I love this rendition of The Railway Series, I like how the characters are all completely different types to their storybook representations. TTTE and TRS were my childhood and were the starting point for my love of trains and railways, like a lot of people I think. I honestly cannot wait for the next instalment of The North Western.
Thomas :"You may pompous, arrogant and a bit of a c..."
Edward : "CAREFUL"
Keep it PG Thomas
@@DLR1997 You know, I experience something similar to Thomas' whole "C-thing." As a band student, a do get a little loose with my tongue from time to time, so my section leader, has to tell me to keep it PG. Edward is basically my section leader, while I am basically Thomas in his own little corner of the world.
I really love the alternative basis' for the engines, suits them tbh
Great, authentic adaptation! Some very interesting, fitting changes here, and I especially love the slightly different basis’s for the characters. Can’t wait to see where this series goes! :D
Edward is a t3, one of this class has recently been restored, then given the nick name “the soul survivor”
I am really digging the alternate bases for the characters.
Excellent work Tom! Of all the adaptations of the books I’ve seen, this one really feels incredibly grounded yet unwaveringly faithful to source material. Can’t wait to see more!
Thanks! The aim is to adapt from the books as source while sprinkling in my own stories here and there. Some stories are either difficult or impossible to translate so some might well be omitted yet.
@DDJP which stories would those be? The ones that need to be omitted I mean.
@@houseofthesupermen377 Stories involving Harold would have to go, due to game limitations, for example.
That's a shame, but I understand why. Maybe you could imply that they still happened, like Percy saying "That was almost as exciting as the time I raced Harold." Just a suggestion.
@@houseofthesupermen377 perhaps things can be alluded to...
Can’t wait for more episodes! This seems really good so far!
"What's next Edward's Orchard? I see what you did there clever sod.
I like this pilot episode and I can't argue with the choices to have Thomas, Edward, Henry and Gordon. I really like Thomas as an E4, which have always been very visually appealing engines in my opinion. I may have said this before, but Gordon as an LNER Raven A2 Class works for him too as I always thought those Pacifics were more akin to Gordon's TVS look than a Gresley A1. Also, Henry stopping in the tunnel because of low steam pressure isn't entirely out of the possibilities compared to Awdry's original story. Henry also being a Henry Fowler design is also something very natural fitting, I'm surprised no one has seemed to have done it before.
This is great so Far! I really hope we can have some more soon!
i was originally skeptical ..but after watching this im very impressed :) ..looking foward to next episodes
Edward as a T3? Excellent!
I like this balance of fictional storytelling and real life basis history, switching between past and present tense.
I love the T3! Nice to see it portrayed as Edward
6:50 lol what a comeback, i can tell im gonna really enjoy this adaptation
A fantastic first episode of this series, love the DDJP take on the classic stories I grew up with
Much better and more real life than the 80s TV series; I like the explanation for Henry stopping in the tunnel. Every time I pass through Crewe on the way to / from Nantwich or walk through the tunnels on the Monsal Trail I think of the story of Henry:-)
gordon as a raven a2. this is gonna be a good adaptation.
@@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933i know its just a raven a2 is more fitting for gordon than an a3
Ok starts of brand new series's go I think you hit it out of the park. to be honest I wasn't really happy with Thomas being changed to an E4 but I must admit his personality is really good here. and the entire story felt familiar yet brand new. you really have done something great here and I cannot wait to see what happens next.
this is actually genius, you made Henry stop at the tunnel for his steaming troubles instead of a dumb rain fear to make his story more believable
I like where you're going with Henry. I had something similar in mind whenever i thought about things
I enjoy how you made the story make More sense I mean an engine hiding in A tunnel and not coming out again… the controller would have to update the timetable and using Henry’s sickness to stall him in the tunnel.
It’s wonderful!😃😃😃😃😃😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.
I love your take on the North Westerns early years. Some of my favorite bits are Thomas cross about being called little. One question though, is there a particular reason you changed Thomas and Gordons basis?
4:02 I didn’t know that this was the 1960s.
Left to right, Thomas, Edward, Henry and Gordon. I think I've got that right.
I am quite looking forward to this. I've been writing my own Thomas fan stories for a while so it will be interesting to see another person start up their universe.
and it will make a good break from the dark railway series.
I'm also wondering how the story will be changed from the railway series and the television series.
Same here
This definitely gets my approval!
