Sodor the Early Years: A Stranger in Need

After stopping to help an injured cyclist, Toby is surprised to learn exactly who she is.
Edit: I've just realised, I left Patrick's voice actor out of the end credits :(. He's voiced by Eugene Yu.

Hi folks,
As you can probably guess, I've now got enough episodes produced to start uploading them. As usual, it'll be a weekly upload on Saturday mornings, AEST.
Cheers,

DAUGHTER?!? I thought it would be more than just a hit-and-run driver; you know, like a bank robber or escaped lunatic. Nice Shining Time Station logo.

[@stevencarbonara4419]

I love Emily`s Shining Time shirt, very nice touch.

[@stevencarbonara4419]

***** I did not, that's really cool

[@harryjohnson9215]

We never had shining time in the UK After i found the episodes on KZbin And This rewatch of the series i understand the reference properly now, i just thought it was referring to the movie.

[@connorjohnson7834]

Put a pen in Toby's cowcatcher then have him drive over the paper, there's your signature

[@MrCSisley]

Well done Wildnorwester, great start to the new season with the new cast! I look forward to seeing the next episode soon XD

[@PeterSamFanNo4]

The episode was fantastic! Brilliant work, wildnorwester!

[@Mknomore108]

I love this intro, Series 5 was the best

[@Anonymoose151515]

and in one of those episodes, I saw the older Controller with his son, whom had hair :)

[@djdrago9712]

Aunt bridget. There should've been a moment where toby asked Bridget if they'd met before and Bridget asks Toby "are you electric?" Toby recognizes her instantly

[@sudrianashnazg7879]

You got Percy a good voice. Mature, yet young. And I see Miss Emily Hatt likes George Carlin too.

[@macdoeman4560]

This made my evening! Also, it reminds me of the RWS story where Thomas helps stop a burglar, nice!

[@aidanbishop7252]

I must say that I'm loving that you brought Maithwaite station because it wouldn't be the same without it. Good Job

[@mikester8171]

You should've called the Sgt. Nicolas Angel as an inside joke to hot fuzz.

[@TIMELORD327]

Percy, whats going on? I dont know why but that line had my in tears

[@ProfessorTayB]

I finally got caught up with all the episodes right in time! Brilliant work as always!

[@SotraEngine4]

Percy's voice is so good. Sounds like he has grown up a little. Well, he is beginning to get old. He was introduced in 1950, so it's nice he have a deeper voice when he actually is 63 years old. Sounds tired too, maybe from troublesome trucks? Well, THAT is Percy's voice. I really liked it.

[@godzillahomer]

well said, it's refreshing to see a deep voiced Percy

[@nolimitz1274]

I loved how Percy said pull over I love his voice you have rally good voice actors

[@chris200179]

Thank you as always, I can't wait for next week now. Also thank you for the new download as well, I love using on my laptop: D

[@thomaseadbhardmcqueen7511]

I idolize this. i really can't wait for the next few episodes.

[@danielboone3770]

It's awesome this story centers in 1994. I love the 90's!

[@andrewthegreatbrewer6695]

Toby saved her just for her to become the fat controller

[@ArnoldThomasFan95]

Now that was some episode dude, welcome back, and the story reminded meof stop thief a little bit. +5

[@trainboy228]

Glad To see Your Sodor The Early Years Is Back

[@matthewolson4611]

Love the Thomas and the Magic Railroad reference

[@travelsonic]

I feel a little stupid asking, but what did you use for this, Trainz, or some other train sim?

[@rayhagele]

Well done episode! I must admit Percy new voice will take some time to get used to.

[@pepperthekobold]

Very nice. The voice acting has really come together. Great job.

[@Percyfan1998]

Awesome work! A bit glitchy, but on the si3d forums you did say that you had it with WLMM, and that this was the last episode to use it.

[@TobyandMavisforever]

4:07 Well, in RL, engines can't talk so I can see why this is not a frequent occurrence.

[@jjbackon]

Who made the intro music

[@pepperthekobold]

I'd just like to say that, by 1994, Percy would be the best part of 80 or so years old so although small I wouldn't describe his as a 'little' engine any more.

[@tresandmyclass3494]

And I loved gangsta Percy he made me crack up

[@tresandmyclass3494]

#. True

[@DanielIrwinProductions]

an excellent job like the rest of them! looking forward to more!

[@TroublesomeSlateTruck]

Pardon me, I don't need to be pushy, but Great work with your video, Buddy. =3

[@jsjackson6428]

Well done

[@itzzdustyspartan3241]

9:47 The "O-face" returns

[@Anonymoose151515]

Great new episode!! Like the Toby actor as Well -_-

[@TTTESEASON4FAN]

Love the shining time shirt

[@Drxonj13]

I liek the controller's Duahgter's shirt. Long live Shining time Station!

