Just to clear any confusion -- 'Express Engines' will be filmed in TVS style. This video takes place in a different universe where the same events unfold, but just in a 'RWS' style. :)
I’m not too bothered about style really I’ve seen castles bases already by the way where did you get the singing bird sound effect from? It’s mostly recognized in the Teletubbies
Stupendous my boys! I think much the same about the message of this; the same young un who indirectly gave everyone Rosie, Fearless Freddie and Jeremy the Jet, because I thought I could give the people-in-charge of the official show new ideas from within my little comfort zone in an intimidating large world. Now, I have an original idea which I hope to share with you all; an engine who may not have the same stamina as all those who've reached Sodor before; she may not be as grand and noble as Castle; she may not be as spontaneously impacting as Carson's Richard; she is not simply a token female like Emily; she is not introduced out of pressure like Nia and Rebecca; but 1669 Teresa, and her owners the Shaw family, are pleased that I wish to tell her story for you all, and how she left her own small mark on the Island. Who is she though? You'll find out soon... Samuel F.
What a nice fellow castle is..! More humble more friendly than SOME mainline engines. I look very much forward to see how his new life treats him. Godspeed you wonderful jolly engine
Getting hyped for the next episode of "Express Engines" and thought I'd check this out. I love how Castle talks about how trying times were the year before the upload of this video. Everyone knows that life was very tough with Covid and all, but here we are now! Dmman33 also does an excellent job with the character
Thank you so much Sodor Castle. School is taking a serious toll on my mental and physical well-being and online classes aren't making it any better. I'm worried about future colleges and my grades are slipping. You really made my day, thank you.
I know exactly how you feel. To get through hard times is never an easy job and no one is expecting you to take it easy. But dude -- you GOT this. Power and push through, you will make it through. Eyes open, head up and get'er done!
By the way sodor Castle thank you for giving me strength to carry on. now I want me to have a job you give me strength to carry on on hard times and try new places and it's all thanks to you to sodor Castle you're my favourite steam engine
Very grateful for the kind feedback. Rhydyronen asked me to write this back before Christmas, and with the ongoing pandemic, it felt right to remind everyone that things will get better again in time. I'm particularly grateful to Michael White for coming on to help with the stage directions and script editing, Dmman33 is a wonderful voice artist for the character going forward and Rhydyronen is going to nurture the character's growth on screen beautifully. We have some great stories coming up, and we cannot wait to share them with you. It's an exciting time for the Extended Railway Series!
I am not looking for any spoilers but are the writers going to explain way the Great western railway named one of their express engines after a Sudric Castle in the first place and if his uniquess and his own Sudric connection saved him in the end and gave him a new life on the NWR? the GWR named one of their Castle class engines after the Norman Castle in my home town of Launceston North Cornwall and one of the name plates are on display in the Local Museum.
is there some room for Meg a Female steam engine Character I created a few years ago in the series? she is a newly built engine and Is a BR standard 4 4-6-0 tender who was built especially for the NWR.
To Sodor Castle, it's 1996. But to us, we're in a completely different timeline removed by 25 years. ...At least that's how I'm seeing it. Either way, our futures' going to be bright. Best of luck to you!
Okay, can I just say how much I love Sodor Castle's voice? It fits him perfectly, and it's one of those voices where you can tell what a character's personality is going to be like just from their voice alone. His voice literally sounds like as if he were introduced in the CGI series. I can see it now, Sodor Castle getting a Flying Scotsman like introduction, with Thomas in awe as he backs down towards the express headed for the mainland and beyond. Whoever did the voice for Sodor Castle did an excellent job; another brilliant video as usual Rhydyronen!
@@dmman33 Something about his enthusiastic and informative tone reminds me of Mr. Perkins. I don't know whether or not that was intentional but I think it works great.
True words have never been spoken. Despite how horrible last year was, I can sense that there will be light at the end of the tunnel as long as we all pull through and shall see it to the very end.
Another Grand Slam with this one,Rhy..... Dig the Message and I'm backing your Work All the way. He looks GREAT! Can't wait for the Content... So Stoked ,Man..... Such a subtle yet Stately class of engine , the Castle Class. And they never get much recognition. The LNER Gresley Greats were icons and rightfully so... but the Castles were just as elegant looking to me . I guess it's dreams of being able to go back to my ancestral homeland country back to Cornwall on one that always made me appreciate and have fondness for the GWR. One can almost mentally project themselves aboard a First class Dining or Lounge car bound for Paddington pulled by one . Arriving in, right on time ...Dead on Midnight. Walking up and presenting the Driver and Fireman and Guard each a little envelope of tip money to grab a good First Class meal fit for King and three gift wrapped bottles of Champagne from the lounge car for them and the Guard as thanks for getting the train in smooth and safe. One can dream I guess..
