What a wonderful story. It's nice to see the scenario of what could've been brought to life if Toby didn't arrive. Any Thomas story that adheres to good railway practices and entertains at the same time is definitely a winner in my book!
Actually I personally think that the side plates can have a transparent net at each driving wheels, so that we can still see Thomas'a beautifully painted blue wheels while moving. And that shall allow him to breathe out steam from pistons more comfortably.
I knew there was a reason I loved you, Wow- this felt just like watching a lost episode, the visuals couldn’t have been better & I had to marvel at finally seeing Thomas as a proper Tram. People like you are able to extend you arms with love and let thomas die happily in them knowing that he’s been a really useful engine Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!
I Loved The Reference To Thomas In Trouble In The Railway Series Book Toby The Tram Engine In This Story And Thomas Did Wear Cowcachers and Sideplates Even if It Was Embarrassing and Funny This Was a Good Hardworming Story Thank You I Loved It.
Stories about a grumpy Thomas never fail to be entertaining! The voice acting was superb and the models and sets looked fantastic. Hope you have a great Christmas and I look forward to seeing whatever work you produce in the new year!
I once made an OC name Tom with sideplates and cow catchers. After seeing Trampy video with Thomas inba dream having them it actually looked pretty good, but seeing this felt so amazing.
Dude this is a awesome video and of course it's probably all inspired by the one line saying Thomas would look silly as a tram. I absolutely love the story can't wait to see more in the future.

There's also a story where the Constable tickets a load of cars including his Sergeant's, resulting in him being transferred to a desk job. Rosie also meets a Constable but he's more friendly and says the Fat Controller arranged with the Chief Constable to revoke the law because of increased loads
Back in the classic in Trouble for Thomas when the officer told Thomas and SirTophem that the tank engine needed coach catchers, This made me laugh that he actually went threw with it. Love your work.
@@elsbridgeproductions I wanted to know of how you managed to film the engines up close with perfect accuracy in an area or even focused on an engine. I was thinking about next year after my spring semester of college is over is doing my own stories of engines using hornby models similar to Thomas just make up my own characters. What do you think?
A cowcatcher wouldn't actually double as a snowplough as it's slotted; it would let snow through (as an American train engineer discovered to his horror during the Great New York Blizzard of 1888)
Yeah I did think about that. I guess I decided to go by the TV series logic where toby and mavis never seem to need ploughs, as well as the fact that the snow wasn't too heavy
Was the snow temporary or permanent here? If temporary, ya vacuumed up the snow to make it spring again or? If permanent, I presume you duplicated the spring variant of the sets, huh?
I suppose this is based more on the TVS canon where we never see Toby with a cowcatcher. I always assumed that he either wasn't strong enough to clear snow or that he didn't need one for light snow thanks to his cowcatchers.
Unfortunately I can't upload the cowcatchers to my shop as I didn't design them. If people are really interested I might be able to make some though using my new Toby shell I've been making
I'm not entirely sure as I don't own many trackmaster engines. I can tell you that the ploughs will fit over a bufferbeam which is 4cm wide, but to attach it to the engine you may need to use blu-tak or something similar as there may not be a better way of attaching it
Think about the episode Thomas In Trouble (Thomas Breaks The Rules) Thomas and Friends season 1 when he got into trouble with the police for not wearing cowcatchers and sideplates on the middle of the road railroad tracks for the tram only
What a wonderful story. It's nice to see the scenario of what could've been brought to life if Toby didn't arrive. Any Thomas story that adheres to good railway practices and entertains at the same time is definitely a winner in my book!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

Thomas actually looks cool with cowcatchers and sideplates.
Shh. He might hear you
@itsEerierFish
Me too
I wonder if Thomas can wear two much bigger blue cowcatchers which can perform as his gigantic snowplow as well?
TBH he kinda looks like a tram LOL-
I agree
Actually I personally think that the side plates can have a transparent net at each driving wheels, so that we can still see Thomas'a beautifully painted blue wheels while moving.
And that shall allow him to breathe out steam from pistons more comfortably.
A lovely story wonderfully crafted through model-work. Amazing work.
This was perfectly put together. This truly feels like a classic.
Thank you!
Oh man... I can imagine pictures being taken of Thomas with his cowcatchers and sideplates! They'd be all over the media! LOL
WELLSWORTH WHISPERER: Ffarquhar's Thomas is a tram? No. 5 James claims it's permanent.
😂
So very funny! Thomas throwing James's insults back at him was gold!
Thomas said that passengers would laugh at him if he looked like a tram, but I had to try not to laugh, even audiences find it funny.
Even tho there's season 2 characters this gave me season 1 vibes for some reason

