I love your style, and I really think it brings the island to life in a way that few other people I've seen can. Just the sheer amount of trains coming in and out, and rolling stock scattered around every yard makes the island look busy and feel like a real railway. I think this story especially embodies the line from Hullo Twins when Sodor was at its peak season , "no sooner had they arrived with one train, then they had to go out again with another." The pacing is really great. It seems slow but theres so much happening, putting you in the shoes of James' monotonous yet overwhelming workload.
I'm a day late but whatever. In BTTF3 the engine used was actually built in 1891, so she must have done some time travelling herself. Luckily I don't think Edward would have that problem.
@@stevemcqwark7061 Thank you so much for your kind feedback Steve, I've enjoyed the opportunity to record narration for such a talented content creator, who's brought my stories to life in such an awesome way!
It's also a reference to a NWR1991 episode where because the china clay trucks couldn't get back at Bill and Ben for banging them, they took it out on Sheffield instead.
Mr Crazy786 it's on the sodor island forum. Just get an account and you'll find 300 plus railway series style e-books. Although, with a rare few exceptions, there aren't any pictures in the stories.
An honour and a real privilege to see one of my favourite ERS stories brought to the visual medium and be so well done, and equally, so well received. Love it, Aiden, you're going to be one to watch in future.
Idk man, I just love that scene where Edward rushes pst James, and you can see that face of guilt James has when he realizes how he should’ve taken the trucks instead of letting poor Edward go through the trouble. This was a fine piece of work. Keep up this cinematic beauty.👍✨
Wow Aiden, I don't know what to say! I completely love the lighting and the part with the lightning, absolutely marvellous! And I love the edits you did also, this was a great video. With great narration!
Our Edward's had many fine moments, really. Personally, I think his finest hour was in ~1965, when he took those passengers home in a storm without siderods and twisted frames. "Battered, weary, but unbeaten..." As I am writing this comment about a day before the video premieres, I can't wait to see what Old Iron will do this time!
You know. BoCo's Tractor Bang amazed me but this was fantastic! The inclusion of The Skateboard Chase from BTTF as outstanding! And cinematography was stupendous! I hope to see more in the future! Great work!
Incredible work as ALWAYS, Just can't wait for the next! Talk about those coaches too, where ever did you get them, there just as immaculate as your railway.
Well done. In fact, you should have James (Boco's replacement) work on Edward's Branchline from now on and Boco would take James's trains on the main line from now on.
I don’t know if you guys could notice, but at 4:24 you can see an American looking tender behind the troublesome truck. I love these Easter eggs you put in, very nice!
Simply amazing work on this one, Aiden. The visuals, soundtrack, and everything else in between made for yet another banger! I can’t wait for the rest of the saga. It was simply splendid. Keep it up!
Great work here, Aiden! I noticed a bit more lag here than usual, but that’s nothing to worry about since the sound and visual efforts are so obvious here and work well. I haven’t read this book in a while so it’s actually escaped me as to how excellent Edward is portrayed here and it certainly doesn’t disappoint! Then again Ryan is a fantastic writer all round so I shouldn’t be surprised :D
Great episode. I thought I was in for it again when I heard Watership Down again but you redeemed it with the score from Basil the Great Mouse Detective and Back to the Future.
Ahh, I always love a good RWS-esque story. Great job Aiden, once again, you've managed to make these adaptions incredibly brilliant through the visuals and the music. One thing that I've always enjoyed about your videos that adds a nice flare to it is your use of jazz tracks from multiple different orchestras and movies, I did manage to catch a bit of Back to the Future being used in the chase scene. Edward's Essential Experience is one of my favourite stories from this ERS book, and I love what you've done with it here. Through time and care, you make these stories come to life in brilliant ways that I most certainly couldn't do on my own! I'm also very happy to see that there's no more lag like in the last video, not like it could deter me from how good this is. It's an honor to see high-quality Trainz content like this, especially in the current times. Keep it up Aiden, and continue to bring out the best in you through every upload!
This is so much better than the new series and just as good, if not better, then the classic series, because of the dramatic animation and the passion of the narrator. I absolutely love this and I’m a grown man now!!!
once again great job, you were ab;le to do visuals with trainz which i thought were impossible and i loved the cinematic feel of the video, keep up the good work :p
@@rhydyronen, if you would like to see Richard, you could see Carson's videos and ask him if you could find where to download Richard from, and then download Richard and add him into your videos and have Jake (KnapfordHarbour) be Richard in your stories where he is the main engine. Think of it, you would be popular to have Richard in your stories.
@@rhydyronen Also I've been watching your channel for a few months and I must say you've done some amazing work! keep it up :D really brings back some good memories when I was a kid :D
This is good story. I really love Edward's clever thinking with the tricky freight cars. However, Edward should've been more like Thomas in Trust Thomas when it came to James apologizing for his complaining.
Very well done. The narration was clean, the subtle camera movements were well executed, and the runaway was staged and edited superbly. My only criticism is that I wouldn't have used the Back to the Future Theme during the runaway scene, as it's a bit too iconic and makes me expect to see a DeLorean show up. It's the equivalent of the Star Wars theme in that it can take the audience out of a moment and remind them of where the music came from originally. Otherwise, your musical selections were excellent and set the mood. Great job!
This was written back in 2003, we acknowledge the events that occurred in the canon RS 42 in our timeline when they happen from around 2011 onwards, but this is set in 1996.
I have to say this is great! The level of detail and the camera shots really hold true to what the original model series had! I have a question though, who made these new troublesome truck models? I know they haven't been released yet but where could I find them when they are? Thanks!
This was great! Can someone give me a link to the story Old King Coal where a rude coal truck got ripped in two, please? And will there be an episode about Richard (one of Carson Marenka's trains)? Finally at 1:20, why's there a derailed scrap truck?
2:40 “Oh look, it’s a new tank engine! Oh I’m sorry James, I didn’t realize it was you!”
You captured Awdry’s style of humor in the RWS perfectly
So well made. Expertly done! Ryan's range as all the characters and enthusiasm for each one was also terrific.
Matt, you know I think the world of you, and feedback like that means a lot to me.