[@castlesandjazzers1534]

Ah, 113 comments on this vid! Excluding further ones like this, exactly the number of viewers on my first video. :)

[@AlexTrain5249]

that car is kind of 1990's looking

[@WildNorWester]

Alex Paumen Well, the episode is set in the 1990s.

[@HornbyFans78]

Finally it's here

[@cheriewilliams5428]

Percy's voice is from the creator of "Tobias and the half pariah "

[@douglasthescottishtwin3989]

tines sensahthe

[@Railwaystation1]

Will there be an episode every week like last year?

[@tresandmyclass3494]

Oh thanks anyway keep up with these amazing videos but if u can tell u who made the car so I can contact him/her

[@ThomasErtl123]

Fantastic work!

[@FizzledFirebox]

He used Trainz.

[@davidguthary8147]

Is Emily wearing a Shining Time Station shirt? Nice touch. It's little things like that that push the series over the top, in my opinion. Also, ONE HUNDREDTH COMENT ON THIS VIDEO!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!

[@Locomproduction123]

So Patrick was that green diesel in Barry the rescue engine mini series. I knew Emily is his daughter. I connected this episode with Cold wheels.

[@Trainboy153]

I like percy's new deep manly voice

[@DocterGeko]

3:57 what is Eric doing in Elsbridge hes is really far away from the kirk Ronan branch

[@OlanKenny]

Probably taking some trucks up to Tidmouth or something. Engines don't just say on their branch lines.

[@WildNorWester]

Engines do venture from their branchlines occasionally.

[@noahmorrison6562]

Engines don't sign.

[@connorflaherty175]

Did Percy say "oh f*ck" at 7:35?

[@DD9and10]

Connor Flaherty Suuuuuure, in a kids show he would make an engine swear the worst kind of swear word there is.

[@connorflaherty175]

Jacob Robert Well, Wildnorwester does add certain language in his episodes at least once in a while. And there is such a thing as adlib.

[@WildNorWester]

Connor Flaherty It's not a swear. I may use strong language, but not out-and-out swear words. He's saying, "Look, that's him!"

[@connorflaherty175]

***** Ok, that's all I needed to be sure. I mean, I know you make your videos as child friendly as possible, but there is such a thing adlib as I said and I understand that, with a fan series, one is free to add colorful language in each episode, as demonstrated in Thomas1Edward2Henry3's "Engines of Sodor" series. Sorry if I was harsh there.

[@AlexTrain5249]

Connor Flaherty i think he said "oh look"

[@tresandmyclass3494]

Thank u so much

[@rhythmcompany]

Who's Percy? Tines Sunshine of course!

[@RayMKlll]

7:59 Why weren't the trucks trying to boost Percy's speed?

[@WildNorWester]

+RayMKlll Why should they? They're not known for helping the engines.

[@RayMKlll]

+WildNorWester good point.

[@demonofnowhere]

Amazing!

[@Anonymoose151515]

Ok, now i get it :-) So the Fat controller that was in the TV show was entirely his father.. I could have sworn I saw the Fat Director with hair in the Railway Series ;)

[@bentenfan1mob]

Percy's voice reminds me of sunshine from TUGS.

[@swoof121]

Ho do you get Thomas in trains 2012

[@HornbyFans78]

Percy is so cool :)

[@thomasrainbowfan]

That was good so good that was great

[@EnterTheEngines]

Awesome work!

[@pepperthekobold]

I'm pretty certain the model was actually a 3-series (pause at 07:56 and 08:08), but it's not an important detail really.

[@tresandmyclass3494]

Excuse my mister wester but where do u find Those drivable cars for trainz I can't seem to get me hands on any

[@WildNorWester]

Look for 'Drivable Superadaptor' on Trainz. It's a locomotive with an invisible mesh, and you specify which asset you want attached to it. Then, it acts like a locomotive.

[@NWR1914]

***** So how would I specify the asset I want to attach to it (for an example: A Toyota or BMW :P)?

[@WildNorWester]

That's in the model - you specify a mesh attachment. I find using content creator works best for this.

[@cameronfinnie9706]

Did every engine get a new voice actor?

[@tresandmyclass3494]

I know ur busy but can u put the link of where u got sir tophams car that would be AWESOME I've been looking for weeks but have have found N-O-T-H-I-N-G ive been working on a sodor route and thought that if i got his car i can make it drivable with the drivable superadaptor so if u could do that that would be great thanks

[@WildNorWester]

It's already drivable. But unfortunately, it's no longer available - the website for it has been taken down.

[@nathanhartwell2783]

Were did you get the new models for annie and clarabel?

[@Locomproduction123]

Where did you get TRS Daisy? I can't find it anywhere.

