Hey everyone! Welcome to Part 1 of the Character Gallery! Check out Part 2 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWGbmqdpptuLbaM You may remember my old Character Galleries for Thomas, Percy and James from 2021. Recently I was revising my footage, and I decided to make galleries for ALL my engines at the same time in a new, interactive format. In this video, you can use the numbers on your keyboard or the timestamps to select an engine gallery from the Main Menu. This was something totally different and experimental, but it was a lot of fun to make! Be sure to check out Part 2 with eight more engines, including new engines never before seen in my videos! And don’t forget to come back next weekend for a Behind-The-Scenes reel, featuring deleted footage, HD images, and every single take for every crash! See you again soon! -Sooty Will (and Sir Topham Hatt)

Couldn't fit everything all in one sentence, so I'll just split in a few characters on which scenes I like: Edward - I laughed at this scene where he blocked Bill and Ben from crashing into one another and their wheels are still turning!🤣 Henry - The recreated scene of Something in the Air really caught me off guard - though I hope the model wasn't too damaged or was there another model you used as a stunt double. Gordon - the sets for the lead mine and Kirk Ronan station are amazing. Really wish the latter was made in merchandise. Toby - I laughed so hard when the others are shocked out of their wits of him carrying the explosives/rocket while he just strolls contently like the neutral grandpa (oh hey custom Splodge). Duck - loved how you pulled off the crash in A Close Shave.

Thank you SO much for going out of your way to mention all these things! All of those shots are some of my favorites! So glad you laughed at the Edward and Toby shots - they were a lot of fun. The Close Shave crash took 17 takes until I was happy with it, so thanks for noticing! As for Henry - I managed to take his body shell off his chassis for that shot, though it was still a bit nerve-racking. I'm definitely getting more bold with what I put my engines through haha. This project is staring to flatline in terms of views, so this seriously means a lot! I hope you enjoy Part 2 (though please don't feel like you need to comment if you don't want to) :)

Goodness! There were so many things in this video that were absolutely fantastic. I’ve seen videos similar like this before, except the viewer never had the option to actually interact with the video itself. There was so much eyecandy in the sets, and the fact that the footage reflected to the dialogue being spoke was fantastic. Have you considered uploading these individual character bios as shorts on KZbin? Or maybe even one big compilation video? Since in Sir Topham Hatt’s acrapbook he also covers some of the Narrow Guage & Jack & Pack characters. Seems like there’s much potential to do more kinds of these videos, which I’m all for!
@SootyWill3 ай бұрын
Aw thank you so much!! This was a super fun project, but it did take a lot of work, so that seriously means a lot to hear. :) And yes! I've uploaded all the shorts individually in a playlist, but unlisted to keep comments turned on... not sure if I'll make them public yet. I'm thinking about doing a Part 3 with the engines I skipped over, like Oliver, Mallard, Bear, etc - though I think I need more engines to fill all 8 slots. I'd definitely love to make more interactive videos - glad to know there's a demand for more! Thanks again!
@aJunctionMalfunctionProduction3 ай бұрын
@@SootyWill I was also amazed by the sheer volume of sets included in this video. I can fully relate to how tiring it is to construct one set, film on it, then within a day, take it down again to build another set so you can film other footage. A third part would be fun, although I suspect you would have to get someone to do the narration for the RWS exclusives. Maybe you could do some human or road characters to fill out the empty spaces? After all, they did narrate bios for the likes of Cranky, Bertie & Topham.

@@aJunctionMalfunctionProduction Thanks! And yes - this was super fun because I got to built so many different sets in a short time - they only needed one or two shots each.
