- To help with the summer holiday traffic on the roads, the Fat Controller introduces a Motorail service. Henry is cross about this. Which leads to an unfortunate incident.
Hello one and all. This particular episode was filmed straight after "Bulgy's Scheme". However, soon after filming, I decided to play around with the lighting and try and improve the quality of my filming. It's still hit and miss, and will take time to master. But I feel I've got it to a point that I'm satisfied with. So hopefully, this will be the last episode with the original naturally lighting that comes with playing trainz.
Also, I don't have a Barrow-in-Furness station, so made do with a random station from my Edinburgh-Dundee route. Try and ignore the station lamps (It's real name is revealed and I couldn't hide it). Hopefully, that won't spoil your enjoyment, but no doubt the eagle eyed of you will notice it. ;)
This was a fun episode to write and proved interesting and challenging to film. Next time, I'll try and not make the trains as long.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this story.
DCG12B
Who else couldn't help but start laughing when the engines said "we've already got a buffet card and coaches with toilets in them, what more do they want?" Just hysterical to me!
Same!
Oh absolutely.
Now they want coaches with bedrooms in them!
Sleeper cars were a thing back then, so they’d definitely want those!
@@InventorZahran ...You know what? I think they'd like a personal servant too.
In the US, this episode would be called, “Henry and the Auto Train.”
Amtrak has a train called the autotrain that runs between Washington DC and Florida
Bruh henry why
@@robertlucido3686 u stupid he talk about it
Why Henry
OMG YES IT WOUDL BE EPIC!
You'd think Henry would have learned from Thomas's first time pulling a train. Funny how things turn out, huh?
Glad you noticed the subtle reference there ;)
I'm more impressed the signalmen didn't stop him either.
@@VPT2 Is that Henry's train? Eh, whatever.
Thomas was right. At this point, the big engines might as well scrap their tenders and get coral bunkers. That’ll teach them
Me (smugly): Karma, BITCH!!!!!!!!! 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
i misread the title on the thumbnail as "monorail" at first
thomas: "but my branch line's still all cracked and broken!"
james: "sorry, thomas, sir topham's spoken!"
all: "monoraaail, monoraaail, monoraaaaaaail!"
gordon: "mono-... d'oh!"
What is a montrain?
@@Tobu9105F are you dumb
@@Tobu9105F if you mean a monorail, that's when specifically built trains run on a singular rail in their journeys, rather than the usual parallel set of two that most others use.
You Just won best comment.
I don't think anyone has written a story involving motorails before. Nice work once again. 👍
Agreed
I don't think anyone has written a story where Henry was the offending engine either. Normally he's the best behaved of all the big engine.
A real breath of fresh air. Coincidentally, I was looking at the Eurotunnel Shuttle Train that connects between Britain and France, which is one of the most well-known Motorail services.
This story has much inspiration potential.
I actually think a NWR Motorail Service is a good idea ever since I watched that British Pathe Video in 2018
I think Wildnorwester did one where they introduced it on the Norramby Branch.
This is the first story I heard where an engine does something bad to which their action effected the railway
What about James and the Top Hat?
@@evanclarke5561 He just means a long lasting consequence for the railway in it's entirety. Technically every engines misdeeds in other stories will effect the railway to some degree but in this case Henry's actions were on a larger scale or so the Fat Controller thought. In truth even if Henry hadn't made the mistake it's likely the road was going to be built anyway but to the fat controller how successful the Motorail service was would at least keep that at bay. Still in the end Henry did redeem himself and people ultimately had faith in the service which ensured it would still be needed next year. Of course if Henry had continued to cause problems the railway might have been forced to abandon the Motorail service if people ended up thinking it was no good. In other stories the fat controller will normally have to punish the offending engine for whatever they did wrong but soon after things are running as normal. When Gordon, Henry and James were on strike yes that did cause problems but in the end everything went back to normal with no long lasting consequence.
Yup, cars on tracks, more cars on the road
This feels like Season 4 going into 70s-80s Railway Series era and somehow even more epic than that, if that makes sense. Loved this story, very fun, with amazing visuals.
Well done, David! You sound a lot like Ringo when you narrate. Ah the nostalgia
This episode reminds me of Thomas' Train/A Big Day for Thomas. You did a great job on it.
I agree
what a wonderful story, I’ve never seen a story focused around motorails; you’ve definitely improved a lot and I can’t wait to see what you have in store!
