fun fact: you know the ticking noise in the song the represents the chains for YEARS I thought those were sound effects until a youtuber said they were a part of the song then I checked and was amazed
1:00 As a kid, this theme always left me tense. I can remember being on the edge of my seat watching those old vhs when I was like... 5 xD thanks for the nostalgia man.
Its funny how the crane sounds are incorporated so well into the track. I've never been 100% sure if that was intentional. But it works so well, I cant imagine the track without it.
Hurry hurry hurry puffed Thomas. He wasn’t pretending to be like Gordon. This time he meant it. Bother those trucks and their tricks, I hope James isn’t hurt.
Thomas was coupled on, and off they went. Thomas worked his hardest. "Hurry hurry hurry!" puffed Thomas. He wasn't pretending to be Gordon. He really meant it. "Bother those freight cars and their tricks! I hope poor James isn't hurt."
I loved how the clicking sound effect went with the machine parts moving as James was put back onto the track and the music showed you the seriousness of the situation.
0:37 "Hurry, hurry, hurry!" He puffed. He wasn't pretending to be like Gordon, he really meant it. "Bother those trucks and their tricks! I hope poor James isn't hurt."
James' driver and fireman were feeling him all over, to see if he was hurt. "Nevermind, James," they said. "It was those silly freight cars and your old wooden brakes that caused the accident." Thomas pushed the breakdown train alongside, then he pulled away the unhurt freight cars. "Oh dear, Oh dear," they groaned! "Serves you right, serves you right," puffed Thomas!
@@christophercarey3232 You mean, "Never mind, James," they said. "It wasn't your fault. It was those wooden breaks they gave you. We always said they were no good."
I don't remember the episodes specifically but man oh man do I remember vividly this music. I never realized how amazing this score was and influential for me as a kid, that I remember so much of it.
I’ll never forget the episode with James. Seeing Thomas rewarded with his iconic branch line of Annie and Clearable will never not be one of my favourite moments in the series.
2:14 But that evening, they lifted Gordon and made a road of sleepers under his wheels to keep him from the mud. Strong ropes were fastened to his back end and James and Henry, pulling hard, managed to bring him to safety.
I don't know why, but apart from the title theme, this is the only bit of music I can clearly recall from the series even after more than 20 years. I had access to Cartoon Network on analog satellite until October of 1999 when it became encrypted and have never seen TtTE until UA-cam became a thing, and even only now it has occured to me to try to find this theme. OMG, it brought me back my careless childhood. Thanks!

I'm going to burst!" 2:00 It was a lot harder than they all thought, but at last, Thomas was free. 2:14 That evening, they lifted Gordon and made a road of sleepers under his wheels to keep him from the mud.

I know, it’s awesome. That’s why I love this score so much. I would love to see the breakdown train song scored classically, especially the second version.
"steady now" Said a workman "you've almost got him just a little more".Soon James was back on the rails but his brakes were destroyed from the fire and his coupling to his tender was broken.
I'm not gonna lie this theme song scared me a bit as a kid especially when I was alone in places. It was pretty creepy especially when they showed Gordon getting rescued out the ditch it was just so dark and somewhat intense. 😬😬
"HELP! HELP!" Shouted a voice in a Texan Accent. The voice came from a fox in a silver Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita that was out of control. The fox's Name Was Gideon Grey, and he was frightened. The Koenigsegg's brakes were on fire. "They're pushing me, they're pushing me." He panted. "I Can't Stop! HELP! HELP!" Poor Gideon Disappeared. Soon came the alarm. "Gideon is off the line. Cranes, Quickly!"
1:01 "Pull! Push! Backwards! Forwards! Oy! Ohhh!", the trucks groaned. "We can't! We won't!" Duck watched with interest. Diesel lost patience. "Rrrrr! Grrr!", he roared, and gave a great heave. The trucks jerked forward. "Ohh! Ohh!", they screamed. "We can't! We won't!" Some of their brakes snapped, and the gear jammed in the sleepers. "Rrrrr! Grrr! Hrrrr!" "Ho-ho-ho!", chuckled Duck. Diesel recovered and tried to push the trucks backwards, but they wouldn't move.

