Calling All Engines - RE-SHORTS | Special Compilation

[@chandlerbranchrailfanprodu5928]

10:30 in my headcanon, this is the last we see of the “careless Thomas”. Because before this you’d think Thomas would have learned after Seasons 1-4. But this is what causes him to change his ways when he realizes he’s gone too far. This takes place after Tramway Engines as air travel was ramping up in the 1960s.

Props to this man for not only creating his own vision of the film but making it into reality. Many say how they would made it better if they could themselves, but only few actually go through with that.

[@thenebulaxyz8849]

Yeah, and the music makes things better. Especially at James apology to Diesel 10, and the steamies working with the Diesels, and the plane landing at the end. Well done, mate.

[@PurpleTrainPictures]

I f*cking love that the trucks go “Smash goes the Diesel!” before he crashes into Tidmouth Sheds 😂

[@RWSfan2024]

It reminds me of Paul Vid’s Roly short that parodied The Incredible Hulk tv Show from the late 70’s-early 80’s and now I can hear Diesel saying “Diesel Smash!”

​@@CarterNelson-l4lWhat's the reference

[@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho]

Honestly, Emily’s rant against Thomas here is what he needed in SLOTLT. Maybe from Duck to Thomas following the dynamite incident? I dunno, it just feels like Brenner intentionally backpedaled Thomas’s development so he could give him his biggest missteps ever. Topham’s honestly perfect in SLOTLT, though.

[@Twinmill69227]

Yeah, Topham was understandably angry

[@MCstudio1274]

I agree 110%.

[@AbbeyYard]

And then people have the gall to defend Thomas like he's an angel and can do no wrong.

[@Anchovistic]

Having James as part of the main role was the smartest idea you've ever had, Luke! Love the Trampy-style skits and this feels like a classic series.

[@AppalachianRailfan99]

This may sound weird, but, your voice is calming, it’s not in your face or loudly spoken. That’s one of the many reasons I enjoy your content.

[@subtosmileythecooldog]

True

[@bradleyconrad2141]

Man, if only Gullane or whoever ran Thomas in the early 2000’s made this as the finale of the classic era of Thomas, or even the finale of the TV series, this would’ve been the best finale of the model series. The end of Thomas and James’ arc, the end of the steam vs diesel arc, and above all things, the movie or special that had a grand end. You did a fantastic job on all the shorts that made a fantastic scene by scene mini film, and I could imagine if there was an entire script or added scenes in the special to make one big film. But anyways, this was fantastic, absolutely fantastic!

[@fanofeverything30465]

That would have been perfect 🥰

Am I the only one who noticed Britney Spears' Toxic playing at Knapford? As a former Britney fan, that's cool. 👌

[@usualblokeluke]

Fun bit of trivia That song was originally meant to be playing in the background of the original short as if on the station radio Wanted a song to distinguish this special was taking place in 2005

[@Zacman1123]

I heard it too

[@olivermensinger6022]

Me ypo

[@thomaswatkiss9484]

This is the best voice for james I've heard and that he has been made the main instead of Thomas is the best part

[@1471SirFrederickBanbury]

Its hilarious how everyone in the Hitt era forgot that the branchline sheds, where Thomas Toby and Percy usually reside, is right next to the roundhouse, not to mention the large carriage shed. Also what king of signalman would line a mainline train (well a train expected to only go 15 mph, diesel's top speed) into the sheds! Thankfully, due to the way you made the video, it can be interpreted that diesel came into the Tidmouth block far sooner than expected, which caught the signalman off guard, being lined into a siding, running through some old buffers or something, into the back of the roundhouse, with the long, heavy train piling up and also downing the 2 other sheds, which would fix most of the integral issues. Great job anyways Luke.

[@dougsfilmtv9810]

That was great! I will say I had a good laugh when I heard Toxic by Britney Spears playing in the background at Knapford Station. I love how you got the tracks in the Re-Shorts. Since we are close to the 80th Anniversary of Thomas, I could see Trampy adapting all of your shorts and make a full-on movie based on your shorts.

