NWR Tales S9 Ep.1: A New Coat For Rheneas

[@CraneProductions27]

What a remarkable opening story to your new series. What I loved most about it is how you mixed both the TV engines with the Railway Series episodes and turned them from one to the other in this story. Rheneas telling the story to (well I'll be blown) Christopher Awdry, was an even bigger surprise to me :D .

🎊🥳 Congratulations, NWR1991. 🥳🎊 You still have comments on your videos, which means you survived COPPA. Plus, this episode was an amazing way to start a new season. You did a great job.

[@TKSP4449]

Pretty great episode. A good way to start off your 9th season, the new year, and your part in the 75th anniversary of Thomas & Friends. Can't wait to see how the engines and the railway celebrate it in your series. And although this is a bit early, but I wonder what things will be like for the 100th anniversary in the next 25 years.

[@wedding824]

Oh thank god this Channel dosen't have kids mode on, a majority of my favorite youtubers who make this content have enabled kids mode.

[@1_railfan]

Same here, I have all comments gone except for 1 video.

[@pennywaltz4601]

How do you turn off the kid mode?

[@NWR1991]

Penny Waltz - Go to KZbin Studios, click on settings and then the channel button. There you see the ‘made for kids’ settings and have three options and click on the ‘No’ selection. It’s a way to say you have a ‘mixed audience’ according to KZbin.

@@NWR1991 I hope it's legal, The thing is with my channel: I made Bertie swore ONCE, Boulder's origin is pretty sad, My prequel series contains a WW2 episode. & the age chart in my analytics shows 32.1% of people 35 - 44 the highest.

[@NWR1991]

Railfan #1 - In the end YT says ‘we know our audience’ so I’m going by what they say.

[@CoreyOffirin]

Would be nice if this year we did get a new book or series of stories in relation to the Island of Sodor in 2020 as well. But your series will no doubt carry it on. Glad to see the liveries are closer to the Railway Series now (the repaint for the Skarloey Railway engines does make sense though :) ). Here's to 2020 and however many episodes you release this year :D

[@jhcranmer]

Excellent start to season 9, NWR1991! You always make such great videos.

[@andydoms2001]

Time to start the 75th anniversary of Thomas, his friends, and their stories

[@trainzmania2022ricardo]

Happy New Year to you too, hope you many oportunitis.

[@GeorgeLowther2000]

All right Season 9 has begun

[@demonofnowhere]

just realised you used my music in the credits, thanks a lot! ^^

[@nicholasquinnsnyder6095]

I love the intro & credits! Keep up the good work NWR1991. 👍🚂 I love your episodes!

[@ryanmcquade6157]

Smart intro and outro .. I remember the books as a child . I kept them for my boys all they years later

[@1_railfan]

Wonderful tale, Rheneas is my favorite Narrow gauge character. & @ 9:28 I see Victor to the right.

[@pennywaltz4601]

Great episode to the start the new season off looking forward to seeing more for this year keep up the awesome work!

[@devinholmes5246]

I love it. The intro and outro are fantastic. It can be the intro and outro for season 9.

[@northwesternsplendor]

Love that intro! Edit: Watched the whole thing, and it was great! I love the outro too!

[@todddavis2041]

Such a great episode I loved it! I glad to see you continue to produce such brilliant episodes! I hope 2020 is a great year for you NWR1991

[@HighOutlook]

Somthing about the start of this made me SUPER happy!

[@eliotreader8220]

i found this episode about the narrow gauge engines to be very nicely written and its a great way to the railway series which is still in steam 75 year's after the first book three railway engines was first put on sale

[@tylerkane1238]

FIRST!!! And first episode of 2020... can’t wait to see what this is all about as well as the intro...

[@StephTHatt]

Superb episode keep up the good work.

[@UnbreakableSodor]

Happy new year! And great episode!

