Episode link: • Down the Mine This was such a fun story to put together--here's a small look at what went into making it. #thomasthetankengine #behindthescenes #ttte
DUDE! I can't comment on the actual Down the Mine video, since TH-cam has it marked for kids, but thank you so much for making this. I loved Thomas as a kid, and he and Sodor are still my guilty pleasure. Your adaptation made me smile the whole way through, and even actually laugh multiple times (especially at Terrance's blistering speed). I appreciate the respect you clearly have for the show/books, the dialogue was true to the characters, true to the source, and actually legitimately funny. And the love you have for the show and characters shine through the whole production! It clearly took tons of work and time, but thank you for making this!
I’m catching up on comments, but your kind words really meant a lot to read. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your thoughts-Sodor is a special place to me, and these videos are a labor of love.
Your sets astound me, I'd honestly love an in-depth, long video going through your thought process and steps when building a set. They feel so genuine and alive!
@@Calebtrain It absolutely did! The attention to detail on things like that added a great deal to the immersion, instead of just having a simple discussion and the passengers appearing dead quiet.
They should do more compile adaptation from Thomas and Friends episodes like "The Sad Story of Henry," "Eward, Henry and Gordon", "Pop Goes the Diseal", "Dirty Work", "Close Shave", "The Missing Coach", "The Brake Van", "The Deputation", Thomas Comes to Breakfast and other more.
It was a truly good production. One of if not the best yet. You probably got to understand how it felt for David Mitton and the team when they first did it.
Who else are you planning to make? I’d love to see the classic docks with cranky. Or diesel, Donald and Douglas, Oliver etc, to complete the classic line up
The mine scenes are reminding me of "A part of me stayed behind" by Richard Jordan for how huge and deep you made the hole that Thomas fell into. Maybe you can make something horror themed like that someday.
3 weeks late ahh what ever I love this, I'm quite Wondering where you got that Thomas Whistle Soundtrack from though if you don't mind me asking. Also keep up the great work!
The down the mine video was incredible! I feel obligated to ask, how do you clean up after you’re done filming, the sets look so tedious with all the seperate textures mixed in.
Let’s be honest the reason why the comments haven’t been removed as made for kids is because the algorithm thinks kids don’t give a damn about Behind The Scenes
Here’s an idea, I think you should make bigger verisons of the models likes so they also move there eyes on there own without editing, and make close up models
I was wondering, im currently looking for work and was wondering whether you ever need help with these videos! Your work is amazing and I'd love to help out in some way:)
remember this? th-cam.com/video/GztPVsiuMHM/w-d-xo.html I have a suggestion do it again, but with the special funnel song Peter Sam said again and again, his new funnel will put us to shame, went into a tunnel, lost his old funnel, now his famous new funnel's a drain add a second funnel, and use the same instrumental
@@Calebtrain can ie be more train models? I love to see how you made terrance or even other characters if you got any, like oilver or donald and douglas

@@Calebtrain Well, it definitely shows, man. The effects and models are a thing of beauty.
1:51 THAT'S FUCKING GENIUS
Took some set-up, but it worked in the end!
Your sets astound me, I'd honestly love an in-depth, long video going through your thought process and steps when building a set. They feel so genuine and alive!
I really appreciate that! I’ll keep that in mind for the future :) Thank you!
0:47 Ah yes, my favorite Sodor Landmark: Premier Protein
The windmill wishes it was as iconic
It is insane how I thought 1:57 was ACTUALLY a behind the scenes shot from the show. The craft and passion put into this video was amazing :)
That’s very kind of you to say! Thank you so much 😄
It looks like a hit era behind the scenes shot
@@TimTheWellTanknah a promo
This must’ve taken like, a month or two to finish production, but the final product was worth it! Keep doing what you do Caleb!
Yes it did take about a month and a half all together! Thanks so much for watching!
@Calebtrain my favorite line is this "ONE MORE TIME!"
ஏஏ@@Oneshot_Niko-2024
@@Calebtrain❤❤❤❤😂6😂😂😂🎉😢b6h 😢
Holy shit trackside funkin Thomas owner
1:56 the big picture looks like the Hit Era
Or The Great Discovery
season 11
@@BrentSudricYou read my mind
@@BrentSudricmaybe a little like the part where Thomas is shunting that long line of trucks for Stanley
1:41 I would like to point out that this doesn’t look like anything in down the mine, so does that mean put upon percys next?
