What can I say, other than this was spectacular. I love how you can take a character like Billy and give him such character development and making him learn humility. Really shows how each character can always have their time to shine. Shoutout to TheTurntable 2002 for the amazing score and Caleb for the awesome thumbnail. Hats off to the voice cast, assistant directors and animators too. I wonder what that bit was with Charlie about at the end? Hope you had a great Thanksgiving Matt! Can't wait for the next one! 0:30 Why do I picture a side story about Billy's visit to the dentist? 8:53 - 9:10 Looks like Max and Monty are mucking about again 9:15 That could be taken out of context

[@spongebobcoolduke1537]

And then he meets his brother Charlie and becomes a comedian like him and along with shunting and utility work, sets up a comedy club near knapford station where the engines do some comedy act.

[@comicfan1324]

“Billy had damaged his side rods” The Model: “What is a side rod?”

[@Calebtrain]

I never thought I’d be laughing at “let me take my dumps in peace” in a Thomas video-only EE93 could pull that off! So many fun decisions to be praised here, that traveling montage is especially a standout. Well done to you and the effects team on a great episode!

[@Steamenginesunited3456]

You were right about that dentist gag. If the folks over at Suddery Smiles had a dance group then I wonder what their signature moves would be...the floss perhaps

[@TheBlueSnowplow]

Everything you do is a marvel! We love you, Billy

[@Enterprisingengine93]

Thank you Griffin!!

[@TheBlueSnowplow]

@@Enterprisingengine93see u soon x

[@JintyandPugFan20]

1:10 I like how Murdoch had enough of Billy's childish whining

[@abbeyroadfan94-J.P]

amazing job Matt, love how The fat controller was tricked into buying Charlie not knowing how a pain he'll be with the terrible jokes

[@brenlc1412]

The montage of Oliver, Ned and Billy talking was absolutely phenomenal, hats off to you

[@Enterprisingengine93]

You can thank 10Leigh10 for that! Really took it to the next level in every way

[@TinesSensahthe]

Ah, yes, Billy is once again bein' silly - but this time, he learns his lesson not by being punished, but by becoming a passenger himself! Really liked that conclusion to his arc in this episode. Although who knows what kind of chaos will be unleashed if/when Billy and that mysterious purple engine at the end meet up... Stellar work once again, good sir!

[@aliminator1310]

I like how Billy learned by example, rather than just being told what he did was wrong.

[@epiclafiteau]

This was so good! I love the Pack and the interactions with Billy are so fun. Also loved the unique editing throughout!

[@eduardoaguero1220]

Can I just say how much I adore the use of these characters people have tossed aside? Like no character is completeley unsalvagable, ad Billy is a fun example of this, in a weird way I can imagine a redo of the logging locos, like imagine Bash and Dash as narrow gauge engines oh! Side note but you ever notice how similar Billy and Murdoch's liveries are?

[@Ryder-a-Blaze]

I’m eating butter chicken right now, Butter Chicken Billy sounds like a great nickname for him.

[@visionarylocomotiveworks9703]

I'm always happy to see more episodes that heavily focus on the Pack, and I think this might be both your first speaking role for Ned in your series, and one of my personal favorite uses of Nelson in fan content. A simple but fun story about everyone's favorite entitled brat character. Also, I love how Topham got suckered into buying another troublesome saddle tank soon after.

[@lukechristmas3951]

9:13 Oh, is he ever going to get a frying pan to the face for saying that! Probably one of the most adult lines ever to come from a fan-made Thomas story and I love it! Trampy is the best voice actor for Max and Monty! I like how this is a follow up to Don't Be Silly, Billy as well as a backstory for Charlie too. Really gives Billy some more character here. And being the only Sodor engine with stereotypical British teeth, the passenger giving Billy an card for an orthodontist was a welcome joke!

[@MadFrogFilms]

Friggin amazing all around. Every member of the crew made such natural additions, in particular Steve Garcia's animation and Turntable2002's score, both of which made me exclaim out loud in delight. I'm telling you guys, every episode of this fucking show is better than the last. WOW. Bravo.

[@kevinkeenan-2.1]

Love the special effects you did with not only the characters faces, but the signs that went by as Billy was traveling with Ned and Oliver. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Keep it up, looking forward to the next one.

[@setheatontheautobot4586]

9:13 HEY, I DON'T NEED YOU IN MY BUSINESS WOMAN!!! LET ME TAKE MY DUMPS IN PEACE!!!

[@jjmurdock99]

Awesome episode!!! Well done. I love how Billy learns humility at the end of it all.

[@Thomas1Edward2Henry3]

How long has this been in production? I remember sending those lines ages ago (I particularly love the OOF)!

[@Enterprisingengine93]

Over 3 years… thank you for bearing with me, and Thank you for being a terrific Ned! Really sold the crash.

[@fairlyoddenginecreations]

Loved the transition sequence with the characters' faces on signs, really clever! Just like this episode.

