Sodor the Modern Years: Dime for Trouble

[@sawyerawr5783]

"Dime for Trouble" with Ten Cents as the main character...not gonna lie that took me a minute. clever, very, very clever indeed...

[@DieselofAlrest]

It took me a long time too.

[@engineerskalinera]

i got that immediately

Train Master I didn't notice until now.... 😆

[@Ace_DM_2520]

Can’t believe it took me this long to realise this

[@geographyRyan]

I love how Ten Cents is flying the Sudrian flag from his mast. Nice attention to detail.

[@WildNorWester]

Thanks :)

[@MilkTankerMedia]

This was a beautiful tribute episode and the Thomas-TUGS crossover we've been dreaming of for years. Well-written, well-shot, and well-acted. Absolutely terrific, well done!

[@oscardavidson2139]

when i was little i always thought the two universes existed together

[@lolman9630]

One of the little reasons i love Sodor: The Modern Years is the clever writing when it comes to the characters trying to grasp what the internet is, and other modern things like that. Its really funny and charming x')

[@WildNorWester]

Thank-you :).

[@nzardoin]

The voice actor for 10 cents did a great job. You could really get the emotion out of it. Superb!

[@TobyandMavisforever]

So that's what happened to Hercules. Poor Big Mac though... And I wonder what became of Sunshine, OJ, Top Hat and Warrior? From what I researched, Sunshine is Ten Cent's best friend, so I imagine that would have been really difficult for them to separate. Edward and Boco know each other so well, it's like they can read each other's minds. Neat! Bill and Ben was super cute, as usual. And yes, news spreads round like hot cakes. At any rate, the engines are going to find out about this series on KZbin! That'd be hilarious!

[@WildNorWester]

Poor Big Mac? I never said what happened to him.

[@TobyandMavisforever]

Oh... right. Well, Ten Cents has no clue on what happened to his friend. He may think that Big Mac was bombed or sunk or something like that.

[@DieselofAlrest]

So many things that happened in this video raised so many questions: Who was Ten Cents' replacement, and will we ever get to see him/her? What really happened to Big Mac, and will Ten Cents ever discover his fate? And will we ever get to know what happened to the other Star Tugs, Z-Stacks, and the other characters from TUGS we knew and loved? I guess we'll never know, or maybe we will, one day. Who knows? All in all, though, this was a fantastic episode, and I'm happy Ten Cents is in good hands now. I'm looking forward to what you have to offer next. :)

[@Ben31337l]

I don't think ten cents would have been replaced by another tug boat. I think this because most modern ships comes with bow and stern thrusters, this enables them to move sideways which enables them to dock easier. They're frequently seen on large sea-going vessels, but they can be seen on small feeders too. I'm surprised that the dock still sees use due to the old technology sodor uses.

[@Network1245_Productions]

Another question: Since Lakesider III is a retooling O.J. dose that meen that Ten Cents will reunite with O.J. who's Trainz model will be repainted in Lakesider III's livery.

This is a really great episode. On the WWII bit, I was like 'Big Mac! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!'

[@Danthe25Man]

You never cease to amaze ALL of us Dan! This story is mind blowing and thrilling to say the least! From Ten Cents being saved from scrapped by The Fat Controller, to him rescuing Hubert from a fierce storm and then settling into his new home at the Normaby Marina, I'm speechless! I did notice that slight tone of doubt in the fat controller's voice when she was talking to Ten Cents towards the end of the story. I enjoyed every moment of this adventure and I look forward to more stories in the foreseeable future! Well done mate!

[@russellgxy2905]

I'm just now realizing how weathered Ten Cents looks in this episode. And then I realize he's over 90 years old going by when TUGS and this series take place

[@blasterblaster1221]

this was amazing....I have wanted to see the tugs get more stories for years and you have made it happen....I know since this is the final season we won't get all out questions answered but I'm glad that a little tugboat has finally found a new home

There's one more season after this one.

[@timoilonen1926]

You weren't the only one!

[@Percyfan1998]

I wonder if we'll ever get to meet that new tugboat for Brendam Docks... Ah well, sorry to hear about what might've happened to Big Mac though. Now I see what Atlas was referring to when he said he saw one of his friends in a newspaper, nice writing out that rescue operation. And I'm certainly glad Ten Cents was saved, would've been a shamed if he had. I guess preservation really is a mercy for all!

[@NickolasMontagnino]

Whoa I can't believe Big Mac didn't make it or he probably did and at less we know what happen to Hercules. Maybe later on we'll find out what happened to Warrior, Tophat, Sunshine, Oj, Grampus, and the Z-Stacks since the second world war.

[@WildNorWester]

The rest of the Star Fleet stayed back in Bigg City.

[@DieselofAlrest]

WildNorWester I know you're not planning on putting them in your series, but if I ever do become a Trainz model maker, I hope to make the rest of the Star Tugs, and the Z-Stacks for Trainz one day. Though I imagine it's going to be very hard.