Considering the narrow gauge track, I reckon this is meant to represent the abandoned mining network
Yes, @BrentSudric is right! It’s the underground mineshaft-you just never see that much of it in the final video haha
The fact that you added a automated train announcement at the station is freaking genius
It was a very late addition, but I’m glad to hear it made a difference! 😄
@@Calebtrain It absolutely did! The attention to detail on things like that added a great deal to the immersion, instead of just having a simple discussion and the passengers appearing dead quiet.
The part where the truck calmly says “bye-bye” is golden.
"UUUUAAAGGHAGH"
-Calebtrain 2024 🗿🍷
sometimes words aren’t enough
I know just how much hard work has gone in to this. The end product is amazing. Such a talent. Keep it going.
It’s a labor of love-makes it worth it to know people like these. Thank you kindly!
I loved your Down the Mine adaption. Thank you for the behind the scenes video.
Glad you enjoyed-thanks for watching!
Probably the best down the mine episode remake from the actual show
I was impressed when I watched it
They should do more compile adaptation from Thomas and Friends episodes like "The Sad Story of Henry," "Eward, Henry and Gordon", "Pop Goes the Diseal", "Dirty Work", "Close Shave", "The Missing Coach", "The Brake Van", "The Deputation", Thomas Comes to Breakfast and other more.
Congratulations on making this look as accurate to the show as possible.
Thanks! I do put my own spin on things here and there, but definitely trying to capture the spirit of the OG. 😊
The crazy production methods really inspired me to have a go myself. Excellent work Caleb!
The behind the scenes is just fascinating. I like the clever way of making the hole.
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!
Jacob really is the MVP
AYO IT’S SNOUT99
It was a truly good production. One of if not the best yet. You probably got to understand how it felt for David Mitton and the team when they first did it.
The video is a joy to watch from start to finish.
I like the classic bye-bye of a truck in the beginning
Silly old Thomas fell in a mine, fell in a mine, fell in a mine, silly old Thomas fell in a mine, all of the afternoon!
0:01 bye bye
Bye bye
This was such a beautiful production about a beautiful production. Hats off to you Caleb!
Thank you kindly! 😊
If you dont me asking, what kind of models do you use? If so what website? And if you made them yourself your pretty talented!!!
I use the Bachmann engines for the chassis, and then fabricate the bodies with 3D printed shells. I have a build video for each engine on my channel 😊
@@Calebtrain thanks man!
I think Thomas was afraid of going down the mine so you tried to push him 😂🚂
Caleb i think your remakes and models are outstandingly AMAZING! I hope you see this
I genuinely always have wanted to know what a thomas story would be like if they talked a lot more naturally. Like how we commonly talk.
Your videos are awesome especially the behind the scenes episodes keep up the great work
Glad you enjoy them! Thank you!
Who else are you planning to make? I’d love to see the classic docks with cranky. Or diesel, Donald and Douglas, Oliver etc, to complete the classic line up
Currently working on a ‘whirlybird’! I’d love to do those characters someday, though I don’t have any immediate plans.
Whats the editing software you use? & what camera?
I shoot with a Sony HandyCam AX43, and edit in Adobe Premiere Pro!
@@Calebtrain ok.
I love watching these Caleb gives me so many new ideas!!! Great work man!!!
I’m glad it’s helpful!! Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff!
This is the same man that kept me sane during the pandemic.
The mine scenes are reminding me of "A part of me stayed behind" by Richard Jordan for how huge and deep you made the hole that Thomas fell into.
Maybe you can make something horror themed like that someday.
I don’t have any plans for anything horror-themed, but I can appreciate the craft!
@@CalebtrainI like a little bit of darker themes in Thomas once in a while. 😈
The models sets and faces are so detailed!
You thought project tigermoth was cool? No, this is what you call cool
Project Tiger Moth is DEFINITELY cool 💯
The tube made for Gordon's funnel is really clever!
Thanks man! 😄
I made it before TH-cam balls everything up
TH-cam definitely needs to change its policy.
Thomas in the thumbnail looked like his great discovery model.
Your models are very detailed and I like them!
Thank you!
3 weeks late ahh what ever I love this, I'm quite Wondering where you got that Thomas Whistle Soundtrack from though if you don't mind me asking. Also keep up the great work!
I don't know why you made that Mineshaft so deep
I don’t either tbh
The down the mine video was incredible! I feel obligated to ask, how do you clean up after you’re done filming, the sets look so tedious with all the seperate textures mixed in.
