- After Brad shows off a new trick in the yard the other engines try to trip him up.
This video took well over a year to complete, and would not have been possible without the help and time given from friends and colleagues across the fandom/community. Thank you all for all your help and support! I hope you enjoy!
[A correction at 16:40 -- The writing credits list myself and Dan as the writers. Dan did not actually write this story with me, but it felt appropriate to include him since we were writing Gravy Train at the time. :)]

I love how mathematically inspired this is. The math itself was not hackneyed and I loved how it reminded me of "counting cards" so to speak. Brad has so much charisma and for someone with a big personality like his he fits into Sodor so well. I have never seen a fan work quite like this. I really enjoyed it. Kudos to Aaron as well. His score was as riveting and unique as this story!
Thank you for your kind words. This was a seriously ambitious project, and I am really humbled that you enjoyed it!
I loved it too. I mean, really- JINTYVISION?! That was the most hilarious moment of the video. Forethought, however, was a cool subject. I like the running gag where they mispronounce it. I also like the bit where jinty says these 2 lines:
"Hey! Yeah!"
"Hey! Oh…"
I never laughed at something more simple. Bravo, and can't wait for more brad in the future.
Bronco is both weird and adorable!
I love the story too, Duck, Jinty and Brad are like actual friends, it's more realistic. And the story/plot is very creative:D
Thanks Matty! That's very awesome of you to say, and I am very glad you found it enjoyable!
Bronco is just so cute! The very first friendly and likeable truck on the island, I think!
Same!
Cute? More like weird. The filler cap on his head is like a hat. And what's even more weird is that he makes creaking noises with his mouth instead of talking a word. What's up with up that?!
Really cute
And so adorable
The Jinty mind control was such a shock well done.
Perfect as usual, Eric. Bronco needs his own ERS book.
I think he'd agree via some sort of squeak or pang. :) Thank you!
Hi Sire I was wondering if I can play as a character in one of your episodes, (if your ok with it & have the time) if not then that's ok Just wondering, Please reply asap! Love the PHENOMENAL VIDEOS!! :D
Mainland Studios
Mainland what does ERS stand for?
Or even a whole story, at least.
Seriously thought Jinty had some telekinetic mind powers for a bit there then it clicked that he was just imagining the truck order lol but seriously Bronco needs a thing all to himself. He's clearly a truck that's been around the island a good few times.
The "imagining the truck order" thing technically is also forethought.
SpudSupreme it was FORCE thought

Bronco is the most rickety and worn down truck i've ever seen the poor fellow he seems like a nice guy i hope he'll be alright. and that truck gig at the end is funny
Bronco's adorable lol, This is absolutely gorgeous Eric! :D
Tru
Thank you! I am very happy that you liked him!
:D
How do I download Brad, Jinty, Bromco & Sodor Castle? I really want to be able to have them in trainz!
Big City Engine You can't they are not for public use.
Love it Eric, this was very nicely made, and the product came out beautifully. Very nice work.
Thanks!
Bronco is so adorable, I felt so bad for him throughout this video.
I remember watching this ages ago, i never thought I found it!
Hope to see Old Bronco again quite a new twist of the old face placement. Poor guy must be old as Edward if he creaks like that just to smile. At least Edward has Crovans Gate to keep him in top nick. Well done everyone loved the story and I love how Brad payed James back.
Hope these fantastic models are public one day. But if not well at least we get to see them in these videos.
brad did the moon walk but rolling his wheals heh clever i like it
i just realized i watched a whole episode with no narration and it made sense well done sireemeye
Thanks!
I find it funny that the American locomotive is a huge showoff, and the British complain about it together. I love it
I used to watch this all the time in 2016, glad to see it's still here
I love this! So well edited! Bronco is just adorable, the voice Actors go so well with the characters played, all in all, a fantastic railway series!
Thank you!
This is brilliant. So many pleasant subtleties in here, the only disappointment is that it took over a year to complete, because I don't want to have to wait that long to see another.
Bronco has an...interesting place for a face.
Also, is Jinty a Jedi?
BNSF1995 use the force
Nah, his brain's just really creative
No he’s telepathic
No, he is Jedi Master Jin'Ty
I think he visualizes where he puts the trucks in his mind, and then shunts them later.
Jesus christ that Branco face!! I don't think any rolling stock or tanker in Thomas related history has ever had a face like that on a rolling stock before!