1:31 just a quick question here... if an engine got fish in it's boiler, would it actually be in danger of exploding? _(apparently, yes.... thomas and his entire crew were in lethal danger, and this theme didn't choose to sugarcoat it!)_

Oh wow, thanks for sharing that info
Yeah, and that hammer sound in the breakdown train theme reminds me of something getting repaired, which is a really clever way for sounddesigning!
I also notice in the ones that have a locomotive moving in them there is a chuffing noise
its both

It def is, becayse in situations where they don't use the Breakdown Crane/Winch they use the Steam noises
"James is off the line The breakdown Train Quickly!!"
Yes indeed

It also gives off that timing feeling as well give how old the show is at this point

Always loved the sense of ‘urgency’ this and variants of this theme brought to the series - you’ve caught them perfectly here!
I’ll never forget the episode with James. Seeing Thomas rewarded with his iconic branch line of Annie and Clearable will never not be one of my favourite moments in the series.
clearable
These are the most faithful recreations I’ve ever heard, bang on from season 1

I love the Breakdown Train theme as my childhood memories music!
“They attached strong ropes to the two engines”
This is incredibly well made, and perfectly captures the feeling of a crane slowly lifting something heavy!
I don't know why, but apart from the title theme, this is the only bit of music I can clearly recall from the series even after more than 20 years.

Thanks for the timestamps!
Thomas Breakdown theme is one of my personal favorites but the one with Diesel is the best, imo.
This is probably my favorite season 1 theme. Now I can hear it in high quality!
Not going to lie while listening to this
I felt the nostalga flowing back
It's crazy how many different variants this theme has!
Love this! Always made for the crucial moment! The climatic finale of the problem being solved!
??? : This is the original "O" Face.
GWR studios?
0:30 Insert Edward's theme here* "I've done it! I've done it! I've Done it!
There are two types of engines on Sodor;
Those who can’t, and those who can!
I'm gonna be honest it almost sounds EXACTLY like the original.
It's Pure Genius

1:31 Checking the tanks
2:00 Pulling Thomas from the mine

These all sound great! My favorite variation has to be when James is put back in the rails.
I really love the Breakdown Train theme. It's one of my favourites song in the series.
I'm loving these updated versions of your themes.
Great Theme
Finally this got updated :D
"Breakdown Train" would be a pretty good name for a Thomas-themed metalcore band I reckon
Always loved this music.
2:14 will always be the most memorable for me
“Bother those trucks/freight cars and their tricks! I hope poor James isn’t hurt!”
-Thomas
Isn't it crazy how the whole soundtrack contains classical elements combined with analogue synths and drum computers?
I know, it’s awesome. That’s why I love this score so much. I would love to see the breakdown train song scored classically, especially the second version.
@@niamh5541 it reminds me so much of some of jean jacques perrey music

2nd and I was just watched your other breakdown theme
2:59 "late that night Gordon crawled home, the sadder and wiser engine."
I love the rescue theme, specifically the one that played in down the mine
This song just hit different
I'm not gonna lie this theme song scared me a bit as a kid especially when I was alone in places. It was pretty creepy especially when they showed Gordon getting rescued out the ditch it was just so dark and somewhat intense. 😬😬
These are all from series 1? Kinda crazy mike and Junior would make so many variations of the same theme, but I’m very glad they did.
1:31 "I've got such a pain! I've got such a pain!" Thomas hissed.
1:02 the song when Diesel tried taking trucks from a siting and Duck gave his infamous smile
0:59 something about this version used to give me the creeps whenever I listened to it, to this day idk why
They left the broken cars then with two cranes they put James back on the rails.
Backwards! Forwards!

Amazing love it. My two year old hums this song during the day.

good on you S.A Music you've done it again
I just ordered 2 250 ton cranes for my layout and this will be their theme when I have to clear accidents
Thomas' Breakdown Theme sorta gives me horror vibes and sounds ominous for some reason
"Judy" and "Jerome" are holding James seperatelyy from his tender even though in TBA they were holding him with the tender.
I like how low pitch and distorted some of these are.
"Runaway theme extended" next?
Go steady! The van is breaking!
