T:TTA - Episode 36 - Ballast Bother

Lola returns to Sodor and is officially bought by The Fat Controller to be Ryan’s brake-van, but Toad begins to worry that she might not be able to handle all of her jobs when she has to work with the ballast trucks.
At long last, Lola has returned to the series and is officially a part of the North Western Railway! I hope you all enjoy the story were we able to come up with!

So happy Lola has got to return in such a fantastic episode. Holly and I are both honoured, and the new model looks great. Makes me glad I don't sound like my Toad impression in real life though! Great job mate. Look forward to the next one!

[@ilikecheeseilikecheese727]

I think you were a good actor good job

[@blazingswordsman5410]

Hey Terrier55Stephney, would you like to be a voice actor in my Pokémon XYZ Love Story audio stories? Holly can take part too.

So happy you and Holly got together again! Hope you had a good New Year’s so far

[@danielboone3770]

I'm glad Top Hatt is scolding the trucks for their love of causing trouble at last.

[@DavidScholz-bu1ix]

SAME HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALTHOUGH, IT'S ABSOLUTELY QUITE INSANELY CLEARLY CLEAR WHATSOEVER 'BOUT IT IN MY OWN OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL THOUGHTFULLY THOUGHTFUL OPINION TO ME THAT THOSE TROUBLESOME TRUCKS CERTAINLY WON'T EVER LEARN TO BEHAVE 'ROUND THE OTHER ENGINES NO COMPLETE MATTER WHAT THEY ACTUALLY SEEM TO DO ANYWAY!!!!!! WELL, ON THE EXTREMELY BRIGHT SIDE, IT'S ABSOLUTELY QUITE INSANELY MORE THAN REALLY GOOD ENOUGH TO HAPPILY KNOW THAT @ LEAST A SPECTACULARLY STERNLY STERN SCOLDING CONVERSATION FROM SIR TOPHAM HATT A K A THE FAT CONTROLLER HIMSELF CERTAINLY MIGHT PUT 'EM IN THEIR OWN OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL DISAPLANT PLACE ONCE-AND-FOR-ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DavidScholz-bu1ix]

FINALLY, IT'S 'BOUT TIME!!!!!

[@JZJ7777]

I know! Finally the trucks get their just deserts, not just the engine pulling them!

[@princesslayla2090]

I totally agree with you, trucks are nothing but trouble

[@cheukyinglau8011]

Great job! Sir Topham Hatt actually scolds the trucks instead of blaming Ryan and Lola!

[@Trainboy55]

And S.C. Ruffey too?

[@brianfalzon6739]

Yes, that should teach Scruffy and the trucks a lesson to never biff and bash engines like that ever again! Well done, Sir Topham Hatt!

[@kennethdelbridge5444]

What do you all expect those trucks and Scruffy always put engines and there crews in danger they diverted to be punished

[@CraneProductions27]

Great story and what a delight to see Lola back on Sodor. Didn't expect to see Scruffey make a come back and what a crash that was for Ryan and Lola. Plus, Lola speaking to Toad like that at the sheds was unexpected. I loved Lola's voice, Holly did a splendid job :) .

[@eliotreader8220]

so Scuffy has become a old wise ballast truck since Oliver pulled him apart by accident?

[@DarthWill3]

Welcome back, Lola! And S.C. Ruffey, how we have missed you!

[@NATETHEMATE2nd]

17:16 The workman right there is just like: Wow that's a coupling

[@nossta5242]

LOL

[@ryanburges3154]

The return of Scruffy was quite a surprise. What if sir Topham hatt four out it was all Scruffy’s idea of the mess at Wellsworth,

[@neat5374]

15:22 I think this was the part

[@jovialpictures1997]

Love the model of S.C.Ruffey, it looks like a CGI styled S.C.Ruffey, if he appeared the actual series. I feel you’re continuing the CGI series well

[@engineboy53productions15]

This episode is amazing. It’s so great to see Lola again after so long. And S.C. Ruffey as well.

[@thedonutkie]

3:07 I know it doesn't really matter, but I like that Gordon's pulling a goodstrain, while James is pulling what I think is the Express, that's a fun little easter egg

[@alfa1134]

HA! Thomas's closing disclaimer had me laughing!

[@stuartbarclay7940]

Same here!😆

[@UsefulEngine11]

Great episode Nathan. It's so awesome to see Lola back. And the return of Scruffy I was definitely not expecting that. Also I got to love it the ballast spreader makes an appearance too. I can't wait to see more episodes.

