  • When an unexpected delay interrupts the market day's return train, the passengers take it upon themselves to make their own way home.
    This is by far my favourite story I've ever written, and I'm glad to finally have it out, well over a year since it was originally conceived. I hope you all enjoy it!
    As per, thank you to all my wonderful friends, subscribers and followers who keep me going with projects like these. My brilliant cast is also to thank in terms of bringing this charming little tale to life at last.

    Can we just appreciate Rusty's adorable verbalised 'Honk honk'?
    Either way, great to see such a fun concept applied here, especially with the passengers taking the spotlight.

    It's a rare thing whenever the human side of Sodor is given the spotlight (especially those that aren't The Fat Controller), and even fewer can make it as endearing as a typical engine's story. Highly impressive in both writing and visuals, it's delightful the whole way through

    This music at the beginning feels very relaxing. Also wow, seeing old methods of railroading being used in the more modern times of railroading. Cool.

      Thank you! Very much inspired by old escapades on the Talyllyn and the Ffestiniog's different uses of gravity..!

    This is what you call a proper fan episode, cause it keeps it within the shows reality and possibilities, yet stepped out of whats been done before! I enjoy the story of the passengers taking the main role and the engines kind of taking a stepback, instead of being damsels and staying stuck at the station, they make their own way! I love the music choice not just being music from the show, and instead incorporating other kinds of music! A true 10/10 episode and i cant fault the story one bit! Keep it up i would love to see more!

      Cheers man, I'm really glad you liked it. And yeah? I wanted to pick a wider selection to fit something that wasn't a story about the engines (music wise).

    This is a very quaint, yet impressive story. Your shots with the narration, and the calming/fitting music give it a very nice feel. The sets are also very nice. Almost feels like an old Tardisrescue model story!
    You've done a stellar job. Easily gained a new sub. I'm surprised I haven't yet :0
