0:38 Edward’s face right here cracks me up so much. I just love Edward being a smug badass teaching Thomas about managing trucks, it’s a real proud papa moment for sure 😂
Right? All they want is a bit of respect and to not be bumped around. That’s why they wanted Edward in the previous episode. But now that Thomas is learning how to do it the right way, they won’t give him trouble.
"No-one has to be the favourite" 10:57 Huh, a Journey Beyond Sodor reference. And then followed by a Lady Hatt's Birthday Party reference with the "Stay here - That's all i can do" exchange.
_"Now he's got a branch line, to call his very own he's the really useful engine we adore. He's the one. He's the number one, Thomas the tank engine."_
Definitely more of The Adventure Begins feel in this. What stuck out the most though, I'll be honest, is the quiet removal of the wooden brake blocks in favor of the usual: Driver gets knocked off. Then again, James has been on the island for a long enough period of time that they'd have been removed by this point. I can still see Gordon or Henry bringing it up. The idea that THIS was ultimately convinced STH does use the whole "Crisis proves oneself" cliche, but still works. But yeah, giving James a proper role in this was nice to see...and as they say, he knows how to steal a show; look forward to how the next three big arcs will be tackled.
HEhehe I LOVE how you use the trucks in this series so far. Cheeky, dim, but they have morals to a point. IT's not all "HURRAH HURRAH HURRAAA FASTER FASTER FASTER!!" if you treat em well, then they'll have some respect for the engine pulling them. Like with Thomas they were critiquing him as he pulled them, not actively planning to bump him or do something foolish to shake his confidence when he's trying his best to learn. XD And of course James steals the whole thing! Definition of a Napoleon Complex, and no wonder he's bright red with that temper! "OH DON'T MAKE IT PERSONAL! I'M JUST CONGRATULATING YOU!!" "Hehehe well that was a pretty aggressive congratulating, James." "I'M NOT AGGRESSIVE, YOU ARE! SHUT UP! STOP TALKING TO ME! AHH!!!"
I like how Henry congratulated Thomas in getting his own branch line. I also like how both Gordon and Henry don’t laugh or attempt not to laugh when they hear of James’ accident. These episodes keep getting better and better! This is the best one yet! Well done Trampy!
Usually all the movies so far are hilarious…but this one hits differently…that’s not a bad thing…it’s a great thing Seeing James loose his mind this time didn’t make me laugh…this time it filled me with sorrow for James. This is how a little blue train show should be handled! Funny bits, but also with dramatic scenes that gets you feeling for the characters! It also seems Gordon does care for Thomas it seems, and also Topham is gonna regret his choice in like 2 days XD
The character growth in this series is downright legendary. Thomas, who hated the world and had resigned himself to the yard in frustration, has now, thanks to finally opening up to Edward, finally developed into someone much more aware of others’ needs, can handle responsibility, and most importantly, is still the little bag of snark he’s always been. But what I love here is how we see a side of James’ ego that’s gone more or less unexplored. This series showed very early on that James was desperate to leave the yard. Here we see James complain about not being able to take his goods train, something near unthinkable. As shown, this is because in the back of his mind he’s afraid that his worst fear: that he’ll be stuck in the yard forever, might be coming true. He lashes out not because like how Thomas used to, he’s sick of feeling put down and that nobody actually cares about him. And to be fair, that is how most of the other engines have treated him (albeit in some cases it was deserved). Thomas is the only one that really friendly to him, and he’s worried that Thomas will leave him behind like everyone else has. And like with Henry in the tunnel, once he’s convinced himself he’s in a place that he needs to prove himself, he’ll do just that, even if it isn’t a good idea. As a result, James’ ego and insecurity making him feel like he needs to prove he’s capable is shown by his treatment of the trucks, as he takes his frustration out on them which ultimately leads to his undoing. It’s only when he is literally put into a life or death situation that his ego stops blinding him. And then he feels nothing but remorse, and for the first time really, allows himself to be fully vulnerable with Thomas, finally opening up about how he feels, allowing Thomas to be vulnerable himself. The two get a moment to really show their friendship, and while is still kinda the same, he even shows he isn’t all selfish because he cares about not giving the painters extra work. His own growth and how it complements Thomas’ own is simply phenomenal. And that’s all without mentioning the absolutely beautiful writing. I’d honestly say this actually trumps both The Adventure Begins and the source material. Everything fits so seamlessly and flows perfectly, the references actually lift the scenes they’re in, and the fact you made James not only significant to the story but did it in a way that explored his character and added real stakes is nothing short of marvelous! I also loved all the wonderful moments within. How the trucks actually support Thomas after he’s gained their trust, how Henry and Gordon ‘attempt’ to give James some sympathy, albeit in their own biased way, how Henry shows actual concern after hearing of James’ crash and congratulates Thomas despite him being pretty hard on both of them, Gordon’s reaction to Topham telling him he’ll have to shunt his own coaches, and just everything with Thomas and Edward. Really makes these characters feel alive and well-rounded!
I don't think Thomas hates the world. I think he resents the engines who were supposed to help lighten the increasing workload when they arrived, but instead, they refused and left him to keep doing most of it, and then later, he had to fetch THEIR passenger trains. Feels unfair.
