Thank you to everyone who tuned in for Season 1 of Wooden Railway Travels. The series will be back and better than ever soon when Season 2 kicks off! (Season 2 will also have a much better, more consistent release schedule) And stay tuned for a livestream tomorrow, where I will be commentating on all 13 episodes of the first season!

Wow so real

This is my 500th currently public video! Thank you for your support over the last 8 years!

Thx for unlocking my childhood man 😊😊😊

6:58 ryming convincers brave and bold they are liyers thier lies are old ^_^

5:01 the children look bizarre and terrifing

I have a soft spot for the learning segments. I was absolutely obsessed with them when I was younger, especially the dot to dot segments!

The learning segments are dumb they treat the audience like they don't know who each engine are that's how young the audience is watching this it's so stupid really why you want to make a show for an audience that young that's stupid

I think the thing I liked most about watching a hit era vhs tape with the learning segments, was actually the cgi transitions between episodes. It wasn't repetitive like the original name board transitions could get. I mean I love the og theme but in between every episode is a bit much. The actual learning segments I didn't like of course. When one showed up it was a connect the dots one first, and the second was henry carrying cargo that all started with the letter H I think because one was hats. I didn't even realized it was learning segments they were so dull. I mean obviously I'm a grown man watching Thomas the Tank Engine only in it early years it didn't talk down to children and I believe children can learn easier if you don't treat them like morons

You sound like Sheldon cooper

I just barely subscribed to the channel.

Gordon was the main character, in the RWS at least.

Cringe!!

There were two reasons why the learning segments were added to Thomas; when HiT Entertainment acquired the rights to Thomas in 2002, they wanted the series to be a big hit in the US the way it was from 1989 to 1997, when it aired on PBS as part of the Shining Time Station spin-off. HiT's strategy was to bring Thomas back to PBS so he could once again be a long-running staple of that network. However, like with Shining Time Station before it, PBS wouldn't pick up Thomas unless some changes were made. PBS wanted Thomas to have more educational content to fit their standards and practices, and like before, they wanted Thomas to be a thirty-minute show rather than a five-minute one. The learning segments were added to the show for these reasons, as they were able to provide educational content and extend the show's runtime. Because PBS is not a commercial network, their shows are often padded with extra segments in between episodes that can easily be cut for commercial airtime, should their shows happen to air on commercial networks. Examples of this include the "A Word From Us Kids" segments from Arthur, the Speckle Stories from Clifford the Big Red Dog (2000), and the "Producer Says" segments from The Magic School Bus. IMO, adding the learning segments was a good decision because they helped make Thomas a long-running staple of PBS once again.

I’ll admit they’re nostalgic to look back on but besides the slightly detailed CG models for the time, these are absolutely nothing worth revisiting

The creators COULDN'T make up their mind of what whistle to give emily

How did i miss this

These leaning segments are the reason why I'm a dumbass

There may be a lot of crashes but I aint complaning Edwards the only one that dosent crash

You lost me at "Gordon and James are the exact same character."

Thanks to these learning segments it really gives you an idea what the engines look like without needing to say their name

What makes the hit era good in my opinion is the crashes

I mostly liked the learning segments for the cute cgi models they used sometimes, they are pretty nice and still hold up I think I agree with you, learning segments with little character studies like the Gordon one are really solid and relate to the show, versus the "Does this oval fit in this truck?" I think my top 3 Learning Segments from over the course of the series would be the difference between thomas and stanley, the thomas happy and sad game, and all of the coal dust games that covered a character in coal dust and it kinda feels like guess who, if these were playable as like a minigame collection they'd be way better

3:16 *8

Really a miss opportunity for HIT to use these learning segments for actual railroad safety procedures and knowledge, so it can be ACTUALLY educational and easily digestible for children. A bit like how the classic era is but this time in delves into more of the technical and/or operational side while still being fun. But nooooo, we have to get "nooooo the castle doesn't go on the wooden shed :(((((("

James isn't quite the same as Gordon. He makes lots of jokes and is generally a hypocrite. Gordon is just pompous and proud.

*_Bro those models in the thumbnail gave me memories that seem fake but real at the same time. What have you done to me._*

Looking back: The 3D animated learning segments look really ugly.

I have always liked the look of the 3d learning segments!

Not all dvds are like that

You know I’m just glad that those segments weren’t introduced in Season 6 or 7, cause honestly I don’t think I can take Baldwin narrating the dot to dot or whatever these pointless segments have.

How exactly are the Fun Times with Engines segments even "learning segments"? They're clip shows.

Some of these learning segments still somewhat give me a warm fuzzy feeling while completely stupid I do like some still

The learning segments are an absolute snooze fest, but they did at the very least give us the absolute masterpiece known as “Toby is surprised to see”, so it was all worthwhile in the end

Only two episodes remaining for Season 1! Both of those episodes will release on the same day.

This nneeds more Super Why! Poops.

8 years ago today!!

That was pretty hectic tbh

For me the worst episode is middle engine because arry and Bert doesn’t get punished when they got Percy into trouble and sir topham hatt falsely accuses Percy for going on to the loading ramp when it wasn’t his fault.

FYI this video was filmed months ago lol

The red engine from here isn’t James and neither is the one in The Sad Story of Henry; both are completely separate random engines who we don’t know the names of or what happened to them

1996 face is to small

The 60fps footage goes crazy

Lovely review!! The new camera looks great too!

I forgor💀 to watch this