It is a good thing that the police didn't see Thomas without his cowcatchers and sideplates
Thomas: "I hate cowcatchers!"
Strasburg Thomas: "allow me to introduce myself & my cowcatchers"
@@SteamIsntKing lol hi buddy
I can actually see this happening in real life, great work!!!
This feels like a Season 1/2 episode! I love it!
These sets! Those voices! The story! All fantastic - you should be very proud!
Thank you!
This story makes Thomas gains his own removable cowcatchers and side-plates.
Amazing work,and seeing thomas with cow catchers is wondeful,looks better then having the snowplough on in my eyes
The amount of effort and time you must’ve put into this is amazing.
Just about a month's work, I started earlier this year, otherwise I don't think I'd have finished it!
Yeah lots a time and effort just like the classic series.
Stories about a grumpy Thomas never fail to be entertaining! The voice acting was superb and the models and sets looked fantastic. Hope you have a great Christmas and I look forward to seeing whatever work you produce in the new year!

This really feels like I'm watching a Thomas Classic episode, amazing job on this
Thanks!
The sets in the video were incredible! It felt like a true classic episode and the story came together in every way! Amazing work!
Thanks! That's definitely the vibe I was going for!
This is the best thing ive ever seen. These episodes are great.
I once made an OC name Tom with sideplates and cow catchers. After seeing Trampy video with Thomas inba dream having them it actually looked pretty good, but seeing this felt so amazing.
I was going to ask who narrated this short. But turns out to be SodorNWRSteam, so props to him for narrating the story.
He did a brilliant job!
@@elsbridgeproductions I agree.
This was lovely! A wonderful episode for Christmas Eve
Thanks!

Thank you!
Very nice work! I can’t believe this is entirely based off one line!
Thanks!
This is excellent Luca. Well done with the stories and the sets.
Thank you!
Well done, that was a first class story, very unique.
Thanks!
In Strasburg PA, during the Day Out with Events, we can see Thomas with the Cowcatcher!
Absolutely amazing episode! Love it and great for the Christmas season!
Thanks!
I think Thomas looks cool he’s doesn’t silly with wearing cow catchers
Actually I personally think that the side plates can have a transparent net at each driving wheels, so that we can still see Thomas'a beautifully painted blue wheels while moving.
And that shall allow him to breathe out steam from pistons more comfortably.
"Everyone will laugh, Sir," said Thomas. "They'll say I look like a tram!"
Well I'd never thought I'd see the day where someone takes advantage of Thomas In Trouble, this was put together perfectly!
There's also a story where the Constable tickets a load of cars including his Sergeant's, resulting in him being transferred to a desk job.
Rosie also meets a Constable but he's more friendly and says the Fat Controller arranged with the Chief Constable to revoke the law because of increased loads

@@elsbridgeproductions can I ask you a question?

@@kennethjoseph9309 I just filmed with a Canon EOS 700D and changed the focus to be on whatever I needed to see in the shot
The Outro Music Is AMAZINGLY GOOD
That Thomas model is beautiful
I gotta say Thomas looks good with cow catchers
Small details like 1:25 (Edward in the background with his whistle).
Looks like this came true after all, Thomas wearing side plates and cow catchers like Toby.
And does you and anyone else notice that Thomas doesn't have a cowcatchers at the rear? Only the front has!
THIS WAS AMAZING, its like an actual classic thomas episode, though i think adding a lot more pebbles near the tracks could be better
Yeah I usually add ballast but I didnt want to add snow to the ballast as it would be hard to separate them again.
@@elsbridgeproductions k thx flr responding
thomas with side plates is an aesthetic
1. If you made Hercules from TUGS in the Shapeways store would you make the rest of the Star Tugs and Z Stacks?
2. Bandai or ERTL?
I have one gripe with this episode and that is that the head codes are wrong but apart from that is an amazing episode
I quite enjoyed this!
Constable: (To James) YOU TOO BIG FELLOW LAW BREAKER!!!
That’s a good James voice.
Thomas looks cool with sideplates
Well done on this video! :D Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎄
Merry Christmas!
They are cool and you have your stuff on shape ways for a reasonable price
Thank you
I would pay a lot of money to make some side plates in cow catchers for my HO scale
great job of making original thomas stories
Fantastic!!! Well worth the wait.
Thanks!
This is actually super cool. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Very impressive!
That looks coo on Thomas amazing episode I thought you'd never post again
This has inspired me to make my own custom tram engine
Thomas: l dont want CowCatchers!
*later*
Thomas: im Thomas the Tram Engine Now.
Merry Christmas
😎
Cowcatchers on Thomas James this isn’t America
I got an ad at 4:35, immediately after it ended he was wearing the cowcatchers
Feels like a Season 5 episode US narration.
A cowcatcher wouldn't actually double as a snowplough as it's slotted; it would let snow through (as an American train engineer discovered to his horror during the Great New York Blizzard of 1888)
Yeah I did think about that. I guess I decided to go by the TV series logic where toby and mavis never seem to need ploughs, as well as the fact that the snow wasn't too heavy

