[@Rob1_5]

Thomas and Richard are a fitting pair of friends since after all they are both from the Southern region.

[@steamengineshooray]

Personally the best part about this is how you combine classic series structure with a bit of contemporary storytelling. Richard's interacting when Thomas tells his story seems like what Season 6 could have been had it gone on for longer and with more quality directing. Also omg Oliver's wonky handrails, now that's true attention to detail-

I loved this!!! That was an incredible idea to have the coaches get bumped by Richard, damaging their brakes and foreshadowing them eventually rolling down the line, but it was even MORE clever the way you involved a ghost story! AMAZING WORK!!!

[@trainboy7]

I feel like watching an all new Season of the Model Era of Thomas & Friends. It's THAT Good.

Please say the 'Stranger Things' intro will be permanent XD Wonderful end to a spiffing little volume. Classic little ghost story elevated with great dialogue and interactions. Richard's backing vocals to Thomas's story was hilarious - 'Oh, yep, that's true'. I also haven't mentioned this before, but all of the model's faces are glorious; Gordon's especially look amazing.

[@heartsoicy]

[@jamiebullock2023]

I can only imagine stranger things on Sodor happening at midnight, and btw the title has a reference to the 80’s group Dexy’s Midnight Runners. I wonder how we’d react if Richard did appear in the Thomas franchise, the world may never know.

I’m just now watching this trilogy and I swear, you’ve written Richard’s character so well, I genuinely believe if he were an official Thomas character and appeared in the show and/or books, I feel like he would be out of place at all! Unlike Nia and Rebecca, I feel like he would’ve been an excellent character to include in season 2 or season 3. Love your content and keep up the great work!

This is SO WAY BETTER then that infamous Untold Story Of Timothy film! The German version of the LBSCR E2, the DB 00 001 tank sure showed it right! (Love that model btw.) The story's well balanced and everyone's still in character, this makes it a good classic Thomas special with a very lovable, popular, fan-character that make's it all the more great! Now I'm gonna watch this again! And again, and again! 'Cause this needs more views and more applauds to you of how this is such a story well written story this is.

[@greatwesternproductions2857]

An excellent episode, great characterisation as always. One thing I would say is that I think the ghost train segment with Gordon would have been more impactful had we not seen James bump them. We’d see the situation from his eyes then. Perhaps James could admit to it later in a flashback or the stationmaster could say he’d seen James. That’s just my view. Otherwise, excellent work.

Carson, if you manage to find this comment, I just wanna say how absolutely genius you are at creating such masterpieces of Thomas content, and this is no exception.

I'd pat you on the back for your work if I could. Keep it up :)

[@emilbruns9238]

I find it kind of amusing that the engine in Thomas‘s ghost story has the „DB“ logo on it‘s side, which stands for “Deutsche Bundesbahn“, meaning the “federal railway of (West) Germany“ between 1949 and 1994. Also the engine has the black/red paintcoat typical for German steamlocomotives after nationalisation and fusion of all German railways in 1920.

[@doofus_l]

Richards comments during Thomas' story were amazing

[@Damocles178]

This is an interesting video as I know you had two things at play; how to continue Richards story and somewhat fit the theme of Halloween. Either way the results paid off handsomely as you achieved both. You were able to blend a bit of Halloween in but still keep it sweet with traditional railway operations.Very well done.
