I think this is genuinely one of the best Trainz videos I have seen in the last few years. I really really loved the music here, and I really enjoyed how grounded and down to earth this video is. It feels so genuine, and you can really see the passion in this. All of the VAs did really great in this too! If this is the pilot, then I am more than excited to see what else you have in store. Great job on this, you should really be proud!
Percy hitching a ride with Emily and Henry to Vicarstown to deliver the coal there while Thomas delivres it in the rest of the stations was the best plan Thomas and Percy had come up.
17:21 YES. FINALLY! SOMEONE WROTE PERCY STANDING UP FOR HIMSELF. His dynamic with Thomas is very much give or take depending on the subject, and Percy never gets to stand his ground.
Chad Percy is what I want to see more of in the future. You dont f**k with Percy and other stories... 😡🤜💚 This isn't the first time Percy stood up for himself and others. He did to that painter in "Percy and the painter" and to Flying Scotsman in "Scot free" by Nino's Productions. I want to see more of the angry side of Percy more often than just (cough x2) "dirty Percy" jokes.
That was an awesome pilot episode. Thomas and Percy acting like their old Series 2 selves. It was great to see them working together and Thomas was still the cheeky little engine we know and love. Percy really did have quite a temper on him during the story. I was surprised with how Edward interjected during the argument. I must congratulate #Lizproductions5784 and #Geebmachine for their performances of Thomas and Percy. They were astonishing 😀. The rest of the cast were amazing too, including Ceci♠️Asa for her role as Emily. This is the first time I have heard her voice act. Well done to everyone involved with this project. I look forward to seeing the next episode 😁.
To Joel Hunter and Lizproductions6 you were both spot on as Thomas and Percy. You both sounded like the va from the magic railroad and the cgi series. Really we;l done performances.
I agree with you, Andrew Brenner wanted to adapt the pompouss prat that Gordon was in the past, but this adds mor layers to his personality, which are very appreciated
“Cheeky Little Drip.” “You Big Drip.” You did the finest homages and quotes from the original series. Not gotta lie, the pilot episode is likely good, reminds of Thomas and Percy from rivalry to amends, and of course mentioning about coal with a flashback montage. [8:03] is a great scene you added. For that Giano. You did well.
I loved how I saw Emily and Henry struggling with their train when the camera zoomed into the shot of Edward, Percy, and Thomas! It is so cool that you subtly foreshadowed what was going to happened!
Wow, this was absolutely amazing. One of the best pieces of Trainz Content I've ever seen. Great work mate. Also love the flashback sequence showing Thomas and Percy's trouble with coal over the years!
Genuinely, this was the most fun I have had when watching a thomas production in a long time. I was smiling from ear to ear the entire time. This style of storytelling is so refreshing and extraordinary I just couldn’t ask for more in a thomas production, you tick off every check mark. Everyone was in character perfectly, Thomas cheeky, got a big head, stubborn, and felt extremely genuine at the end. Percy was competent, lovable, had is his trademark anger explosion, and was very sympathetic. Morals where really well handled, what the fat controller said was true, Edward words were well chosen, and even what percy said at the end felt so relatable, I’m sure everyone at one point was in his position. The humor, oh gosh, where do I even begin. I guess the one that gave me the first big laugh was when Sir topham was telling thomas and percy about their special, just seeing their expressions slowly change from happy to disappointment was priceless. That montage of them with the coal was so clever, and then other small timed gags were great as well. Camera work was remarkable, so many fun camera shots, so much life, Sodor felt so alive, nothing ever stood still. The pacing was impeccable, it almost never slowed down and definitely works. Incredible sound track, I loved hear the tfc theme in the beginning, i got chills when i heard the little engines music. that was definitely a highlight. And Finally the humans, that is probably something I genuinely appreciate, you taking the time to give both thomas’ and percy’s crew screen time, they are not just hands for the engines. They are more than that. Seriously this was a phenomenal pilot, every single thing in this was done so perfectly. I have not scene thomas and percy’s friendship felt so genuine, so real, since tale of the brave. You have made probably my favorite thomas production this year in terms of telling a really fun story about two, real friends, putting a test on their friendship. Absolutely incredible work you have made here, I really cannot wait to see more. I wish I could say more, but Just can’t get my words out, This comment will never be enough to say how much I genuinely loved this story. Keep up the phenomenal work!
