Merry Christmas everyone! 😅 Apologies for the late special but that's okay, it's apart of the charm of the channel now haha! Mike wrote this for me kindly for the Christmas season, and it is such a treat. It's always so fun to see more of Spamcan and Edward interacting. Almost like a faux sequel to Running on The Spot! This was a really nice video to make, I'm really happy with how it came out. The colors in this especially called out to me. I really hope you guys enjoy some of the updated models we will get to see more of in the upcoming videos; this and the next video will feature Edward! I learned how to export engines for Trainz, so progress on main stories will be coming at a much faster rate. MASSIVE Shout out to MayC for making the thumbnail for the video, they did such a great job with it, it's based off of a sketch from SteamySudric! I will be posting a community post about the current plan for the Video Workshop in 2024, nothing crazy, just some one off stories and other projects I've been wanting to do! Hope you all enjoy!

I absolutely love Spamcam's characterization in this series and how he's fated to return to Sodor and every time he makes a fool of himself.

[@karenfan010]

I wonder how long until he becomes a permanent member.

[@teaoftraffic]

@@karenfan010maybe when electric engines take over the mainland

[@bambostarla6259]

Maybe he can redeem himself somehow

[@TheLazyFusspot_3428]

And Gordon and Edward treating each other as equals.

And Gordon and Edward treating each other as equals.

[@amtrak2026]

"Surely, you have a clear path for me." "Nope!"

[@Enterprisingexpress02]

Everyone’s talking about spamcan’s characterization, but can we take a minute to talk about Gordon’s? Gordon, despite being furious at spamcan for delaying his express, still helps him, all because Edward put in a good word for him. I think that really goes to show how much Gordon has come to respect Edward, that he willing to help spamcan of all engines, just because of Edward. And all this without losing his pompous personality. Incredible characterization, at least to me since Gordon is my favorite.

[@thomas2themaximus913]

I like how Gordon, a character who cares deeply about their reputation, "naturally" agrees to keep Spamcan's secret about his gratitude, as he also has a reputation of his own.

[@spicypeppers7773]

The back-and-forth between Spamcan and the signal man was just pure gold lmao!

[@Koko_Chan]

1:47 I know it’s Carol of the bells but I still hear ding fries are done. I love how Spamcan coming to Sodor during the winter is a Holiday tradition lol.

[@traintrack3761]

This sure was a good sequel to Running On The Spot. I think Spamcan is capable of changing some of his ways eventually thanks to his constant visits to Sodor.

[@TheLazyFusspot_3428]

Eh, he's still himself. He did help Edward out of fear of being reprimanded by Sir Topham Hatt.

[@joeleboeuf]

That blasted Spamcan is practically the Squidward of Sodor.

[@blairterry9435]

Yeah! And Thomas and Percy are like SpongeBob and Patrick.

[@seanrailanimations]

And to an extent, Spamcan’s the Mr. Curry of Sodor.

[@4eyesJustin]

Spamcan secretly carries the series, along with diesel and bear

[@Charmaster04]

@@seanrailanimations "Bear!"

[@thomasrigby6166]

Even like the Mr. Grumpy of Sodor.

[@PennsyPappas]

My head canon at this point is that SpamCan is so old fashioned and out of date on the mainland that he is constantly chosen for the Sodor runs. Or who knows maybe the mainland is trying to get rid of him by sending him there who knows.

[@TheGreatNateVA]

2:55 “Does he realize we can hear him?” “Ugh, he’s a bloody pest, even to the staff…”

[@StarlightWarriorGamerJames]

Gordon: "Takes fuzeboxes of diamonds to delay MY express." Edward: "Leave him. He's not worth the waste of your own puff."

[@NumberOneEngine1]

For the first video of 2024, this was an amazing experience!! Gordon was soo well written here and Spamcan was hilarious as always, loved their dinamic and character banter in this one. A 10/10 story, not bad. Also another thing: Gordon's expresions were just priceless 🤣🤣🤣

[@darkstone_official_2427]

Deserved. Honestly deserved. Always a pleasure seeing such amazing Thomas content like this especially with how the show went. I absolutely loved Gordon's expression and words when he pulled up beside Spamcan. I half expected him to come up laughing at seeing him in such a state but he was still furious about the delay earlier that night, only really softening his approach after Edward told him what he did to help. Had Edward not said anything or had Spamcan not needed to help him, Gordon would've just been plain furious. 10/10

[@joshuahughes5647]

Amazing stories, amazing characters and amazing animation. No matter how far the original show falls the dedicated fandom will keep the spirt of Awdry, Mitten and Alcroft alive.

