I like how James is jealous about Henry, but it's not because of his special coal. I also don't know why, but this story all of a sudden has gotten me thinking about how James would respond to the boys in Whistles and Sneezes dropping stones on him and his train.😂These 40th Anniversary stories are very well done!👍
@@RatPackOG To sum it up: Michael White joined the Thomas and Friends writing staff during the BWBA era. And let's just say... he wrote some remarkable bangers, most notably the series finale of the original series: Thomas and the Royal Engine (aka.... the 75th Anniversary special.)
Not to mention, from what I can tell...his narration style has a sort of Ken Barrie essence to it, if anyone's ever watched classic Postman Pat would prolly know what I'm talking about.
That was pretty good 👍💙✨ James sure really wants to pull the express train. And this kinda reminds me of the classic episode called "No Joke For James"
Well that plan clearly backfired on James. XD And I must say: AMAZING JOB ON HAVING MICHAEL WHITE NARRATE! :D Seriously, a former writer from late in the original TV Series narrating a fan story? That is simply remarkable. :)
Was literally watching one of your videos then went to my recommended to see you uploaded a new Thomas video, it's a good episode and I like Michael White as the narrator for this episode!
Amazing story that takes place between Whistles and Sneezes and Toby and the Stout Gentleman! And I wasn’t expecting Michael White to narrate this story even though he was a writer in the original Thomas series
Wow, another marvellous episode, I love your story for taking place during Whistles and Sneezes is an fantastic idea and the Michael White as the storyteller is an amazing voice since he's did a fantastic job for being a writer of original Thomas Series between S22-S24, it's so fantastic to have James along with Henry as main roles that James is taking the express is so wonderful, very looked forward for your more stories along with Michael White as storyteller soon! I love it!
That was another impressive story. James really does like to show just how good he can be at pulling the Express. But as usual, karma always comes back to bite him on the back end. Well done to #Whitehousefilms for narrating the episode 😀.
Great story, that nicely serves as a good contrast to the story written by Buried Truck of James trying to steal Henry's welsh coal for himself, only for his driver and fireman to play a trick on him. Only this time he ends up with bad coal and embrassing himself.
Feels like an actual lost Season 1 episode. I'm surprised that Micheal White was the only one who narrated that episode and worked as a writer on the actual Thomas show for a few years. How legend...
Excellent story! I bet Percy is next. Would make sense, since Percy didn't get much of a story to himself in the first season outside of his introductory arc. Maybe one that gives a clear view of how Thomas and Percy became close friends. And I also wonder if you can also do a season 2-style story that takes place after Thomas Comes to Breakfast before Daisy that explains what became of the cleaner that messed with Thomas' controls and Sir Topham Hatt also giving flak to the stationmaster for not putting strong, secure buffers in front of his house.
Hmm, goes to show James not having enough steam did backfire on him after all. What unique karma! 😄 Also, fancy having Michael White, a writer of the show, tell the story! 😃
1:06 me: maybe it's because you don't work hard enough (you get points if you get the picture and if you know what I mean and if you know what I'm saying and if you get what I'm referencing) 1:17: me: aww is the splendid red baby cranky cause he didn't get what he wanted? and does the splendid red baby need his bottle? and does the splendid red baby need a nap? 1:59 me: oh, stop it Percy the splendid red baby is just cranky because he didn't get what he wanted 4:50 me: maybe he forgot to pack his express legs when was heading out when he got what he wanted
An episode between Whistles & Sneezes? (Well I’m not complaining) plus the James & Henry rivalry episode are like the best! (There just miserable pricks lol))
Glad to have someone who worked on the show narrate this story. 👍 Good to know that James isn't exactly at fault for the delay. What the heck was in that coal?
These stories that are underlaying stories from episodes in the first series are brilliant. Helps to give more depth and added value to the original Tv series. Long may these continue
I was expecting James to nick some leftover Welsh Coal they forgot to clear out after Henry’s Overhaul. (I said overhaul because I don’t thinks it’s a complete rebuild.)
This is definitely a fantastic James and Henry dynamic that could’ve been done in Series 1. James and Henry would only have interaction with Gordon in the earlier seasons.
I feel James has more going to him that his only way of fending off against it is through vanity. He lives through his delusions to foreshadow who he truly is hence why he wishes to do things he knows he'll never get. At the end, when his true self shows, particularly after a mistake, he works hard to cover it up only to understand and work hard to make up for the mistake he made.
This takes place during the episode, which is whistles and sneezes the same day the boys throw rocks on Henry's coaches after he gets a new shape in series 1
I’m curious. How come Michael White is narrating James’ plan? I thought he normally write stories for the real Thomas episodes of the original Thomas & Friends such as the CGI Era.
I love how you used Henry’s actual new shape, and didn’t use a version with the splashers. Everyone thinks he’s meant to have them when it was a production mistake.
Micheal White Whitehousefilm was the former of Thomas and friends, and Thomas and friends all engines go he was the writer producer on the TV show and Movies he will helping others Like me.
I was only a freelance writer back then. The only time I've been a producer was for my own video productions on RUclips and never for TV. Great Video BTW, Callum. Turned out great. Happy to help out with this.
I think the firebox issues during his express run and all the teasing he got in the end is more than punishment enough. Getting a scolding from his crew, the inspector, or Sir Topham Hatt feels lenient in comparison. Besides, the coal issues weren't his fault. Even if he didn't dawdle and had taken his local as originally planned, his train would've run late, anyway.
This feels like an early Awdry version of No Joke for James.
Also, it's great to hear Michael's narration.
No Joke For James was already very Awdry-esque.