I hope he makes a story featuring a monorail train that poses as a threat to both the steam engines and diesels.
I knew That Henry was going to be in serious trouble with the fat controller this time even if the passengers didn’t know their cars have been left behind The signalman was right to keep it a secret although the fat controller found out straight away Henry was of course very conceited in his boiler But it all backfired him in end A sequel must be created so that Henry can show the fat controller he is sorry And at the fat controller would forgive him
Awesome story! Love how it showed the motorail! And Henry's incident reminded me of "Thomas' Train"!
Have to say this was a very interesting story that made full use of the unusual premise. Throughout the train's importance was emphasised perfectly. A perfect bitter-sweet ending that greatly reflects that sometimes change is inevitable no matter what we do to stop it. I enjoyed the banter throughout too.
Glad you liked it and I'm also glad you noticed the moral of the story. Change happens even if we don't want it too. The best thing to do is to adapt the best you can.
Another great episode! And fitting enough for a summer-like day like this one!
This was a very well written episode, and I also am very impressed with your improved lighting, it looks pretty natural and good. Also that scene of the fat controller laying into Henry was pretty cool ngl. Can't wait to see more of your stuff
Mate, just like your Jimmy series, it was always a treat having something to look forward to since your writing work is absolutely splendid! Keep it up!
I love the whole story, especially how well you nail Henry's personality. Kudos!
“Where are the cars?!” That’s what Henry would have said if he wasn’t interrupted.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😋😋😋😋😋😋
Passengers: NNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dunno if you know this, but America has a version of a Motorail called the “Auto Train”.
ALL ABOARD AMTRAK
@@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory FYI..... The Auto Train existed before Amtrak took over it. ^^;
@@jimmyhook4852 yes I know
@@jimmyhook4852 Really?
@@vincentberkan605 Yes. =3
Absolutely loved this story could not take my eyes off it!
Let’s be honest, henry can have a streak with nearly anything. like first the rain, then an elephant, and now named trains. Good grief, Old Square Wheels can really be bitten by karma harder than any other engine on the railway. All the same a fascinating story this was a topic that had never been touched on by anyone. the only exception to this is wildnorwester, but that was only on a branchline and the IOS book created by Awdry, but again on a branchline . An amazing story though it’s always amazing seeing a refreshing new story. keep up the great, it’s always an excitement when you upload.
I like how you used D199 as the Mainland Diesel that helps Henry out of his jam. To me, it was kinda like him getting revenge against Henry for humiliating him in Super Rescue.
You probably intended to use him as a generic nameless character, but that's just how I see it.
Lol, clever theory. Although this could be D199 last appearance where in Bert redemption, He was later scrapped. Though that could be just a generic diesel though.
I really like that you have included the diesel's from the other railway. Especially Old Stuck up. I was half expected to hear him laugh at Henry's misfortune.
A good story too. One which Henry's theme of named trains sticks with him.
Another fabulous story, very unique and intuitive at using each character's unique personality traits.
Of the stories I've seen on this channel, I found myself to be playing this one the most. It's one of the best Thomas fan stories I've seen on UA-cam. Also, thanks for answering my "Thunderbirds" question on your "Fame and Failure" video before it got marked as "Made for kids."
Great original story David, I like the idea of a motorrail service for story. This reminds of WNW’s series with Evan and Edwin working on the Norramby Branchline.
Henry really was his own worst enemy. Food for thought for all of us.
I love this video! I’ve never seen someone write a TTTE Story with motorails in it!
David this was fantastic, I never heard such enthusiasm and smooth narration. Props to you.
Another wonderful original story! I kinda see a pattern with this story and the previous story; both related to Rail Vs Road. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re secretly working on a RWS book with these new stories! ;)
This would make a great original format RWS book that's for sure. The spirit of The Reverend's storytelling is perfectly rendered. This is how the TV series should have been...
Such an original story. Another great episode in general. And if we're getting an avarage of one episode every 2 months or so, then you might have found a new calling as a trainz user.
I swear this is one of the most serious fan made trainz episode I’ve ever saw
Definitely subscribing. Nicely written story, great shots, and amazing narration. Awesome job!
I swear your stories are like pieces of artwork, they all just flow together so well. Not to mention, your skills in trainz are improving exponentially! I said it before and I'll say it again: I'm so excited to see what else this channel has in store!!!
