@@Calebtrainthe thing that is weird about the making is that it looks like a scene from Thomas and the magic railroad. And even James does not have the number 5 on his tender. But good job still.
@@Calebtrain What crazy about it is that this is like a recreation of a scene from "The Adventure Begins", which has James in his black livery, and Thomas chasing after James. Imagine the entirety of The Adventure Begins was the Movie we had back in the 90s, but done in this style.
This was spectacular. The sets and the way the shots flowed together was expertly done. I also love how the scene was rewritten and performed. James asking if his brakes were still on fire in the field was great. My only suggestion? I think Thomas should have run over a random, untouched branch on the line that somehow did not get completely decimated by James and his trucks in any way.
Woah! The action never stops! The shots you filmed for this runaway and crash is absolutely fantastic. Also, I really like you combined both Tidmouth Sheds and the yard with the coal hopper as one set. Makes it more like a real yard.
You can tell Edward gives off older sibling vibes. Their dialogue feels so authentic, it's such a big difference from how they act in a children's tv show.
This was so spectacularly done! Especially the voices for them, felt so genuine I loved this! You've come so far in making these videos Caleb. I'm proud of you man :)
Glad that replay button hasn’t broken yet… 🥰 The colour grading on this is so comforting. I don’t think anyone has actually graded their model footage according to TATMR before ❤
It’s a really cozy look I think that I’m sad we never saw more of in a more railway-centric vision (with, y’know, people lol) So happy you appreciated it ^^
Wow. Just wow. This is so stunning! The sets, the lighting, the smoke, the fire, the camera work the MODELS! This is amazing! Truly can't wait to see what else you've got in store!
I can’t be the only one who was getting T&TMR vibes from this! This video is so cinematic! It’s exactly how I’d pictured ‘The Adventure Begins’ would be like if it was filmed with models! Well done Caleb! Hope you one day make a series in this format, as well as use the same VAs, they literally fit the roles of the engines perfectly in my opinion!
This is impressive! I really wish the actual series had this quality of production. You can actually feel the tension in this scene leading up to the series-3 style cinematic masterpiece of a wreck. In some shots, you can even see the realistic grime and weathering on the locomotives and rolling stock.
Out of this world! The crisp look of the models and sets with realistic weathering, along with outstanding camera work really made me feel like this was a world I could step into. I've always been a huge fan of the model era faces too, so that certainly contributed to the impression. What's more, I loved the voices for each character, and while expressive, no statement was phrased in an inorganically flamboyant manner. Bravo!
Thanks a ton dude--yeah the model faces just have so much character to them--every expression is so distinct. I'm really glad this was immersive for you, that was absolutely the goal!
This…was…fantastic! Absolutely superb voice acting, stellar sets, powerful sounds, and an incredible take on the scene. Wonderful job to everyone involved!
And it did not dissapoint! This was absolutely fantastic! The dialogue, the modelwork, the voice acting, the choreography, it all feels like something out of a big budget movie! This may even be better than the adventure begins version! (P.S Hopefully the black James model didn't get any major damage!)
this absolutely slaps dude, the visual direction of this feels like a brand new era of calebtrain and the VOICE ACTING?? spectacular. absolute treat to see all the models from your build videos doing what they were meant for :)
The models wouldn't be complete without parts you've made--thanks for making all of those available to use, it's talents like yours that this fandom runs on.
It's pretty uncanny how well made this is! Some shots seemed straight outta the show! The faces and set design and lighting really sold it! Great work!
Many thanks! The faces are 50% of the models honestly, being able to use accurate sculpts by talented makers like Rex and Andrew has made all the difference.
Goodness, what a way to celebrate your YT anniversary. Goes without saying the shots were amazing, as were the set pieces, but a particular element I thought stood out is the dialogue compared to the original, what with Thomas announcing he has to at least try to catch up. Lovely little detail of the fact he technically suceeded for a moment, only to have the coupling break on him before getting a chance to do something, that in particular couldve occured in TAB itself No doubt coming back to rewatch this for sure, I imagine it'll easily have over 10K views before end of day Edit: Christ its not even 10 hours old and already at 10K, well earned though
