LET'S GO GUYS, WE HAVE REACHED THE 100 SUBSCRIBER MILESTONE TODAY - THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!! I cannot express how infinitely grateful I am to announce this achievement. No matter how far we will get on this channel, I will always try my best to make my videos the best they can be. The immense amount of support that you guys have been showing me despite my extreme lack of uploads in the past 2 1/2 years is something I will always cherish and never take for granted. The fact that this channel does as well as it does is still a total shock to me. I think now is the perfect time to really push this RUclips thing forward and produce as many videos as I possibly can. If you are interested in model trains, you can follow me on Instagram @zachpayne where I post all about my model collection - I am trying to reach 3 posts per month at least. And as for RUclips, I think one video per month would be a good starting point. That's all from me folks. Thanks again so much for your generous amount of support. - Zach
James Works It Out fun fact is the 300th episode of the whole show. Who'd have thought? Finally some more love for Wash Behind Your Buffers cause and Cool Truckings are not only cool Madge episodes, but also this is one of the few times where Skarloey & Rheneas are portrayed correctly as their wise selves, plus I love the country roads and village square, not to mention that engine rally is a clever idea.
Glad to see episodes such as Flour Power get noticed by you, there at other episodes that I think are underrated: Thomas's Milkshake Muddle - Thomas was written well, a bit of conflict between him and Emily lead to him messing up, but was able to make the situation right again without any kind of plot convenience. Thomas and the Storyteller - A 3 strikes formula episode which works well and doesn't have thomas behaving selfish, but helping his friends. The episode also adheres to railway safety protocol, such as being dangerous for an engine to have no whistle. Duncan and the Coal Mine - A Duncan and Rusty episode that does the subvert of the expectation and Duncan is his normal self. Percy and the Oil Painting - Probably Percy's best Hit-Era episode, a 3 strikes formula episode used to its full potential, not to mention the voice that Angelis gave to the painter which worked very well with the structure of the story.
Great Video, Unlike The Unlucky Tug and The Yellow Stryker’s videos, there’s only 1 episode that I personally don’t consider a hidden gem. That being Thomas and the Birthday Mail, as that episode is the only one from Season 10 that anyone remembers. Every other episode I don’t see getting talked about very much. Especially Emily Knows Best and Gordon Takes a Shortcut. So it’s nice too see these episodes get some recognition.
@@DodotheWishFanboy i didn’t say it was bad, I was just saying I don’t personally consider most of the episodes on his list as hidden gems, especially Hector the Horrid. As they get talked about quite a lot by fans
Personally, being one of those people who likes the HiT-Era (And defenses it), I find it really annoying that to this day people are STILL crapping on it. They're just beating a dead horse. Say what you will about it, at least had it's fair share of great episodes.
I am so desperately wanting to watch each Season of Thomas, if they for the most part weren't so boring for me at least. Maybe i should watch them however, and then it's over, and i watched them all. I really like the episodes you choose, i would have choosen them too.
16:24 Emily isn't strong in this episode! She's absolute hogwash! Season 7 Emily would never do something as brain dead as thinking of herself as a queen!
I don't even like Peter Sam in the Hit Era, mainly because of "the magic lamp" where he was very pessimistic, completely opposite of what he was like. Gordon, James and Duncan are amazing in Hit though, and I do like some new characters more and more (Madge, Hector, Mighty Mac)
I think Henry was done alright in the hit era mainly for giving him his nature loving side and his sibling rivalry with Gordon was done well in 2 episodes and I also liked his role in Thomas And the toy Workshop it’s just in his other leads I didn’t like him but he was done way better than the CGI era.

I actually never knew that Clean behind your buffers was a Hit Era episode as it felt so much like season 6 or something.

How is the Unlucky Tug’s video on this topic bad?

I’m with you, I am a big fan of the HIT era. (Well, only season 8 & 9. 10 & 11 are alright.)
It would be nice to see Thomas and Rosie's sibling relationship in CGI after her repaint in a better way.

Love how you highlight some S12 episodes
0:26 and The Yellow Stryker
Yeah I kinda agree with most of these, Hit era does have redeeming aspects and a missed potential not some fundamentally broken era
At least they did a good job with Gordon, James, Duncan and Peter Sam.
I don't even like Peter Sam in the Hit Era, mainly because of "the magic lamp" where he was very pessimistic, completely opposite of what he was like. Gordon, James and Duncan are amazing in Hit though, and I do like some new characters more and more (Madge, Hector, Mighty Mac)
@@kaydenthescottishwebbtankn9882 Hit era Peter Sam is kinda like CGI Duck. Some like him other hate him.

Aren't you forgetting there's more spooky episodes in the CGI series?