Let me guess their names are Thomas Edward Henry and Gordon
No one is Dave
I believe you might be right on the money
Well yeah but there designs though are different
1. Thomas is not an e2
2. Edward is a different 4-4-0
3. Henry isn't a pacific hybrid when he was built before his rebuild at crew
4. Gordon is a different LNER Pacific that being a raven A2 instead of being an LNER A1 (which would be later upgraded into the A3 class).
you won’t believe me
Obviously
after you had gordon on the dark railway i was hoping someone would do a series on sodor in your universe.
cant wait to see where you go with it and what other changes you make
This was great! Also finally joined the Patreon after watching TDRS for years! Better late than never, right?
i loved this series ever since it was announced
also tonight i have a christmas play, i play in band :) just sayin
Great video! I LOVE the new basis for these stories, especially Thomas and Edward's. I will say Henry does have a bloody thick boiler, but that isn't much of a complaint as it is a little detail.
Well done very well made
I was surprised when I found out that TAF existed in your universe, but it was a welcome one noentheless and this new project of yours is amazing!
This is absolutely brilliant Tom! Fantastic work as always!
I say what a great alt sodor you’ve created!
i can just see ur subs skyrocketing after this
Thomas as an E4 👍
Excellent! Only one issue, your not using the PROPER music for a series like this!
Whenever we reach the stage where Henry has his accident and is rebuilt, what replacement model will Henry be as im guessing it remains an LMS model since he presently uses an old patriot model.
It’s funny how Gordon didn’t know that there were Two Kinds of Express trains. The Passenger Express (which he wants to do), and The Goods Express.
In my AU
Thomas is an E4 like in Your AU
Edward is a T9
Henry is an H2 "later Black 5"
And Gordon is A1 No: 4471 Sir Frederick Banbury
Wonderful!!!👏👏👏👏 Keep it up
Nice map
What are the pre grouping engines of sodor? Also do you have plans to elaborate on how they “Went Missing”
Thomas being an e4 would be nice. Its not like its gonna make him the youngest or anything
I wonder what class of engine Henry is, and what engine will he be rebuilt into?
Ok now i know what engine is Henry
Edit : HES THE LMS FURY!!!!
Not a Fury, An experimental Fowler design
bruh I just realised that toby could of been a LNER Y6/J50 but then again he could just "not be here!
Either that or he is actually electric.
What happened to the pre nwr engines?
@@JacqueTheInsaneEngine Eaten by Yowies.
Fantastic video as always. What software (train game) do you use? And the models where do you get them from? If you don't mind me asking
Im wondering if the engines that went missing were the London Northwestern lot that was shipped back as revenge.
I'm still wondering what James and Percy would look like
I was 100% right on every engine I predicted.
I just can’t except Edward being a lswr engine but I can understand the others but out of all the engines I think Edward should be the only engine left the same because he did start the whole thing
I hoping having some of the cast have accurate basis
Yea more
Is it me or does Gordon sound like DR1202
69 Likes and it hasn't even started yet, Nice! :)
E4 for thomas I quite like that, but the e4 is a little old for thomas? Don't you think?
@craigdallingproductions4430 no they are not
AU?
A fun interpretation, though I personally prefer the reverend's canon for most things. Thomas with trailing wheels, though, really? It just feels wrong.
I could be wrong but I think Henry is a l&y class 8
Actually, yeah, that would make more sense, because I actually thought Henry was going to be an unrebuilt Royal Scott or patriot but and L&YR class 8 yeah, that makes more sense now.
@@lukethewesternengine229 he is an experimental 4-6-0 designed by Fowler, represented by a patriot here due to the time period.
All explained in the episode dont worry!
@@DDJP alright, I can’t wait to see what you have install in this new series. But I do like the idea of making Henry a poorly built LMS design instead of a flawed Gresley design because it’s less confusing than you know Henry being this flawed, Gresley design and then being rebuilt into a black five, you could see how that just sounds confusing and in turn makes no sense.
If anyones wondering its the just trains baby scot
@@DDJP so is Henry still going to get rebuilt into a stanier locomotive?
i'm sorry, but i got to ask, is this like a your version take on the NWR book series? cause if it is i agree and like how it looks so far
Because if this was to follow the actual BOOK and series, all the locos are wrong, VERY WRONG. just a dumb nickpick of mine. but i am actual happy to see a different head canon of the beloved series. just my only problem with it, why you got to make my fav LMS loco class, the patriots or baby scots (I think) the "failing" engine.
can I help as a voice actor? @DarkDjProductions?
