I'd forgotten how I'd added the dreaded 'three strikes' formula to this when I wrote it, not that anyone seems to have commented yet - watch the floodgates of hate open now :P You did an awesome job George, the film work was splendid, the SFX incredibly natural, it was a pleasure to voice in this!
A+ work here, mate! The film-work fits perfectly with the simple yet entertaining flow of the story. I really love the added steam effects, and how realistic the whole thing is, from the humorous script to the camera angles that make the engines seem much larger. Thomas' cheekiness works well throughout it, and the dialogue was very natural. :) Pardon my ramblings, too much awesomeness for me to have a consistent and organized series of thoughts!
I really liked watching this episode as Henry's temper is tested to the limit when the shed master gives him a new footplate crew which leads to a few small accidents. the new driver reminds me a little of Ralf from Oh Dr Beaching.
Sometimes people have to look beyond what's in front of them to discover a great series such as this and regretfully the vast majority doesn't which is why a tv series episode remake (Terrible one's included) can often rake in a lot more views because of the title alone whereas something more original tends to get significantly less views due to fewer people being aware of it's existence.
Loved the humour in that, both in the writing and the visuals. As others have said, it was quite refreshing to have a story based around the crew rather than focusing entirely on the engines. Nicely done!
Fantastic episode George! Very well written by Dan and great work from you filming wise! "Mush, Mush!", with you next episode, I mean, take as long as you need but, not to long.:P
That crew remind me of one that were on Black 5 at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway in October. They weren't THIS bad but still... :P Great episode, really well written and brilliantly filmed
Ah its great to see another episode produced by yourself again. What I really liked was how you really brought out the grumpy old man personality of Henry that he had throughout C. awdry's books. Again, much like Chris below, this was really well filmed and written :)
Excellent work George! About time you made this, eh? Ha ha :P But in all seriousness, you and Dan have both done a lovely job here. Dan wrote a great story and his narration was superb as always, and your adaptation was wonderful! Not only that, but it was certainly nice to have a story about the crew members of the railway. A very enjoyable comedy-type of story indeed, loved it!
i rewatched this episode and i still found it very funny in places where poor Henry's patience is tested when the new driver does something wrong like making the green engine go forwards in stead of going backwords
Ha Ha brilliant; very well done indeed. This shows exactly how important experience can be on railways. TardisRescue has a knack for the comedic moments and both of you really brought this to life; this was a fantastic adaptation of his story. It's a shame that the Thomas range from Hornby is regretfully all but dead now as the Hornby Thomas stuff is perfect for the RWS atmosphere but the faces you added would also have a lot to do with it too :)
The story was ok. I don't get why the Fat Controller would give the driver a second chance. Mind you, I haven't seen drivers have a secondary role in a story since that magazine story with Boco so this was at least a unique experience. Railway series faces and your selection of models go hand in hand.
+Chris “Steam-Powered-Cyborg” O'Shea Thank you, it's nice to still get comments on a video like this. I always like to think of The Fat Controller as being a mild mannered but forgiving individual, someone who can sternly access a problem but offer a kinder solution. To be fair, I think the careers of Sudrian railway drivers have survived much worse!
a very enterestingly writen story that new driver barcking reaminds me of ralth from oh dr beaching a little bit lets hope he leant how to handel a tender engine .
It is refreshing to see drivers get their engines into scrapes instead of the engines themselves. Henry's dialogue didn't cease to amuse; the use of 'drat it all' is especially snigger-worthy. I would point out 'disgraceful' is Gordon's shtick but it's not /that/ big a deal all things considered lol If I had one complaint on how Henry was written, it's his refusal to cover for James even after he's reminded of the disadvantaged passengers. Sorry but the way I see it, Henry's a touch better than that and wouldn't leave them disgruntled with an ill impression of the railway. If I can be so honest, tardisrescue's Henry is my least favourite voice of his. He sounds too 'Duke-like' to me if that makes sense, what with the dominant bass in his voice. It's tricky to describe, but I feel that where Henry should sound snooty and high-strung, Dan makes him sound overly aristocratic, almost like a slightly higher-pitched Gordon. All things considered, this installment holds up rather well even nearly 5 years later, and I appreciate the use of BMM music. Jolly good show lads! :P
Thanks for such a lengthy message. 'Bad Driving' is something that feels very far away from my current inclinations, but nonetheless a story that I'm proud of, and it makes me very happy that people still like to watch it. Very much appreciated.
5:35 "To show I was capable...."
"Well you obviously aren't, are yah?!"
I was drinking tea and nearly choked when I heard that part XD

