Rest In Peace Michael Angelis, our narrator. Our voice of Thomas. You're already missed beyond measure. 1952-2020.
The Rev. Awdry's Railway Series is as of 12th May 2020 75 years old. To mark the occasion (although a little late!) I take a look back at what the books and TV show have meant to me growing up, appreciating how it has affected who I am today, and trying to understand just what makes it all so significant. I hope many of you will share the memories mentioned in this nostalgia trip.
I also hope this isn't too cringe-worthy! I've made this video time and time again at various stages but never been happy with the final result. As this is an important occasion, I've held my breath and just gone for it this time, so enjoy! It's made with the presumption that there will be both Thomas fans and non-Thomas fans watching, and similarly fans of the books and fans of the show.
A special thank you to Drawing425 for their permission to use various related artwork in this video, and to Tom's Railway Series Modelling, Thomas Fan Office and LewCoon for their photo contributions.
And, of course, thank you to the Awdry family and everybody along the route that has made the Island of Sodor come to life. Happy 75th!

@@Terrier55Stepney The true reason for Thomas's endurance is the same as Paddington Bear, Winnie the Pooh, etc.; its roots stemmed from personal family-based situations. This combined with utmost attention to authenticity on the Rev Awdry's part, made the original books distinct enough to please Britt Allcroft to want to make their potential go further, and in turn a lot of people. I can give a credit for both Awdry and Allcroft having an intertwined effect on the inspiration for my work. Samuel F.

I know what you mean, though I am American, Thomas was TRULY a HUGE part of my childhood. I rediscovered my love of Thomas and friends about three years ago, and my love of model railways, which has led me to volunteer in the restoration of Maine Central railroad locomotives #470 , here in Maine where I live. I hope to one day help operate the locomotive when it is returned to service.

Thank you very much for such a nostalgic and well deserved tribute video to such a wonderful piece of childhood importance. I grew up with Thomas and still to this very day enjoy it (although I do wish the CGI series would make more fitting and better stories...sing alongs are a bit much). What’s even more personal for me is that my little nephew is into Thomas as well, which gives me great pleasure in nurturing his growing love of steam trains and the magical world of Thomas and all his friends. Thank you for such a great video and keep up the good work 👍🏻 Now I’m going to subscribe to your channel and show my nephew your video content as I’m sure he would love to watch some new ‘homemade’ content.

Awesome! Thomas has always been a huge part of my childhood too, even inspired me to love trains! Sadly, I have been bullied at school for liking Thomas, even forced by a teaching assistant to stop watching the show and any other show for young kids because I was getting too old for them, but fortunately, I have made plenty of friends who appreciate me and have loved Thomas themselves! And you're lucky to have found a girl who hugely supports your love for Thomas, as I don't know how I could without meeting my girlfriend (even though she is so demanding) and a woman that I made friends with who used to love watching Thomas until Mattel decided to make their changes after series 21 and take her favourite character Edward out of the spotlight just for the sake of introducing more female characters.

"Look Gary there I am", the red tank engine at 9:18 in the second row from the top. But seriously this was an amazing video pretty much encapsulates why people like Thomas so much. There is a reason why this brand has lasted for so many years, and hopefully will continue on, inspiring and helping people and, in some cases, get them to where they are today. Really enjoyed it, keep up the good work.

Heheh your reasons behind why you love Thomas is exactly the reasons I love them. And just like me, I was born in the wrong era and on the wrong continent. And like you, I think Thomas is where I learned most words that you'd NEVER hear in normal television shows. I think you captured everything that made this show the biggest thing around for all us fans. I remember my when my mother once said she had thoughts about writing a little biography about me early years called Trains In My Bed cause she would sometimes head to bed only to find some of my Ertle trains in her bed. She knew Thomas was my life, and she always told me I should one day head to the company who makes the show since I love film. Bless her heart and soul for supporting me through my whole life with never leaving childhood behind.... RIP Interesting story: I remember ONE time when I was in first grade, and I told the class TWO stories from Thomas (heavily paraphrased of course since I was too excited/young to be a proper story teller) "Duncan gets spooked" and "Haunted Henry." And yeah, some kids did tease me about Thomas later when we grew out of childish things, but I didn't give two cares what they had to say. I've never looked back And like you, Thomas has paved the way for my life; going into making films and writing as well as model making.

My dear Max, you are truly speaking from my heart. You know you're watching someone who thinks quite alike when you're smiling the whole way through! :D Our favourite show has made so many people what and who they are today, including myself. Be it as it may today, whether one might like it or not, the true legacy of the Railway Series will always live on in our hearts, I'm sure. Also, may I say it's so wonderfully sweet to see little you playing with his toy trains and out on the Bluebell.... I must say, my story regarding all of this was quite similar! I was introduced to Thomas via TV at a very young age too, and after that it was nothing else but Thomas Wooden Railway for Christmas or birthdays! :-) And when I visited the ZLSM (the railway I'm volunteering at today) with my family for the first time - I was three years old and it was my first time seeing a real life steam engine - it was absolutely certain that this passion for steam railway locomotives was the passion of my lifetime! You've done a brilliant look (back) on the show and hobby we all love so dearly here. Again, you're truly speaking from my heart! Cheers mate!

I'm sorry but does anyone else think it's kind of weird that the skarloey railway is essentially the tally Flynn Railway just on Sodor and with faces?

question what year were you born and what is the earlyist year you can remember ? I was born in 2005 and can remember 2009 Max I want to give you a hug for making the best videos ever and being great in ever single way ! at 2:11-14 the person with you sounds a bit like smurfydan. I want to make a video like this but Im not good at editing yet so the video will look rubbish !

the latest stuff is just a shadow of what the books are, I thought to myself " hey! it's CGI! They can finish the books properly!" Sadly I don't think that will ever happen at this point, BUT! that being said the fan community is coming out with some pretty good stuff that is very close to what the Rev and his son have written.

This franchise is repsonsible for pretty much shaping my interestsn and hobbies. I’m pretty sure it’s why blue is my favourite colour, why I like trains, how I got into other anthropomorphic series like Cars, and my obsession over franchises with a distinct roster of colourful characters. I love this franchise as I did way back when. I’m too old to watch it, but it remains in my mind forever.