[@LNERA3PRODUCTIONS]

I like like the story verry original and verry good

[@allanegleston4931]

huzza for the thin clergyman. salute and rip. yay . a new story.:)

[@KameronCousin]

This is an awesome episode! Well done! :D

[@Plagued4Life]

Smashing work mate! :)

[@TicTonic96]

The beginning of season 9

[@thesudriana016]

A brilliant episode to start off a new decade and a new season! I love Christopher Awdry's appearance, as well as the new intro and end credits! While watching this episode, I knew it was going to be a reference to the TV Series, and sure enough it did! Since I grew up more with the TV Series, I prefer the Skarloey engines in different liveries. Yeah, they do look nice in red with blue lining, but I would admit, it would be very confusing to tear them apart. I really liked Skarloey's message to Rheneas at the end (for I remember when I first read the books, I realized the difference between that and the show). I have been watching the previous episodes of your series, and even though I noticed that the narrow-gauge engines were in their RWS liveries, I still pretty much enjoyed them. One question. Alongside Christopher, would Veronica Chambers and Britt Allcroft make an appearance in this season?

[@MrKenichi22]

very nice story

[@srajfnly2]

HEY NWR1991 HAPPY NEW YEARS

[@frankydman]

A fine video, and splendid opening to the season. My only feedback would be that in the very least Ivo Hugh should have been acknowledged in some way; even if it was just someone pointing out he was "away for repairs." A model of him probably doesn't exist in the game you use and that is why he's not around, but it would have been a nice easter egg. That said, it does not change my enjoyment of the story; keep up the great work

[@NWR1991]

frankydman - I’d stated this before, I had planned to place Ivo Hugh in the episode it his model wasn’t working for me. Plus I don’t know how to explain why he wasn’t here because he doesn’t have any importance to the story and it would feel forced in. Not everything has to be explained.

[@frankydman]

That’s fair; thank you for the explanation. And please accept my apologies; I must have missed when you mentioned that and was unaware.

[@williamchivers380]

Dear NWR1991 I must say, This is Truly A Terrific Opening Episode, Especially to begin with the Theme of New Year's Day. A Cleverly-Written and Well Narrated Online Story, Also with the fine cast of characters (the beloved Narrow Gauge Engines of course). Also like the latest opening titles - Showing Recreated Classic Scenes, Moments and References to Memorable Classic Stories/Storylines in-between, What A Way to Creatively-Entertain in such a Terrific Way on Celebrating 75 Years of such a Remarkably Forever-Never-Ending Franchise all-round. By the way, How many Episodes of this year's NWR Tales will there be throughout 2020 ? (if you forgive me asking).

[@jakemiketta3868]

Happy 😃 New Year

[@nococoforboco5538]

Will this be a theme throughout the season.

[@NWR1991]

NoCoCoforBoCo - If it’s the cold openings? They’ll be a feature from now on. If it’s Christopher Awdry going around to write stories, it’ll only be until April, because May is the anniversary month like the episode had stated, but he'll make an appearance in May's episode.

[@paytonburrows2325]

Admittedly I was one of those kids that got Skarloey and Rhenaes mixed up. Even in the show I didn’t quite understand the difference between the two.

[@charlesbowditch3645]

This reminds me of my Rosie origin story and how she gained her trademark livery. (I could let you have it to produce for this series, if you like)

[@ThomasandDBZ2010]

This is a great episode, man. Though, I am curious as to what happened to Ivo Hugh.

[@NWR1991]

Felix Cheng - I was going to put him in but his model just wouldn’t load in the game :P

[@ThomasandDBZ2010]

@@NWR1991 What a pity. I assume Ivo is from WNW?

[@NWR1991]

Felix Cheng - Yes

[@ThomasandDBZ2010]

@@NWR1991 That's very strange. I had his Ivo working just fine on my TS12 copy considering I made my own renditions of all stories from "New Little Engine." Regardless, I've always wondered how Ivo would've been painted if he was in the TVs in the first place. I was thinking either light grey with black lining (much like Fearless Freddie), green (like Peter Sam, just a little more olive-y green), or purple. What are your thoughts?

Do you have Discord or Twitter? I would like to have a chat with you about some useful information you might be interested in

Is Christopher still alive!?!?!?! (This is a real question)
