Shelby The Interurban Car - Shelby and The Mohawk

[@WesternOhioInterurbanHistory]

The attention to detail in this is amazing. I love how every single background for the interurban line isn't just random streches of track - it's streetrunning, side of the road trackage, the sharp curves interurbans take, the hills - it's all things you would see on an interurban. I also like the small detail of the rural interurban crossing having pre-crossbuck signs, which was very common on interurbans. Not to mention the animated vehicles in the background, and the fantastic sound design. The vehicles themslves are very detailed, and antropamorphized perfectly, nothing looks off. Love the use of the front coupler as a hand. Amazing work.

I’ve never seen this channel before, but as an animation fan who’s also a locomotive enthusiast, the fact alone that the thumbnail features a Mohawk is what captured my attention!

[@RandyBernardo-tp8ms]

Gosh, your cartoon about Shelby is amazing and that Mohawk have a coupler for a hand, like Baldwin's Big Adventure.❤❤❤

I love how this world feels so cartoony yet so realistic. I really wish we'd go back to interurban railways, they had so much charm to them.

[@JohnDavies-cn3ro]

Just think this is lovely - the details are really good. The look of dislike in the railroad carriage's one visible eye as she rolls past Shelby is so easily missed, but says so much about the rivalry between them, for example; the period clothes and cars in the backgrounds (which latter, of course, spelt Shelby's doom), the Iriquoix road roller, the proper valve gear on the Mohawk, whose 'face' looks like an elephant - so much to enjoy.

[@S160Productions]

Extremely underrated

[@SteamIsntKing]

Amazing job lad.

[@Northstarbroch]

This remind me of Virginia Lee Burton and Bill Peets books I used to read growing up! I always dreamed of these anthro vehicles animated like this! Hope to see more from you!

[@brendanstrains9725]

Great work! Probably one of the best train animations i’ve seen!

[@RailfannerJones]

Nice work! This is so much better than my Nutty Railroad Episode 1 I did a year ago.

[@firsttimegamer500]

I really liked this I cannot wait to see more of Shelby.

[@LukeLovesTrains-Mr.RailYard]

Please do more animations in the future. I'm very much enjoying them.

Shelby Is So Silly I Love Her

[@bskorupk]

Although it's only a 2 minute exchange, The flow felt like there was going to be a story about noise complaints/impatience (Thomas and the Policeman style) the music/sound design is splendid, and it all feels alive! :)

[@TrainmanAndy]

This is very adorable! I love your animation style, I also love the coupler movement like a hand lol!

[@MultiJackpine]

The algorithm actually brought me something I wanted to watch, lovely work keep it up!

[@Trainboy11]

[@MemerBoy420-q9g]

It’s wonderful

[@karlnowsnow]

You have potential dude!! Keep up the good work!

[@spamtunec2303]

This feels like something from 2011, but it's cool

[@englishtwister]

It is a lovely cartoon.

[@joeythecat7482]

I hope we see more of Mohawk

[@thomasliptak9469]

Its rough but theres lots of charm, with more time put in it can look even better. Don't give up!

[@rottenroads1982]

Using the couplers as hands. That is how it should be. Anyways, wonder what other Locomotive characters will be envisioned.

[@UrsaOvis]

YEAAAAAH

[@sikdude5365]

My name is Shelby and I have a Mohawk! 😂

[@RyohuHajimeRX-0UnicornGundam]

Sounds and looks just like street car #64 at the Ohio Railway Museum.

[@michelmoroni9865]

I hope Thomas doesn’t see this cartoon.

[@wes1243]

[@toaster-j2q]

coolz

[@SeanGuillermo-kj6se]

Nice cartoon

[@The_NW_EngineYT]

I'm confused, electric tram with a whistle?

[@TrolololGaming]

Air whistle, yes! When the streetcar first came around, air horns weren’t invented yet, or at least weren’t in widespread use. Some later trolleys had horns like a lot of the north shore cars, but many had air whistles.

[@chartreuserailfanning2230]

Also, in some parts of the world, diesels and electrics use whistles instead of horns. In Japan, for example, the freight locomotives, even the modern ones, have very high-pitched whistles and I agree, it definitely felt off at first when I was there.