That's a really lovely comment. Thank you so much!
Wow! Never thought this would be one of those times where an engine almost cost the reputation of the NWR because of something they did wrong. And for Henry leaving the cars behind, it reminded me of Thomas' Train. Also your narration is superb in this one!
Very much liked the ending of this, and the severity of Henry's actions. I got a good laugh out of how the climax of the story wasn't so much Henry realizing his mistake, but moreso how it was covered up to avoid the passengers realizing their cars were left behind! Very realistic practice I must say :D
As well as the overall consequence of a new road being built, very frequently is the threat of the roads brought up in stories
The overall motorail concept is quite good as its rarely used. WNW's Norammby branch line crew is the only one I can think of, and even then it wasnt used as a major focal point unlike here :)
Lastly as a second delve into Trainz you've improved tenfold. Practice certainly does make perfect.
Highlight line is no doubt James's remark of "They already have a buffet car and coaches with toilets in them, what more do they want?" Hehaha I love a pure locomotive's attitude towards passengers' desires, we're a fussy species after all ;D
The Motorail concept was always an idea I'd always been interested in but wasn't sure how to play it out. Henry's action were to prove that sometimes you need to look at the bigger picture before you kick off. Henry is the more laid back of the 3 big engines, but he does have a childish side to him where he can throw a tantrum every now and again.
Really glad you enjoyed it. Hahaha! Totally agree with you. We are a fussy species. James definitely called it! xD
@@dcg12btrainz44 You should make a sequel to "Henry and the Motorail"
Actually, that could have been Gordon's remark. The shot focused on both him and James when he said that.
The moment I saw the thumbnail with your name on it, I instantly clicked it, not even wanting to miss a chance of seeing another masterpiece you have written. Every Thomas themed story you write is much more enjoyable than the last! ^^
Thank you very much! I do try and put my most in these stories, both writing and filming.
@@dcg12btrainz44 No prob. I always enjoy your content!
I wonder if Jimmy the Jinty will be brought to Trainz one day 🤔
That's something I was wondering too but don't think that'll happen since the Bachmann and Hornby models DCG12B uses are so good
Oh how I missed this content. Your voice always somehow suits the mood of a moment, and even making Original Stories such as this always makes me feel nostalgic. Always makes me feel giddy watching Jimmy the Jinty again
Brilliant work! The story was good, the camera work absolutely gorgeous. Well done!
I remember you from your Jimmy the Jinty series.
Ooooh a Motorail Service! Ever since I watched that British Pathe Video about the Motorail in 2018,I think a NWR Motorail Service would be a good idea!
I enjoyed how funny and how deserving Henry’s punishment was but it was still funny
Motorail: The AutoTrain but in UK.
AutoTrain: The Motorail but in US.
Nice idea coming up with a Motorail story.
Henry's the last engine you'd expect to complain about taking such an usual train, much less leave half of it behind. Gordon and James, most likely, but Henry? One would imagine Spamcan never letting him hear the end of it... 😜
I’m so annoyed I only just discovered your trainz channel! Oh I cannot wait for more videos!
Can you do a story about the engines complaining about a group B rally taking place on sodor? Maybe having a part of the course going over a level crossing or have the engine wondering why there isn't any competition/sports for trains?
Another wonderful story mate both you and Aaron are very creative and talented when it comes to writing these kinds of stories, particularly your ghost stories with the figure in the tunnel as one of them and your Jimmy the jinty series but yeah looking forward to more soon 🙂
hello ! I just wanted to say that I’ve loved your content since the early days of Jimmy The Jinty and seeing you constantly evolve with the content you put out is very inspiring ! Keep up the good work !
Thank you! That's really kind of you. I'm always learning as I go along.
Wow! Last time I checked (when I subscribed) you had 657 subscribers! Now you have 709!
Fantastic as usual. U sure have a gift for brilliant storytelling
Amazing! This was an excellent story! You never disappoint ;)
Ngl I popped when I saw Edward hauling the cars. A hero
I have a feeling this episode is in a way productive, due to the past incidents on the railway, though still Stanier 5MTs & Class 40s, are quite exquisite.
Great story mate, keep up the good work. Being a fan of your jimmy series for years too, cant wait to see more stories.
Great job with the railway story that would've been added to the original series of Thomas and Friends.
Well this is an interesting story. You gained a new subscriber!
Please do an episode where Oliver and Emily are the main characters. That'd make for a great episode.
