Skarloey The Shepherd: A Talyllyn Railway 70th Anniversary Celebration Story

[@Thomasfan48]

By looking at this, this will be a beautiful piece in Thomas fan history

Hello there, ThomasFan48.

[@MrNoUsername]

7:40 Ok that end screen actually made me tear up. It just makes me so proud to be part of the TTTE community

[@TheBuriedTruck]

A wonderful job on this, Owen! I do hope we’ll get more SKR stories from you in future - this felt right out of S4!

[@TheBlueE2]

Further-on, the story is very clever in how it leads up to the key event. The fencing is made out to benefit the railway but instead handicaps it in an unexpected way! Also gives more legitimate-ness to Skarloey successfully herding them, what with the fence trapping them on the line. Reminds me of that HIT episode where Henry cautions cows up the line with a truck of straw, though they were extremely well behaved cows to conveniantly stay with him the whole time :p

Can I just say this team has definitely captured the comfort of season 4. the visuals are stunning. I just can’t get over that viaduct and all of the other locations in this video. Let’s also not forget all other amazing things here as well, shading/lighting is spot on, animated face mask are amazing, the story was definitely suited the railway, and let’s not forget the beautiful music throughout all of this, spot on overall an amazing story definitely worth the time and effort. Keep up the great work team I hope there is more to come.

[@Thomasfan8]

Lovely story! Well written and very charming. Glad to have been a part of it :D Looking forward to the next one...!

[@ryanlister1244]

Hi Thomasfan8, can I ask a question.

[@WelshGiraffa]

Ok your set pieces are so accurate I was not expecting such a gorgeous take on the Skarloey Viaduct

[@amazi6542]

Any OGs who watched the old channel would recognize Ben in the background. Wonderful video!

[@ps7372]

I bet that one dislike is Mattel because they’re jelly

[@aandrews155]

Lovely work, Owen. A very sweet story 🥲❤️

[@twofacedtwitproductions6154]

This was a lovely piece Owen, bought back memories of being at the Welsh Highland Railway and seeing a Beyer Garrett chasing sheep at one of the stations. Some of the sets here were jaw dropping, in particular the viaduct. It seems you've used mainly off-the-shelf Bachmann or Peco stock for the Skarloey Railway - but I didn't feel this took away from the viewing experience whatsoever and rather gave it its own identity, if you catch my drift! Keep up the good work, looking forward to what comes next!

[@scottlewis775]

How I missed this until now, I don’t know, but this was a superb video! The story and visuals were wonderful.

[@elsbridgeproductions]

Great video! Felt very reminiscent of series 4, and I adore that viaduct! It was visually stunning and leaves me wanting to see more!

[@TheTrainModeller]

Owen this is so beautifully charming. That viaduct set is to die for, and I think the whole ending piece is just so lovely. I enjoyed this so much... roll on September ;)

[@84fstudios6]

Such a heartfelt, brilliant story! Very well done to all those involved!

[@FastCaterham]

That bridge is insane! Great work man!

[@bluebellsfan8704]

Amazing video! Great story to celebrate the 76th anniversary of thomas and friends!

[@calvinrath8612]

That viaduct set is SO metal. It's imposing and expands greatly on the original.

[@stepneybulstrodemusic1761]

The story is so wholesome, and a great follow-up to Feeling Sheepish. And that viaduct set at 1:35... damn it’s beautiful

[@WelshGiraffa]

A visit to the skarloey railway this should be fun

[@samuelfarris1949]

Lovely! A favourite. Regards, Samuel Farris.

[@dabluepittoo-aqua4213]

Really beautiful sets with a rather humerus story to boot! Always nice to see tales of Skarloey.

[@SteamLance]

That was a lovely story, properly season 4-esque. I can't wait to do some Lego Skarloey adaptions in the near future, I have got designs based off Wylie's ones, hopefully I'll have at least Skarloey built in time for the Awdry Extravaganza.

[@TheBlueE2]

"If you keep whistling like that, I'll break your whistle in 'alf". Hehahahaha great usage of the Angelis voice AI. Not a suprise of course that this was a treat to behold, to both eyes and ears! Detail in the sets has so much care in it, evident inspirations from both S4 and Talyllyn railway within them both, and I quite liked how you tied it in cleverly with your previous Duck story :) It's nonetheless always a unique fresh take to see a SKR story in model format given how small and trickier the scale is. Well done overall :)

[@parkerproductions4546]

Utterly fantastic! I loved the production value in this! The lighting, the sets, music - everything felt very Classic era. And a great story to boot too! Well done to all!

[@theamericane2tb100]

Yay your back

[@Nazir-WalkAroundTheCity]

[@theamericane2tb100]

looking back at this video I saw few older characters like Ben and Loti as mainland engines.

[@ajaxengineco]

I love your mixed 009 stock. Some Lynton & Barnstaple, a bit of Glyn Valley, a few Ffestiniog slate wagons.

[@ghostengineer]

What a great video

[@TramEngineStudios]

Dude you are made for SKR stuff god damm is this beautiful!

[@KameronCousin]

This is a lovely story Owen! Happy 70th anniversary to the Talyllyn Railway! :D

[@GeorgeLowther2000]

Great Work Owen Loved the shots and all and Happy 70th Anniversary Talyllyn Railway!

[@TankEngine97]

Nice work. I love the sets, especially the viaduct.

[@dariusneal9495]

It's been so long, it's great to see your wonderful work again!

[@TB76Returns]

That was top class!

[@attopsyoutube8492]

Hey It looks like Ben The Gwr Engine himself

[@NathanielPiscian]

5:02 could anyone eles hear Michel Angelis narration here?

[@Jamesdaniele]

For Skarloey's Twin Cool.

[@TobyOliverHenryFan]

I'm sorry, but what are these pairings? I bought Duck and Skarloey together and I'm planning on getting Murdoch and Henrietta soon.

[@TailsFan369no2]

I wonder if this happened on the talyllyn

[@ThomasTheModelAdventures]

Many, many times!

[@oncimio7085]

would it be ok if you paint the ring around Skarloey funnel golden like in seasons 4-5 of the Thomas and friends series?

[@awesome-xk8vj]

You gave Rheneas the wrong whistle his Original Classic series whistle from season 4 is the same one as stepney's

[@rockstarrob766]

At 2:52 where did you get those coaches from

[@TomTomTankTom]

What's the name of the intro theme?
