Percy has been chosen to collect an important train of perishable goods from The Mainland! Unfortunately, Percy hasn’t exactly the best track record with food trains… no pun intended.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Well folks, after a year and a half of working on and off for this episode, it’s finally here. The earliest footage I shot specifically for this episode dates back to Summer 2019, with the most recent footage shot literally YESTERDAY. Since 2019, I’ve been piecing this episode together bit by bit, scene by scene, but I finally managed to complete the last half during the past two weeks.
Of my three full episodes so far, this one is definitely my favorite. It’s also the first episode in my series to feature a completely original story, rather than being loosely based on Wikia articles or magazine stories.
Producing this episode has been quite the adventure, and I sincerely hope you enjoy it. Although it took WAY longer than expected to complete, I thank you all very much for the support over the past year while you waited.
A special thanks to James Ambry / jamostrainos for their amazing 3D model of a Gauge 1 Tenmille 7 Plank Wagon: www.thingivers....
Special thanks to TomsProps and Thomas&Twilight2001 for uploading the reference sheets of the troublesome truck faces, which you can find on Thomas The Tank Engine Wikia.
Special thanks to my dad and little brother for helping to build numerous sets, film traveling shots, and painting several miniature props. The best scenes and shots would not have been possible without their help.
And last but not least, a special thanks to YOU for watching! Until next time!

I loved the whole: "They demolished David" bit, it had me in stitches! Another fantastic episode! Cheers, and keep up the good work!

[@SootyWill]

Thank you so much!! Glad it made you laugh! XD

[@blairterry9435]

Me too!

[@HarleyQuinn-ul3gr]

Poor dave:(

[@HarleyQuinn-ul3gr]

And did you plan for David to get demolished?🤔

[@HarleyQuinn-ul3gr]

Scooty well, why was there a wooden railway Ferdinand when percy collected his train?

[@blairterry9435]

At 8:46 looks like Percy lives up to his title of King of Accidents.

[@thesudriana016]

Hooray! This series is back again boyz! Brilliant and funny episode! The way you've written Percy's character in this one is absolutely stunning when he was determined not to get into another accident when pulling that food train. The trucks cracked me up along with the crash scene (mostly with James covered in blueberries), and I like the custom Vicarstown Station! Poor David! LOL!

[@SootyWill]

Thank you very much!! Yes, it was nice to write a story where the main character isn't necessarily in the "wrong" like James or Thomas usually are. And thanks! I'm glad people liked the Vicarstown and crash scenes. The trucks dialogue was also a blast to record. SO much improv had to be cut out just because I couldn't squeeze it all in. Thanks again for watching. I always enjoying seeing your kind comments. :)

[@EngineShedStudios]

How have I not discovered this series yet? I love everything about this. The characters banter, the story, the humor, everything. Outstanding job on this!

[@SootyWill]

Thank you so much!! So happy you liked it! Really appreciate all the kind comments. :)

[@LUCADOLLAR]

I love this! Okay? Love this! It was definitely funny from beginning to end, especially with the trucks’ silly antics! And poor David. XD Also, Percy’s determination was wonderful, and how he did his best with his train, and still managed to please everyone. So, all in all, kudos!

[@SootyWill]

Thank you very much!! I had to listen to the dialogue over and over while I was editing, so by the end I wasn't sure if the trucks were actually funny anymore, so I'm really glad to hear you liked it! And yes, I feel like I need to bring back David at some point. Every time I stream the episode everyone goes "NOO DAVID" 😂

[@brocomotive]

Now that was really sweet, what a great ensemble episode between Percy, James and Thomas. I love it when the characters are held accountable for their words and have to make amends, and I love that the accident wasn't due to any negligence Percy's part. The truck dialogue was hilarious too!! 😂😂 That was also a really great moral, fantastic work!!

[@SootyWill]

Aw thank you so much! I was really happy with the moral for this ep, so I'm glad you liked it! Glad the trucks are still funny too - I can never tell after I've heard the same jokes over and over while editing haha Thanks again for the kind words! :)

5:14/6:17 Funnily enough, for my Robertverse, Perry is the name of an OC who represents Percy from the AEG series (5:13 not to mention that he was called Percival once in that show).

Percy was worried that Sir Topham Hatt would be extremely cross, and yell out loud to him, and have him scrapped

Geez James. Do you have to remind Percy of those accidents?

Percy ran so quickly to push the freight cars carrying fruit, and smashed them into the buffers first, and Percy went so fast over the railroad crossing, and Thomas crashed into the freight cars carrying fruit and derailed while chugging along with Annie and Clarabel second.

[@SootyWill]

@@supremegalaxycentral Haha yes! One of my favorite scenes in any of my videos - glad you liked it! Do you mean the music when Percy passes the signal and during the crash?

[@supremegalaxycentral]

@@SootyWill I meant the one from when the theme starts and then cuts to the trucks trying to figure out Percy’s name, if that clears anything up 🤣
