After 6 months of development, Schemer's Magical Ride is finally here! It's no secret that I love Magic Railroad and I'm very grateful that Hummie Mann released the soundtrack for digital download just before I started editing the audio for this! I wanted to make this video because I realized that I had some figurines that looked like Burnett, Stacy, and Schemer, so I decided to expand on the reason why Schemer didn't appear in TATMR. Post-completion of this film I realized that there's another dynamic I could expand upon, but that will have to wait until next year ;D!
I want to give a massive thank you to the voice actors for helping me out with this. your role, big or small, was so important to the final film and I couldn't be more grateful for you all. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!!!!

After 6 months of quiet development, here's Schemer’s Magical Ride! This was a story concept I came up with back in January after realizing I had figurines that looked like Schemer, Burnett, and Stacy. What started off as a test video filmed on my desk made to the music used when Thomas pushes Lady to the coal depot has turned into a full short film. I'm very happy to finally see this complete and see you all enjoying it! And THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 1,000 SUBSCRIBERS! I love you all! ❤

Brilliant special to commemorate 21 years of TATMRR, and a very good idea to have Schemer as the main focus. I like the backstory you did of why he wasn't in the film (though for my theory, I always presume that he would've been visiting his nephew). I was hoping he'd meet Mr. Conductor at the end at last since he was the only one of the main characters not to have interacted with him (apart from the 4th of July episode of STS). Ah well, it's still enjoyable and I find it funny how he thought Thomas would make a perfect carnival ride and the latter got very offended by it.

[@Legomastr365]

I wrote this story back in January when I didn't have any conductor figures (I still only have 5 and none of them really look like Mr. Conductor) so I only added him as the final line of the story. Plus, doing Mr. Conductor in the Shining Time universe would be a nightmare given how small he would have to be. Maybe next year I can incorporate him more, but I already thought of an idea for next year's story

Jack Skellington to Schemer: HOW DARE YOU TREAT MY FRIENDS SO SHAMEFULLY!!!!!!

[@AnnieCYouTube]

What a beautiful video! The fun, very TATMR-esque dialogue and gorgeous soundtrack were a delight, as well as the editing and sound design. What a great continuation/epilogue to the film. Wonderful story overall, and I was very honored to voice Stacy in this! Keep up the excellent work!!

[@Legomastr365]

Annie thank you so much for voicing Stacy! You did such a fabulous job and I could never think of anyone else to ever voice Stacy ❤

[@shuntingyard]

I can't even express into words how much I love this video and how grateful I am to have been Thomas in this Matt! I loved every minute of it and all the details that made it a great mini special after the events of TATMR! Cheers Matt! This is by far my favorite video you've made man, keep up the awesome work!

[@Legomastr365]

Awww thanks Joe! That means so much! I'm so glad to have had you voice Thomas in this!

[@NolanTheTugboat]

Shnikies! Annie C. makes for a flawless Stacy Jones! I actually thought she was Didi Conn when I first heard that voice! Very good casting, indeed.

[@91myroc]

Same here!

[@supermariof0521]

Annie C does an amazing Stacy Jones impression. :)

[@gokumasteredultrainstinct1235]

Once again,Lady was saved by Thomas.

[@thomasformerswars101]

ok wow this story blew me away. so that explains were schemer was in the movie well done mate

[@Zombiehunter2_0]

Well, it's not like Schemer hasn't hijacked a steam engine before. In "Once Upon a Time", he tried to drive an engine to get Stacy to care about him after a cowboy showed up, and got too scared that it was moving and jumped off.

[@nateswoodentrainstudios3806]

This is a very good mini sequel to Tatmr. The characters feel so right in this. And I think it was funny that Scheamer just hid under Lady the whole time they were going through the magic railroad without anyone noticing. Also I'm just realizing this right now <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="303">5:03</a> when Lady blew steam how did Scheamer not cough from that he was really close that might have actually stinged his eyes.