[@NumberOneEngine1]

Some true words here man!!

[@pedrourbano501]

I love how even Spamcan's horn sounds "snooty" and "disgusted" to be around Sodor.

[@WesternEchidna]

this video has some of the best facial expressions ever. Especially for Gordon. This was a great Christmas episode and hopefully we get some development for Spamcan

[@CraneProductions27]

That was a very good story. Spamcan can really be a pain. But this time, for once, he did something right to help Edward, even if it did make him feel uneasy. I love the sound of him breaking down and Gordon teasing him at the end. This was a great belated Christmas video 😀.

[@dragonblaster-vu8wz]

So Spamcan is starting to warm up to Sodor. Maybe in a year or 10, he'll finally enjoy his visits to the island 😜

[@eddierools]

Man, Spamcan got NO appearances in the actual show, but it really feels like you're making up for that with him being a common sight in your videos. Now if only D261 got as much attention from you, that would REALLY be something! Anyway, a mighty fine holiday special as usual, your scene coordination never ceases to amaze me!

[@dariusneal9495]

This was the best adaptation, the story and the visual were just amazing! The nod to Tardisrescues "Christmas on the slow trains" with the music as Gordon tows Spamcan away with the mainland station from "The beginning of the End" was just a marvelous reference.

[@witifulweavile2272]

Your videos alone make me love the character of spamcan. I like that he's slowly softening up though, even if perhaps he doesn't want to admit it.

[@Vince-o9t]

3:04 the way Gordan glares at him while he's saying thit makes it way funnier, I also love that way d199 is characterized and voiced in this.

[@Sebdamememan]

Very nice story, every time you bring spamcan onto the scene always makes it a good one, also Edwards red tender under linning and side frames are a very nice visual change.

[@themidlandconnection]

Not just him, Gordon got new tender underframes too, looks like our cast is getting a little refresh for the season

[@Sebdamememan]

​@@themidlandconnection ooh, it appears he did too, it flew by me

[@thesodormodeller]

Did Henry get the same?​@@themidlandconnection

[@thesodormodeller]

I guess not then, pause at 0:16 as that's the best shot you will get of Henry's tender

[@isaacm9138]

Love the new rendition of Gordon’s Snowplough theme from all those years ago

[@mikestudioz216]

Like Afton, He always comes back

[@ThomasSpettel]

Spam-can is one of my favourite diesel characters. The voice suits him.

[@PCMan8922]

This Episode Is Glorious! Our Favorite Spamcan Gets Himself Into Trouble During His Attempt To Get Home Early. And Edward and Gordon Are Simply Being Edward and Gordon Here.

[@joeosnato7200]

Anything late Christmas special? Never ends, doesn't it?

[@UsefulEngine11]

Another fantastic job Carson! Ever since Mike released this story and since you adapted running on the spot almost 2 years ago it was only fitting that you adopted the sequel to that story. I loved hearing some of the themes in this, like the beginning theme from Christmas number one. And the ending Gordon theme from Dan's story Christmas on the snow trains it fits the scene perfectly. Can't wait to see what other stuff you have in store for this year.

[@thesodormodeller]

I love the little arc that edward and spamcan have as last time we saw him, it was edward that helped him from the tunnel, now this time spamcan has returned as if to return the favour by helping him to Wellsworth

[@floridasteamer]

If I had a nickel for every Spamcan and Edward story, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

[@KenKen3593]

These Gordon faces are priceless.

[@tianoc-g4811]

This was a pleasant "christmas-in-january" video that definitely made my day for my break. The characterization of SpamCan was accurate as well as the holiday spirit, giving giving some good graces that were quite in character for all three engines.

[@arenjtumastens]

Once again, Spamcan gets what's coming to him.

[@Bulbasaur617]

What a great (late) Christmas story with D199 (Spamcam). It's nice to see him get a bit of a redemption here. And Edward and Gordon helped him on that for the holidays. Keep up the fantastic work and take care.

[@curtisblevins1462]

Well, Carson, after watching your Christmas special, I have to say that it was another great video you put together and the story was pretty good as well with it revolving around Spamcan's return to Sodor as he berates Edward and Gordon and he tries to cause mischief by going onto Gordon's line, but he ends up helping Edward before his air intake is blocked and Gordon pulls him and his Express to the station before telling Spamcan that he expects some leverage when he returns. All-in-all, in the end, bud, this was a great video you put together and I look forward to seeing what you have planned for Richard and the rest of the Thomas gang in 2024, so keep up the great work!

