James has been teasing Duck for being named after an animal. He thinks it makes the Sodor engines sound undignified, especially after Duck makes headlines in the news. But when a mysterious visitor passes through Sodor, will James learn that even really useful engines can have really unusual names? Find out in Episode #4 of Thomas & Friends: Back on Track!

It’s finally, FINALLY, F I N A L L Y here! The elusive Episode #4 of my series!
When I originally wrote the first draft of this episode, way back in 2019, I never expected it to take so long. I thought it would just be a simple episode I could pump out and move on from. But the longer I worked on it, the more room I saw for improvement, and I’m very glad I took the time to keep it in the works. I knew I had to make this one worth the wait, so I doubled my efforts while filming the second half - better lighting, better colour correction, more detailed sets, steam effects, more interesting shots, and so on. In my opinion, this episode features some of my best sets, shots, lighting, and character dialogue yet.
I want to give everyone a MASSIVE thank you for being so patient with this episode. I didn’t have a single person pester me about when this episode would be finished, even when I took time away from it to work on other episodes, parody music videos, and so on. And thank you all very much for 6,000 subscribers!!
A Behind-The-Scenes and Director’s Commentary for this episode are already in progress and almost finished, in which I will go into further detail why this episode took so long and all the new things I learned while making it.
I’m also VERY happy to say that Episode #5, “Diesel To The Rescue,” will NOT take 5 years to finish. I only wrote the story last Summer, and 70% is already filmed and edited, including the most complicated sequences, which is the fastest I’ve ever worked on an episode.
And last but not least, a special thanks to YOU for watching! Until next time!

[@thesudriana016]

I've just found my new favorite episode of Back on Track! And Holy Gresley, we actually get to see Mallard, the magnificent and fastest steam locomotive in the world in it! 😆😆😆😆😆😄😄😄😄😄 I know from what you stated in your previous commentaries that the amount of characters you have in model train form is very limited (until you got the Bachmann Bill & Ben), but it's so surreal to see a few other engines from different brands of the same gauge like Hornby make an appearance. The humor has me in total stitches in terms of dialogue like James forgetting Duck's real name, Percy calling James "skunk" at the beginning (which does remind me of "James the big stinky" quote in Adventure Continues), the Gordon & the Famous Visitor quote, the Fat Controller's expression after James left the yard and James being so dumbfounded beyond belief that he never heard of Mallard or the other A4 Pacifics named after birds too. It's just so hysterical. Oh well. My favorite scene though are the shots of James chasing after Mallard to try and talk to her, combined with the custom Vicarstown Bridge set, the countrysides and the cinematography of Mallard and James' undercarriages (which is something the actual models couldn't do let alone CGI, but this has me glued to the screen). Also the King's Cross station set looks stunning (looks like there's more than Paddington, Duck!) And finally, this is what I can call a realistic version of Thomas' Animal Friends except only this time without what everyone keeps calling this stuff "furries" (even though I do love Rebecca and a little bit of the moral of doing what you love despite what others might say which is a ongoing thing with Thomas' current reputation between fans and non-Thomas fans, thank goodness for the Unlikely Fandom to come and set it all right hopefully). In this one, the moral is actually not blatantly said and only feels genuine, especially with Duck and James' rivalry with the latter used to think animal names for engines are undignified from the start until Mallard showed up which reminded me of Gordon's opinion of domeless or decorated engines. Good thing though Bear, Toad and Gator aren't here. They'd never hear the end of it and would probably give James a piece of their minds.🤣😅 Looking forward to the next episode!

[@SootyWill]

Oh my goodness, thank you SO much for this giant comment! This totally made my day! I'm so glad to hear you laughed at the jokes! I had a lot of fun writing and recording them. And thank you for noticing the shots and sets! The Vicarstown Bridge and undercarriage shots were something I wanted to do for Ep 3, but didn't know how at the time, so I'm just glad they turned out haha. King's Cross was pretty daunting to build as well, so thank you for noticing! And I'll be honest - I forgot that Gator is named after an animal too! Why are there so many animal names on Sodor?! 😂 Thank you again so much for taking time to write this out and saying what parts you liked. These kinds of comments make it all worth it. So seriously, thank you! :D

[@rokamayono8590]

I might make the overall appearance look busy

[@FlatMagnets1992]

Holy friggin cow dude. I've never seen anything from your channel before but this is off the chain!!! The writing has to be the strongest part - which I can't always say for fan-written episodes, even if they might look really nice - the dynamics between all the engines, bickering and poking fun at each other feels absolutely true to form. It's a small thing, but I love that Gordon unknowingly parrots the "how uncultured" line - it's funny and it totally fits. I love how Mallard is built up - this is easily the best attempt I've seen at writing Mallard into the Thomas and Friends universe. I think making her a female character is an inspired choice (maybe that shouldn't be that groundbreaking but we all know Thomas is kind of a sausage fest). On top of that, I loved the cinematography and compositing work (the shot at 3:16 looks amazing and seamless)! I can tell a lot went into this. All the sets look very fully realized - the highlights for me were the bridge to the mainland and Scarborough Station. I didn't even notice that LEGO was being used as set dressing in my first watch! It totally works. I especially enjoyed all of the shots during the chase (6:08 is INSANE! Never seen anything like that with physical models before - and the camera angle and movement at 6:24 is super smooth - goes great with the Harold trill in the music) and Duck's reveal shot at 7:29. I can totally understand why an episode like this would take a ton of time an effort to make. It paid off tremendously.