A beautiful looking video with stellar graphics! I remember last fall I had one of the worst times of my life. I had a car accident after getting into one the year before and feared I would lose my insurance. Then I began to run low on finances and other things happened that just made life seem miserable, and I hit a deep depression. But I knew it wouldn't last forever and soon enough things began to get better within a few weeks. I got another car and I got paid. Things still aren't perfect, but I have no doubt they will get better soon. I watched "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" today and I can say that it has a good message as well similar to this one. It all taught me to think positively no matter what and to have hope, and that bad days are there so we appreciate the good ones even more.
Note to self: Always have a positive attitude no matter what comes your way. It's easy to go through something and decide to give up. Push yourself to the very end and that's when bright times come!
So many thoughts to share! Wow! That cinematography blew me away! Incredible use of camera movement and lighting, and great set design! My word, these RWS-style models look incredible! So much detail, down to the wear and pitting on the wheels! Even puts some DTG TS models to shame! Thank you for this uplifting message. This new year has gotten off to a rough start, but at last there is at least a chance that things might start to get a little better. Lastly, I know he's primarily meant for existing ERS story adaptations, but can I just say I would love to see a special story crossing Sodor Castle with Richard the New Engine from Carson Marenka's Thomas stories?
WOO! I love the nods to various RWS events, and more importantly for me the nice little hint at Sodor Castle’s past that we didn’t find out for a few years.
Some things in life are bad. They can really make you mad. Other things just make swear and curse. When you are chewing on life’s gristle, don’t grumble. Give a whistle and this will help things turn out for the best.
Not gonna lie, hearing that voice come out of Sodor Castle was rather jarring. I kept expecting him to start screaming at Derek XD The nostalgia rush hearing all these classic SIF voices again is really something to behold. And that's to say nothing about the quality of the filmmaking. You lot have come a LONG way since the Original trailer for "The Express Engines" was posted all those years ago.
Absolutely, Positively, STUPENDOUS. This was great to watch and enjoy and I can’t wait to see whats in store. A spark of joy filled my body it was like watching the OG Thomas when I was a kid. Absolutely a great job and here to 2021 being a better year 👍
Umm. I have no words. Speechless. Just woaw idk where to begin. The sound design and editing is absolutely superb, lightning is wonderful, Shots are beautiful and just, the whole video is perfection. Just woaw! Amazingly done!
Rhydyronen, again I must say you and the SiF team are doing wonders here. What I originally assumed quite naturally was going to be a straight narrative adaptation like Edward's Branch Line - though again that was great too - is turning out desiring to be something more. The vocal casting must surely be again be taking on an air not far removed from the old audio and redub productions the SiF team that I still recall watching on their old webpage; when awe for what they did impressed a struggling myself I can tell somehow we'll be seeing that again. The Trainz model-makers working with you must not be allowed to underpin their creative abilities either; this is the sign of great quality even when it seems like a mainstream trend for senior Thomas fans. I want my '1669: Teresa' project I've hinted at already to be something like this when I'm ready to showcase it properly; maybe I ought to set up a Twitter account for myself to help in that despite my confidential reservations. Yours' truly, Samuel F.
It’s videos like this that make me proud to be apart of this community. From start to finish, it was a fantastic trailer. I’m more excited to watch what you have to offer in the future. I can tell this is going to be a good series!
This was honestly the pick me up I needed. As you may know, a lot of England is in serious lockdown, so I haven't seen friends or family in what feels like ages. It's been dreadful...and I've felt rather defeated. But oddly, a talking GWR (SWINDON PRIDE MATE!) actually cheered me up. Cheers lads, and we will get through this!
Dmman33 has done a spectacular voice on Sodor Castle, I must admit. I’m excited to see the new stories from the next chapter of the ERS. That speech was outstanding, I recommend people who have not heard should give it a listen to learn something. Good Work Aiden.
@@dmman33 I knew your voice sounded familiar! You're the one who played Diesel in that Diesel and Derek Special all those years ago! I must say, you are quite the talented individual! Perhaps we can have a chat sometime?
Right Now I feel Lost, Alone, I’ve given up on the World, but this makes me a little hopeful that someday light will shine its way through the darkness Castles Model is absolutely Spot On! He fits both a RWS & TVS look. I look forward to seeing your Marvelous project roll into the Yards Dmman33 You Slayed
Just to clear any confusion -- 'Express Engines' will be filmed in TVS style. This video takes place in a different universe where the same events unfold, but just in a 'RWS' style. :)
No dislikes is realy gd mate gongrats
I’m not too bothered about style really I’ve seen castles bases already by the way where did you get the singing bird sound effect from? It’s mostly recognized in the Teletubbies
Will Castle’s model be similar to Gordon and Henry’s, using a marklin chassis?
Stupendous my boys! I think much the same about the message of this; the same young un who indirectly gave everyone Rosie, Fearless Freddie and Jeremy the Jet, because I thought I could give the people-in-charge of the official show new ideas from within my little comfort zone in an intimidating large world.

