It's back! Now with royalty free content and slightly better cuts!
When a shipment turns out to be missing for the annual Farmer's market, it's up to Frank and the Trainmaster to team up on a journey off home rails to recover more and discover many other things.

I just realised, in the Halloween special the f7, I forget his name, says that in order to escape the tank engine, a victim must get the tank engine a new engine for his collection, exchanging themselves for the new victim, and Cameron fell victim to the tank engine at the end of said Halloween special, but he's fine now. So that means....... Also frank seems rather calm when Cameron is talking, despite the fact that what Cameron says sounds like the rabeling of a lonatic. Maybe frank knows a bit about the legend, he has been a a san juan engine for a while.

I love the callback to the Halloween special. This has been out for three years and it's still enjoyable!

Nicholas' voice is sooo fitting. (If it sounds familiar, he did the MSTS/OPENRAILS/OPENBVE/Trainz12 reviews on routes. Thats why he says THATS WHY I GIVE THE SAN JUAN WEST MY SEAL OF APPROVAL)

Am I the only one who noticed the At The Railyard reference? At the start, the steam engine was giving a rating that sounded like a At The Railyard rating, then at the end, he kinda made "At The Railyard" clear.

The guy from the Halloween episode is back as a burling northern but as green and black you can tell because his voice and what he said don’t you know how hard it was to escape and he also saids I’m not going back wards not after last time
