JAMES THE HISTORY- From Sodor Reading Between the Lines

Do we know the history of James? Find out the basis of James and his Origin Story according to the Rev W. Awdry. In this video, I read aloud from Sodor: Reading Between the lines. Let's dive deep into the backstory of James from Thomas & Friends. Subscribe for more from Sodor! The Thomas Man does the history of Thomas the tank engine!

I love this series it’s like if GWR studios continued his Sodor Profiles

[@RHTeebs]

I wonder what happened to him.

[@CobaltBlue07]

@@RHTeebs he has a channel about car brands now but i don't remember the name

[@GreaseMC]

@@CobaltBlue07 It’s called NEO AUTO.

[@CobaltBlue07]

@@GreaseMC thanks

[@WaddlesIcyPercy]

[@thatoneguythatlikesship]

I really liked rob as James it gave vibes from where James was built

[@rylanthibodeau8206]

Now at was so awesome i like James from Thomas and friends

[@PakanJorts0223]

0:32 thats my favorite character too❤

[@theotherrailway]

I really like this format, more of the TVS history too! Nice simple videos that aren't 30 mins long and you can watch and get enough information.

[@ScrapyardStudios]

The TVS gets too much recognition tbh

[@zem2point0]

A great video! 😊 (I finally watched it, been meaning to since the night of the AUF premiere 😅)

[@thethomasman]

Thank you! I appreciate it.

[@RailwayTugboatStudios]

2:48 James sounds somewhat like Gordon.

[@AbidAzzaman-ye1pe]

James has anxiety cos during his accident he was silent and black and in the episode Dirty Objects he got splashed with tar and he was silent so he got reminded of his accident and it also explain why he doesn't like to see scratches

[@rylanthibodeau8206]

You know james is one of my favourite Thomas and friends characters

[@AlongPreservedLines]

Love this format! Great job on the editing, looks superb! James has kind of become one of my favourites since my recent L&Y obsession, so I'm kind of biased lol, regardless I still think he's a great character, also having seen the surviving L&Y class 27 in real life, I think it's a great little engine deserving of more love

[@drippykidztv9154]

James is my favorite two

[@olivergould3878]

4:13 that's my hometown of Huddersfield

[@Zenon-x3h]

Y love james red is better color for him hes my favourite and his face looks like a bit Marshalls face of paw patrol

[@chaoticgoose4887]

Love the shots at Travel Town! Been there as it's the closest railway museum to me

[@ScreaminStar]

Great video, love how you narrate everything! James at Travel town was nice to see :)

[@ExplosiveCookie]

I would be very very wary of using "Reading Between the Lines" for these videos - Christopher makes many mistakes and contradicts his Father's work a good few times.
I'd recommend just sticking to "It's People, History and Railways" for the future, as that better represents the Rev Awdry's actual intentions.

[@MacsensRailway]

But the unlucky tug has alredy done this in Sodor finest

[@joshuaW5621]

As someone from Ireland and is used to the canon UK dub, I think I like Rob Rackstraw's voice, however, Kerry Shale’s voice for James might fit Top Hat.

[@e-122psi3]

Yeah, I think Rob Rackstraw does a better job differenciating him from Gordon. Gordon is already the pompous uptight one, James however is the cocky loudmouthed little shit. Plus James having a more 'common' less dignified voice kinda fits him thinking he's Gordon's equal despite being a smaller lower tier build. Reminds me of George Carlin's nasally Brooklyn voice in the classic era.
I still think Keith Wickham is the best James however, gave him a more slick mischevious sounding voice.

[@ryleeculla5570]

He’s basically one of the only engines painted in bright red all over

[@hartleymartin]

I kind of miss the Liverpudlian accent that Michael Angelis gave him in later series.

[@ReallyUsefulPinkEngine29]

James is my 7th favourite character!

[@james_the_red_engine5]

you are one of my favorite too :)

[@joshuaW5621]

I gotta admit that James has a nice red livery.

[@frankiejuarez7110]

Actually it’s not the l&yr class 28 it is the l&yr class 29

[@AbbeyYard]

1984, not 1989.

[@billywhite6703]

Man his backstory is pretty dark I feel for his brother's and sister's

[@scramblezs]

Cool video !
Can I ask what music you used towards the end of your video? (5:53)

[@ryleeculla5570]

James is based on a experimental design from the Yorkshire railway

[@121boyce]

I love the UK voice because I live in the UK

[@JonahgamerTV]

Request: You should do the same thing with Rosie next

[@thethomasman]

Thank you! I will indeed do Rosie! I'm going in order by number, Duck is Next! Stay tuned!

[@frankiejuarez7110]

[@satendrasingh6363]

[@thethomasman]

Thank you, I did make Edward! Check out my channel!

[@suzcant3320]

But Henry still exists bec the 5mt black 5 is still around which is what Henry is based of

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

Wow

[@NathanielPiscian]

NEHH but technically de unlucky tug did this ☝🤓

[@HM-mt9tn]

I thought james was a lms 4f

[@adamaiman5984]

I have the book

[@charlievieira7175]

Rob Rackstraw

[@generalprincecodyhedgewolf2944]

(COMMENT REDACTED)

[@Sodoronlineguy]

Rob

[@Ray_D_Tutto]

James is kinda a lame basis

[@Toysonicandfriends2]

I prefer the uk dub

[@Opthomas_Prime]

I prefer the UK one as well fits better

[@growlie2676]

Same, almost. I don't mind either dubs however Gordon Is the exception. His US voice sounds much more powerful than his UK voice. And I used both Dubs of Sodor Surprise Day for the comparison too.

[@EthanDonkin-d9t]

How dare you Glare angry at Island Of Sodor It's History People And Railways your disrespecting Wilber Awdry.

[@yvettesmith5150]

man what worug with you

[@growlie2676]