[@tencents6]

Imagine if Emily becomes the new controller of the railway when Sir Topham Hatt retires...if that happens, then I guess we couldn't call her "The Fat Controller" anymore. Maybe the Female Controller?

[@primetime5505]

That happened

[@tencents6]

@@primetime5505 Yeah, I know. This comment was made before, then.

[@primetime5505]

Ik

[@tasty024]

my childhood :)

[@kennethwestfall8733]

Where did you get the models for Annie and clarabel

[@NWR1914]

They were on the TheSudrianCommunity site but the link for them has been taken down last year and the site has shut down.

[@kennethwestfall8733]

NWR 1914 thanks

[@smeadowsLordIke]

Sth's daughter has a shining time station shirt on

[@Simh86]

So I know you left it unsaid but of course the reason Toby recognises Emily's aunt is because she's Bridget.

[@tresandmyclass3494]

oh ok but thank you but if you can would u be able to add cdp to ur website you would be doing me a huge favor I ve watched and loved every single one of your videos. If u could clone the car or something like that would be awesome please rply

[@WildNorWester]

I'm sorry, that's not how it works. I didn't make that car model, so I have no right or permission to redistribute it.

[@Hernan22H]

Can i voice percy because of his voice thats sound like an 19 years old guy

[@safarmer770]

are you all right WildNorWester

[@eddierools]

Is there any chance I could help out as a voice actor?

[@TrainGuy844]

he is using trs2010 engineers edition i know don't ask why.

[@lilcattythewildnorwester7786]

I think i saw a blue engine at 6:56

[@trainmaniacstudios8216]

+Jian Laws (lil-Catty) Donald / Douglas

[@CSX500]

That was either Donald Or Douglas

[@jamelcharles3357]

will u be doing anymore thomas series

[@WildNorWester]

I'm preparing STMY Season 2 right now. You can follow me on Twitter or Deviantart for the latest updates.

[@jamelcharles3357]

i am not on Twitter will the videos be on u tube ?

[@WildNorWester]

Yes.

[@jamelcharles3357]

what engines are you using and what does stmy stand for?

[@WildNorWester]

Sodor the Modern Years. That's my current series.

[@harryjohnson9215]

Well we know who Emily's favourite is

[@LittleNoddyLemmyVideos]

A stranger in need?? More like PERCY AND THE HALF PARIAH

[@TTTESEASON4FAN]

Yeah Percy

[@mattmurphie5107]

I thought Percy had a high voice

[@scout_troop3r]

why exactly is emma wearing a magic railroad t shirt?

[@WildNorWester]

It's not 'Thomas and the Magic Railroad', it's 'Shining Time Station'. The TV series exists within the universe of the series.

[@scout_troop3r]

Shining time station is from thomas and the magic railroad

[@scout_troop3r]

Shining time station is from thomas and the magic railroad

[@WildNorWester]

The Locomomo Shining Time Station was a TV series before the Thomas and the Magic Railroad movie, in the United States only. The movie was the first time non-Americans saw it. ttte.wikia.com/wiki/Shining_Time_Station

[@scout_troop3r]

Oh.... that explains alot

[@cedricanggawan7987]

Patricks head is alfies face

[@smeadowsLordIke]

Me and a couple of friends want to know if you could get an Instagram page

[@pepperthekobold]

I thought exactly the same.

[@shannonfitzallen2534]

good episode would of been better if emily's voice showed more pain for someone with a broken leg she was very fine about it I remember my broken leg I was everything but fine about it

[@scout_troop3r]

from thomas and the magic railrod movie

[@SudrianAfro]

Nice story man, but no offense as your narration sounds a little depressing and unenthusiastic.

[@alexduggan3909]

whats going on with the voices there all weird it sounds more like a gangster than a engine use old voices

[@joshuaacosta7165]

It true precy sounds like a gangster and he need to put there old voice not gangster voice

[@NWR1914]

Um that is Tines who made Tobias and the Half-Pariah. He also doesn't sound like a 'Gangster' :/.

[@NirateGoel]

Who and what? And at 8:24 it kinda does.

[@JohnSmith-pi3ls]

5:38 "Toby frowned." Toby is still smiling. You had *one* job.

[@WildNorWester]

Which one would that be? 1) Writing the script? 2) Organising and directing the voice actors? 3) Making the required models? 4) Filming the episode? 5) Editing the audio? 6) Editing the video? There's several jobs that go into the making of one of these episodes, all done by me working solo. So yes, the occasional mistake may slip through.

[@JohnSmith-pi3ls]

@@WildNorWester Dude, it was a joke. Calm down.

[@dosbrosgaming490]

first a sedan then a bmw ahahhahahah

[@LEVELCROSSING225]

Wierd looking 5 series BMW, Ford Sierra more like never mind Trainz don't use some cars.
