I want to give a fucking MASSIVE shout out to ‪@LumityTrioE2‬ for editing the SFX on this episode, and ‪@atropicalmango1446‬ for assembling and editing the soundtrack! Without their effort, this episode would not have been completed NEARLY as soon as it has been.

A friendly reminder that Percy, Marklin, and The Narrator are Nonbinary characters, and use THEY/THEM PRONOUNS! If you can't respect this, you will be blocked from commenting on the channel :)

I love how during the argument, Thomas' pupils shrink to truly express his rage

[@TheSudrianQueen]

13:59 based of the other engine's reactions Safe to say when Edward the nicest and most gentle engine of all engines gets mad... you should be scared

[@TracksideManiac]

Can we just take a moment to praise LumityTrioE2's performence as Thomas? They have such a vocal range, not to mention their yelling and shouting! I freaking love it!!!

[@BiscuitCatProductions]

LumityTrioE2 is absolutely one of the most talented voice actors I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Super lucky to have him voicing Thomas :)

[@alexthelnerj72]

I based off my Thomas voice after them.

[@Wooden_rails]

Thomas' roast at the end was so funny, and the engines stopped their argument at the sheds because Edward raising his voice a little bit is like they know his true anger and they don't want to stir that up again, so they all just shut up and listen to Edward.

[@tonybusch8771]

Jeez. I mean, Thomas was handling it very well, until Edward ruined all that. Thomas could definitely have beat Gordon in a fair fight.

[@carlosperezleon9888]

I love how thomas straight up explodes at Gordon protecting Percy. And also how Edward, the old nice engine that would try to stay out of any conflict, and break character and basically tell Thomas and the rest to fuck off and stop arguing.

[@TankEngine97]

I love a number of the facial editing in this like on Edward.

[@AlexanderMizera2005]

It's on all of them

[@EvelynJiles232]

Henry had only known Percy for two seconds but he understands that they are non-binary after hearing Thomas refer to them as “them”, FUKCING MUSIC TO MY EARS I TELL YOU

[@plastered26]

This is the best attempt at a mature adaptation of ttte I’ve ever seen. The humor and non binary Percy just sell it all for me

[@BrokenBuffer]

I love the detail that when any of the characters gets angry, you can hear the safety valve whistling. It’s most prevalent here 13:47 and when Gordon loses it over bread.

[@BiscuitCatProductions]

LumityTrioE2 came up with that, to resemble blood pressure/pulse. It's a great little detail that adds so much to the characters :)

[@AceDrawingz]

I like that the conflict was able to be resolved in this episode, plus putting in a twist with Marklin actually trying to stop the conflict themselves, but being unable to, since they can't really phrase things properly.

[@TankEngineMedia]

This one was a really good episode. My favorite scene has to be the shed scene with all the engines, I was not expecting Edward to raise his voice; things get serious if Edward voice is that loud. I enjoyed this one a lot!

[@Spicing_up_theoldspice]

James:"The head of lettuce is in my birth," Percy:"Why do u keep calling me vegetable name" James:"Shut it cucumber "

[@IndianaNorthWestern]

I just randomly found this video, binged the whole series, and found a thomas related media that is actually funny, really good, and not mindless garbage compared to almost everything else out there, good job. We also love non binary representation in any and all content.

[@AlongPreservedLines]

This was genuinely awesome! I love where this series is going and your own takes on the pre-existing stories, in my opinion this is hands down one of the best Thomas series on KZbin, well done!

[@Eccofury787]

Wait a minute is Henry regaining his 4th wall Breaking abilities due to him hearing the background music at 1:57

[@Dominic_812]

I think it’s just the narrator picking Henry as Thomas isn’t there and yes I know that before Thomas came the narrator picked Henry

[@thatboy5751]

I think Henry and Thomas are special since they can hear the narrator.

[@altimotheus819]

I like how this version of Edward gives off Sherlock Holmes vibes, given his ability to create a narrative of the recent non-ordinary events on the railway by taking each and every perspective into account.

[@broaisland9003]

Absolutely love the use of Doctor Who music in this one.

[@auraknight1004]

Which soundtrack of Doctor Who was used for this video whenEdward was talking about Marilyn?

Jeez this has got to be one of the best episodes you produced. Things were about to get juicy between Thomas and Gordon. To be fair Thomas has made some valid points about the bigger engines and when Edward shouted i was like "man if you get Edward upset and curse then you fucked up really bad."

[@NwrDuck]

Bless me this was AMAZING! I love how real the banter was! They all kept throwing insults at each other until it escalated to a boiling point and the nice guy lost his temper. I love it how everyone's faces drops when Edward does that! Also, good job on wirting Marklin! At first, I too thought they somewhat gaslit Thomas and the Big engines as an act of retaliation since they're usually seen lurking with an angry expression, but them trying to be a mediator, to keep the peace also seems feesable since they probably care about the railway. Then again, they have been lurking, so who knows what their intentions are (except you, duh) P.S. love the intro and how self aware Henry is, love to see it!

Respect for Edward

[@Van_of_Trouble]

I wonder how crossed lines would be adapted..? Despite the fact that it's not even close in this part of the timeline, it'd probably be hilarious to see everyone mocking James and making fun of him for it. He'd probably start crying over the signal and the engines mocking him.

[@onetrackmind3558]

The ending was intense and wholesome.

[@trainmaster36productions]

The Doctor Who soundtrack from series 5 works really well here; it's really nice. Also like that (it seems) most engines go by they/them.

[@LumityTrioE2]

We can thank ATropicalMango for the soundtrack picks. And also yeah, most engines in this series do go by they/them unless they decide otherwise. It’s all about chosen identity really

[@trainmaster36productions]

@@LumityTrioE2 Yeah, it's all really awesome. I always like it when I hear other media soundtracks in fan productions (especially DW, it just fits with both being British productions). I also like the engines going by they/them, fits with just logistical reasoning (they're engines), but also a nice way to have chosen identity and rep.