[@genesisrailfan1507]

James as a main lead in your CAE rewrite a nice change of pace, because as if you may know Wilbert Awdry made a subtle dynamic of James and the Diesels, Chris tried to make a James makes an alliance with diesels but it didn't work ultimately, here in your CAE rewrite this gives James the realization he was a c*nt to the diesels until this point, so here this whole "James allies with the diesels." made sense.

[@SpookyFlare75]

I absolutely love this its basically a calling all engines version of Trampy's series and the end was so emotional

[@Matthew-oi6kz]

I LOVED this, and I loved the touch of adding Thomas' Anthem in the Epilouge

[@seancaffrey8153]

My favourite part was Diesel's little rant on steamies going up the hill, and the runaway afterwards. The Wallace & Gromit train chase music from The Wrong Trousers was the icing on the cake for me!

Luke, this is absolutely incredible! I absolutely love how you’ve taken the movie’s story and wrapped it around James and his underutilized arc with understanding diesels! Even with that aside, this overall is such a fantastic take on Calling All Engines! I love Thomas and Emily’s conversation too, I hate how Emily’s growth was retconned in the film so having her compensate with Thomas was beautiful to see. I also love the little bits of Edward saying goodbye to the sheds and Gordon losing his dome. Needless to say, this came out wonderfully and you did such an amazing job!

[@thesudriana016]

Nice to see all re-shorts combined into one compilation! I love that extended part at the beginning where we actually get a full glimpse into Diesel crash into Tidmouth Sheds - I laughed so hard when the trucks said 'Smash Goes the Diesel!'

[@brandonadam7167]

This is probably the best "fan film" someone in the community has ever made. Even without the visuals or a narrator, I could vividly imagine this story playing out and feel the weight of the scenes very much. You did an outstanding job with the dialogue, character voices, sound effects and music in the background to set the tone, suspense, or action of the scenes. Calling All Engines should've been this 100%, hope this gets more views!

[@jacobrumens9601]

The use of the Wallace & Gromit Train Chase Theme when the trucks push Diesel was a perfect choice of a runaway theme! Now I feel like adapting 2 of these shorts now; that and Very Cross-ed Lines! In all seriousness though Luke, very well done to you 😊❤

[@jayheadley8061]

Why couldn't the actual show make stories like that anymore?! That is what Calling All Engines should have been like! I really love how you've combined that film with James and the Diesel Engines in the Railway Series, giving both Thomas and James character development as well as making Emily more likeable.

[@notcdyvids]

That was the best retelling of the story ever, its amazing, and keep on steaming!

[@ThomasTheorist]

I'm so sorry I missed this! I was working away on the next video, but I must say bravo! I really love the Thomas / James have a brother like dynamic, intresting seeing James take a larger role in the movie since HE was the one with the diesel issues in the railway series, MUCH better than the final movie IMO

[@usualblokeluke]

Thank you!!! Hope your work on your next video is going well

[@tobbs5410]

The voice acting is fantastic, reminds me a lot of the style of dialogue in TUGS. Also that editing between 'pieces of' and 'shunting' was perfect - now that's how you do subtle adult humour in kid's media.

I’m guessing Diesel 10 has an American Accent because of Magic Railroad.

Oh, I just got my creative juices pumping. Here's my partial rewrite of what the trucks would have sung while pushing Diesel if had they went with a full song sequence callback: The Airport waiting to be done, while working on it with ease'll, 'We'll show the world what we can do,' gaily boasts the Diesel. In and out he creeps about, like a big black weasel. But once the trucks start pushing back, 'Smash!' goes the Diesel.

[@edwardcarlisle5580]

I absolutely loved this! It's fantastic! You're a great storyteller that understands how Thomas and Friends works. I do hope that one of these days you go ahead and finish the rest of this story and release it as your own complete fan-made movie. I'd say you've already tackled the hard parts, the most important scenes, including the whole end of the movie. Just these scenes, put together, make a run time of 39 minutes and 45 seconds. All thats really missing are your take on three opening scenes: an introduction of the Island of Sodor with Thomas and his friends, Sir Topham Hatt announcing the new airport being built with all the engines being excited, and Thomas and James' first trick on Arry and Bert. Those three scenes aliyng with a few small tie in scenes such as the steam engines all find other places to sleep and James having a nightmare about him and his friends all being scrapped and thats it. The movie would be complete with a run time of an hour and maybe a few extra minutes.