Not sure how to put it, but the music feels very... delicious, I suppose. Your music style for covering the themes across the eras of Thomas' time on TV is arguably one of the most addictive (in a good way) and wholesome renditions to be heard out of the fandom! The TATMR music is very much appreciated, by the way, though that intro is also just awesome! Everything else is by no means bad; I can see where you were going casting a female voice for Percy to resemble his TATMR voice - which the VA for Thomas was surprisingly accurate in that regard as well! It's all just so charming and satisfying, and we're all here for it!
Now THIS is the Thomas and Percy story we all NEEDED but never got! I honestly think this is the best story ever made with the duo that I've seen! Very well made and a perfect story for a pilot episode! Can't wait to see what else you have in store!
At least they were't pulling big balloons and Gordon didn't come to tell them that they're idiots. Though Thomas did want to tell Percy that he's wrong in the 1st and 2nd strikes but didn't want to upset him.
I enjoyed this immensely, such a great mix of music, visuals, storytelling, and editing! I can't wait to see where the series goes next!! It was also a blast voicing Gordon in this, thank you so much for having me on board for the adventure!!!
Congratulations on starting your series on such a high note, everything here is phenomenal, the story is paced smoothly, a fun flashback sequence with TVS footage, the music slaps, the Little Engines bit at Gordon's Hill is my favorite. The VAs were awesome, Thomas is his usual cheeky self, Joel Hunter's voice for him here gives me some Magic Railroad vibes. Liz as Percy...an unusual choice, yes, but still works and it's cute. Joey Turner as Henry is also rare but he did great too, and everyone else is pretty much on point. We also get some decent character development, after all the times Thomas belittled and mocked Percy between S2-6, we finally see Percy stand up for himself and give Thomas the reality check he had coming. Overall, you knew what you had to do, locked in and COOKED 😎 Amazing job for a pilot👍
This was such a refreshing take on Thomas storytelling... Although it's not really that different from the offical show at first glance. I do like how more in depth you go for character conflict and motives specifically with Thomas and Percy. i like seeing the two have differences with one another, really nice conflicts between the characters too. I do love the subtle detail of gordon being nice to Thomas due to their alliance, and Percy not liking him for just being his pompous self. This is great story and if this is only the pilot, i can't wait to see more. Well done man this was worth the wait!
Thank U m8! I try my best to write the characters as in character as I know them. And you can't have a Thomas story without some form of two characters conflicting.😁
@@noahmaybin1781 the 1st scene was filmed and completed before they were released. I thought about reshooting, but decided to leave it as,it is,and use the new models from now on🙃👍
Definitely feels like something that came from the Railway Series 😁 I already can't wait for more episodes, Thrills on Rails is just as great as Trampy Movies and The Stories of Sodor. The Gordon scene was amazing, very glad you kept his alliance with Thomas and I especially love how you kept Emily's series 7 personality. Really love what you did with Thomas and Percy's dynamic, it reminds me so much of the Railway Series back when they were more frenemies than besties like in the actual show. I so love Percy in this story from his resentment towards Gordon to his outburst with Thomas (Star Billing Bastard had had it coming for SO long 🤣) I totally felt Percy's frustration, this is Percy at his most relatable since series 5. Also the kid voice you gave Percy totally works, it fit his personality perfectly. This Chip on the Shoulder Percy is something we need more of 🤣🤣🤣 Glad you've had Edward resolve their conflict instead of Toby for a change. Their reconciliation at the end actually felt very meaningful and heartwarming along with the Drip Tank reference. Amazing story, mate! SO worth the wait! Can't wait for more! 😅
Dude the opening theme alone is worthy of praise! Not to mention the lovely visuals and exceptional voice cast! 11/10 so stoked to see this series continue!
I've been listening to your many tracks on SoundCloud for a long, long time, and tbh, seeing you finally releasing this pilot for your upcoming series is honestly a dream come true... this is so good I can't even put my thoughts into words. Really looking forward to the new episodes as they release!!! X333
What an great pilot! Words alone can't describe how much it was. I love how the interactions and dynamics the characters have with each other, especially Thomas and Percy. Well done to everyone involved with this, you all did an amazing work!
Awwww, this was a great video! Super well done and a great story with spot-on characterization. I really love how at the end, Percy acknowledges how Thomas has grown and matured but still has certain personality flaws, like not always being thoughtful of others and having a bit of an ego. Plus, Percy being a hard worker who's also a little sensitive to insults and prone to blowing up feels perfect. Edward was also on point; he's so proud of how far they've come, even when he needs them both to just cool it. You did an amazing job with the writing and characters, and I can't wait for more in this series!!