[@DCCSodor2]

Great work! I really enjoyed this, the visuals and writing were excellent! It was the perfect way to celebrate TATMRR’s anniversary!

[@MarvinsSignalBox]

Great work! It really paid off to see you work on this for so long !!

[@BigLightning4360]

Now, this would have made a potential sequel to "Thomas and the Magic Railroad" with the return of Schemer and Stacy finally meeting Thomas the Tank Engine on the Island of Sodor!

[@MickeyMouse07079]

Legomastr 365 this is absolutely magnificent!!!! You all did a fanominal job on this!!!! You should writing and producing Thomas and Friends TV show. Thank you so very much for sharing this with all of us.

[@theblack2p229]

Absolutely spectacular work very well done!!!

[@Legomastr365]

Thanks David!!!

[@TrevortheTrainFan]

Awesome video!! I love the human models and Thomas’ voice in this!

[@toadbrunoandbelleproductions]

Amazing story I love the fact that the chase seemed very like the one in tatmr

[@appletrain1007]

I love this one ❤❤❤❤

[@zphotography7305]

Awesome! I love the somewhat inclusion of 475!

[@mrshea924]

He doesn't have a 475, so he used PRR 76.

[@Legomastr365]

PRR 76 doesn't exist, it's an engine I got in the Bachmann Liberty Bell set, the 76 is a reference to the year 1776. Technically 475 is in the video though, as 76's whistle is 475's current whistle

[@railroadguy100]

Really cool & brilliant. Great job with story setting. I still remember Lady on the big screen when I was a kid and today, still enjoy Thomas The Tank Engine

[@Johnjacob654]

If only Schemer in Thomas and the Magic Railroad

[@mr.minebloxdaylighttwinkle442]

Nice job!

[@shawanderson5747]

Impressive story man 👍

[@ichigokurosaki8809]

WellDone Thomas that little engine mean's a whole alot to me i'm glad i actually found myself loving this engine & all of his sodor friends i can't imagine a world without him at all cause it would suck without Thomas The Tank Engine

[@brendanthetankengine21peep30]

I wonder how this will turn out

[@kevinmills8437]

Schemer is Back Yay!!!!

[@rorymoore8982]

But schemer is not the only shining time station character who didn’t appear in Thomas and the magic railroad. Dan, Kara, Becky, Midge Smoot and J.B. King didn’t appear either

[@TRAINMASTER321]

What a great story. I noticed you used different facial expressions for Thomas. Will you be doing this in your series soon too ?

[@Legomastr365]

Season 4 will have different facial expressions! I'm actually in the middle of painting Skarloey's right now!

[@TRAINMASTER321]

@@Legomastr365 Nice one. Looking forward to it 😀

[@Darkzin19865]

Omg

[@DanielGomez-gw4kt]