Thanks so much man--I'm really glad you liked the dialogue, it was a lot of fun figuring out how to reimagine it. Thanks as well for going for the rewatch haha, I must have seen 100 various iterations of this already making it, so it's nice that it's worth more than one play! :)
My goodness Caleb! This is one way to celebrate your anniversary and I mean, so epic!! Your models and layouts have come a very long way and look how well you've improved! Very well done on the video and excellent work! ^^
This is one of the best Thomas fan videos, the models are great, the camera work, the music and the color grading makes the video golden! Well done Caleb!
Incredible in every detail and choice of inflections. I like how you chose to play it straight with the liberties; really adds weight to the gravity of the situation. Regards, Samuel Farris.
Not gonna lie, these models and the layout is actually a *masterpiece!* Please, see if you can do the entire season 1. The voices makes it feel so much more alive!
I would rather watch this than the adventure begins. This just feels so alive, like Thomas and Edwards conversation is like a real one. When Thomas says "you get closer! ", it feels like it was pulled straight from season 2. You did a very good job on this and i know you put a lot of hard work into this. And i enjoyed it. 🙂
If they ever rebooted the series back to using models again, I’d seriously want you to be at the helm. You bring such a creative charm to this already imaginative series, and in a way that feels suitable for both children and adults. Fantastic stuff you’re putting out
That was AMAZING! By far one of the coolest bits of model Thomas stuff I've seen since the original series. The amount of detail, the music, the sound effects, all a perfect melting pot. 10/10 wouldn't runaway again!
"Get closer!" "YOU get closer." >:( I love that you really dig into Thomas' personality, that cheeky blue puffball would 110% say that xD Everyone who worked on this did a fantastic job! :D
I love the addition of the alarm to warn about the runaway, made the reveal of the runaway start off with a bang. Brilliant model work and voice work in this project! Really enjoyed it
THIS IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. You even made it better than “The Adventure Begins” & the season one version. One more good video and I’m challenging you and Brenden.
I honestly love how everythings portrayed, the simple energy Edward and Thomas have, because they’re real characters, and the ending, boy if TAB would’ve been model’s, it would’ve looked identical or not up to this perfection
I agree, even something as simple as towards the end where Thomas is on his branchline and enters a tunnel and when he comes out the other end, the scene had transitioned to the models, Thomas stops at the station and the original theme music plays the credits out.
I love how this just isn't a remake of Adventure Begins and adds new material. I also love the foreshadowing with Edward and Thomas talking about a race. I do wish you had added a line at the end about Thomas saying he was going to get help because it does feel slightly awkward. Other than that, everything was awesome. The modelwork and sets were top quality and the voice acting was amazing, even if Edward's no sounded kinda off. Great work man! Hope to see more!
Literally the most cinematic model video I've ever seen! This is absolute perfection it feels like you pulled every model from the screen and were making a movie!
@Calebtrain no problemo :D agreed! Cinematic model content is always a joy to watch so I certainly wish there was more on UA-cam. I love what we do have though
Oh my God, this is amazing!!! I wonder when the movie is coming! Bro, the acting is so good I can't!!!! In all seriousness, this is an amazing video. It's absolutely well done!
James: Thomas! I can’t stop! Me: I’ll save you! James: say what? Me: [STOPS JAMES] Thomas: phew! Thanks for saving him! Me: my good time! Up up up and away!
While maybe unintentional, I like the little detail of Scruffy being apart of the train. The idea that he's been causing trouble since the very start makes sense.
It still boggles my mind that this is using OO models, to be able to make models and sets that look this good at such a small scale still amazes me! Incredible stuff!!💙✨
The sets, the dialogue, the very impressive camera shots that give it life, everything about this is perfect!
I'm really happy you enjoyed it! Thanks! :)

