Behind the Scenes of The Engines of Sodor

Here is a look at how I created the Engines of Sodor episodes throughout the past 5 years.

[@VictorTanzig1]

Excellent. Thanks for showing this.

[@cec_oregon]

Yo hi victor!

[@rebel_x13]

You have done wonders for the past 5 years, and like Gordon said for Edward, " If Edward (you) chooses to retire, then by god has he bloody earn the right to do so!!" You are an iron fist my good sir, I can't wait for the second season of NWR Origins, and the epic finally in may. I will miss you, and the engines of sodor, all of them.

[@josephmurphyjones5046]

You are a true legend. I love all your videos. I'm really going to miss them.

[@donalddouglas9106]

I'm going to miss this series, but at least I know you worked this hard for us. I never knew it was this complicated to make a trainz video! You need a vacation or something.

[@jccinfinity7019]

Even without seeing this video, I always knew you put a lot of work into your series. It shows👍🏻

[@UsefulEngine11]

Hey Thomas1Edward2Henry3 this was a great behind the scenes video today is my birthday and this was a great video showing us what you do pretty much the perfect present I can't wait to see what you have planned next

[@Dingo950]

A lot Of This Stuff Is Rather Basic Stuff That I Personally Always Knew About When I Played Trainz. What I Really Wanted To See Was The Editing Thecniuqe. And I Gotta Say I'm Impressed! I Wanna See A Bloppers Video Next!

[@Kanefan701]

you are a legend and an icon and one to idolize.

[@fanofeverything30465]

Takes one to know one

[@natetrain9865]

WOW. I didn't know there was so much work when editing Trainz videos! Especially this one! You, my friend, are a pure wizard! Looking forward to seeing Tarnished Legacy!

[@UltraTitanZ]

There is a lot of good information in here that can be used for not just Thomas, but many other things as well.

[@warriorstar2517]

Neato Burrito! This was an awesome series.

[@ThomasandDBZ2010]

While I was watching 20:05, it was incredible the way you applied green screen onto animation that Trainz itself could never do. As for Thumper and Harold as static objects, I've learned from what you've done but didn't know at the time. In my case, I did a Trainz remake of "Not the Ticket!" from Thomas and the Great Railway Show (Christopher Awdry's RWS Vol. 35), which would involve Thomas being perched onto a lorry by road. The lorry was static, so I ended up moving the Flying Cam across Thomas and the lorry. You've done wonders with this series lately.

[@justang8490]

Thanks for sharing this with us! There aren't a lot of videos about how to install the content though, which is stopping a lot of people trying to make their own series.

[@Plagued4Life]

Smashing work mate! Loved how you explained everything!

[@Douglas57647]

Wow, I guess it really does take a lot of work to make a Trainz video! You sir are amazing!

[@freshsmudger4]

really enjoyed this video, very helpful and when i watch the boulder video in a minute, itll be cool to know how youve done certain stuff

[@Gingercat65YT]

Impressive Work 👍🏻

[@ChristhegeekHD]

Impressive, most impressive

[@jonathankennedy]

But if you have the series finale of the show, what’s gonna be your next move?

[@tankenginefan1189]

Nice behind the scenes video. I can’t wait for the finale, but I sort of hope it doesn’t come as well because it will mean that your amazing series Engines of Sodor will end.

[@DylanRailVids04]

Amazing work man and I love your Thomas the tank engine videos brings back many memories when I read the railway series books of T&F and I love the model series before they switched to CGI and your Thomas the tank engine trainz simulator videos brings back memory’s to me and keep up the good work bro.

[@ThomasTrainsPark]

Very sophisticated and wonderful! You must have had a hard time making it.

[@tudorbrancuturcu5996]

T1e2h3: I’m running out of ideas Me: I’ve got too many Ideas. Lol

[@TheNWClassA1218]

Very interesting! I loved the series, too bad it's gonna end soon.

[@LePenguin]

You're not the only one who thinks finding ideas is no doubt the hardest part, I have that same problem with a series i'm planning to launch called "Stories of a Railroad"

[@AidanNester]

I have the 2012 version of Trainz, but, back in 2016, it got removed from my Mom's acer laptop. but this year, my Dad and my brother Austin helped me reinstall it on Steam. At first, I didn't know how to open the Content Manager, but now, I finally got it to open, and I put all my Thomas stuff in here.