Right? Like, they're both worried about the worse-case-scenario in their own areas, but an outside perspective into each other's situations let's them each say to each other "Buddy, you're worrying too much." And I just love how REAL they are with each other when no one else is around - they may not be buddy-buddy, but there seems to be a lot of trust between them
This is such a wholesome episode. The "cool uncle" and "willfully fun nephew" dynamic of Edward and Thomas is so wholesome, then pairing that with the contentiveness of Gordon, his semi-yes man Henry and the strong ego driven yet self worth questioning James makes such a great story. This truly is an "adult" take on what still feels like a childhood classic. Great work Trampy, thanks for what you've done and best wishes to future content.
It feels true to the classics while still putting its own twist on the tale. It almost feels as though this is what actually happened compared to what was written by the Reverend Awdry as a sort of cleaned up tale for children.
There's a lot of amazing stuff to unpack here but one small detail I want to shed light on is Henry and Gordon's reactions to hearing of James' crash. It's appropriate that Gordon would give a disapproving look, almost like he's thinking "told you so" in light of their earlier interaction. But for Henry, who's dynamic with James is easily the most vitriolic and mean spirited in the show so far, showing some remorse for James says a lot about how these engines stick together despite their quarrels. Phenomenal wrap-up to Thomas' book here, I like how this take implies the audience's knowledge of cranes. Only thing that makes me a lil' sad is dropping the detail of James' wooden break blocks, but that's a pretty minor detail.
The best thing about these adaptations are the creative liberties that are taken so that it could add depth to characters. Thomas' self-doubt, Edward's encouragement, James' jealousy- these all put the story in a new light that make it feel more personal. These aspects make these adaptations unique and fresh while staying true to the spirit of the original. This was an absolute joy to watch.
I like the idea of Trampy passing down his series to his children to continue writing the Trampy Movies for the late model-CGI era when he kicks the bucket. Lol
I dunno why but I just love the trucks. They land in this chaotic neutral situation. They are not born bad, but they only cause trouble if they feel disrespected if they just feel like it. Also I love the JBS callback, and it makes sense for a theme like that to be in the early days of the NWR
I will not lie, was not a fan of the scene where Thomas attempt to save James from crashing in the adventure begins, but here, it's actually done right, and I am very impressed! I love the dialogue, the voice acting, and the genuine realism I get from the voicing and screaming is amazing! Well done good man!
I like how you put Thomas and Gordon in between Sad Story of Henry and Edward Gordon and Henry. Really makes these adaptations stand out. Can't wait to see what you have in store for the James stories.
Speaking of James’ screaming can somebody do you like the part where 2 use voice or some characters voice goes normal to auto tune but with James’s scream to start the tpot intro because the tpot intro slaps hard lol 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
i gottta say what i really loved in this episode is how the troublesome trucks are depicted. Edward teaches that the trucks are calm and obedient to any train who has the time and patience to work with them, and the trucks reciprocate by actively giving positive reinforcement of a sort to thomas as he takes his train out. each step is just "ok good so far". all the time, patience and attention thomas has gained and given to them is also seen in how the trucks respond to james doing it the wrong way, how they let slip that they'd rather have thomas pulling them (and when hit going "why did we say that", like theyve come to like thomas enough to forget saying his name is james' anger button at that moment)
It was quite disappointing that we never got any more retellings of Classic TV series episodes after The Adventure Begins as while not perfect it was one of the best things in the CGI era. Looks like your series has taken the mantle and is more than up for it. Beautifully done. I look forward to more retellings in the foreseeable future. Quite a nice touch to add more merit to Thomas earning his branch after actually saving James from a potentially worse fate.
This was really amazing. First of all, nice turnaround on production. You pumped this one out fast. As for the story itself: it's great. You nailed James here, with him fearing being overtaken by Thomas. I really like how he's an actual part of the story. Him coming out of nowhere like in the books is fine as a character introduction, but not when he's been in the background the whole time. Angry James is amazing, I don't know how to describe it but it's great. The bit with Thomas taking a goods train is great as James is hilarious, Edward is wholesome, and the whole scene shows how Thomas has made real improvements. He didn't earn his branch line JUST by cleaning up a wreck; he's really improved as an engine. It also serves as a nice contrast with James later. I like how Sir Topham Hatt originally wasn't going to give Thomas a branchline, with his help in James's accident being what puts him over the edge. Gordon and Henry reasoning with James that "Tender-engines don't shunt" is some great foreshadowing, and I like the little detail of Henry feeling bad for James and congratulatory for Thomas, as opposed to Gordon who just cares about having to shunt. And that scene in of itself in hilarious, and Gordon's banter with James makes me excited for the next set of videos. The Trucks are perfect, again. Them passing judgement on Thomas, like some sort of food critic is hilarious. Their dialogue with James is perfect, from the scene with Gordon all the way to the crash. I like the reference to "The Adventure Begins" as that version definitely had the most dramatic runaway. I like the fact that the Trucks are pain after the crash, as you can kinda tell they didn't plan on going THAT far. It removes the weird "suicide bomber" feel from the RWS and TVS. The dialogue between Thomas and James at the end is perfect. It's just the right mix of humor and emotion, that works really well with these two in particular. The one thing I DON'T like the removal of James's wooden brake blocks. It's an iconic part of the story and it easily could have been worked in. But considering you've adapted 8 episodes and I just now have my first bit of real criticism, thats pretty impressive. Keep up the good work. Also, 4:27 and 6:13 are hilarious.
Thomas made a hell of turnaround this episode. He certainly doesn't hate everyone and everything anymore. At least nowhere near as much as he did before.
What a wonderful story, Trampy! The edits are clean, the character arcs from both Thomas and James, and the ending… Almost made me cry and that’s something I’m not ashamed to admit. Congratulations, Trampy!
