you enjoy it.
Sir Handel is determined to find out what exactly is moving the vans he and his friends bring to the old quarry gate. But once he sees the odd-looking engine for himself, he's not so sure he wants to see it again.