Merry Christmas to you too!
This was great and why do I kinda like Thomas with cow catchers
Hah yeah, it's grown on me too.
Merry Christmas
Real question: Can cow catchers really move snow out of the way?
Custom Bachmann Shooting Star Gordon With Good Details
What if I could make this into a classic series episode sort of style?
Is the audio available to use with credit?
Sorry, I'd rather keep this one private for now
@@elsbridgeproductions Ok that’s fine
Awesome job!
Thanks!
@@elsbridgeproductions You're welcome
If I were Sir Topham Hatt and Thomas told me he won't wear a cow catchers I'll take his branchline away from him or his coaches
Should've called it Thomas the Tram Engine. It's still good, though.
I thought about it but decided against it
really love your cowcatcher and side plates are those available as well really nice job
I can't sell the cowcatcher unfortunately, as I didn't design the model, just modified it.
@@elsbridgeproductions aww looks good how about the sideplates?
Strasburg Version: Revenge!
Thomas if Toby never arrived on the Sodor be like
Was the snow temporary or permanent here? If temporary, ya vacuumed up the snow to make it spring again or?
If permanent, I presume you duplicated the spring variant of the sets, huh?
The snow is temporary, just bicarb soda which I cleaned up afterwards. The spring sets I think were built separately, yes
What a great story how did you make those cowcatchers and side plates plates for your Thomas model?
They were 3D printed and painted by me!
@@elsbridgeproductions You did a very great job I'm impressed
@@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan thank you!
Would you sell just the project (the file) to me? I coild print here. I live in Brazil and I dont think the product will arrive here...
Nice video and is that the snow plow from shape ways
Yes it is! You can buy them from my store
But toby wears a snowplow in the illustrations of the railway series book thomas' christmas party
I suppose this is based more on the TVS canon where we never see Toby with a cowcatcher. I always assumed that he either wasn't strong enough to clear snow or that he didn't need one for light snow thanks to his cowcatchers.
1:29 just wait James it'll bite you in the tender
🎅🙏
yes a new video
"Thomas the Tram Engine rolling aloooong~! 🎵"
Sorry, I had to.
are the cowcatchers & side plates still available in your shop?
Unfortunately I can't upload the cowcatchers to my shop as I didn't design them. If people are really interested I might be able to make some though using my new Toby shell I've been making
@@elsbridgeproductions ah ok can't wait for that cause i like to use them for something special
Very good video
Hey I have a question do the trackmaster snow plows also fit with the track master two engines
I'm not entirely sure as I don't own many trackmaster engines. I can tell you that the ploughs will fit over a bufferbeam which is 4cm wide, but to attach it to the engine you may need to use blu-tak or something similar as there may not be a better way of attaching it
@@elsbridgeproductions okay thank you
@@elsbridgeproductions hey what type of 3d printer do you use for your stuff on shapeways
@@jonjonscoolthings9296 shapeways uses their own printers but at home I use am anycubic Photon s and an ender 3 max

Can you buy the Bachman Peter sam & yellow rheneas ? To review
What great bachmann double 0 gauge Thomas and Friends train models they have
Maybe the farhqare line should be a tram way almost 20 percent of the road meets the railway
Think about the episode Thomas In Trouble (Thomas Breaks The Rules) Thomas and Friends season 1 when he got into trouble with the police for not wearing cowcatchers and sideplates on the middle of the road railroad tracks for the tram only
Thomas WAS RIGHT they look ridiculous on him XD