10\10 masterpiece. Every episode you make only just gets even better, l love Thomas and Edward dynamic they’re like a sort of father and son or uncle and son relationship, I also like how you incorporated the adventure begins and how it leads to the next future stories. It’s a blend of RWS, Classic series and a bit of CGI and it all works so well with each other, for the ending it would be perfect if the credits were of Thomas going along the Ffarquar branch Line until he stops at the last station. I absolutely can’t wait to see more of the series as well as how they’ll be written, that will be fun!
episode watched, back for round 2 I don't know how you do it but every new one keeps being so much better than the last. The dynamic between Edward and Thomas is genuinely heartwarming- Edwards little lines under his breath are so touching, you can feel the nerves and desire for Thomas to succeed. James insulting Gordon and Henry is hilarious, him calling them bellends and muppets especially cracked me up. The scene of Thomas pulling a Crazy 8s and trying to stop James was legitimately tense, and the concern in both Thomas' and Edwards voices really sold the severity of the situation. The title card and little ending shot make the whole thing feel so polished and professional. I know I say it just about every time but keep up the good work!! This is some truly incredible stuff you're making here
I actually forgot some details I wanted to shout out cause there's just so many- the shot of Henry's face as STH explains James had an accident. You managed to convey what comes off to me as remorse/guilt with just a shot of his face and not a single word, like he feels truly bad about ragging on him in the last couple eps now that its led to this. And the obvious setting up for the arrival of Percy without making it too glaringly blatant. Its fuckin incredible how much you manage to pull off with voice over, sound effects, and what is effectively a slide show, I'm genuinely so impressed. It's like a Railway Series radio drama in youtube video form
Absolute perfection. Best Trampy movie yet. Can’t wait to see how you eventually tackle “Thomas and Bertie” and “Trouble In The Shed”, the two I’m anticipating the most from you in the future.
I love this. Spending a few days with a gentle mentor did Thomas a lot of good, both in his skill and character. You also seem to be crafting your own canon - or at least a variation of events - as if these videos are from a different group of witnesses and written records than the RWS or TV show; that's REALLY cool!
I like how the trucks were judging Thomas as he was pulling them! These are soooooo good! I just discovered Trampy Movie and am binging all of them!❤❤❤❤❤ These are very good retellings of the original stories!😊😊😊😊😊😊
This might be my favorite Trampy Movie so far. I would love to see a part in a later Trampy Movie (most likely the next one), where Thomas helps rebuild the Ffarquhar Branchline, kinda like how MasterOfTrainz did his story "Thomas, Annie and Clarabel". And i never expected this Trampy Movie to release so early. I thought there would be a week or two left before it would've released, but i guess not then. These stories are wonderful, and i love every single one of them. Great job, Trampy.
I've been waiting for this to happen and now that it did, I am amazed. This Trampy Movie really stands out from all the others, i really felt the all the characters emotions even with just pictures, the voice acting on this one is absolutely beautiful.
God, this couldn't have been more perfect. You keep on getting better and better, it's incredible! The interactions between all the engines are spot on!!
Hearing James screaming is quite unnerving but at the same time, it give me flashbacks to Krakatoa exploding of the Tugs redub lol Here is the screams: 8:048:39
6:18 honestly up until now, I don’t exactly blame James for his pent up anger, he’s in my opinion the most disrespected engine in this series, most of the engines just cast him off as another engine and that’s it 10:57 reference 12:27 reassurance from james The trucks are still fun this
Tho I thought James would be the same story as with wooden blocks and black paint this story certainly is awesome and really put in effort I can’t wait for every other engines arrivals and story’s certainly Donald and Douglas that would be funnnnnni af
Fantastic reinterpretation of Thomas and The Breakdown Train! I love how the crash was more realistic with James’ driver knocked off his footplate instead of him burning out wooden brakes while also retaining the chase sequence from The Adventure Begins. That chase was also another great job of editing like the faces in the past episodes.
Gotta say, yet another banger, Trampy! I absolutely loved the incorporation of elements from the TAB, and felt it added a lot to the story. Plus, the change from "wooden brake blocks" to "driver knocked off" was, although kinda odd, also an interesting change that I liked! And that ending was so nice, and heartwarming. What a great way to wrap up Thomas' story. Well done, Trampy! Well done! Warning bit of rant here: SO thankful that the included TAB bits were changed to make _actual_ sense. I mean, first, WHERE THE HECK DID THAT RANDOM BRANCH COME FROM?!! It was just nonsense placed there to keep Thomas from coupling up! Second, how does the guard mess up with one of his main jobs?! I know the train is in motion, which changes things up a bit, but coupling engines and cars together is part of the job!! YOU HAD ONE JOB, MAN!! And third, Thomas, I know you're trying to encourage the guard, but SHUT UP!!! You don't have to say stuff along the lines of "Keep Trying!" or "Don't Give Up!" fifty million times! Literally the only good part of that scene imo was the cool derailment at the end of it, and that's saying something! The bit with Thomas talking to the guard annoyed me so much I actually kinda wished the guard van would slam into him during the derailment! Nothing severe, just a hard bump! Anyway, that's all from me, I'm done.
Using the TAB approach to James's runaway was actually the last thing I expected, purely because I reasoned that a Jinty-sized engine probably couldn't keep up with a runaway mixed traffic engine. But whatever, suspension of disbelief and all. That aside, this actually made a much better impact than how TAB did it. Having Thomas actually succeed at reducing the severity of the crash was much more impactful than his efforts being completely pointless.
