Such a great vid! Really neat to pair Duck with Thomas for once. Lovely sets and great shots. Wishing you a great 2022! 😄

The return of Oliver Duck

[@TrainKingJames]

Ted this was an awesome project. I love the special concept and hope to see more. I really love how this is a Thomas and Duck story. Typically, I’m used to Thomas being the more antagonistic but I love how Duck is the aggressor in this situation. The two are so similar in their drive and passions for their line so when they come together it makes sense they clash. But the resolution with Duck’s visitor and Thomas with the other engines having both sides come together was beautiful. Speaking of which, this is some of your best set work. Arlesburgh West is so awesome considering it’s all handcrafted and you can tell how much work went into it. The shots were well executed especially along the coastline. All and all great work and happy new year!

[@OliverDuck267]

Thanks James, Happy new year!

Cool work Ted I really loved it

[@Brakevan817]

Wow, this was great! The story, the sets, the customs, the music, everything, I almost got emotional at the end there

[@RomansTWREmpire]

Like I said earlier my friend, this was great! Absolutely love the winter delivery theme you included. The sets were great. This video finally gave us a good look at the interior of Tidmouth Station and it looks awesome. Glad you were able to pump this out Ted, and I was certainly glad to be able help you out! Happy New Year Edward!

[@OliverDuck267]

Thanks Roman, Happy new year!

[@thepoltroon992]

this is a masterpiece, good show old chap.

I'm really quite late to the party here, but I still think I should say that this was absolutely insane. Everything here was on point, great work.

[@OliverDuck267]

Thanks man!

[@UsefulEngine11]

What a wonderful story Ted. The sets look absolutely stunning so do the models and everyone who made this project possible did a great job. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

[@OliverDuck267]

thanks, and happy new year!

@@OliverDuck267 Was James voiced by train king james

[@thesudriana016]

Sorry for the late comment, but wonderful special! I'm so glad I could help out as Oliver's Driver. I was also quite surprised that you got Matthew Gamble to voice act as Gordon and the Ballast Spreader (and it has been a while since we last heard his voice that being Thomas' Magical Adventures). The sets look so beautiful and I enjoyed the rivalry between Thomas and Duck. My favorite custom model would have to be Tidmouth Station and Arlesburgh West. Happy New Year and looking forward to more content you have in store!

what a great story

[@OHNEY]

Gosh this was such a great prompt for a story, it feels right at place as in-between the timeline events. Not to mention Duck's stubbornness and rivalry with the other engines, and especially Thomas was fleshed out quite nicely. Fabulous work!

Thanks!

I hadn’t noticed this before, but on this rewatch, I noticed Thomas has the number “0” - how come he’s not number 1?

he dose not have a 0, he has a logo.
