The Fat Controller's Engines - A Cancelled Story

The Fat Controller decides to bring his engines to the mainland to show the world his famous engines.
This story was planned as a promo video for Tramway3D's Jinty and Pug models, but they were released before I could finish the video, and eventually I abandonded it to work on Henry and the Elephant. Still, the video was a good ways into being made, and it seems a shame not to release it :).
I learned a lot about video-making through making this, and I hope you appreciate it. I've 2 videos fully edited, with music on the way, so look out for them soon!

I love how there are no sfx and Sir Topham Hatt still yells silence

[@elirosen1391]

He's gone a little crazy with the years.

Shame you didn't finish, you seemed to invested when you were working on it, but regardless, good work!

[@jaredgammino4613]

Absolutely brilliant!! This is what Thomas and the special letter should of been like in the first place!

[@NolanTheTugboat]

Henry, James, and Gordon’s Whistles at 3:14 and Thomas’ Whistle at 4:22 are true works of art. Are they available for public use?

[@ryansock8269]

They were made by Suddy Soap Bar, they aren't anywhere public, but you could always ask him

[@ayeshafenner7180]

No one:
Sir Topham Hatt: *S I L E N C E ! ! !*

[@connorflaherty175]

I think there was supposed to a collective whistle and horn chorus.

[@fishpop]

Having one of the Other Railway's engines be faceless is kinda creepy...
It's kinda funny how i'm watching this right after looking up Jinty & Pug. :P
Four of the actual Jintys made it to preservation but sadly the Pugs weren't so lucky. :(

[@RoseSupreme]

Nice job! It seems just about complete, only missing sound effects and some music in the second half.

[@jamessmithandgarrettsmith3623]

Add that missing music and SFX back in and there you go no one would know.

[@karenfan010]

thomas should be considered lucky sth didn’t decide to leave thomas home either way as a punishment.

[@thomassimpson95]

This reminds of the Series 4 episodes ''Thomas and The Special Letter'' which is the 100th episode of the show.

[@toainsully]

That episode was adapted from the Fat Controller's Engines

[@dannypalin9583]

It's genuinely hilarious how mean-spirited the original story was compared to the TV adaptation.
Especially when Thomas crashes. He runs through some buffers, rolls down a hill and smashes through a brick wall?
Oliver: OMG, Thomas, are you okay?
Jinty: XD
Thomas might have to sit the trip out.
Everyone (TV): Ah, man, sorry, bro.
Everyone: (RWS) HAHA, you f*cking loser!

[@evelynjiles29]

Shame you didn’t get to finish it, it was still a wonderful effort and I’m glad to see your growing strong
Let’s hope your not “STOPPED” in your “TRACKS” for the next upload, if you get what I’m saying😉

[@RyanHo242]

Bad joke.

[@martincraw7698]

It’s ok you didn’t finish the sound effects. This is still a great story

[@Steamenginesunited3456]

Do you have a first A Cancelled Story? What is this story about?

Please, do a close shave with 20 runaway trucks and series 5 Crosby

Wow

[@user-qz7pc4fo5c]

The engines are laughing at thomas after he hits the wall

[@gregkiteos1936]

6:44 Thomas is about to crash into Gordon!
Also, why can't we hear Gordon, James and Henry's whistles when they are waiting for Thomas? And why weren't Percy and Toby put onto flatbeds?

Ryan, out of curiosity, are you planning a follow-up to your adaptation of Henry and the elephant that is revolves around Gordon?

[@ryansock8269]

No, haven't got plans for follow-ups to Henry and the Elephant. I've got a winter story written, and an idea for a different halloween special, but we'll just have to wait and see how things go :)

Hello

[@thekingofthisworld2154]

I though it was “cancelled” because The Fat Controller said something racist 15 years ago 😂

[@qua2221]

Awesome Thomas episode. Can we be friends?