This is astounding for a pilot! it really is a perfect introduction to the island and its fun cast of characters. I LOVE the banter that Thomas and Percy have throughout this, as well as all the little callbacks and background voices we hear! Your music score is top tier stuff, I adore the motifs and cues sprinkled throughout each piece! The sound design is also worthy of praise, because holy cow, the little sound details you add captivate me. Overall, a fantastic video, I look forward to seeing more from you, keep up the amazing work!
Thank you! I treated this pilot like as if it would be someone's first look into Thomas/ a new series in general. Foe the SFX, I tried mixing them so that it feels as real and realistic as possible, like as if you're in the scene. And music wise, found a way to make the music company the story, so it uses all sorts of key motifs & leitmotifs😁
I really really apperciate the smooth transtions. Its like a perfect evolution between cgi animation and the stop motion. Also the "little engine" lemotif made me smile!
This is genuinely the best piece of Thomas content, official or fanmade that I have EVER had the pleasure of viewing. Everything about it is phenomenal; the cinematography is engaging, the score is beautiful, the characters are written so well, and the voice acting is spot-on! I love how every character has a unique voice, differing from common tropes within the fandom (such as the whispery henry or the overly scouse james), it brings such a welcome change to the main cast. This feels more like Thomas than the entirety of the CGI series, and I wholeheartedly believe that if you presented this to most people, they would believe it was a genuine episode of an official series rather than non-profit fan work. Throughout this episode, I was beaming from ear to ear with genuine happiness, rivalling my early years watching thomas as a kid, and a sense of nostalgia and pride I have never felt in fan content before. For a pilot, this does an amazing job setting the tone for the rest of the series, and I cannot wait to watch this masterpiece unfold. Amazing work done by everyone involved in this project, you should all be proud of the work you've done.

Holy moly! What a pilot! Fantastic work Giano! Great work to all the voice actors who took part of your amazing pilot! I love the music here! Arguably my favorite part of the pilot itself! Can’t wait for your future episodes!
😮 my my, this is a great one for sure, the great cast of voices, the sets, lighting *chef's kiss* a must see for sure! ✨ Great vid, 10/10 would watch again!
For a Pilot this was a banger!! And is so much fun to watch ❤ From Music, Filming, and VA's, the presentation was truly amazing and speaking of the VA's they did wonders in this one
This was an amazing video! The story, the music, the voice work, everything was incredibly well done. I loved how natural the dialogue was between the characters and it was so sweet to see how much the crews interacted with the engines. Such a fantastic video, I'm looking forward to the next one!
I have no notes, this is actual peak Such a good story with wholesome character dynamics and stunning music and good cinematography to match! Brilliant on all fronts man, I can tell this series will go far (probably)
Wanted to leave the comment here too in case. ;) Such a great pilot to the beginning of your own series! Was fun to voice Percy so thanks for having me onboard! And job well done to the rest of the cast! I liked your custom made music which is a neat treat. Only thing is to maybe adjust the sound effects and dialogue because it was kinda difficult to hear in some parts of the video. Other than that, great work!
@@aliciashepherd8912 I ended up topping my pizza with a little bit of a few things: Mushroom, green bell pepper, pepperoni & sausage. Oh, and some red pepper flakes & parmesan sprinkled on top. As for drinks, I add lemon & pomegranate juice to water with ice cubes, a bit like a lemonade almost. It was very delicious!
I will say for the pilot episode that was fantastic! I will say you did capture the classic character dynamic with Thomas and Percy from Season 5. I will say the visual effects in the story feel like the ones from Season 5 and that was perfect. I will love to see more stories from you and that was really fun to watch.
This was an amazing pilot episode!!! My heart practically burst after seeing some of the trains we only saw in the original show, especially Murdoch! I really hope he gets some well deserved screentime!
I like this, the voices sound like there from magic railroad, I think this is the best I have every seen. I actually thought this was a real episode. 10/10
Just watched, and I'm a huge fan of this! The music is incredible, the casting is top tier, the visuals are stunning, i don't really have much else to say, but I'm highly looking forward to what the rest of this series has to offer!
I love the scene with the Troublesome trucks. If you were to ever do shorts of this series I would love one of just the trucks be silly and getting on the engines nerves all day
This is magnificent! It’s such a fresh and unique take on Sodor, and I think your music score really helped with that. Honestly makes me wish I could’ve been a part of this production. I will watch your career with great interest.
I cannot describe how much I love this video to bits, there were so many wholesome moments and I'm all for it! I can't tell you how much I love the casting either, hearing everyone was just so amazing! Same goes for the music; an incredibly crazy good job!! I really hope I can voice more for your series and I'm absolutely looking forward to the next video!