Yeah, well you made it work :p
Atleast its not as bad as the miller type three strikes

lol, so good to see a story where the Drivers are blamed and not the engines.
Well I never! This was really an impressive work you have just done!
Plus the ending was priceless too! xD
“you’re just lazy” 😂😂😂
How come you aren't more popular? This was good. It's well written, well voice-acted, and it looks amazing. The premise was a lot different, as well.

Damocles178 Thumbs up to you. :D
cjkelley333 Luckily SodorsNWRsteam found me first and promoted me :D
Loved the humour in that, both in the writing and the visuals. As others have said, it was quite refreshing to have a story based around the crew rather than focusing entirely on the engines.
Nicely done!
Loved STH voice acting!
Brilliant work, the pair of you!
Fantastic episode George! Very well written by Dan and great work from you filming wise! "Mush, Mush!", with you next episode, I mean, take as long as you need but, not to long.:P
Boy, do I miss the NWR stories that you made. This is truly something from older fans that I miss.
This has got to be the 1st very vain moment on the "Henry's vain moments" list. Some of the being when he went on strike.
As you said you've used the three strikes formula but wow this is so much better written than what Sharon miller tried
That crew remind me of one that were on Black 5 at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway in October. They weren't THIS bad but still... :P
Great episode, really well written and brilliantly filmed
Chris Tomson couldn't agree more
Ah its great to see another episode produced by yourself again.

Well, I'd be annoyed if I'd been driven by someone on his first day on the railway
I give this a 10/10
are we gonna talk about how different rws henry is compared to the tvs
Ha Ha brilliant; very well done indeed. This shows exactly how important experience can be on railways.

Sodor Transportation Division reminds you: routes are countless, safety is foremost, with unregulated driving, your loved ones might end up in tears.
I am speechless... George you are an awesome person. Don't stop with this. EVER.
You would have thought that it was Gordon the way Henry kept moaning 😂
Found a goof: at 1:34 James is shunting coal wagons, but it was said he was held up by signal failure
+PixelCrafterz Nicely spotted, never realized that before!
+SodorsNWRsteam actually saw it a few weeks ago, but I thought someone else had spotted it
An amazing story! A+
Wow this amazing. it's like something right out of the rws books
yet another fantastic episode, splendid job
I crashed a train in Derail Valley while watching this.
Henry's replacment crew are so incompetent, oh dear

Christopher O'Shea this is so funny
henry in the rws is completely different to tvs henry
Nice work! I like how there was barely any narration and your use of visual comedy and such to drive the plot.
I can't wait for more :)
railway series books faces ha awesome
Fabulous Episode!
Your best episode yet. :)
Hey those RWS faces look awesome where did you get the faces from so I can make my own engines look like them
LOL the ending theme is from bottom
Lucky everyone was hurt and the all had to go to a hospital 🏥
Yep defintly evil
That's the funniest story you've ever made!
SodorsNWRsteam
No problem. That driver made me want to laugh!
Facebook link please. Awesome stuff. Great voice acting and writing.
My apologize. A funny episode all the same. LOL with Henry, who comes off very sarcastically half the time here.
a very enterestingly writen story that new driver barcking reaminds me of ralth from oh dr beaching a little bit lets hope he leant how to handel a tender engine .
Oh, sorry about that.
you, sir just got a subscriber
+Edward the favorite blue engine Thank you!

Can you do tenders for Henry next?
What was the name of the music at 6:40?
Lol