Thank you! Yeah, it makes sense to me to have one there :)
"*sigh* i hope You really are fast..."
Oh boy, the delivery of the lines plus of course, visuals...
Magnificent. Brings me back to 2016. Good show!
He did a great job with that line delivery!
You can tell Edward gives off older sibling vibes. Their dialogue feels so authentic, it's such a big difference from how they act in a children's tv show.
Many thanks, I'm glad you like this interpretation! I wish we'd had more down to earth moments with them in the show.

@@Calebtrain Who are the voice actors?
Reminds me of Ten Cents and Hercules in TUGS😁
おははさはなははへは😍😊@@Calebtrain

Stellar work mate! It feels like The Adventure Begins but if it was made in 2000 instead of Thomas And The Magic Railroad.
Awesome, glad you enjoyed :)
Everything it so good, the lighting the site’s and the shots make it looks very real indeed well done Caleb!
Thanks a ton! :D
Wow. Just wow. This is so stunning! The sets, the lighting, the smoke, the fire, the camera work the MODELS! This is amazing! Truly can't wait to see what else you've got in store!
Thanks so much Matt--there's more on the way! :D
I love how natural Edward and Thomas’s conversation is and I like how the voices were done too
Man this is stupid impressive! The set design, camera shots, all just amazingly well done! Fantastic work here, guys! 👏💙✨
Thanks so much! The VA's really helped elevate this!
I can’t be the only one who was getting T&TMR vibes from this! This video is so cinematic! It’s exactly how I’d pictured ‘The Adventure Begins’ would be like if it was filmed with models! Well done Caleb! Hope you one day make a series in this format, as well as use the same VAs, they literally fit the roles of the engines perfectly in my opinion!
I'd definitely like to have them reprise the roles for a longer project. Stay tuned :)
I get tatmr vibes from this to
Yoooo! This looks like it came straight out of the TV series! Great work, Caleb! 👍
Thanks so much!
No, that's a description of Project Tiger Moth.
Calebtrain's work is OO gauge Magic Railroad aesthetic, in all the right ways.
This is impressive! I really wish the actual series had this quality of production. You can actually feel the tension in this scene leading up to the series-3 style cinematic masterpiece of a wreck. In some shots, you can even see the realistic grime and weathering on the locomotives and rolling stock.
Not season 3 tatmr
My guy the model work is amazing in this!
Cheers man! :D
0:31 DANG THE CAMERA MOVEMENT!😊❤
Dang, I didn't think the new Thomas movie would look THIS good.
I am sorry. Mattel is not doing the model stuff. Though they should go back to models.
If they used actual models I think I'd cry

Same
The episode should of looked like this

Thanks so much--I think the VAs really did great too!
I love the audio work! Very well done with the depth!
Amazing! This was incredible ,you should do more of this!
Man it’s like Tatmr, TAB, Wilbert’s books, the TV Series, and Trampy’s movies all rolled into one! Well done Caleb!
Much appreciated! Yeah there's definitely elements of all of those in here, trying to make something fresh but familiar :)
This is so good man, this feels like the cinematic quality we needed in 2000 for a Thomas Movie, it would’ve been peak. Fantastic stuff.
Many thanks :) It'd be interesting to see what a TATMR with more people and railway elements would have looked like!
Dang this hits hard! I SOOO MUCH LOVE THIS!!!! YOU DID SUCH A AMAZING JOB WITH THIS!! 👍👍👍👍👍
This video is awesome, the sets, the camera movements and the models are just awesome!
Wow, this is incredible. Amazing work!
Thanks so much!
This…was…fantastic! Absolutely superb voice acting, stellar sets, powerful sounds, and an incredible take on the scene. Wonderful job to everyone involved!
It truly takes a village--having extra support from my OG buddy Jacob really made filming much easier!
And it did not dissapoint! This was absolutely fantastic!
The dialogue, the modelwork, the voice acting, the choreography, it all feels like something out of a big budget movie! This may even be better than the adventure begins version! (P.S Hopefully the black James model didn't get any major damage!)
Black James is thankfully alright! I used a Bachmann running board for the actual crash, since it's more durable. :)
This was a cinematic masterpiece. The models, sets, the cinematography was just incredible 👍👍 great work Caleb 👍👍
Thanks a ton--I'm glad you liked the cinematic vibe!
That was awesome! I can't wait to see what else you do with these models!