This is spectacular Trampy! I love Thomas & James' interactions with each other! I also adore the Thomas & Edward moments! It is so wholesome to watch Thomas earning his branchline. I also really love the runaways in this series! The screams can be hysterical sometimes. XD Excellent work Trampy!
I like the fact in this vid they included the old "Thomas and The Breakdown Train" with the new "James Chase Scene" from The Adventure Begins. Feels more like Thomas was doing all he could to save james before he went through that curve.
The thing in this episode that I find the best is when Thomas and Edward are at the hill, the trucks monitor his performance as they go over the hill, it’s like they help him in a way and I love that
I love that they did a remake of that scene where Thomas tries to slow down the train (from the adventure begins). I also love that Edward helps Thomas when he is pulling trucks up the hill. I also love that scene where James & Thomas talk, as well as Edward congratulating Thomas on getting his branch line. You’ve done an excellent job trampy.
Love how Edward encourage Thomas to do well handling the trucks and get him ready on what comes next. James had me in tears 😂😂😂 all the aggression and yelling thinking Thomas would replace him if he does well. Bellends and muppets had me dying on the floor 😅😅😂😂😂😂😂
Incredible, just incredible. The story, the dialogue, everything is so amazing in this movie. This one’s up there with Rescue as my favorites. I like the expansions on James’ insecurities especially.
The only way I can describe this is beautiful, the voice acting to the take on characters is amazing. I also love how you changed the story to where it doesn’t just make sense, but even makes it better. Better then anything modern Thomas could do.
The runaway scene is like the adventure begins climax but this one is more epic and more real with the characters. A satisfying way to end Thomas’ arc and the start of an arc for James the red engine.
Man, watching these feels like rewatching the series for the first time, they’re such fresh and interesting takes on the scenarios. I can’t get over how truly stunning each episode you’ve put out is!
Love how wholesome the ending felt, and all the parallels this had with "The Adventure Begins" Though I do feel really bad for James's future now... Now that Thomas has his branchline, he'll only have Gordon and Henry pushing him around as his only influences and no one else who shares a similar situation as him. This is essentially the beginning of his vanity and ego being bolstered... I do hope he gets the hiccups in the next episode though, that would be a fun parallel to the same story in RWS
Imagine being a workman in the yard, waiting for instructions, and you suddenly hear, "I'M NOT UPSET!!!".
I would be like “oh god, not again”
James: I thunder down those rails. They call me the Red Rocket!
The trucks: We can arrange that.
8:04
the trucks laughing like absolute party animals after james' scream gets me every time
0:38 Edward’s face right here cracks me up so much. I just love Edward being a smug badass teaching Thomas about managing trucks, it’s a real proud papa moment for sure 😂
i can’t wait for trammy’s custom faces to be modeled for trainz
When Thomas and Edward are up on the hill, I adore the trucks complementing him as he’s going up. Spectacular!
Right? All they want is a bit of respect and to not be bumped around. That’s why they wanted Edward in the previous episode. But now that Thomas is learning how to do it the right way, they won’t give him trouble.
"No-one has to be the favourite" 10:57
Huh, a Journey Beyond Sodor reference.
And then followed by a Lady Hatt's Birthday Party reference with the "Stay here - That's all i can do" exchange.
...
It's not a competition in the end~
It doesn’t matter if you think that you’re the very best
_"Now he's got a branch line, to call his very own he's the really useful engine we adore. He's the one. He's the number one, Thomas the tank engine."_

(Insert the Magic railroad theme)
Definitely more of The Adventure Begins feel in this. What stuck out the most though, I'll be honest, is the quiet removal of the wooden brake blocks in favor of the usual: Driver gets knocked off. Then again, James has been on the island for a long enough period of time that they'd have been removed by this point.
I can still see Gordon or Henry bringing it up.
The idea that THIS was ultimately convinced STH does use the whole "Crisis proves oneself" cliche, but still works.
But yeah, giving James a proper role in this was nice to see...and as they say, he knows how to steal a show; look forward to how the next three big arcs will be tackled.
that or james maybe never had wooden brakes to begin with.
Always love seeing Thomas and Edward moments. So nice to be able to relieve these familiar stories in a new way!
HEhehe I LOVE how you use the trucks in this series so far. Cheeky, dim, but they have morals to a point. IT's not all "HURRAH HURRAH HURRAAA FASTER FASTER FASTER!!" if you treat em well, then they'll have some respect for the engine pulling them. Like with Thomas they were critiquing him as he pulled them, not actively planning to bump him or do something foolish to shake his confidence when he's trying his best to learn.
XD And of course James steals the whole thing! Definition of a Napoleon Complex, and no wonder he's bright red with that temper!
"OH DON'T MAKE IT PERSONAL! I'M JUST CONGRATULATING YOU!!"
"Hehehe well that was a pretty aggressive congratulating, James."
"I'M NOT AGGRESSIVE, YOU ARE! SHUT UP! STOP TALKING TO ME! AHH!!!"
6:35 “Why don’t you mind your own business over there Gordon, and pull your express ya MUPPET!!!!”
8:39 “AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!”
I like how Henry congratulated Thomas in getting his own branch line. I also like how both Gordon and Henry don’t laugh or attempt not to laugh when they hear of James’ accident. These episodes keep getting better and better! This is the best one yet! Well done Trampy!
11:58 That "I found him sir..." bit tickles me.