It's just a stock bird sound effect haha
Sodor castle: chill british-scottish guy
Gordon: **ANGRY EXPRESS NOISES**
Godspeed Sodor Castle.
True
Godspeed sodor Castle
'Sodor Castle will return'
You're dang right he will!
Thanks Sodor Castle
imagine doing a Gravy Train remake
would be cool
Thank you sodor castle for the splendid speech
What a nice fellow castle is..! More humble more friendly than SOME mainline engines. I look very much forward to see how his new life treats him. Godspeed you wonderful jolly engine
Long live sodor Castle very wise word there there's always something good to look forward to
Never knew I would be told a inspirational speech by a talking train
How inspirational
Man that gave me some Avatar The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra vibes. This is the kind of encouragement we all need.
Getting hyped for the next episode of "Express Engines" and thought I'd check this out. I love how Castle talks about how trying times were the year before the upload of this video. Everyone knows that life was very tough with Covid and all, but here we are now! Dmman33 also does an excellent job with the character

I love castle voice, it really gives him his character as a cheerful, and sweet, and also very inspiring personality
Thank you very much!
@@dmman33 No, Thank you for voicing this beautiful Locomotive
I love the rws models here, always felt they fitted the ERS alot better, especially scotish twins
Thank you so much Sodor Castle. School is taking a serious toll on my mental and physical well-being and online classes aren't making it any better. I'm worried about future colleges and my grades are slipping. You really made my day, thank you.

@Jon Aschenbrenner He inherited the number from another engine, Morning Star in 1948.
@Jon Aschenbrenner You'll have to wait until the Express Engines adaptation kicks off ;)
is there some room for Meg a Female steam engine Character I created a few years ago in the series?
she is a newly built engine and Is a BR standard 4 4-6-0 tender who was built especially for the NWR.
I feel inspired by you Castle
Thank you and enjoy your life on sodor
Fingers crossed for a better year.
To Sodor Castle, it's 1996. But to us, we're in a completely different timeline removed by 25 years.

PREACH TO THE CHOIR!

This is what 2021 really needs, thank you :)

Good on you for pushing through those hard times when they kept beating you down🙏🏼
That honestly was a beautiful message that sometimes in some ways applies to real life. Thanks for the support Sodor Castle!
I'm digging this message.
Is it just me or does sodor castle do well on poetry
Note to self: Always have a positive attitude no matter what comes your way. It's easy to go through something and decide to give up. Push yourself to the very end and that's when bright times come!
Thank you for the wonderful video, Rhydyronen! :)
I've been thinking about getting a Castle in OO gauge for a little while now...
I think I know which one I want now!!!
So many thoughts to share!
Wow! That cinematography blew me away! Incredible use of camera movement and lighting, and great set design!
My word, these RWS-style models look incredible! So much detail, down to the wear and pitting on the wheels! Even puts some DTG TS models to shame!