[@Thatonesaddletank]

Nice video! An interesting way of making boulder

[@mattdisney1132]

Wow that amazing!

[@lowcountrytrains3312]

This was pretty interesting to me.

[@ryanstephenkristoferkearns1319]

A good video of how you make your engines of Sodar videos and I do like your videos.

[@kamsieneda37]

Nice one thomas1 Edward2 henry3

[@MrCSisley]

Hey there T1E2H3, this is a great video. It shows how much work you and the other Thomas Trainz content creators put into your videos. Slightly daunting for when I eventually create my own series but this shows me what I'll need to do. I know this might be an odd question, but would you mind if I send you a few ideas of origins for some of the older original engines (Diesel, Mavis, etc...)?

[@tudorbrancuturcu5996]

I just bought Trainz, but I have no idea how to use it. This video was very helpful!

[@seangannon185]

I gotta say. Your episodes were amazing. I wonder how you can make five more season and think of some more idea for your next episodes. And I also how you could bring back some of the the character voices from Seasons 1 and 2 and NWR Origins while you're at it. Good luck. ;)

[@Farmerjon9660]

Wish i could find the routes since SI3D shut down

[@OliTheMonarchy]

I’ve an idea: now that Engines of Sodor is over, you should do a top 5 list of your personal favourite and least favourite episodes.

[@bendy1367]

Weight in one of your episodes including Oliver a steam engine fell off of an unfinished bridge that was off to the side of Oliver

[@fanofeverything30465]

The episode was 'Great Western End' and the engine was Mike

[@oliverthegreatwesternengin8029]

I'm glad I switched over to TS 19, Yes it is much more expensive than Trainz but you get way better quality, sounds and every thing. And it doesn't use as much saving space as Trainz does.

[@haraz2594]

Yeah but you are Not Making Movie and the Graphic in Railworks didn't Change since it did apeard in 2009 and we have 2018/19!!!!And Trainz is My childhood!And the Graphic from Trainz 2019 are better

[@adamtain7627]

The only question I have is that where did you find the music for the Skarloey railway theme? (To clearify for example the theme at the end of episode: Jim's story or close the end of Ivo Hugh's safari)

[@williamb.298]

I'm fascinated with the way you showcased the BTS of your videos, I have actually had thoughts about getting Trainz myself and making videos with that, do you have a recommended site if I wanted to afford it?

[@PercyfanJamestheredcollector]

Great behind the scenes which game do you use for trainz simulator

[@Deimos-rl8cx]

Thanks mate, I could never figure out how to change the faces.

Is that TS12?

Trainz 2010 actually.

[@IroncladInSteam4007]

I see

[@sudrianrailwaystudios676]

I wonder if I could find the routes you used. But I still have SI3D Routes and I currently use Trainz 12 and T:ANE.

[@ebobro2175]

Saying that you’re cheap is like saying all animals on the planet should go extinct

[@Matts_Creations]

I have an idea for a story. After 4 years of the Wrath of the Rails. Diesel 10 survives the explosion im the old warehouse and hides. Thomas travels the main line and found Diesel 10 in a siding hiding. Sir Topham Hatt sees suspicion s with Thomas and later finds Diesel 10. Diesel 10 was sent away from Sodor. Just when he was leaving Sodor. Henry was a runaway and Diesel 10 saved Henry. There was a praise for Diesel 10 and now he stays on Sodor and became really useful again.

[@Matts_Creations]

Here's is a summary of the story.

[@alco251b9]

If you were going to update to newer version of trainz, you could put all of that content on a external hard drive

[@lostmemories4398]

[@gabedw40]

I don't know why I'm telling you this even know you made this comment 4 years ago. But basically he just used WMV format.

[@springfredbear1601]

Do you have to pay to download the Thomas stuff

[@VanCortlandtParkStudios2433]

Every content for Trainz are free to download. Most of the stuff can be downloaded on the Trainz Download Station, or DLS. But in order to do that, you need to make an account and register your Trainz serial number or whatever version of Trainz you use. The most famous website for having Thomas content is called Sodor Island 3D, but unfortunately it recently closed down.

[@iteddie9202]