Aw, everything came out really great Eric - outstanding visuals, lavley music and the woshwshwoshwoswosh of Brad's wheelspins - it's shots like 10:35 that showcase how awesome you do the things you do, I just hope that ARE THOSE TRACKS GONNA BE THERE FOREVER
Cmawn buoy - It's easy it's easy it's easyyyyyy. Thanks for your kind words!
Brad’s whistle is the best hopefully they make a motorized version of him
Of brad
Brad is an original character, they’re not going to make merchandise of him.
Brad has the most epic wheel-slip technique I've ever seen! Lovely story!
Wonderfull visuals! This looks and is brilliantly and beautifully made!
Cheers! Thank you!
no problem man :)
SireEmEye cool animation

Bronco is the cutest damn character I've ever seen! I've never fallen in love with a character so easily.
Every detail is absolutely perfect. Fantastic work!
Thanks for the kind words, Chris! So glad that you enjoyed.
I really want to see an episode with Thomas and Brad. They both work on the same branch line after all.
I like to see how Brad has become a popular character and I love the NWR crest on his tank. These episode-length eps are well made and the look is close to what was in my mind's eye. Feel free to credit me as Martin Clutterbuck, thanks. If you are interested in my original stories about Brad, please let me know.

After Brad shows off a new trick in the yard the other engines try to trip him up.
This video took well over a year to complete, and would not have been possible without the help
Brilliant video. I say that to all who contributed.
Dang about that non-specific cast list though.
All I can guess is that Eric Ryan is Brad and Dan Long is Duck.
So much for forethought, eh Jinty?
This is probably one of the best trainz videos I've ever seen.
What a lovely story! Much better than some of the guff that passes for a Thomas story from the Hit Entertainment people.

