North Western | Thomas and the Trucks

[@Dead_Channel_Pretty_Much]

This, THIS is how Thomas being a nice guy right from the very beginning can work! Cant wait to see how he earns his branchline (i think you've earned a subscription)

[@TrainsAreReallyCool]

I really like this realistic take on the Railway Series books. Keep up the good work!

[@DDJP]

Thanks!

[@SteamingWestwardsProductions]

Another lovely adaptation mate, really enjoying your spin on the RWS!

[@AgenoriaModelTrains]

Loving these renditions of The Railway Series. I think the next episode may probably feature a certain red engine.

[@vulcan_thunder]

I really like the subtle changes made to all the characters

[@DDJP]

Cheers! Do you mean in prototype, or in characterisation?

[@That1person810]

finally a thomas adaptation that make sense throughout the story

[@DDJP]

Mostly makes sense at least, I hope!

[@jackthedragon612]

Great to see another episode of this series and I look forward to the next one.

[@DDJP]

Glad your enjoying it!

[@rottenroads1982]

I wonder how TheUnluckyTug will react to this. I bet he would find this great to watch.

[@gregoryandrews4956]

I'm sure he would.

[@Twiggystix4470]

FUCK YEAH, MORE NORTH WESTERN!

[@LukeOfSodor22]

I just realised this kinda teases Percy coming to the series as Charles mentions that the LMS is leasing a pilot at Vicarstown and since Percy is a CR 262 class in this series then he would be under LMS ownership

[@DavidScholz-bu1ix]

FIZZLIN' FIREBOXES, WHAT A SPECTACULARLY SPECTACULAR MASTERPIECE IF YOU CERTAINLY WERE ABSOLUTELY QUITE INSANELY GOOD ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY ASK ME FOR MY OWN OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL COMPLETELY COMPLETE EXTREMELY THOUGHTFULLY THOUGHTFUL OPINION ANYWAY FOR SURE!!!!!

[@bskorupk]

​just premiring, and 24 likes, well done! :)

[@TheJinxedBlackstarOfSodor]

Love it ❤😊

[@liladoodle]

So who is the next character that will be introduced in 'North Western' and how soon will we see them?

[@IVATTMOGUL]

James

[@codyfinkelstein7884]

James should be next in book order

[@DDJP]

James is indeed next to be introduced!

[@liladoodle]

​@@DDJPI'll take a guess & say that James will be introduced, have some early interactions with the current cast, then things will go straight into the events of 'Thomas and the Breakdown Train".

[@DDJP]

@@liladoodle pretty much spot on. Guess youll have to wait and see...

[@notexan182]

I love the series, please don't get me wrong. But why did you choose to make Thomas not an E2 Tank engine? I know they weren't quite reliable but at least in the books that was written quite well into his backstory/background? Keep up the good work with the series! love it :)

[@DDJP]

Thanks! Ive never really liked E2s personally and feel that thecE4 makes more sense, as it has a longer range and could be seen on mixed traffic branch duties irl, unlike the E2. Also its cooler!

[@notexan182]

@@DDJP yep, makes sense! (They are pretty cool)

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

Thomas with trailing wheels still gives me the brain itch. Like, I'm all for Thomas as a different class of locomotive, but non 0-6-0 Thomas Just feels weird. Still love this series, though.

[@DDJP]

At least he still has his Brighton origins!

[@mallikaarachchilageneelajm5112]

At least an E4 makes more practical sense than an E2 Class considering Thomas’ role. The E4s also acted as good station pilots and were capable of reliably handling longer distance trains compared to the E2s.

[@normanschenck3091]

this is a nice change from the Dark Railways series. Is this just a break from the Dark railway series. Or a parament change?

[@briannemackey8625]

In The Real Thomas and the Trucks Thomas switch jobs with Edward Become He get fed up of Being A Station Pilots.

[@MaxwelltheE4]

Would your Thomas be built in 1903?

[@Franciszek1099_Pl]

I have a question what route are you using?

[@joshuaW5621]

Are you Scrapyard Studios or is he narrating these stories for you?

[@DDJP]

No?