[@JoeyTurner476]

The comic book text effects were just icing on top ^^ excellently done as usual, and I like people doing something more PRACTICAL with Billy..... almost makes me not totally despise him :P

[@percyfan1006]

Great episode, plus I love how Charlie comes to Sodor in the end.

[@cybermurph04]

Another perfect episode. The ending was perfect!!!

[@JackDanaher2001]

This felt like a Brenner era episode. Awesome work!

[@Pyrotrainthing]

The montage of signs are amazing, and the post-credits scene is my second favorite part!

[@JoeyTurner476]

...also DANG IT, SIR TOPHAM!!! First with Henry, now with Charlie!!! You GOTTA stop falling for the first jokers that sweet talk you into buying a lemon engine!!

[@splodgestudios2638]

You know, if they did stories like this with billy in the show, I don't think he would be so hated.

[@drevianedwardsproductions9244]

Amazing story, great character development with Billy amazing music, amazing everything.

[@Enterprisingengine93]

Thank you so much!!

[@TankEngineMedia]

Billy is definitely not my favorite character (far from it) but in this episode he was for the most part tolerable and I’m glad he learns something in the end. But I got a feeling that Charlie is going to cause more trouble than Billy in a future episode. Happy Black Friday!

[@TrevortheTrainFan]

Agreed. As much as I dislike Billy, but at least he has flaws compared to Nia and Rebecca.

[@TracksideManiac]

This was an absolute fun watch!

[@Enterprisingengine93]

Thank you for watching!

[@gokumasteredultrainstinct1235]

The hole things with The Fatt Controler getting tricked to purches Charlie so his owners could be rid of him,it remides me of a simular thing when the Fatt Director was tricked in the same way to buy Henry in 1922.

[@MarkStudies-by9yh]

Billy on Board. I'd be adored!

[@amitysluzara2022]

Awesome story! I love how you handled Billy in this

[@Matscolinger7305]

“Hey I don’t need you in my business woman! Let me take my dumps in peace!” ._.

[@vicentelorenzoleza8835]

It’s nice to see T1E2H3 voicing characters on his channel again.

[@isaiahvang144]

Very interesting character dynamic between Billy and the Pack.

[@UsefulEngine11]

Fantastic work on this episode Matt. I had a feeling Billy, Max, and Monty would cause some sort of chaos. Also the foreshadowing with Charlie at the end oh my gosh! Keep up the good work man.

[@JustinFrazier_360]

Billy getting his own episode, so excited!

[@IsleofPigsStudios]

4:27 Reminds me of Spiderverse

[@Enterprisingengine93]

That was a big part of the inspiration!

[@thomasandlegofan]

Cool episode inteteresting idea to have the pack and billy meet waiting for charlies appearance

[@BlainesModels]

this actually happened to me in high school. Back then it was all about the game though. No matter what we stayed out there and played. but they didn't call it a "marching band" for nothing.

[@garrettsmith2776]

9:30-10:30 The Other Railway pranking the NWR with another annoying engine? SIGN ME UP!!

[@jeremiahsisaias8677]

Billy being spoiled for 10 minutes and other stories. Trampy is great at being goofy while voice acting. 🤣😂👍🔊🎙 It's been a long time since I've heard Thomas1Edward2Henry3 voice a character in somebody's channel. :)

[@OHNEY]

My gosh this is such a lovely idea for a story! It's real nice to see Billy get a redemption arc.

[@MrTrainerProductions]

That was amazing! Max and Monty did put Billy in the wrong direction. At least, Billy learned his lesson in the end. Trampy did phenomenal job voicing those Troublesome Dump Trucks.

[@loanedengineproductions]

The fact you got Trampy to voice Max and Monty is awesome, didn't know you knew him

[@theclickbaitmasster]

This was a good episode who knew Billy could actually be a likable character I guess he just had to play him, right

[@popularpaxton1827]

Another good episode! It was nice to see Neville, Molly, and Billy have speaking roles for the first time in a while. Speaking of Neville, is he still going to be having that identity crisis in later episodes of season 3? Hope you had a great thanksgiving. I look forward to the next episode and hopefully we’ll get some updates on Nowhere soon. :)

[@wildwind413]

Always great hearing Bespinguardstudio’s voice again

[@winnerd6766]

This is the best thing since sliced bread

[@Enterprisingengine93]

Even better than pulled pork fries with a dash of aioli

[@josef01880]

At least this is a good take on Billy

[@alanbeltran375]

Floating Signs are my favorite part

[@1stPeacePrize456]

This is going to be good

[@TheCuteJ50Kid]

I knew Trampy voiced Max and Monty in the first place! I know his voice too well!

[@wellsworthandsudderystudios]

That was a great episode!

[@honeybee8840]

Molly the Therapist 1:17

[@BillandBenProductions6792]

Amazing episode at least Billy learned his lesson at the end.