[@SootyWill]

Oh my gosh, seriously, thank you SO much!! You totally got all the jokes and references - Gordon's line, the homage to "Percy and Harold" in the aerial shot - and thank you for taking notice of the sets too! The Vicarstown shot at 3:16, the aeiral shot, and the bridge were definitely the hardest and longest to do, so I really appreciate the kind words! To be honest, I was worried this episode would be the weakest of my series and be disappointing after I took so long to finish it, so getting such nice comments like this has been very heartwarming. :') So again, thank you so so much - you've totally made my day. Thanks for taking time to write such a nice comment. :D

[@FlatMagnets1992]

[@geoffreystoddart3503]

THAT was an AMAZING episode, and I'm very please you made Mallard a female character too.👍👍

[@SootyWill]

Thank you so much! I thought it would be nice to have another female character, especially for such a famous engine. Thanks for watching!

[@railfandepotproductions]

Some say mallard is male, others say mallard is female. However, the concept of a non binary mallard hasn't been explored I do not know if this is a good thing or not.

This is the first video of yours I’ve seen, I gotta say this was phenomenal! It was funny & entertaining, but also very true to “classic thomas” if you wanna call it that.

3:42 I believe I have theological answer to why James doesn't have red wheels. It's because of that other red engine who tried to push Henry out of the tunnel. The illistratior gave that james look alike red wheels and when he illustrated James in his book, he gave him black wheels so children wouldn't mistake him for that other red engine and to keep the continuity in line. But that's just a theory of mine. Y'all don't have to believe it if ya don't wanna.

Hey! Thanks for the kind words! You can remake it, thanks for asking first - but I would appreciate if you didn't use my audio. I can send you the script if you'd like to record it yourself or with voice actors, but I'd like to keep the original audio on my channel. *Also, for anyone in the future who might be reading this, please always ask me first before remaking my episodes - thanks!*

I have to say, your layouts are pretty Great too, I don't suppose you could do a layout tour video at some point Please.

[@SootyWill]

Thank you so much! Building the sets is my favorite part so I appreciate it! Unfortunately though, the sets are only built one at a time. Every time I finish filming on one set, I disassemble it and build another on the same table. I always take pictures of them though! You can check out the pictures in my Behind The Scenes videos: kzbin.info/aero/PLSND9odXrDeZTxxzGCa0FZw0b8t-0vz1p A Behind the Scenes for this episode will be out next weekend. :)

OK, Now THAT'S FUNNY 2:19 😆🤣

[@SootyWill]

Haha thank you so much! One of my favourite moments in the ep 😂

[@ansonng355]

What a Amazing Video. I Never See The Mainland Too.

[@SootyWill]

Thank you so much! I was worried this episode would be kinda mid while I was making it so that really means a lot! :D

[@fishpop]

Aw nice, someone else who sees Mallard as female, even though her name is for a MALE duck. :P I've always thought of her as female cos she was the first engine i ever heard referred to as such.

[@uremat2913]

1:37 is soo funni!

[@dannychan6202]

Wait. I guess Duck was proven wrong. London IS King’s Cross.

[@SootyWill]

LOL I guess so! He and Gordon probably had an off-screen argument after he came home ;)

[@railwayjade]

Not sure why you say not for kids, but this is well put together!

[@SootyWill]

Thank you so much! It is appropriate for kids, but KZbin turns off comments on videos set to “made for kids”, so I try to make it clear it’s for young and old fans of Thomas :)

[@railwayjade]

@@SootyWill AH, Of course! Thanks for clarifying!

5:49 quick question: what’s the name of this theme?

[@SootyWill]

“Percy and Harold’s Race Theme” by SA Music

[@robrice7246]

7:35 Going by Duck's line, wouldn't this episode happen around WWII (since Mallard's speed record occurred on July 3, 1938)?

[@michaeltischer7195]

But how can mallard BE There in service... Ohhhh is your timeline im dumb but is still great for seeing mallard raceing down the Tracks, and i wound Love to See mallards freinds too

[@SootyWill]

Thank you! If you look at the newspaper at the beginning, it mentions that Mallard is going to Scarborough on Sunday, July 3, 1988, which she actually did in real life! Except, in my version, she departs from Sodor I would love to make an episode about Mallard and her friends... I'll keep that in mind ;)

[@karenfan010]

cheetah would actually be a good name for gordon.

[@SootyWill]

Haha, I agree! Though I don't think Gordon would care for it much ;)

[@rexliu657]

7:49 I wonder spencer is silver fox or not

Haha, I hadn't thought of that! Maybe it's his alter ego ;) Thanks for watching!

Who is that 100 mph blue steam engine that looks like Spencer?

This episode is to confirm that it is Mallard The 100 mph Blue Steam Engine

[@patrickd.3681]

I know what Percy’s animal name would be. Caterpillar!

[@SootyWill]

Haha! I'm so frustrated I didn't think of that joke myself! I should have put it in the episode! XD

@@patrickd.3681 Hmm, I don't know... maybe Blue Jay? They're supposedly known for being aggressive and territorial. And we all know Thomas can be fussy and very proud of his Branch ;)

The great western railway green steam engine likes to continue having a nickname Duck 🦆

[@MrRandomYouTuber1996]

What what what, it says on fandom that Mallard is a male character