Bronco is so cute.
Whooo! I helped to make a thing! So happy to see this completed - everything looks and sounds incredible throughout =D
It all translated marvelously! I am so happy that you enjoyed it. It has been a long time. :)
Have to say this... was nothing short of spectacular! Bronco is very adorable, i'd sure love to see more of him. ^^
Thank you very much!
This was an amazing video, love Brad, love the story! :D
Jadand247 stop pinching
I like How Jinty visualizes where the trucks go before he shunts them, that's how I figure things out! :)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
this must've taken bloody hours. your a heaven worker
oh and thanks for this one
[ 10:49 SFM TOO MUZZ! ]
D'aww, such a charming little story here. Loved it so much :).
Thank you!
This is wonderful, the sets, the animation, the scoring everything! Very well done! :D
It's nice to see Jinty used in fan-made episodes.
He's got Rheneas' face.
I found this adventure marvellously well thought out and very unique. I cannot wait until your next original.
There's a few ideas I'm toying with for another short original, so no pressure on me then! ;)
This is beautiful, I don't know how you do it!
Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed!
Bronco is adorable I want to see him in more of you're videos
I got to 4:00 and I already think that this video deserves a million views. Good work, so far.
Thank you!
I'll admit, when I first saw this video I did not quite get it, but only because I was comparing it avidly to the standard of what had come before in the brand's storytelling and not agreeing with it because it broke from it, much like with Duck. I now fully appreciate the actual effort going into this, and this clearly presents the moment when you had your first perfect video. With that said, I think you missed out the opportunity to give faces to the other tankers so as to back Bronco up - that would have really amplified the moment where the coupling broke away from Duck. Still, you did well, Eric. Samuel F.
So awesome to see this come to fruition. Been a long time coming, i remember when you first thought of this. A lifetime ago haha
Still not fully processed that it is done. I mean it is, but whew. Surreal. I'm so glad you were part of it.
This vid also truly showcases your great skills as well. And furthermore, Joyce.
Excellent work! Great character development too! The ending was hilarious.
Thank you very much!
SireEmEye Your welcome
SireEmEye what happened to bronco after this will we see him ever again
I always loved the way the mouth and eyelids were animated. ^^
I adore the "show, don't tell" approach in this video! It's so cleverly done that I could watch this without the sound and still get the storyline (sorta :P)! Storytelling at its finest here. You deserve a pat on the back, Ciremi. Well done man :)
Thank you very much!
Brad has savant skills
I really hope that you guys do more in the coming months! This is one of my favorite Thomas videos/ stories in quite some time! Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
I can honestly say that all of the time and effort that you put in this really shines through! Very, very excellent work!
Thank you! That is very awesome of you to say. Everyone who helped make this really brought their A-game, and I couldn't be prouder with how it has turned out.
Use the force Jinty, use the force.
Spectacular story! Loved every moment of it. Well done and keep up the good work!
Dude I think the driver knows it's skills 😏
That's so cool how you made their mouths move.
Now this was quite amazing. I never thought I'd see the engines mouths move nor hear the story without a narrator. Jinty's face keeps making me think of Stephen Mulhern for some weird reason. But I liked Brad's forethought, but the accident wasn't expected when I watched it. But Mavis confusing Jinty at the end was funny :).
Thank you!
This is quite the comedy you've got there.
Brad is such a troll I love it! XD
This really was wonderful Eric.
Very well made mate, Loved the camera work as well.
Easily the best one you've made ever! Really loved the end scenes with Jinty (thought that he was using the Force for a minute there, and think the marching music from Disney's take on "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" from "Fantasia" would've been a nice touch there ;) ), and the addition of Old Bronco was really quite interesting; hope we can see more of him in the future. :)
WHERE IS THE VALLEY RAILWAY SERIES?!!
It's been gone for over a year, I hate waiting so much like how long it took sireemeye here to make stuff like this like are you guys Gabe Newell or something?
I loved it all !!! The animations are fantastic I don't know how bard can go back but still his wheels still go forward ?!
beautiful, simply beautiful
Eric you are a natural. Well done :D
This is incredible in every aspect. Well done man!
Many thanks Christian Cordes!
Bronco needs a story where he is the hero. I need to see him happy
youve just got yourself another sub, absolutely brilliant !
I remember thinking that Bronco died in the video when I was a kid.
Very nice Trainz video you made here! I definitely couldn't do anything like this. Fantastic work, and I hope you make many more good videos!
P.S.: Bronco is adorable, and I love how Brad's theme is renditions of "The Star Spangled Banner"! Very clever!
Thank you for your comment! I plan to make another. Everything is more or less shot, but the post-production process moves slowly. I do hope you'll like the next one too!
There should really be a backstory some day about how bronco became bronco.
He seems a bit odd to be put in with no info of him at all (in my opinion.)
There is certainly an interesting backstory behind Bronco, but I think it is more interesting to hear the viewer's theories on what they think happened to him over his many years in service, and why he looks the way he does.
Now that’s what I call the American way that Brad has preformed
this was ahead of its time
Thank you. This comment made my day. I am so happy that you think that.
It really was.
14:18 Trevor is all “Huh...” lol
I just love your video here. I watch it all the time. Awesome job.😊❤
So glad that you are enjoying it. Thank you!
SireEmEye You're very welcome. Hope you get to make more like this. :)
what even is Bronco? :-P
Nicely made man, loved the writing in particular - well done!
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you!
lovely work eric loved this episode :D
Hi SireEmEye I think that you're video is awesome and it's just brilliantly written I really love the way you do the facial expressions you're video really helps me as I can't understand people's emotions as I have autism and your video really helps me thank you so very much and it's totally fantastic and brilliant keep up with the brilliant work
I absolutely love bronco I need to make a model of him.
Old bronco looks like a character you would see in the show Tugs
Wow brad is the coolest engine ever I want a motorized version of brad
I have to say, brilliant animations, but more importantly: WHERE DID YOU GET THE DUCK MODEL!!!
15:30 The Force is with you, Jinty Skywalker XD
Pretty cool, great job.
Jinty has psychic powers!!!! Awesome!
How hard Brad does that wheel slip technique while using forethought?
great video , great effort
JINTY HAS MAGICAL POWERS!!
love it very well done !!
To my opinion Jinty is special because if he picture what the trucks being shunted would look like it wouldn't be messy
Never knew Duck was that petty. Sure Brad was being an arrogant showoff, but that's no reason to deliberately cause an accident where someone could've gotten hurt.
That was what I was thinking. Kinda odd for Duck to be petty but I still really enjoyed the video.
Out of all the characters in this video Bronco is my favorite
This is a very great video, I like the effort you put on this! btw will Bronco have another video about him being the main character?
omfg Bronco's face is so cute omg
Love the videos! I gonna sub for this video! Bye, may I have a picture of Bronco's expressions? I want to try and make a n scale version of him.
You know how to make Trainz crashes look actually good.
10:16 It was at this moment Brad knew, he *peep* ed up.