That looks like a Pilot of The Adventure Begins back in 2001. Great job!
Thank you!
I really like your new style of filming! You can tell it was done by an experienced pro!
Holy...this is just beautiful!
From the visuals to the voices this truly is a masterpiece!
The voice cast was really fun to work with :)

Incredible in every detail and choice of inflections. I like how you chose to play it straight with the liberties; really adds weight to the gravity of the situation. Regards, Samuel Farris.
Playing it straight was absolutely the goal--a runaway train like that would be pretty serious (and on fire, no less!)!
Holy moley this was amazing! The camera shots, the voice acting and the usage of Thomas Reorchestrated, just absolutely stellar work! 👌
The Thomas Reorchestrated themes go hard!
This was just absolutely fantastically well done. Nice adding of the orchestrated themes. Very nice choice! On the whole, very well done!
Many thanks! I loved UpsideNow's Thomas Reorchestrated themes, so was very excited to use it for this.
Not gonna lie, these models and the layout is actually a *masterpiece!* Please, see if you can do the entire season 1. The voices makes it feel so much more alive!

When Thomas says "you get closer! ", it feels like it was pulled straight from season 2. You did a very good job on this and i know you put a lot of hard work into this. And i enjoyed it. 🙂
That little “You come closer!” added so much to this that I feel like The Adventure Begins lost in its softer, clumsier take on Thomas.
It's probably my favorite moment -- so happy to hear you liked it!
Literally mind blowing
Means a ton, man!
I AM ONLY 51 SECONDS IN AND I HAVE ABSOLUTE GOOSEBUMPS, CALEB YOU ARE A CREDIT TO THE COMMUNITY!

Challenging us to what? :0
You’ll see…
This feels like MOVIE quality. Hell, the lighting of the engines and set looks straight out of TATMR.
best HO or OO remake i have ever seen,gives off so much tatmr vibes
outstanding work!
Many thanks--can't lie that TATMR is a big inspiration!
I think this is the 23rd time I have watched this! This is a very very quality video I hope to see more like this! Keep up the good work!
I honestly love how everythings portrayed, the simple energy Edward and Thomas have, because they’re real characters, and the ending, boy if TAB would’ve been model’s, it would’ve looked identical or not up to this perfection
TAB with models would be amazing!
I agree, even something as simple as towards the end where Thomas is on his branchline and enters a tunnel and when he comes out the other end, the scene had transitioned to the models, Thomas stops at the station and the original theme music plays the credits out.
@@Calebtrainwhat he means as real characters
How it would be if the energy of thomas and edward feel like fake characters
“You come closer”
That killed me 🤣
That was my favorite moment to write :)
God I'd love to see more model stuff from you. This was exhilarating to watch. The model series James mixed with the black livery was a treat too
There will be more model stuff coming! :)
I love how this just isn't a remake of Adventure Begins and adds new material. I also love the foreshadowing with Edward and Thomas talking about a race.

Dude, major props to the voicework on James. Dude sounded scared out of his mind
holy crap. you made the smaller scale models look fantastic on screen! i know thats a hard things to do but you absolutely nailed it.
It's always a challenge, but I'm glad the efforts to make them look bigger are appreciated :)
-get closer!
-YOU get closer!
Man thomas got his classic personality back lmfao
This was amazing dude! Great work! Please make more!
Will do!
This was a nice little video. The models look pretty good, and the crash was pretty good as well. And the voice cast fits as well. Great job.

You did a great job with this! I love how it looks like Magic Railroad!
I love a lot of things about the TATMR aesthetic!
That was Incredible You already did a remake of James’ runaway and you made it even better
Practice makes progress!
While maybe unintentional, I like the little detail of Scruffy being apart of the train. The idea that he's been causing trouble since the very start makes sense.
I like to think he was always around. It was a conscious choice to have him appear--even had to refurb him!
Amazing video man. Love your sets 🔥
Many thanks! :D
If I could describe this in a meme, it would be
"It was Perfect. Perfect, down to the last minute detail."

That was amazing caleb great job!!!
Many thanks Chandler! :D
give this guy an award. this is a thriller for sure.
awesome work caleb the voice cast was amazing
