    Sounds like something from British Railways during the 1950s and 1960s. Especially when diesel locomotives arrived to work on British Railways but most of the steam locomotive crews dislike the “highly sprung” diesel locomotives whereas the diesel locomotive crews often boasted “how the diesel locomotives are special than steam locomotives”.

    A little trivia: The first Thomas video I ever bought was Calling All Engines on DVD. A little after, I got James and the Red Balloon, Percy's Chocolate Crunch, and many others. Sometimes my Dad would come home from work with Chick-Fil-A for us, and sometimes a video or 2. I remember one time he came home with the Thomas videos, "Come Ride The Rails", and "Track Stars".

  • @greatwesternproductions2857

    Calling All Engines was a missed opportunity, in my opinion. The songs and story idea was brilliant but then they added those learning segments in which really bugged me when I was younger. We did get to see old favourites like Derek, George and Lady which was a plus I suppose. What I will applaud the creators of the movie for is the completion of the introduction of Emily. She started out as a back-stage character, then her roles were built up and, as time went on, people warmed to her. CAE then eased her nicely into Tidmouth, thus completing the saga. They knew what they were doing - unlike Mattel who just throw a female character in with no build-up whatsoever.
    Fabulous creation as per alway matey, keep up the great work :)

    • @AbrahamBenno
      @AbrahamBenno 3 роки тому +7

      You know what would have been cool? Instead of trying to disregard TATMR as canon by turning Diesel 10 into a “really useful engine”, maybe the steamies take a dislike towards diesels BECAUSE of Diesel 10’s actions. That way there’s an actual reason for the steamies-diesels plotline and kids could learn a good lesson about prejudice.

    "Trying to do things better." That is so true with every cover you make, and this one is absolutely epic! Also I got an idea for the next Thomas song cover. Not sure how many times you got asked to make a cover of "The Sounds Song," but I thought I'd politely throw that out there in case you decide to cover that one next, or at some point soon. Anyway, bravo Double H (My nickname for you, Headmaster Hastings.), and keep it up! You're so on the track to many Thomas fans' hearts!

    I know people often make fun of Thomas saying it promotes 'racism.' Unfortunately, it was the later seasons of the classic era that started this rivalry of steamies vs diesels. In the RWS the steamies were only trying to show that they could still be useful in an era that was slowly turning to diesel. The engines had no problem with diesels like Boco or Bear who weren't arrogant and accepted the steamies as still really useful.

I looked him up and it was the same diesel from Double Teething Troubles, with Bill and Ben. When I first saw him, I didn't know what his name was. But when I looked him up, I saw his name was Derek. He seems like a friendly diesel. Just like Rusty, Boco, Mavis, and Daisy. Oh and Salty too.