Usually all the movies so far are hilarious…but this one hits differently…that’s not a bad thing…it’s a great thing
Seeing James loose his mind this time didn’t make me laugh…this time it filled me with sorrow for James.
This is how a little blue train show should be handled! Funny bits, but also with dramatic scenes that gets you feeling for the characters!
It also seems Gordon does care for Thomas it seems, and also Topham is gonna regret his choice in like 2 days XD
James: My Driver has been Bumped off.
*James' Driver also confronts him at the crash site*
I mean, do you really expect him to edit the almost every scenes to fit the voice lines?
in the context of the scene, this could probably be edward's crew
The driver chased him
The character growth in this series is downright legendary. Thomas, who hated the world and had resigned himself to the yard in frustration, has now, thanks to finally opening up to Edward, finally developed into someone much more aware of others’ needs, can handle responsibility, and most importantly, is still the little bag of snark he’s always been.
But what I love here is how we see a side of James’ ego that’s gone more or less unexplored. This series showed very early on that James was desperate to leave the yard. Here we see James complain about not being able to take his goods train, something near unthinkable. As shown, this is because in the back of his mind he’s afraid that his worst fear: that he’ll be stuck in the yard forever, might be coming true. He lashes out not because like how Thomas used to, he’s sick of feeling put down and that nobody actually cares about him. And to be fair, that is how most of the other engines have treated him (albeit in some cases it was deserved). Thomas is the only one that really friendly to him, and he’s worried that Thomas will leave him behind like everyone else has. And like with Henry in the tunnel, once he’s convinced himself he’s in a place that he needs to prove himself, he’ll do just that, even if it isn’t a good idea.
As a result, James’ ego and insecurity making him feel like he needs to prove he’s capable is shown by his treatment of the trucks, as he takes his frustration out on them which ultimately leads to his undoing. It’s only when he is literally put into a life or death situation that his ego stops blinding him. And then he feels nothing but remorse, and for the first time really, allows himself to be fully vulnerable with Thomas, finally opening up about how he feels, allowing Thomas to be vulnerable himself. The two get a moment to really show their friendship, and while is still kinda the same, he even shows he isn’t all selfish because he cares about not giving the painters extra work. His own growth and how it complements Thomas’ own is simply phenomenal.
And that’s all without mentioning the absolutely beautiful writing. I’d honestly say this actually trumps both The Adventure Begins and the source material. Everything fits so seamlessly and flows perfectly, the references actually lift the scenes they’re in, and the fact you made James not only significant to the story but did it in a way that explored his character and added real stakes is nothing short of marvelous!
I also loved all the wonderful moments within. How the trucks actually support Thomas after he’s gained their trust, how Henry and Gordon ‘attempt’ to give James some sympathy, albeit in their own biased way, how Henry shows actual concern after hearing of James’ crash and congratulates Thomas despite him being pretty hard on both of them, Gordon’s reaction to Topham telling him he’ll have to shunt his own coaches, and just everything with Thomas and Edward. Really makes these characters feel alive and well-rounded!
I don't think Thomas hates the world. I think he resents the engines who were supposed to help lighten the increasing workload when they arrived, but instead, they refused and left him to keep doing most of it, and then later, he had to fetch THEIR passenger trains. Feels unfair.
Thomas and James interaction in this series are so good, the similarities between them makes it a unique character pairing.
Right? Like, they're both worried about the worse-case-scenario in their own areas, but an outside perspective into each other's situations let's them each say to each other "Buddy, you're worrying too much." And I just love how REAL they are with each other when no one else is around - they may not be buddy-buddy, but there seems to be a lot of trust between them
James scream is very hilarious, just like Thomas's in the previous video
And good remake of Thomas when he chased James to stop him
10:56 Nice usage of the Journey Beyond Sodor quote there.
I like the part when Thomas says, “It’s Thommin-Time”, and goes on the mainline with Edward.
When does he say that?
This is such a wholesome episode.
The "cool uncle" and "willfully fun nephew" dynamic of Edward and Thomas is so wholesome, then pairing that with the contentiveness of Gordon, his semi-yes man Henry and the strong ego driven yet self worth questioning James makes such a great story.
This truly is an "adult" take on what still feels like a childhood classic.
Great work Trampy, thanks for what you've done and best wishes to future content.
It feels true to the classics while still putting its own twist on the tale. It almost feels as though this is what actually happened compared to what was written by the Reverend Awdry as a sort of cleaned up tale for children.
to me it’s more of a father and son dynamic.
There's a lot of amazing stuff to unpack here but one small detail I want to shed light on is Henry and Gordon's reactions to hearing of James' crash. It's appropriate that Gordon would give a disapproving look, almost like he's thinking "told you so" in light of their earlier interaction. But for Henry, who's dynamic with James is easily the most vitriolic and mean spirited in the show so far, showing some remorse for James says a lot about how these engines stick together despite their quarrels.
Phenomenal wrap-up to Thomas' book here, I like how this take implies the audience's knowledge of cranes. Only thing that makes me a lil' sad is dropping the detail of James' wooden break blocks, but that's a pretty minor detail.
Agree!
I love Henry as an Asshole, compared to Gordon’s smugness.
The best thing about these adaptations are the creative liberties that are taken so that it could add depth to characters. Thomas' self-doubt, Edward's encouragement, James' jealousy- these all put the story in a new light that make it feel more personal.
These aspects make these adaptations unique and fresh while staying true to the spirit of the original. This was an absolute joy to watch.
You do have a point there!
