I'm glad someone else has thought of this. When I first learned of the RWS lore and history and how different it was from the TVS, I ended up wondering if Thomas getting pulled by Gordon was truly the first time Thomas got to go out on the mainline and see Tidmouth for the first time.

[@marcusthetenderengine699]

5:31 *"OH I'M SO SORRY YOUR HIGHNESS"* LMAO Thomas roasted Gordon's buffers.

[@westernregion104]

Honestly DDJP I can’t wait for you version of Down the mine

[@railfan475productions3]

I love this retold version of Thomas and Gordon. also I like your creative takes on the engines basis's, tbh I kinda like Thomas being an E4

[@jameswright7284]

Congrats on another amazing episode mate really looking forward to the rest of the episodes.

[@DDJP]

Itll be ad hoc on releases, just when im ready to release episodes.

[@DDJP]

Just take it to mean 'sporadic', or, i'll release episodes when ive made them: there is no schedule so there will be times when releases are weeks or months apart. Just depends how I feel.

[@houseofthesupermen377]

This episode was an awesome adaptation. I really like the different basis' you've given the characters and I love the new depth you've added for Gordon and Thomas' rivalry. I also love that ending which kicks of Thomas' arc more naturally than in the books. If there are a few things I might critique, you could dial back the narration a bit for scenes where its not needed. Its alright to allow the visuals to tell the story. Also, some of the dialogue could've used a little workshopping as it comes off as a little unnatural/forced at times. Other than that, this was a great episode/adaptation. Can't wait to see more! Cheers! - Superman.

Given the varied origins of the NWR's motive power, I wonder where they acquired the other rolling stock?

[@dogyslime9954]

Probably from all over Britain

[@Canadiansteamer43]

Or built

[@justclosedtillwhenever]

I love the idea of Thomas being E3.

[@DLR1997]

E4

[@Canadiansteamer43]

I personally don't like thomas as an E4

[@jordandorsett3106]

I don't think Thomas looks good in any LBSCR Design ​@Canadiansteamer43

[@jordandorsett3106]

​@@Canadiansteamer43 but

[@jordandorsett3106]

Any LNER Or GWR Design looks better on THOMAS

[@jordaneriksson5417]

9:30 Poor Gordon felt his head hurting that moment

[@danieltheblueschoolsclass927]

I like this North-Western blue.

[@codyfinkelstein7884]

Based

[@BlandSpagetti]

Yeah I don’t necessarily agree with the locomotive changes but I will admit he chose a great shade of blue

[@Canadiansteamer43]

Yes he did

[@thementaldetectorist756]

Can't wait, let's go

[@mr_television2584]

excited

[@GreatGlynndon]

I can’t be there because of my bed time, but I will watch it soon

[@GreatGlynndon]

So i watched it now, and I am wondering, why are there so many platforms at vickarstown and coaches on Gordon’s coaches?

[@AbbeyYard]

​@@GreatGlynndonIt's not called 'The Big Station' for nothing

[@gilbertporter4992]

Good to see! I think blue & yellow looks better sort of then blue and red. I have to ask what railway owned those cream & chocolate coaches with the six axles? Maybe the NWR borrowed other coaching stock from other railways during their early years?

[@DDJP]

The coaches are ex-Caledonian. The NWR bought them from the LMS at grouping and just kept the livery.

[@PalomboDylan]

So now we’re doing a realistic Thomas friends I see DJ. Well I’m all for it. Full fucking throttle. Let’s do this.

[@danielsellers8707]

Edward looks smart in blue & gold like a Caledonian 4-4-0!

[@charlesharrison6897]

Sorry to say I signal was still on at the platform As Gordon left

[@DDJP]

Hooray!

[@Fort_Master]

What engine is Gordon? I've never seen that type before.

[@David_Mattox]

Looking at him, I’d say he’s a Raven A2. Originally a NER design, two A2s were initially built and delivered to the LNER, much like Gresley’s A1s, with the railway building another three for a grand total of five. Sadly, they were all scrapped

[@jordandorsett3106]

​@@David_Mattox He is a Raven A2

[@iDrawComicsSometimes]

ooga boooga

[@454ChevelleSS]

I was wondering: why is Gordon's blue slightly brighter than the others? Is it to make him stand out more?

[@DDJP]

Yes. Its supposed to give him a slightly unique variation of blue compared to Thomas and Edward.

[@user-pk5ol9sq1y]

Wheres james and percy?

[@DLR1997]

They will come later

[@mary.of.mares.1470]

I though you would use the LNER A1 for Gordon & LBSCR E2 for Thomas

[@spottotea]

It’s a choice, to make them look more different

[@neo-tv8cm]

Um Thomas is a E2

[@j88productions]

MY MAN ITS NOT TRAINZ YOU CANT JUST SPAWN GOOD LOOKING E2S OUT OF THINN AIR-

[@ScorchZane]

Plus it’s his universe

[@houseofthesupermen377]

1. His universe, his canon. These kinds of projects are called AU's aka Alternate Universes for a reason. 2. He probably doesn't have an E2 anyway. And even if he did, he's already decided what his Thomas' basis is.