This is the most fun I had with a Trainz video in so long! I didn’t know how much I needed this. And the music is quite literally perfection. This is a first impression of your work and a wonderful first impression it is!
I think this is genuinely one of the best Trainz videos I have seen in the last few years. I really really loved the music here, and I really enjoyed how grounded and down to earth this video is. It feels so genuine, and you can really see the passion in this. All of the VAs did really great in this too! If this is the pilot, then I am more than excited to see what else you have in store.

Thank you very mutch Carson! It means a lot comming from you!😊😁👍
exactly what i was thinking!
I haven't watched the video yet I'm just now starting it but I agree that if the quality of the intro is this good I can't wait to watch the video.
Would love to see a collab between you 2 keep up the great work you both make great Thomas content always enjoy watching
Holy shoot it's Carson.
I LOVE HOW THE INTRO IS A MASHUP OF ALL THE THEMES OVER THE YEARS!!!

The sound design is also worthy of praise, because holy cow, the little sound details you add captivate me. Overall, a fantastic video, I look forward to seeing more from you, keep up the amazing work!
Thank you! I treated this pilot like as if it would be someone's first look into Thomas/ a new series in general. Foe the SFX, I tried mixing them so that it feels as real and realistic as possible, like as if you're in the scene. And music wise, found a way to make the music company the story, so it uses all sorts of key motifs & leitmotifs😁
I really really apperciate the smooth transtions. Its like a perfect evolution between cgi animation and the stop motion.
Also the "little engine" lemotif made me smile!
Thxx m8. Sometimes, it's the little things that capture the most charm😁👍
It's Funny when you really think about Thomas & Percy's history with Coal lol
Thomas, Percy and the Coal (the Sequel)

This is genuinely the best piece of Thomas content, official or fanmade that I have EVER had the pleasure of viewing. Everything about it is phenomenal; the cinematography is engaging, the score is beautiful, the characters are written so well, and the voice acting is spot-on! I love how every character has a unique voice, differing from common tropes within the fandom (such as the whispery henry or the overly scouse james), it brings such a welcome change to the main cast. This feels more like Thomas than the entirety of the CGI series, and I wholeheartedly believe that if you presented this to most people, they would believe it was a genuine episode of an official series rather than non-profit fan work.
Throughout this episode, I was beaming from ear to ear with genuine happiness, rivalling my early years watching thomas as a kid, and a sense of nostalgia and pride I have never felt in fan content before.
For a pilot, this does an amazing job setting the tone for the rest of the series, and I cannot wait to watch this masterpiece unfold.
Amazing work done by everyone involved in this project, you should all be proud of the work you've done.
Thxx m8. Glad you enjoyed it😁😁👍👍
Bro, you cooked with this episode and I kid you not but at 20:05 I got chills.🔥❤ Standing ovation right when the video was over.
Thxx m8. It's my fav part of the pilot😁😁

Holy moly! What a pilot! Fantastic work Giano! Great work to all the voice actors who took part of your amazing pilot! I love the music here! Arguably my favorite part of the pilot itself! Can’t wait for your future episodes!
Thxx m8😁😁
This was brilliant. A highlight of my weekend!!!!!
😮 my my, this is a great one for sure, the great cast of voices, the sets, lighting *chef's kiss* a must see for sure! ✨
Great vid, 10/10 would watch again!
Thank you!😄
Deadass the best pilot to a Trainz Series ive ever seen. Keep up the great work!
Thxx m8😁😁
For a Pilot this was a banger!! And is so much fun to watch ❤
From Music, Filming, and VA's, the presentation was truly amazing and speaking of the VA's they did wonders in this one
This was an amazing video! The story, the music, the voice work, everything was incredibly well done. I loved how natural the dialogue was between the characters and it was so sweet to see how much the crews interacted with the engines. Such a fantastic video, I'm looking forward to the next one!
Thxx m8! I'm glad you enjoyed it😁
I have no notes, this is actual peak
Such a good story with wholesome character dynamics and stunning music and good cinematography to match!
Brilliant on all fronts man, I can tell this series will go far (probably)
Wanted to leave the comment here too in case. ;)
Such a great pilot to the beginning of your own series! Was fun to voice Percy so thanks for having me onboard! And job well done to the rest of the cast! I liked your custom made music which is a neat treat. Only thing is to maybe adjust the sound effects and dialogue because it was kinda difficult to hear in some parts of the video. Other than that, great work!
Liz when was the last time you voiced Percy?
It's been almost a decade since you've voiced the boi!