And the Thomas story arc is finally complete. Hope more instalments are coming in the future, because all of these so far are absolute gems.
when will you do Tomales and the Stinky Cheese trampie movey 😢
me when i’m 78 writing the script to Trampy Movie 247: Cheese
LOL
@@TheRealTrampy I look forward to seeing it
😐👍
I like the idea of Trampy passing down his series to his children to continue writing the Trampy Movies for the late model-CGI era when he kicks the bucket. Lol
Number 248 better be about Edward getting the milk.
I dunno why but I just love the trucks. They land in this chaotic neutral situation. They are not born bad, but they only cause trouble if they feel disrespected if they just feel like it.
Also I love the JBS callback, and it makes sense for a theme like that to be in the early days of the NWR
I like how the trucks are in this series. They're relatable lol. James is hilarious in this.
I will not lie, was not a fan of the scene where Thomas attempt to save James from crashing in the adventure begins, but here, it's actually done right, and I am very impressed! I love the dialogue, the voice acting, and the genuine realism I get from the voicing and screaming is amazing! Well done good man!
I like how you put Thomas and Gordon in between Sad Story of Henry and Edward Gordon and Henry. Really makes these adaptations stand out. Can't wait to see what you have in store for the James stories.
This is a great episode as a set up to "Old Iron". James really needs Edward's mentorship which he did with Thomas. Well done
James' screaming, LMAO!!!!!! 🤣
Speaking of James’ screaming can somebody do you like the part where 2 use voice or some characters voice goes normal to auto tune but with James’s scream to start the tpot intro because the tpot intro slaps hard lol 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
9:09 “OH NO! And I’ve been opening up my regulator this ENTIRE TIME!”
"I can't use my brakes, you moron! They're on fire!"
@@agentnintendonate1thee2tan89 Oh right. Wooden brake blocks. How could I forget. With all the less than subtle foreshadowing from earlier.
@KweliAlsupthekoolguy “It’s okay James, we’re gonna couple up behind you to slow you down! Like I did in that movie that one time.”
@KweliAlsupthekoolguy “HURRY! HURRY! HURRY!” *Laughs*
i gottta say what i really loved in this episode is how the troublesome trucks are depicted. Edward teaches that the trucks are calm and obedient to any train who has the time and patience to work with them, and the trucks reciprocate by actively giving positive reinforcement of a sort to thomas as he takes his train out. each step is just "ok good so far". all the time, patience and attention thomas has gained and given to them is also seen in how the trucks respond to james doing it the wrong way, how they let slip that they'd rather have thomas pulling them (and when hit going "why did we say that", like theyve come to like thomas enough to forget saying his name is james' anger button at that moment)
I love the customized faces you made, adds more character to the story
I liked the part where Thomas defeated James on Mustafar.
5:22 James Has A Mental Breakdown And Other Stories.
What’s with him?
the urge to make TUGS style music for this
So guess what I'm doing? (no it's not the tugs music)
It was quite disappointing that we never got any more retellings of Classic TV series episodes after The Adventure Begins as while not perfect it was one of the best things in the CGI era. Looks like your series has taken the mantle and is more than up for it. Beautifully done. I look forward to more retellings in the foreseeable future. Quite a nice touch to add more merit to Thomas earning his branch after actually saving James from a potentially worse fate.
I have a feeling “Strike” is coming next, given Gordon’s mention of tender engines shunting their own trains
This was really amazing. First of all, nice turnaround on production. You pumped this one out fast. As for the story itself: it's great. You nailed James here, with him fearing being overtaken by Thomas. I really like how he's an actual part of the story. Him coming out of nowhere like in the books is fine as a character introduction, but not when he's been in the background the whole time. Angry James is amazing, I don't know how to describe it but it's great. The bit with Thomas taking a goods train is great as James is hilarious, Edward is wholesome, and the whole scene shows how Thomas has made real improvements. He didn't earn his branch line JUST by cleaning up a wreck; he's really improved as an engine. It also serves as a nice contrast with James later. I like how Sir Topham Hatt originally wasn't going to give Thomas a branchline, with his help in James's accident being what puts him over the edge. Gordon and Henry reasoning with James that "Tender-engines don't shunt" is some great foreshadowing, and I like the little detail of Henry feeling bad for James and congratulatory for Thomas, as opposed to Gordon who just cares about having to shunt. And that scene in of itself in hilarious, and Gordon's banter with James makes me excited for the next set of videos. The Trucks are perfect, again. Them passing judgement on Thomas, like some sort of food critic is hilarious. Their dialogue with James is perfect, from the scene with Gordon all the way to the crash. I like the reference to "The Adventure Begins" as that version definitely had the most dramatic runaway. I like the fact that the Trucks are pain after the crash, as you can kinda tell they didn't plan on going THAT far. It removes the weird "suicide bomber" feel from the RWS and TVS. The dialogue between Thomas and James at the end is perfect. It's just the right mix of humor and emotion, that works really well with these two in particular. The one thing I DON'T like the removal of James's wooden brake blocks. It's an iconic part of the story and it easily could have been worked in. But considering you've adapted 8 episodes and I just now have my first bit of real criticism, thats pretty impressive. Keep up the good work.
Also, 4:27 and 6:13 are hilarious.
Also, I know now why you left the brake fire out, and I get it. I still would have preferred them to be included, but I get why you didn't.
Thomas made a hell of turnaround this episode. He certainly doesn't hate everyone and everything anymore. At least nowhere near as much as he did before.
