NWR FLASHBACK Tales S1 Ep.1: Magic Man

Celebrating 35 years of Shining Time Station, the show that brought Thomas to America!
---
1989
Sir Stephen Topham Hatt had announced to Thomas, Percy & Toby that a group of actors were coming from America to have their photographs taken with them. The actors were part of new television show called 'Shining Time Station' a fictional railroad station on the fictious line called the Indian Valley Railroad that features the stories of the engines told by a magic man. This made Percy intrigued but when the big engines heard the news they were jealous and when Percy asked them about the magic man they decided to play a trick on him but sadly it led to trouble.

What an extraordinary episode. Gordon, Henry and James playing a trick on Percy, that is something that has a classic railway series feel. That accident surprised me. I felt sorry for Percy when he had to miss out on the actors.

This episode will have you “time to Shine”.

[@penguinagents2015]

9:13 When James tells you off in defense of one of the branchline engines, you know you've gone too far. Because that is quite a rare sight.

[@Conductor1991]

Wow. I'm glad I'm not the only one celebrating 35 years of Shining Time Station.

[@MikeNicholsonThomas]

This is a Thomas/Shining Time Station crossover done right, and I absolutely love it! 😀 Looking forward to more from this series!

[@houseofthesupermen377]

Mike Nicholson? Didn't know you were a fellow NWR1991 fan! By the way, I loved your George Carlin Retrospective.

[@jimmyhook4852]

Heh... good to see ya once more, Mike :3

[@thesudriana016]

There's also one episode of Thomas & the Railtours (from another fan-series) where 844 visited Sodor prior to this last year.

[@jimmyhook4852]

@@thesudriana016 I saw that. ;)

[@lukechristmas3951]

For the longest time I always wanted to see more Thomas series that involved Shining Time Station in some way or form and this is a great one! Hard to believe it's now 35 Years since it first debuted and it is ever a wonderful show. This is a very charming story that acts as an open love letter to Shining Time Station which every fan content that involves Shining Time Station can be one!

[@callum110597]

Superb! Really fitting for the 35th anniversary of Shining Time Station! I'm also glad you got Ringo Starr featured in it, as Mr Conductor! 😃👏

[@houseofthesupermen377]

This was a wonderful way to crossover Thomas and Shining Time Station. It just feels so right. I like how Henry, Gordon and James have matured to where they actually feel guilt over their role in Percy's accident and try to make up for it. I also love the detail of Percy calling Ringo "Mr. Starky". Overall, a great episode and a great start to this new series. Can't wait to see more like the 40th anniversary of the Television series episode in October!

[@TheVicarstownSentinel]

I like how for the theme of these new Flashback Tales series you picked Rondeau- that's what we used here for PBS' Masterpiece Theatre block on PBS! Though the versions used in more recent years are a bit different from what I remember.

[@ThomasFan3751]

I'm just glad that more people outside of the US acknowledge the existence of Shining Time Station.

[@Tugsboi47]

I’m in Canada

[@jimmyhook4852]

Wonderful start to the NWR Flashback Tales series, @NWR1991 :3 My favorite part had to be of course when Stephen explained the different terms to of Thomas, Percy, and Toby... most notably of Guard being Conductor and Railway being Railroad here in the USA :3

[@oliverfan72]

This a TTTE/STS crossover done right, unlike Magic Railroad.

[@雪者]

You said it

[@josephtomaso6790]

Thank you for acknowledging Shining Time.

[@elih.3093]

Such an incredible episode!!! Happy 35th anniversary!!! 😊😊😊👍👍👍

[@benzamorey9787]

Blimey, this is something new, I love the opening

[@imoldsquarewheels695]

It's been weeks since it's been a month since this was uploaded, but this was a wonderful episode! Bringing the actors from Shining Time Station was actually really nice.

[@kennethjoseph9309]

Percy needs to stop being naive at times and since when did he ever start listening to the big engine knowing they sometimes don't tell the truth.

[@thecaledoniansleeper2648]

This will be great! I cant wait to see a brand new series where we’ll get to see Sodor taking place in the 80s, 90s or 2000s. Mostly from a reality standpoint. I think this is the kind of series that I thought about not too long ago, and it’s finally happening. I really wonder how would the engines feel about Magic Railroad back in 1999 when Britt Allcroft is gonna make that movie?

[@jonathonevans1883]

Happy 35th Anniversary to Shining Time Station

[@garyennis9757]

What a great way to start off a new series

[@TylerRakstis]

Insert the song of the same name by Heart joke here. Plus, WOW, 35 years since this show gotten introduced in the states! Man do I feel old, despite being 8 years behind the airdate at the moment. Also, interesting on how you managed to mix another PBS show that introduced many British miniseries to the states as well.

[@nickd253]

Love this story

[@zacharyspinks6207]

Wow, I gotta say, This is Amazing, Here's to 35 years of Shining time Station!👍, Love the New NWR Flashback Tales Theme btw.

[@zacharyspinks6207]

Oh boy, This is going to be Exciting!😄👍👍

[@brianrunyon266]

Sounds very interesting, and, love the concept as a way to expand on your own take on Thomas and Friends.

[@azuma892]

Not the biggest fan of Shining Time Station, but my word this is a very creative and well written story. 😊

[@gameoholic1994]

This looks interesting.

[@aceproductions43]

6:48 the collision only sounded like a small bump and it was never said that his buffer beam was damaged, so why couldn't Percy just be checked over in the yards, surely it wouldn't take that long? Furthermore, why would this necessitate loading him onto a flatbed? Regardless, this was still a great story to kick off the new series and fitting considering Shining Time Station's impact on the franchise's popularity.

[@NWR1991]

If I had Percy crash through the lorry it wouldn't look realistic as he would slice through it considering this is Trainz we're talking about. It's suppose to be impactful but Trainz has its limits.

[@Zacman1123]

This was very cute.

[@雪者]

Oh boy, I can't wait! :D

[@amitysluzara2022]

Lovely start to the new series!

[@1stPeacePrize456]

I can't wait

[@ItsCarlos563]

Great start to this new series!

[@dougsfilmtv9810]

That was really good, and I loved it!

[@AhmearClayIombo-dj6di]

Nice Flashback

[@tylervielie5767]

Bravo!

[@nandaayu6186]

Hmmmm why did you pick 1989 but not 1991 ore your channel number

[@NWR1991]

Because 1989 was the year the show first started. STS was already well established by 1991 and that’s it.

[@johnsjovialpictures]

So, is this where all new episodes that take place in the past will be? If so, I assume this means all the episodes from Season 13 onwards of NWR Tales will all take place in present day.

[@NWR1991]

Yes

[@iteddie9202]

Are you gonna download the new Sudrian industries Toby

[@NWR1991]

All my videos that’ll be uploaded for this year predates any of the releases that various sites had done recently.