[@Sleepingguitah]

I like the ballast spreader in this, I also like the rest of the video too, feels like something straight out of season 20

[@Drockthe3rd]

End Credits Be Like: Thomas swears after saying something is for a general audience and other stories

[@Nightmare_52]

lolas colors fit so well together with ryan, great work

[@ThomasOfSodor_1]

I love that Toad said “Mr Ryan” idk if it’s a reference but I like to think it is.

[@stepneyhenrypetersam1395]

“Thanks for watching the fucking video” was way funnier than it should be

[@pk_arcfire]

Hype to see S.C.Ruffy and Sodor Ballast Spreader!

[@jamesthomas5109]

Big fan of the brakevans on the Arlesdale railway, would love to see one turned into a character in future. 🚂

[@onetrackmind3558]

Nice to see Lola and S.C.Ruffy.

[@ahmirproductions]

This was an epic episode, Nathan! You can make almost any character work in your series! Loved the return of Lola, and S.C.Ruffey aswell!

[@ThomasTenCents34526]

It’s nice to see Lola again.

[@SteamTeam3211]

Thrilled with how this one turned out! I don't really know what else to say that hasn't been said already so here's a couple of pieces of trivia: The old truck is named Nathaniel after ilovetrains323 (obviously) and in the script I named the Ballast Spreader "Barney". S.C.Ruffey's voice was absolutely perfect (dunno how Chase comes up with these voices, I really don't) and Holly absolutely nailed her performance as Lola. Wonderful episode to be involved with!

[@loganwirth4146]

So great Lola and scruffy are back and Thomas dropped the f bomb love it to bits

[@evanclarke5561]

Finally, an episode where either manager of Sodor's railways reprimands the trucks. The Fat Controller was right to rap them. I give this episode 9/10. It would've been funnier if an engine who's never destroyed a truck like either James or Henry pulled apart Nathaniel by accident. Will there be an episode where Rickety and Hector appear?

[@KameronCousin]

This is an awesome episode Nathan! Glad to see that Lola has returned! :D

[@amitysluzara2022]

This was a great reintroduction to Lola

[@jacobmorgan7203]

The troublesome trucks had the next morning to go on strike :(

[@zacharyspinks6207]

A Really Great Job on this Story!, also Welcome back Lola, and a Great Surprise S.C. Ruffey is Back.

[@mrq4292]

Wow thats dope the ballest spreader from the RWS Books great episode.

[@georgebendall7401]

i like that the Fat Controller is scolding the Troublesome Trucks for once instead of blaming the Engines

[@explodingtoast9898]

The end credit scene is amazing 😂 never thought I’d hear Thomas swear

[@JurgenYongJY96]

Excellent episode, this is wonderful, looked forward to your next episode soon!

[@TheEerieMaster]

Scruffy sounds like a mob boss, that's amazing 🤣

[@SaulsSodor]

Can’t wait I bet it’s gonna be great as always

[@wolfzillaproductions4563]

Wasn’t expecting Scruffy to appear in a CGI style. These videos are doing the CGI era justice!

[@eliotreader8220]

its very interesting to see Lola has returned to the NWR again and she's now going to be working with a certain Purple tank engine on Sodor

[@redtankengine35]

YOOO ep 6 (i think) was awsome! Keep up the good work!👍🏾👍🏾

[@youchoob8090]

“I knew the ballast was urgent, but I didn’t think it was that urgent” Alternative: “I knew the Ballast was Urgent, but I wasn’t expecting express delivery” Alternative 2: “I knew the Ballast was needed badly, but the way you came in I thought Gordon was coming through” Alternative 3: “Talk about speedy delivery”

[@1225polarexpress]

Woah wasn’t expecting that one from Thomas at the end

[@jacobwilcox8659]

13:52 Now look you done you silly troublesome trucks! You derailed the ballast train!

[@abbeyroadfan94-J.P]

Awesome job Nathan

[@steam-powered-cyborg]

It is immensely satisfying to see Lola get some development, and S.C. Ruffey get some vengeance. Also it's funny how only one VA was actually singing the infamous 'We Shall Not be Moved' at 12:00. How well known is that song overseas?

[@SteamTeam3211]

That was me. I'm British and assumed that chant was universal so that's why I wrote it. It still works but that's why I sound different from everyone else :P

[@steam-powered-cyborg]

@@SteamTeam3211 Haha, should've known honestly. I know DarthRatBat's American and I heard him reference it in one of his Rifftrains vids. I guess he just heard of it from his British friends.

[@fishpop]

6:13 Oh hey, it's the ballast-layer!