Holy shit I thought we'd be waiting another week!
I love how gordon says good for him when he here’s he’s taking another goods train I’m guessing he has actually cares for thomas.
I like how Henry was actually nice to Thomas for once. That was sweet.
What a wonderful story, Trampy! The edits are clean, the character arcs from both Thomas and James, and the ending…
Almost made me cry and that’s something I’m not ashamed to admit. Congratulations, Trampy!
10\10 masterpiece. Every episode you make only just gets even better, l love Thomas and Edward dynamic they’re like a sort of father and son or uncle and son relationship, I also like how you incorporated the adventure begins and how it leads to the next future stories. It’s a blend of RWS, Classic series and a bit of CGI and it all works so well with each other, for the ending it would be perfect if the credits were of Thomas going along the Ffarquar branch Line until he stops at the last station. I absolutely can’t wait to see more of the series as well as how they’ll be written, that will be fun!
episode watched, back for round 2
I don't know how you do it but every new one keeps being so much better than the last. The dynamic between Edward and Thomas is genuinely heartwarming- Edwards little lines under his breath are so touching, you can feel the nerves and desire for Thomas to succeed. James insulting Gordon and Henry is hilarious, him calling them bellends and muppets especially cracked me up. The scene of Thomas pulling a Crazy 8s and trying to stop James was legitimately tense, and the concern in both Thomas' and Edwards voices really sold the severity of the situation. The title card and little ending shot make the whole thing feel so polished and professional.
I know I say it just about every time but keep up the good work!! This is some truly incredible stuff you're making here
I actually forgot some details I wanted to shout out cause there's just so many- the shot of Henry's face as STH explains James had an accident. You managed to convey what comes off to me as remorse/guilt with just a shot of his face and not a single word, like he feels truly bad about ragging on him in the last couple eps now that its led to this. And the obvious setting up for the arrival of Percy without making it too glaringly blatant.
Its fuckin incredible how much you manage to pull off with voice over, sound effects, and what is effectively a slide show, I'm genuinely so impressed. It's like a Railway Series radio drama in youtube video form
Absolute perfection. Best Trampy movie yet. Can’t wait to see how you eventually tackle “Thomas and Bertie” and “Trouble In The Shed”, the two I’m anticipating the most from you in the future.
Love this !
I vouch to that
I love this. Spending a few days with a gentle mentor did Thomas a lot of good, both in his skill and character. You also seem to be crafting your own canon - or at least a variation of events - as if these videos are from a different group of witnesses and written records than the RWS or TV show; that's REALLY cool!
I love the brotherly relationship between Thomas & James
It's so wholesome :)
I like how the trucks were judging Thomas as he was pulling them!
These are soooooo good! I just discovered Trampy Movie and am binging all of them!❤❤❤❤❤
These are very good retellings of the original stories!😊😊😊😊😊😊
Best Description I've seen so far, 10/10 synopsis. Won't deny I love how despite it all James is still a good friend to Thomas.
I ADORE THIS!!! What I love most are how you snuck in parts from "The Adventure Begins". You are simply a genius.
This might be my favorite Trampy Movie so far. I would love to see a part in a later Trampy Movie (most likely the next one), where Thomas helps rebuild the Ffarquhar Branchline, kinda like how MasterOfTrainz did his story "Thomas, Annie and Clarabel". And i never expected this Trampy Movie to release so early. I thought there would be a week or two left before it would've released, but i guess not then. These stories are wonderful, and i love every single one of them. Great job, Trampy.
I've been waiting for this to happen and now that it did, I am amazed.
This Trampy Movie really stands out from all the others, i really felt the all the characters emotions even with just pictures, the voice acting on this one is absolutely beautiful.
God, this couldn't have been more perfect. You keep on getting better and better, it's incredible! The interactions between all the engines are spot on!!
Hearing James screaming is quite unnerving but at the same time, it give me flashbacks to Krakatoa exploding of the Tugs redub lol
Here is the screams:
8:04 8:39
I love how insecure James is being over Thomas taking his goods
6:18 honestly up until now, I don’t exactly blame James for his pent up anger, he’s in my opinion the most disrespected engine in this series, most of the engines just cast him off as another engine and that’s it
10:57 reference
12:27 reassurance from james
The trucks are still fun this
This is amazing!😁
Again, the mix of the RWS, TVS and TAB is genius!👍
Keep up the good work!
Edit: Cool reference to JBS!
Tho I thought James would be the same story as with wooden blocks and black paint this story certainly is awesome and really put in effort I can’t wait for every other engines arrivals and story’s certainly Donald and Douglas that would be funnnnnni af
10:56 you sneaky little bastard, putting in that JBS reference
The amount of custom images is amazing! This retelling makes the original story amazing.
Fantastic reinterpretation of Thomas and The Breakdown Train! I love how the crash was more realistic with James’ driver knocked off his footplate instead of him burning out wooden brakes while also retaining the chase sequence from The Adventure Begins. That chase was also another great job of editing like the faces in the past episodes.
Im surprised mattel hasn’t copyright striked this series. 10/10 tho
This was a really cool 100/10 can’t wait for James’s return and more of Thomas’s branch line adventures
Gotta say, yet another banger, Trampy! I absolutely loved the incorporation of elements from the TAB, and felt it added a lot to the story. Plus, the change from "wooden brake blocks" to "driver knocked off" was, although kinda odd, also an interesting change that I liked! And that ending was so nice, and heartwarming. What a great way to wrap up Thomas' story. Well done, Trampy! Well done!