[@MisterDanielTofu]

The lighting is solid, and the chemistry between Gordon, Edward and Diesel 199 is great. Good job, Carson.

[@YummyBrowniebread]

"what did we learn" 1. Spamham got rizz (not any more) 2. BIG DADDY GORDON GOT MORE RIZZ 3. "SCRAP YOURSELF", said Edward

A little late, but this was an amazing Christmas gift!😁

[@kachowskien]

I get the feeling that Spamcan’s going to eventually be stuck on Sodor

[@TankEngineMedia]

At least D199 learned a little empathy on Christmas (even if very little). Fantastic job!

[@TrainKidSid]

Such lovely use of aspects taken from the likes of Dan and Jake. The other railway set is quite faithful and the music is as inspiring as always! Well done!

[@calebc.2290]

Carson, you sly dog, I knew you were going to adapt this the moment the buried truck uploaded his narration to his channel.

[@Danthe25Man]

I absolutely loved this story! I still don’t like Spamcan but seeing him do a good deed for Edward feels refreshing. And I enjoyed seeing how Edward can befriend any engine of any nature too! You and David should be proud of this project Carson, it’s phenomenal!

[@bynxsbusesandtrains7054]

Spamcan might live on sodor with the amount of time he there I think at the end of season 2 he we love the engine of sodor

[@Charliejashworth]

That was an astounding sequel seeing spamcan’s characterization is somewhat lightning up though I don’t blame him. I know he doesn’t want to return to solo as much but what choice does he have if he is sent back? When he doesn’t want to go back, he has no choice at all. He’s a diesel after all, I like to see a prequel where bear knocks some sense into him more.

[@DaxProductions4124]

very nice adaptation of the Mike's new story Casron. I just think you could make the trains the engines pull a bit longer but still very nice.

This was just amazing Edward, Gordon amd Spamcan were perfectly portrayed in this

[@DarthWill3]

_"Your goody two-wheels attitude is_ revolting." Spamcan's not wrong, though. Edward's been kind for far too long. 😆 What a late Christmas delight you've given us, dude! Reminds me of "Wrong Road", only with holiday cheer and snow. The signalman box is just hilarious, as Gordon having the last word. Keep it up. 👍 Also, I thought I recognized the music from one of tardisrescue's "Christmas on the Snow Trains". 😁

2:56 Gordon's Trampy Face

[@stephenfarthing3819]

A bit late for a Christmas Story - but most adequate! It serves as it does! We - of course - are familiar with D199's ' Sodor phobia' Previous stories involving him have always produced this 'reluctance' in him. Murdock upsetting him also serves as well. Arriving ahead of time with the Express also provided ' grist ' to D199! Spamcan has stuck with him. He'll be forever known as that. Ever since Super Rescue. When a Signalman lost patience with him and threatened to use a certain, kitchen implement on him! Stuck is and stuck was! I am given to think! Oh well!!

[@JM321PROD]

I Like The Fact That Edward has The faces from "Thomas' PC Adventures" and Gordon has the Faces from The Trampy Movies.

[@josephharrington4502]

At least Spamcan did the right thing by rescuing Edward & his Passengers too. Great Video.

[@eslm-studios2996]

I'm starting to wonder if Spamcan will be changing his ways someday.

[@TechyBoi01]

Love the subtle use of Gordon’s snow theme from KnapfordHarbour. Love that remix.

Is it just me or does Edward's tender look different... 🤔 Who made the models and faces for Edward, 199 and Gordon with some of his Trampy movie faces?

[@jeremiahsisaias8677]

My mom doesn't. She always thinks that Gordon's angry face and some of his other faces that have wrinkles on his forehead makes her think that he has botox. 😂 Same with James' 3 wrinkles on his angry face.

Cant lie, I can see Spamcan slowly starting to warm to Sodor, maybe it's just me, not sure

[@ps7372]

Remind me again, why does Spamcan keep coming back to Sodor?

[@Engine9824]

I guess it’s just where he’s usually assigned to go for some work, particularly in winter when he has to make coal delivery.

[@todddavis2041]

What a great story.

[@PetersamStudios622]

How do you make your whistles? They sound so cool

[@StationSquareStudiosYT]

It’s truly gets better with every video. The lighting, models, audio, everything. Spamcam is someone who was only used as a story tool in the railway series and you’ve turned him into such a funny character. You probably get this a lot but have you ever thought about making videos for other neglected characters? There are so many other characters who deserve the love Spamcam has gotten in recent times.

[@PCMan8922]

OMG, Hi!