And this would not be the first time he would play a trick...
I'm guessing S4? 😁
@@HGW157 S3 actually.
When is this in Season 3?😅
@@seanchow806The episodes No Joke for James and Trust Thomas.

0:57 "but James was cross" sounds incredibly similar to Pierce Brosnan's style of narration!
I would love to have these 40th anniversary stories on a DVD or Blu-ray to watch again and again. They're so good 😊
I wish I'd get the chance to do a US narration of these stories.
Amazing story that takes place between Whistles and Sneezes and Toby and the Stout Gentleman! And I wasn’t expecting Michael White to narrate this story even though he was a writer in the original Thomas series

Fantastic story and good narration Mr Micheal white who I met only last weekend at the Awdry Extravaganza 4
I thought I recognize WhiteHouseFilms from when he did Percy Gets Lost.
Awesome episode man

this makes me realize if it were a railway series story the order would be:
gordon's whistle
james' plan
henry's sneeze
Glad to have someone who worked on the show narrate this story. 👍
Good to know that James isn't exactly at fault for the delay. What the heck was in that coal?
Maybe James now needs Welsh coal too. 🤣

I would have preferred "James' Plan". That, just looks clunky.
It’s grammatically correct too.
I was expecting James to nick some leftover Welsh Coal they forgot to clear out after Henry’s Overhaul.
(I said overhaul because I don’t thinks it’s a complete rebuild.)
Please do more of these fill in the gap stories they’re epic amazing work I’ve watched them all and definitely want more 🍿🍿🍿
Michael White’s narration is great!
An actual writer of the TV series narrated this epsiode? So nice.
Fantastic work here!
If only James's plan had worked completely, if not for that dirty coal. But at least no one found out that he had deliberately dawdled in the Shed.
So good to hear Michael's narrating voice again, really enjoyed this story, great work everyone!
This is definitely a fantastic James and Henry dynamic that could’ve been done in Series 1. James and Henry would only have interaction with Gordon in the earlier seasons.
No Joke For James series 1 style
One thing I love about these is how you cut the themes to suit the scene, really gives me satisfaction hahaha.
A story during Whistle & Sneezes Cool!
James is going to ask for trouble
Genuinely better than what Mattel storytelling is
This is a Great Story, Great Work., This definitely feels like an Early Version of No Joke for James.
Percy was pure savage
James is cheeky
great video and great story
Nice story! It was interesting seeing a story take place during "Whistles and Sneezes"
Part of me thinks James holding back steam is what caused his stuffiness...
This episode takes place during Whistles and Sneezes.
Awesome episode episode

Imagine ethgoesboom being The narrator.😅😅😅
This happened before Gordon had his accident falling into the ditch.

How'd you get Michael White as narrator
He's been part of the fandom for ages.

Correct possessive is James'.
How did you get Michael White to tell this story
Are these stores free to adapt?
@@Fin383 thats down to Chris Sig
How can I contact him ?
Why does Michael sound more American than Irish? 😂
He could do a great American Impression, I can tell. 😂
James still gives Really Useful a Bad Name.
But we still love him either way.
@@jimmyhook4852 Try telling that to his 'former' friends. When was the last time James has EVER done right and been a Really Useful Engine?
@@TheTWRModeller Look at the episode Troublesome Trucks/Foolish Freight Cars for example.
@@jimmyhook4852 That was just one time and a rare occurence, too.
@@TheTWRModeller I see. *gives him the squint*
Do you think James got scolded for his actions in this?
I think the firebox issues during his express run and all the teasing he got in the end is more than punishment enough. Getting a scolding from his crew, the inspector, or Sir Topham Hatt feels lenient in comparison.
Besides, the coal issues weren't his fault. Even if he didn't dawdle and had taken his local as originally planned, his train would've run late, anyway.
ARE YALL NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT MICHAEL ****ing WHITE IS NARRATING THIS