Legomastr 365 this is an incredible video, and the story is really good. You definitely came up with a very good story. Someday if I ever work at Mattel, I hope I can have the producers to have you come in and present some of your story ideas for Thomas. I really hope to work at Mattel as a writer, producer, director and storyman. And at the same time I really want to save the Thomas franchise, because nowadays it's the type of version that all of the hardcore Thomas fans don't like. Wacky 2D animation, that feels like watching old fashioned Disney Mickey Mouse cartoons, as well as the new Mickey Mouse cartoons that you could watch on Disney Channel and Disney plus, and the new 2D wacky version of Thomas and Friends even feels like watching Looney tunes at the same time. So if I work at Mattel as a writer, producer, director and storyman and convince the producers of what they're doing to Thomas is all wrong. So hopefully the show can go back to the old roots, not in the use of model animation. Because it will be very too expensive to produce and so forth, but I hope we can go back to CGI animation. And taking the realism basics, charm, a little bit of humor but not too much humor. Storyteller AKA a narrator telling the story, and to have the characters to show their great personalities, along with education. All of that of how the show used to be when it first started from the original season 1 of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends, and that was even translated into CGI from season 13 to season 21. I'm hoping that like what was written and produced with education from season 13 to season 21, of the CGI version of Thomas and Friends. I hope that original style and CGI, I really hope to bring that back. And go back to its old roots from there, with those ideas. I really hope to convince the producers at Mattel to do that, to save and to make the Thomas franchise popular all over again. And at the same time I'm going to try to convince them, that there are hardcore Thomas fans out there at that produce their own stories for those who love characters especially Thomas himself. In their own form of CGI animation, and of course their own models. I want to try to tell the producers, that we need to hire those great people, and to present their stories and write their stories for Mattel. In order for me to convince the producers at Mattel to make Thomas and Friends to go back to the old roots, but not with model animation because that will be too expensive like I said. But with CGI animation. And I hope the producers at Mattel will agree, and will try to get a hold of some of those hardcore Thomas fans out there. That had brought to life the characters in their own CGI animation, and models that were seen on KZbin. And I'm hoping you can be one of them, if I ever convince the Mattel producers to hire you at the same time. And I hope like what was brought to life in this video, I hope it could be brought to life in CGI animation. Because to tell you the truth I really hope that Mattel can do a full CGI animated version of Thomas and the Magic Railroad, to feature PT Boomer as the human villain. And not only that but also bring some of the other characters as part of that animated reboot, like how Britt allcroft wrote itfor the original script of Thomas and the Magic Railroad. So just like from that, I hope that cranky the crane, George the steamroller and Edward the blue engine can finally make their rolls for Thomas and the Magic Railroad. As a full animated CGI reboot of the movie. And even though I kind of think a little bit about it, I hope that Mavis, Emily, Rosie, Rebecca and Nia can be part of it as well. So I'm hoping my idea of rebooting Thomas and the Magic Railroad in full CGI animation can be a wonderful dream come true, I'm also hoping if Mattel can join horses and collaborate with Disney to help promote. And present the movie altogether. and if that ever happens and could be successful then the live-action version, after that I hope that a few sequels can be made as follow-ups and new chapters. For the entire Thomas franchise and in general for Thomas and the Magic Railroad, and also for the franchise of Shining Time Station. And I really hope that this story can be brought to life in full CGI animation, after my idea of the reboot CGI animation Thomas and the Magic Railroad. However like what I just saw from this video, I believe that it can't be a full length animated feature. I believe it can be a short animated featurette. Like Winnie the Pooh and the Honey tree, Winnie the Pooh and the blustery day, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too and Winnie the Pooh and a day for Eeyore. So if all this comes about, to make my dreams come true at Mattel and saving the Thomas franchise. I really hope that I can convince the producers to make in contact with you and hire you, and present this wonderful story. And write the story for a brand new Thomas and the Magic Railroad animated featurette. Even though this video with your models is wonderful and incredible, but most likely the story is incredible and interesting. I hope it could be brought to life in full CGI animation someday, if I ever work at Mattel. To save the Thomas franchise, and to convince the producers that you have to be hired in order for this story to be brought to life in full CGI animation. For a brand new Thomas and the Magic Railroad animated featurette. I hope to make my dreams come true, and I hope that I can have your dreams come true as well. To present and write some good Thomas and Friends stories, if I convinced The producers to make the franchise go back to CGI animation. And I do believe you can make a name for yourself as well, to make your dreams come true from there 👍😉

[@Legomastr365]

Hey man! This is really enthusiastic and admirable of you to go for this kind of job, but I just wanna tell you that I've actually spoken with a Mattel rep and they aren't going to hire fans based on fan content. The TCC from way back when was basically that and from what I've heard it was not great. Overworked, underpaid, no clear direction, it was a mess. Mattel also just wants to forget about magic railroad so remaking it in CGI would be impossible. Mattel is a huge corporation with different departments running different parts of the process and even they aren't always clued in on what's being said up top. So while I don't want to ruin your dreams (if this is what you want to do you absolutely should), hiring on fans will not happen. Also I wouldn't want to work for Mattel anyway. Personally I see it as a lost cause. I'd rather work at Strasburg and keep the wonder of steam trains around for future generations.