Great thumbnail design! Can't wait for the premiere later tonight! I'll be sure to have a pizza & drink ready. :-)
Thxx m8. And I hope you enjoyed it as much as your pizza😁👍
What kind of pizza and what drink???
@@aliciashepherd8912 I ended up topping my pizza with a little bit of a few things: Mushroom, green bell pepper, pepperoni & sausage.
Oh, and some red pepper flakes & parmesan sprinkled on top. As for drinks, I add lemon & pomegranate juice to water with ice cubes, a bit like a lemonade almost. It was very delicious!
@@giano_art0653 I certainly did! Great entertainment to go alongside great food!

shits so good I had to say it three times 🗿
I will say for the pilot episode that was fantastic! I will say you did capture the classic character dynamic with Thomas and Percy from Season 5. I will say the visual effects in the story feel like the ones from Season 5 and that was perfect. I will love to see more stories from you and that was really fun to watch.
Thxx m8! Glad you enjoyed it😁👍
This was an amazing pilot episode!!! My heart practically burst after seeing some of the trains we only saw in the original show, especially Murdoch! I really hope he gets some well deserved screentime!
@@1nd1go92 thxx m8. And indeed he will have some roles in future😉👍
The scene of them rolling down the hill gave me chills
Amazing episode
Incredible, genuinely wonderful stuff. Instant subscribe from me. Cannot wait to see what comes next.
Thxx m8. Glad you enjoyed it😁👍
this is hands down a amazing pilot episode! I look forward to more being made!
@@FazclaireCasino thxx m8. Glad yoi enjoyed it😁👍
If this is the pilot, I’m excited to see what the full series looks like. Amazing work!
I like this, the voices sound like there from magic railroad, I think this is the best I have every seen. I actually thought this was a real episode. 10/10
That was one of the best Thomas videos I’ve ever watched! Phenomenal work! This was definitely worth waiting for!
Glad you enjoded it! Thx m8😁
Wow, that was amazing, the writing and music is phenomenal! well done boy well done! 👏

Thomas and Percy: Our disappointment is immeasurable and our day is ruined
Just watched, and I'm a huge fan of this! The music is incredible, the casting is top tier, the visuals are stunning, i don't really have much else to say, but I'm highly looking forward to what the rest of this series has to offer!
Thxx😁
Magnificent Work. The Voice Acting was awesome!
This is very well made, great job!
Marvellous work!😄👍
Been following this project since i first heard the wonderful music on soundcloud! And I certainly was not disappointed, this is amazing!
Hope the wait was worth it😉 Glad you enjoyed it m8😁👍
Sequel to Thomas, Percy and the coal
The theme song reminds me of MLP in a T&F sort of way with Classic/HiT/Brenner/BWBA/AEG Music of TTTE all together for this! Great Work!
Was just what I had in mind when scoring this.😉
And Eddie’s over here!
You did a very good job! 🎉 I’ve been waiting a few weeks for this and now it’s finally here!
I love the scene with the Troublesome trucks. If you were to ever do shorts of this series I would love one of just the trucks be silly and getting on the engines nerves all day
They're quite the loads of energy😂😂
And yeah, there'll be minisodes planned for the series and quite a few regarding the trucks😋👍
This is magnificent! It’s such a fresh and unique take on Sodor, and I think your music score really helped with that. Honestly makes me wish I could’ve been a part of this production. I will watch your career with great interest.
Thxx m8, hoping this can be a good start for something new😊👍
I cannot describe how much I love this video to bits, there were so many wholesome moments and I'm all for it! I can't tell you how much I love the casting either, hearing everyone was just so amazing! Same goes for the music; an incredibly crazy good job!! I really hope I can voice more for your series and I'm absolutely looking forward to the next video!
Thxx m8! Happy to have you for the pilot and am glad you enjoyed it😁👍
What a good Thrills On Rails Pilot episode 👍🚂💙✨
Been waiting for this for so long. And I love it 😊💙✨
Thx m8! Hope the wait was worth it😉😄
i am abnormally addicted to the voice acting and music
I really enjoyed this video. The more adult Thomas fan content is hilarious, but this wholesome type I can watch with my little boy. Cheers!
Such an incredible and delightful video!! 😊as always, keep up the awesome work!!! 😊😎👍
This is the most fun I had with a Trainz video in so long! I didn’t know how much I needed this. And the music is quite literally perfection.
This is a first impression of your work and a wonderful first impression it is!
@@Old_Known29 thxx a lot m8. Glad you enjoyed it😊😁👍
I loved the editing
I loved this story!!! Good job!