[@todddavis2041]

Very good. I liked this one!

[@flashstudiosguy]

S.C.Ruffy:"We're going on strike!" Liberty Prime: "COMMUNISTIC ACTIVITY DETECTED! BETTER DEAD THEN RED!" S.C.Ruffy: I_I

[@olikundraxhi3054]

Hopefully you can do a Monty Python-style video someday! That would be "something completely different" now would it? 😜

[@sudrianrailwaystudios676]

That was excellent!

[@PrimalTheLegendaryHedgehog]

First Henry was the sneezing engine, now Edward who's next?

[@nathanielcruz6675]

Nathaniel, that old truck, has my name.

[@Itz_Sonic57053]

S.C Ruffey sounds like your average Mob Boss from the 1930s. I like that because he represents himself as the Boss

[@eliotreader8220]

so Scruffy has become a wise e elder since Oliver pulled him apart by accident

[@nycolasgabriel5082]

I like the New engines bro 😀

[@Ryder-a-Blaze]

I love the funny moments

[@olikundraxhi3054]

Great Job ilovetrains323!

Ballast spreader was the chillest engine I’ve ever seen “This is gonna hurt”

Edward: Incoming!!!

[@ForrestHanchar-dz8so]

(Ryan crashes into the ballast spreader & causes a major accident.)

[@ForrestHanchar-dz8so]

Edward: Ouch!!! I knew it was going to happen! (Groans)

[@horatioyen256]

nice episode and yay it has comments

[@michaelfeldman-budarick9295]

This is my favourite episode of all time Ryan is my favourite engine

[@bluebellsfan8704]

Awesome episode!

[@MIATAENJOYERR]

oh no! our truck! its broken

[@ryleeculla5570]

The trucks get treated very badly getting bumped cause some cheating amongst each other heck maybe Edward is the only one that knows how to treat trucks fairly

[@marvelmorgan8269]

Then there was trouble for Ryan and Donald!

[@AlfredB12Studios]

16:16 I didn't know engines can sneeze also I think you got ballast dust up his nose

[@stephenfarthing3819]

Scruffy - the problem truck! Definitely trouble ahead.

[@WelshGiraffa]

I like we got to see the Ballast Spreader but Scruffy hoho well played

[@petersylvester6991]

So let’s me this straight scruffy is back on the island after he got ripped apart

[@ilovetrains323]

he never left the island?

[@Twinmill69227]

Did Thomas just CURSE?!

[@waifumaster6882]

S.C.Ruffey be like: "We live in a Railway"

[@austingelberg310]

Looks like scruffy did not learned his lesson after all these years.

[@Spark-lj6ft]

I bet the Troublesome Trucks warned Scruffey to behave in front of Hector or Bradford to make sure the Trucks don’t cause trouble for an engine who takes them out

[@onetrackmind3558]

Very enjoyable.

[@tyhik9338]

Man this is nice

[@Spark-lj6ft]

I bet the Troublesome Trucks warned Scruffey not to play tricks on neither Edward, Stepney, Salty or Hiro since they’re experienced with trucks and neither Donald or Douglas after Douglas had squashed the Spiteful Brake Van into pieces

[@kompst_tu]

Love the outro

[@jamesthomas5109]

Looks like S.C.ruffey has become quite the celebrity among those pesky trucks.

[@multifan75]

This is gonna be awesome!

[@jamesthomas5109]

Old Nathanael...damn. 💥 He reminds me of Kermit the frog 🐸 when he speaks, he sounds like a genuinely good truck.

[@douglasprobst5677]

Yeah, he should definitely get an overhaul...

[@fishpop]

After the crash I half expected the ballast-spreader to say something like "I know new ballast is meant to be laid down here but not quite like THIS Ryan..." EDIT: 16:29 Nevermind...

[@arthurvieira9938]

I like then toad and lola be together ❤😊

[@Slime.tsunami]

Scruffy sounds like the joker!

[@maley2552]

I wish I could do this with my PC, the models are amazing

[@Hagem76]

[@JtheGamer1881]

Please do a sequel where the scruffey and the other truck make up and make friends with Ryan and Lola

[@finelineguy8733]

Yeah. I’d also like to see Nathaniel there too

[@nicholassantos7057]

Wow man this video it looks really nice so cool by the way

[@emmanuelchavis5415]

The Troublesome Trucks better do as told. If they don't be trouble with Sir Topham Hatt

[@darkangelproductions448]

The poor spreader can't catch a break and hope to see a episode about him