Edward was running at 88 mph and traveled back to the year 1885.

At 3:05 James legit sounds like Johnny Vegas...
Also that back to the future 3 music is amazing...
Now that is definitely an episode that deserves to be in the TV series. James learning a lot on branch lines :) .
Same
I learnt quite a bit too
Heeey thats preetty gooood
And to think James once told Gordon "Trucks will be trucks."
This is David Mitton directing right here!!!🔥📹
Old irons finest moment since the 50s
True

@Tim Jones my favorite railway series character.
Back in edwards day he could go fast but yeah its the year 1936 and hes slow
Once again Edward has saved the day thanks to his wisdom and expertise over the years.
Oh yeah. That, I am amazed at.
Also can I say that Ryan is an amazing narrator? He puts his all into these voices and the emotion is just the chef’s kiss.
Ryan is very good at capturing each character, one of the best!

Already love Edward's Essential Experience 💙
I really like it. Ahh Edward, You're my favorite engine and really useful too.
Amazing and Impressive Episode! Edward really did a great job stopping the trucks!
This is amazing, I’m glad that the ERS is being shown like this

This is an authentic cinematographic piece
Loved this so much! And loved the BTTF theme
Back to the Future music?
Well, actually, this was a good choice.... This makes the Scene dramatic 👍🏻

Nice catch! Could it be one of Henry's six tenders?..
Or it could be a secret seventh!
It's an LNER 8 wheel tender. Same as you see behind Flying Scotsman or Mallard.
Carson made me watch this. And it was worth it.
Your work will never seem to amaze me; brings me back to watching the classic era as a kid!
Has a feeling of Season 3. I could see the set dressing by David Mitton in this series.

Very nice with the Back to The Future music.
One truck felt like he would vomit at a fast speed, and vomited when Edward stopped in time.