[@thelionandthelambstudio3154]

This is by far my favorite episode you have ever made, Matt. I always love to see the Pack and the scenery is just breathtaking. Best early Christmas present we’re gonna get this year

[@Nathann310]

Well done

[@Glitch_Diamond]

Another brilliant episode 👏👏👏

[@IsleofPigsStudios]

I really like the visuals of the scene where Billy, Ned and Oliver talk

[@MisterDanielTofu]

Rarely is there any fan stories on Billy. Though I must say, Billy on Board works pretty well for him. He works off Ned, Nelson and the rest of the Pack.

[@brianwelch-qq3ti]

Love everyone except one of the voice actresses who remains one of my enemies

[@onetrackmind3558]

This was wonderful. And that he learned from Nelson. Very interesting and clever.

[@mayohoskotwrandttte]

imagine if the brake coach on billys train had a bumper sticker for baby on board

[@I_like_planesandtrains860]

To be honest not my favourite episode but you always do AMAZING!

[@traintrack3761]

Really good video this was, I loved it!

[@shocksound9]

Fantastic episode! What can we expect next?

[@Enterprisingengine93]

Hopefully a season 3 episode!

[@shocksound9]

Excited to see!

[@elijahstevenson2546]

0:36 Everybody, cover your ears.

[@keldeostudies149]

A fun simple story i like this alot

[@PaulLynch826]

Silly Billy with MAX + MONTY 😱

[@TrevortheTrainFan]

Happy Black Friday, Matt! I hope you’ve had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday! 🦃

[@The_olleyton_guy]

0:20 he's british

[@Alfredsrandomstuff]

I can't wait for the ep

[@AdventuresOntherails]

Nice episode good job kudos to the actors

[@bespingaurdstudios]

I'm never going to dance again. Guilty feet have got no rhythm

[@Enterprisingengine93]

You should’ve known better than to cheat a friend

[@ryangriffin5362]

You know, sometimes I think about what it's like to work in insurance on the Island of Sodor.

[@Enterprisingengine93]

A prosperous enterprise to say the least!

[@noahcarlosthenumber12engin38]

Okay now that was a nice one and I like how you got Thomas1Edward2Henry3 to voice Ned

[@Enterprisingengine93]

He’s a legend

[@Mrjake01568]

Hey it’s Thomas1Edward2Henry3!

[@BranchlineEngines]

Great job on making an annoying character good. The first scene made me laugh, especially the part where the man throws the dentist card😂. Fantastic film! Very excited to see more!

[@Darryl1768]

Hi Matt. I watched the episode. I really enjoyed it I liked the humor and I really loved the visuals I really liked the facial animations I think the animation and cinamatography really improved I hope this keeps up I really love your series and content

[@trevortyrrell175]

Great job.

[@briandesens144]

Awesome video 😊

[@SomethingFishy101]

It’s peak!

[@Enterprisingengine93]

Thank you for pawning Charlie off to the Fat Controller!

[@mr.meloetta1939]

3:35 I see Max & Monty are taking a page out for Grunkle Stan's book

[@Chaoskoopa_767]

Don't tell me what to do

[@Enterprisingengine93]

I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to come across as a very bossy enterprising engine

[@enginenumber14]

The ending to this Episode was just Great

[@SteamyTheE4TankEngine]

Oh it's going to be good

[@jamesthomas5109]

Awesome video Matt 📹 👏 😊

[@dylanlyles9453]

It's nice to see Billy get his own episode, even though he's not a very good character. But I think he'd be better if he's referred to as William more often, it is his official name.

[@tylerthetankengine2699]

Amazing and I do love the I’ve been working on the railroad song by Murdoch and Hank and you and your friends are amazing making song from scratch how do you do it

[@Enterprisingengine93]

Thank you! It took me a long time to understand how to find the right pieces. I’d recommend learning about how music comes together, and either learning yourself, or meeting people with more expertise on those subjects to help and guide you

[@tylerthetankengine2699]

Your welcome and I also love to sing I wish I can help with some of the singing if you can find me a role

[@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho]

Billy gang? No. Nelson gang LETS GOOOOOOO

[@trainzman-harperman]

I sense a reference to The Be Sharps in this episode

[@Enterprisingengine93]

Billy on Board, I’d be adored

[@matese1912]

It’s interesting how how trampled voices Max and Monty but I feel that his Edward voice would suite Kelly

[@nickmarquez1533]

Billy is the equivalent of Eddy from Ed, Edd and Eddy

[@MrDankEngine1999]

This kinda reminds me of a video that would be made by Toy Trains 4u

[@IsleofPigsStudios]

0:30 Yea. Billy needs his teeth fixed.

[@billyjordan8588]

This should be interesting 😉

[@DuckShowStudios]

Wow this is an amazing Billy story! This and Annie C's movie no greater gift make me want to write a Billy story too. Your story is not notch. I love the voice acting too espeshely Billy and Ms Jenny. were Max and Monty voiced by Big Engine 87? Amazing job and hope you have a great day!
