I think for now this is it, this has been a lovely project to work on. It's very heartwarming to hear all the lovely comments (and criticisms!) yall gave me. It motivates me to do more and more! Thank you all so much for the support, I wouldn't have done it without yall!!! ๐๐

lastly, some alt takes and outtakes from the episodes lol
Some of these I did reuse for the '2 hours!' posts where i posted a preview of the episode

I decided to have Thomas in LBSC Brown just because originally I wanted to include the Engine Roll Call (because there's no brown engine and to have the videos be more accurate to the HiT era broadcasting style) but was discarded due to copyright issues. I still kept it though!๐

I had plans for bigger roles for the Loaned Engines, but decided to not do it and focus primarily on Edward, Henry and Gordon. However, I do have plan on doing actual focused stories on them ๐
11/14
Originally on A Big Day For Edward, Edward would've been very dirty to show he stayed in the sheds so long he became dusty. He'd then go out and have a washdown before going to Maithwaite Station. This was discarded for runtime

for some reason bsky doesnt have support for multiple videos on a same post so I have to post them like this ๐ญ
In between finishing everything to start filming, I did small concept videos to test all the assets and routes
9/14
However, the Maithwaite and Henry's Tunnel sets were all done by me. It was very fun to do them!!
8/14
The sets seen in the videos are all public, being the ones made by LegoTheMano, Jacklyn (ChocoCrunchCorp), KingsFilms, Dryite, RhysIndividual and more!

the figures were actually one of the first things done lol, they were done some time ago but I would just get to exporting them this year as well

New buildings were also modelled. Tidmouth Sheds despite having 6 berths, it's modelled after the CAE! sheds and had also the original weathering the S8 model had. The other buildings are also modelled to be in S10 condition
5/14
Production officially started on January of this year. I modelled quite a lot of rolling stock (primarily the ones seen in the HiT era).

I also planned on using classic thomas songs ITSO Hartshone's, and did the Busy Theme using his instruments. it would've been something like this.
3/14
while production started this year, this was planned since April 2024! here's a (very bad) concept for an intro, that would eventually be reused to be the final intro seen on the videos lol
song was done by me but eventually was discarded as well
2/14
even though it's another whole project, originally, an episode was meant to come before the project was released just so the channel wouldn't be dead for a whole year and 4 months lmao
it being James' Special Coal, but it was unfinished to make more time for the project