Perhaps Emily could still be new to the North Western Railway and ask Oliver if whenever people consider him crashing into turntables and damaging trucks comes to mind. Oliver who's upset tries to get back at Emily, but there is no need to do this. Later Emily is taking trucks from the flour mill to the harbour when she crashes into a duckpond and gets covered in flour.
@@evanclarke5561 Well, they would be more as friends. Or in this case, if she were to do that, its only fitting for Oliver to rescue her and take her to the works. After all, she isn't a pompous big engine like Henry, James, and/or Gordon. Her personality is meant to be kind.
Bravo dude. You honestly made me like I was 8 years old again and watching Thomas on the TV. Great work dude!
WHAT a brilliant story. It is perhaps my most liked fan adaptation.
Phenomenal voice acting as always dcg12b!
Great episode mate and I’m sorry for my impatience mate. Keep up the great work with your videos David. 😃😀😉🙂
That was excellent. So in keeping with series 1/2 of the tv series. Brilliant.
This is a GENIUS storyline! I tell you fan channels are creating better storylines and stating LOYAL to TTTE's founding principles unlike what nasty Mattel has done. Well done!
Btw, what program is this?
I hope we get more Stories of Henry! or Edward!
this was AMAZING! keep up the good work!
When the narrator said “what happened next, no one quite knows” I completely predicted what would happen. 😅
I would pay a lot to see a motorail in TTTE.
Awesome video, mate!👍
Your voice is well-suited to narration and voice-over. I look forward to what else you have in store for us; your previous work was always excellent!
The Marvellous Mainland Model Works has one on the Vicarstown to Barrow in Furness.
Excellent story! I loved how the plot developed neatly and also made clear the consequences of Henry's actions. Can't believe I haven't subscribed sooner to the legend that is DCG12b
8:24 Henry: *gasps* The cars.
Intresting concept for a story
I loved this episode it was so great
I expected this motorail terminal would be at killdane because there is one in the railway series
I've never heard of a motorail until now. This was a great story! Well done.
Amtrak has a kind of train like that called the autotrain that runs between Washington DC and Florida
Yay new video. Missed your content!!!
Excellent work on this story David! 👍:D
5:09 I don't know how but that line was delivered so perfectly disrespectful
Monorail train? I think it should be called the auto train.
In the UK, it's known as "MotoRail" so stuck with that branding for the story.
@@dcg12btrainz44 I know but still
I was honestly surprised Gordon and James didn't go on strike.
One of my friends: only 5 year olds like Thomas
Me: Watch Unlucky Tug
That was a very interesting story
Man this is so true to the classic series, the roasts and clapbacks are just as salty as i remember
That was a very well done concept! This brings something new to the island
Great story with beautiful graphics.
I'm pretty sure the narrator was attempting to sprinkle in a Ringo Starr impression here and there.
Believe it or not, that's how my voice sounds.
@@dcg12btrainz44 Is that right? I am quite impressed.
Whatever's next INDEED.
This was fantastic, well done!
Visually this was surprisingly close to the 'real thing'. Impressive.
Shameless Cameo Of Oliver And Toad
Alternative title: Edward Comes In CLUTCH Again…. Kinda.
A fantastic story! I just wanted to say; even with a new road being built to help cope with the extra heavy volume of cars coming to the island; wouldn’t it be cheaper to use the train if you were driving your car? I mean they’d be saving gas and mileage on there vehicles
Some people are smarter than others.
Well Edward pretty much saved Henry's behind. What's Henry's problem this episode anyway. He usually likes doing trains giving to him?
Henry is overshadowed by Gordon and James out of the three big engines. But tends to be forgotten that Henry can throw his weight around and have tantrums just as much as the other two can. He stayed in a tunnel because it was raining and went on strike because he didn't want to shunt. So its not unreasonable to think that Henry would act very stubborn and volatile against something he didn't like.
Henry left the cars behind. LITERALLY.
Wow you just let James pull the Motor rail train and James happy
Awesome job and amazing southern American accent David 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Honestly, this is pretty sick and amazingly well done. This is what I imagine TTE would be if it was aimed at a more mature audience
It’s good to hear your voice narrating again buddy! Man I miss when you narrated these series!
Very good story!
6:43 just like how Thomas was impatient and left his coaches behind.
Thomas was just impatient and excited that he left his coaches behind