[@Trainlover1995]

+Nickolas Montagnino You know, I wouldn't put it past Big Mac to not only escape the U-boat, but also ram it. If he escaped, he probably got sent to different harbor than Ten Cents and Hercules. As for the rest, OJ was probably the first to be scrapped, Warrior was also scrapped, Sunshine is preserved around the Sodor area, Grampus is also preserved, and the Z-Stacks may have all been "volunteered" for Operation: Minnow by Captain Zero and all sunk, ruining Captain Zero. Top Hat is with a Sudrian tugboat fleet, as I like to think Wildnorwester's universe is shared with TUGS: Tales from Sodor. For a few of the characters you didn't mention, Izzy Gomez, Lord Stinker, Nantucket, Burke & Blair, Sea Rogue and his uncle, Mighty Moe, Little Ditcher, Fire Tug, Old Rusty, Coast Guard, his messenger, Billy Shoepack, Pearl, Scuttlebutt Pete, and the White Fleet were also scrapped, Bluenose was scrapped after being court-martialled for the incident with the munitions (alot of military personnel and seamen were probably killed) as a form of execution, Big Mickey was salvaged and brought to Brendam, and additional cranes of his design were built around Sodor, Puffa is preserved at an American railroad museum, Frank and Eddie are also preserved somewhere as examples of 1920s carfloats, The Duchess, Princess Alice, SS Vienna, Sally Seaplane, and the Navy Ship from "Regatta" were all victims of World War II, Lillie Lightship is also preserved at the National Maritime Museum with Hercules, and the Fultan Ferry was refitted after being refloated and sold to the North Western Railway, who used her through the 1980s as part of BRs Sealink fleet (as part of the fleet, she carried the TOPS number 99 015), and is now preserved at the South Street Seaport.

[@JosephRailwayStudios2000]

@@Trainlover1995what about Boomer (my favourite character)

[@eddierools]

@@JosephRailwayStudios2000 Probably stayed as a house boat for a good number of years before eventually being scrapped. House boats of that vintage typically aren't so lucky to be preserved

[@marbleman5669]

I recently finished watching this entire series, and it is beyond amazing. you are a great storyteller (especially with the darker plots), and the production is incredibly solid for the most part. I will say that the audio could be equalized better with the voices and the music at times, but that's really my only complaint. I'm really intrigued with where the series is going, and I really can't wait!

[@MilkDrinker218]

This is what we need, a good tugs and Thomas the tank engine crossover

[@LittleNoddyLemmyVideos]

Ten cents has a voice like something you would hear in the CGI era

[@epic_dudew1977]

15:43. I’m confused on Emily Hatt wearing her worried face when she said “Yes, I suppose so.”

[@WildNorWester]

It reminded her of something bad in her past. To be elaborated on later.

[@TheBlueE2]

15:46, Yes, I suppose so :( Wonder if that's leading up to something. If there's one word I could use to describe this, it's: heartwarming. I was already happily content with the TUGS crossover in Last Straw, (Had thought it was to be only TUGS inclusion in STMY) but expanding on it more was a real treat. Loved every section of this episode, and Ten Cents blended in really well here, which was an incredible feat to pull off. Anyone can mash a crossover into motion but it takes some skilled writing to make it work :)

[@colbyjames7205]

Of course being my favourite parallel universe with Tugs and Thomas it feels great to conclude where Ten Cents ends his days in retirement in preservation. Although hopefully who knows what the future brings I hope we could see him reunite with Sunshine that be nice unfortunately since I am not a script writer or producer I haven’t the rights to tell the director what to do as it’s Wildnorwester’s choice apparently. But hopefully as time progresses maybe we might oneday see Sunshine or the Star fleet and Z Stacks oneday if they’re still alive of course Hercules is and Big Mac’s fat is unknown to this day. As a shout out to WildnorWester this is one of the best episodes to date and it’s a fave.

I quite like these videos as it is good seeing across over between Tugs and Thomas the tank engine and friends. I mentioned videos like this in a comment on one of the Tugs Episodes that I recently watched

[@seangannon1919]

Well, one thing's for sure. Top Hat could've volunteered for Operation Minnow too. Perhaps that's how he ended up at Brendam Docks somehow, where he met Wilbur and Gaz and purchased by Captain Edson as his tugboat #3. Folks, go ahead and watch the TUGS: Tales from Sodor videos, and you'll see.

[@Plokman040]

Norwester you've done it again. You truly are a excellent writer and producer as well as a good friend. I hope Ten Cents one day knows what happned to Big Mac. Even if it is the worst news at least he'd know his friend's fate. No no don't think I'm asking you to make a video of it. I just hope by chance we hear it is all. Well done and now you can take a well earned break.

[@aj50person82]

This episode is somewhat reminiscent of Eppleton Hall's story. Saved mainly by two men and having a stormy trip to the site of preservation. The only difference (Apart from several others) is that Ten Cents rescued another vessel. Unless...

[@frankydman]

Excellent story. While it is saddening to hear that Big Mac may not have made it, I do know one thing... per the Chekhov's gun principle, Big Mac would only be mentioned if there was purpose for him to appear in the future. So perhaps there will be a story in the future where Ten Cents does get some closure with Big Mac. On the other Hand, Wildnorwester may have different plans in store. Either way, we are in for a great series. Keep up the great work, wildnorwester!

[@dakotamoody9745]

So, with this episode, we know about Ten Cents, Hercules and Big Mac apparently still being active after the 20s, but Big Mac is either Sunk, or somewhere else(Maybe a future story or video?) So that begs the question, WHAT happened to the other tugs, Stars AND Zeroes? Like, are they all scrapped? Or are SOME Scrapped and some in other harbors or museums? I don't know if you've actually thought this out, but I am curious to how YOU would answer this question.

[@gregkiteos1936]

Good story. I'm guessing (and hoping) that this story foreshadows Big Mac's return in the next or another future episode.

[@JosephRailwayStudios2000]

That would be interesting and what about the other stars too

[@trainfan-ks5hk]

I wonder if some of the engines are a bit jealous of ten cents ability to turn his head We need a new episode where the star crew are reunited along with the Z-stacks and Big Mac comes back.

[@ZackAttackProductions]

Awesome story! I really liked how you wrote a story about Ten Cents. It's something people would expect to see when it comes to the topic of Thomas & Friends. Just out of curiosity, is there one more story to this collection, or is that it?