Warning bit of rant here: SO thankful that the included TAB bits were changed to make _actual_ sense. I mean, first, WHERE THE HECK DID THAT RANDOM BRANCH COME FROM?!! It was just nonsense placed there to keep Thomas from coupling up! Second, how does the guard mess up with one of his main jobs?! I know the train is in motion, which changes things up a bit, but coupling engines and cars together is part of the job!! YOU HAD ONE JOB, MAN!! And third, Thomas, I know you're trying to encourage the guard, but SHUT UP!!! You don't have to say stuff along the lines of "Keep Trying!" or "Don't Give Up!" fifty million times! Literally the only good part of that scene imo was the cool derailment at the end of it, and that's saying something! The bit with Thomas talking to the guard annoyed me so much I actually kinda wished the guard van would slam into him during the derailment! Nothing severe, just a hard bump! Anyway, that's all from me, I'm done.
Using the TAB approach to James's runaway was actually the last thing I expected, purely because I reasoned that a Jinty-sized engine probably couldn't keep up with a runaway mixed traffic engine. But whatever, suspension of disbelief and all.
That aside, this actually made a much better impact than how TAB did it. Having Thomas actually succeed at reducing the severity of the crash was much more impactful than his efforts being completely pointless.
James Should Be Happy, He Didn't Have To Pull a Goods Train.
Yes, but it’s HIS work, and Thomas had no right to steal it, there is no situation where James should not be mad about Thomas taking his goods
@@bernarda1247, Thomas Stole It With Edward.
@@PCMan8922 then I guess the thing about Thomas applies with Edward to
“OMG Thomas I’m gonna die!!!!!”😂😂
No you’re not stay with me James I’ll.. I’ll gonna try to couple up behind you I’m going to try and slow you down
I think this deserves a massive round of applause! 👏
Agreed 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
0:38
I like this edit of Edward, lol! Old but still cheeky !
2:46
Awesome edit on Gordin, once again! XD
9:46 9:58
Sweet edits on Thomas!
This is spectacular Trampy! I love Thomas & James' interactions with each other! I also adore the Thomas & Edward moments! It is so wholesome to watch Thomas earning his branchline. I also really love the runaways in this series! The screams can be hysterical sometimes. XD Excellent work Trampy!
Such an amazing end to Thomas’ arc. Definitely my favourite one so far!
Just started watching it and I already love it. The voice acting, the sound effects, the echoes. Just perfection. Keep up the amazing work Trampy.
Love it! I really love Thomas's character development in the episode!
Nice conclusion Trampy.
Now, onto the James saga.
That last shot with Thomas on his branch line with Annie and Clarabel, I’m sure could’ve been more wholesome.
I like the fact in this vid they included the old "Thomas and The Breakdown Train" with the new "James Chase Scene" from The Adventure Begins. Feels more like Thomas was doing all he could to save james before he went through that curve.
Once again, you succeed in the brilliance of these shorts, stupendous work as always Trampy!
6:24 The Most Aggressive “SHUT UP!”
The thing in this episode that I find the best is when Thomas and Edward are at the hill, the trucks monitor his performance as they go over the hill, it’s like they help him in a way and I love that
I love that they did a remake of that scene where Thomas tries to slow down the train (from the adventure begins). I also love that Edward helps Thomas when he is pulling trucks up the hill. I also love that scene where James & Thomas talk, as well as Edward congratulating Thomas on getting his branch line. You’ve done an excellent job trampy.
Was anyone else on the verge of tears towards the last 30 seconds?
Wow! This episode is amazing! I love how you added The Adventure Begins chase scene! Everything else is in awesome perfection!
This is me trying not to cry over how amazing this video is
Three or Four Thomas Movies In a Row!
Love how Edward encourage Thomas to do well handling the trucks and get him ready on what comes next. James had me in tears 😂😂😂 all the aggression and yelling thinking Thomas would replace him if he does well. Bellends and muppets had me dying on the floor 😅😅😂😂😂😂😂
Incredible, just incredible. The story, the dialogue, everything is so amazing in this movie. This one’s up there with Rescue as my favorites. I like the expansions on James’ insecurities especially.
Oh dear, this series will go down in history as one of the best reimaginings ever
I love how most of this is just the adventure begins
0:36 I love how you edited Edward’s face👍🚂
Next time on trampy movie:
But Percy just went
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The only way I can describe this is beautiful, the voice acting to the take on characters is amazing. I also love how you changed the story to where it doesn’t just make sense, but even makes it better. Better then anything modern Thomas could do.
The runaway scene is like the adventure begins climax but this one is more epic and more real with the characters. A satisfying way to end Thomas’ arc and the start of an arc for James the red engine.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 james screaming is the funniest thing since the thomas and the trucks screaming😂😂
When I said the thumbnail I was like “oh boy here we go this is going to be a fun one”
Man, watching these feels like rewatching the series for the first time, they’re such fresh and interesting takes on the scenarios. I can’t get over how truly stunning each episode you’ve put out is!
Well done on the great characterization! And I love how the trucks actually rooted for Thomas. Well done, man!
Love how wholesome the ending felt, and all the parallels this had with "The Adventure Begins"
Though I do feel really bad for James's future now... Now that Thomas has his branchline, he'll only have Gordon and Henry pushing him around as his only influences and no one else who shares a similar situation as him. This is essentially the beginning of his vanity and ego being bolstered...
I do hope he gets the hiccups in the next episode though, that would be a fun parallel to the same story in RWS