Sodor Castle is back!
WOO! I love the nods to various RWS events, and more importantly for me the nice little hint at Sodor Castle’s past that we didn’t find out for a few years.
Spoken true from a fictional engine character. But he's right! No matter what hits us, something goid will come and provail!
I love This
Some things in life are bad. They can really make you mad. Other things just make swear and curse. When you are chewing on life’s gristle, don’t grumble. Give a whistle and this will help things turn out for the best.
Sodor Castle, a classic
aidan your content keeps surpassing itself in ways i didn’t think were imaginable - you’re a very inspiring asset.
We only JUST got him to 9K
We can't wait what adventure you have Next Sodor Castle
So majestic looking.
Who voices Castle? Not exactly how I expected him to sound but by the time the video ended I was rather pleased!
Dmman33 is the new voice for Sodor Castle in the ERS Videos
Hello!!!
@@dmman33 Spot on!
Not gonna lie, hearing that voice come out of Sodor Castle was rather jarring. I kept expecting him to start screaming at Derek XD
The nostalgia rush hearing all these classic SIF voices again is really something to behold. And that's to say nothing about the quality of the filmmaking. You lot have come a LONG way since the Original trailer for "The Express Engines" was posted all those years ago.
Hahahahaha! I was trying to get a distinct voice from Diesel, but I’m sure he slipped in there...
Can’t wait for some more ERS. I just love that stuff
Sodor castle is really kind and funny❤
I love how so many old faces from SIF are coming back to voice act in so many new fan productions. We need someone to adapt the audio productions!
A lot of us are still willing to record, just depends on if we're asked
Absolutely, Positively, STUPENDOUS. This was great to watch and enjoy and I can’t wait to see whats in store. A spark of joy filled my body it was like watching the OG Thomas when I was a kid. Absolutely a great job and here to 2021 being a better year 👍
Great message! I can't wait to join Sodor Castle too!
Excellent speech there Castle. Amen to that! 👏🏻
Dude this is well done
OmG everything look amazing 🤩 I’m so excited now
I Cannot Wait For Sodor’s Castle’s Adventures On Sodor!
A splendid encouraging speech Sodor Castle! :D
Umm. I have no words. Speechless. Just woaw idk where to begin. The sound design and editing is absolutely superb, lightning is wonderful, Shots are beautiful and just, the whole video is perfection. Just woaw! Amazingly done!
I'M NOT CRYING YOU ARE.
those models look sick, whoever made them did an amazing job.
Andrew (thechairlord) made them -- they've done excellent stuff with their content
Castle? Cool
Keep uploading pls thomas has
fallen off
God Save Sodor Castle! No pun intended.
Also, a very heartwarming message from him, and Dmman33 did a brilliant job as him!
Can we all agree that Sodor Castle is a true gem of an engine?
Rhydyronen, again I must say you and the SiF team are doing wonders here.

This was honestly the pick me up I needed. As you may know, a lot of England is in serious lockdown, so I haven't seen friends or family in what feels like ages. It's been dreadful...and I've felt rather defeated.
But oddly, a talking GWR (SWINDON PRIDE MATE!) actually cheered me up.
Cheers lads, and we will get through this!
This was the motivation i needed. God speed Castle!
You are doing good job keep it going ❤❤❤❤
Who ever voiced castle did a great job
Hello! Thank you!
Np
This is amazing! Great work Aiden!!
Quite a powerful message and excellent story telling!
Bit late for happy new year, but great to see Sodor Castle again!
This was supposed to come out a while ago haha
I'm in with what this man's saying
2:01 "The Perfect Cast", love how you fit the A Goofy Movie soundtrack in :). Hopefully I2I is gonna be instrumentally adapted
I love this message 😃
I wonder if Edward is inspired by Castle because of how wise he is
Thank you castle
Oml I just almost cried mate :,) bravo
Very nice

Just stellar! Love it!
awesome job aiden
This looks epic.
It Looks awesome castle is a good engine to me not bad
Nice Model, Rhydyronen!
Boy I wish there was a new series were they mix RWS with TV style models
This looks and sounds amazing! If you ever need an American voice, give me a shout!
Absolutely Wonderful! I can’t wait!
Oooo this looks nice! I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope the story of how Sodor Castle got his name would be adapted as well. I.e. the part from ERSN4: The Railwayman’s Reminiscences
Who knows what could happen ;)
Really grateful to know people are reading that kind of material, it's niche, but it's really fun to write.
I wish I could design well in trainz, my oc is a hall GWR manor class, Id love to be able to make it and use it in Trainz
Right Now I feel Lost, Alone, I’ve given up on the World, but this makes me a little hopeful that someday light will shine its way through the darkness
Castles Model is absolutely Spot On! He fits both a RWS & TVS look. I look forward to seeing your Marvelous project roll into the Yards
Dmman33 You Slayed
Thanks, man!
Awesome video, happy new year to you too.👍😁