I kind of don’t haha, there’s always a dirt/ballast/gravel base mix on the board that I build on top of!
i actually wanna see caleb make a sodor layout holy crap
HES BACK
Been quite busy with work, but I always come back :)
Is it actually going through the chassis or is it a separate fog unit inside Gordon? 2:01
Not a separate unit, it’s all coming from beneath and the straw helps funnel it into his chimney 🙂 I drilled a hole in his bogie for this too.
You should make a video around the sad story of Henry
through Thomas and the break down train, like the adventure begins.
The Thomas & Friends story is based on a real life event to a real tank engine that looks similar to Thomas the Tank Engine.
Let’s be honest the reason why the comments haven’t been removed as made for kids is because the algorithm thinks kids don’t give a damn about Behind The Scenes
This is incredible
Here’s an idea, I think you should make bigger verisons of the models likes so they also move there eyes on there own without editing, and make close up models
This was so cool
I was wondering, im currently looking for work and was wondering whether you ever need help with these videos! Your work is amazing and I'd love to help out in some way:)
No wonder why the four trucks were stuck in there after Thomas fell down XD
You've certainly put a lot of effort into it. 👏 👍
It’s a labor of love!
wake up babe, new calebtrain video dropped
Don't tell me maybe they used Thomas and Friends' Bachmann merchandise for the locomotives.
i like your stuff you really work hard
David Mitton would be proud, im sure of it!
What Thomas & Friends story are you planning to reenact next in HO scale models?
Percy’s got some stories :)
May I ask as a non-modeller, why is there a drinking straw inside Gordon?
WAIT nevermind, it was for the steam from the funnel wasn't it?
Incredible 🙌
Trucks: bye bye
Thomas just fall do barrel roll
That thumbnail gave me a bit of a giggle.😂
Haha I debated whether or not to use it, but it’s just so silly I couldn’t resist
Incredible
WHY ARE THEY TINY AND CUTE
IDK THEY ARE JUST SMOL
Funny, this has more views than the actual video
why did you not put the comments on the not behind the scenes but the comments on this?
Don’t have a choice, YT makes the ultimate decision :/
@@Calebtrain okie also do you wanna make a discord server (if you have a discord server or yeh im dumb asf)
I am learning from you, apparently! Just gonna snag your methods for the future!
Please do! 😄
Awesome!
Thanks!
Just like the original series made this!
Thank you!
Can i make a dvd using your videos i had this idea in my head for a long time
As long as you don’t sell them, have fun! :)
@@Calebtrain thanks dude this is why I made my channel Thomas related cuz you inspired me!
Wait Thomas wasnt a real E2 tank engine with a robotic face?
That looks awesome
Thank you!
How on Earth the BTS of the video down the mine got more views then the actual video
Crashes sell I guess 🤷🏽♂️
A part of me stayed behind... 👻
0:03 I M P A C T
This is Amazing 👍🏽
he like NO GOD PLEASE
accidents happen now and again…
Ngl i would love to see a something i left behind in model
can you make narrow gauge engine?(season6~11 model)
People that still have their liver 👇
Your toy is very cool, where can I get it?
Those are ho models he made
When are you going to upload a video Calebtrain
remember this?
th-cam.com/video/GztPVsiuMHM/w-d-xo.html
I have a suggestion
do it again, but with the special funnel song
Peter Sam said again and again, his new funnel will put us to shame, went into a tunnel, lost his old funnel, now his famous new funnel's a drain
add a second funnel, and use the same instrumental
thats the best thing ever bwut is it an unraired pilot or not iiiiiiiiiiiiiii
That Look Great
Thank you!
Your Welcome
How did you do that caleb?
A mix of practice and patience!
Nice😂
Cool
So cool video
Thank you!
Finally….
Ps: this is his 300th video and I know he’s deleting his old ones because the down the mine was his 300th vid but now this is his 300th vid
Can u do thomas trust plss about the muddy pond
And bertie james gordon and edward toad
why train not work 😥
Gordon actually had quite a major gearbox issue resurface at the end of shooting which meant I had to move him by hand for the last few shots 😅
why is all of their faces greasy
whens the next video?
Probably not this weekend, but perhaps the next!
@@Calebtrain can ie be more train models? I love to see how you made terrance or even other characters if you got any, like oilver or donald and douglas
bye-bye :)
