[@Douglas57647]

Oh, this theme is legendary! The breakdown train wasn't a sentient character, but I think the theme associated with it is one of the most iconic in the show. The mechanical percussion fits absolutely perfectly, and the slow pace and low pitch really captures the seriousness of an accident cleanup situation. Definitely one of your best covers yet, everything about it was just masterful!

[@InstrumentManiac]

Totally! Crazy a theme not associated with a character is so memorable & well written. Thanks for watching Douglas! 😄

The same breakdown train that was in that one episode who is apparently alive in the adventure begins which I find really weirdAnd stupid because why can’t it be just like the model trains

I really liked the use of the ratchet in the percussion, it really did bring the crane to life ☺️

[@InstrumentManiac]

Glad you liked it!

[@davidscholz3041]

I've especially wanted to mention that I personally do wanna completely obviously admirably agree that the ratchet sounds great with the other percussion instruments as they certainly do perfectly resemble the cranes as they lift James back onto the tracks AFTER a montage of Thomas the Tank Engine teaching the Troublesome Trucks an officially simply important lesson for James off the tracks when his wooden brake blocks suddenly caught fire! In fact, the ratchet actually made it feel like BOTH cranes on the breakdown train certainly seemed to BASICALLY have been brought to life; which certainly did ACTUALLY EVENTUALLY FINALLY happen during the movie titled The Adventure Begins as the pair of cranes were obviously ACTUALLY been very consistently FINALLY given names: Judy and Jerome! In fact, it's completely obviously clear that Thomas surely DIDN'T ACTUALLY leave the Works Unit coach behind unlike back in the show's very own complete model era during the classic series!

Honestly, the flute bit made me think of the part of Thomas and the Breakdown train when he's moving the trucks away and telling them off before they get to lifting James. Works very nicely.

[@idraote]

This arrangement is SO impressive! It ticks all of my like buttons: - strong rhythm, ominous atmosphere, complex colourings... Very well done, Luke! It also reminded me of a Vivaldi concerto in several places, what with those full strings so very well developed. I liked it really much.

I feel like I have to share this. So me, my husband and my son were doing some errands around town and my husband stopped at a store to pick up some stuff. My son and I stayed in the van because Covid. So he's getting bored and grumpy and I pop on your playlist and hook it up to the vans audio. By the time my husband came back, this song gets to the part with the cornets. He begins backing up when he hears the "car horn" cornets and immediately brakes, only realizing a second later it was the song. So... If you're going to listen to the playlist and drive, be warned about the car horns 🤣

In fact, the footage in the middle of the screen was basically from the episode titled Thomas Saves the Day when Thomas the Tank Engine rescued James from a serious accident when his wooden brakes caught fire resulting the observation of Thomas the Tank Engine getting his own Branch Line!

You can thank the musical geniuses who composed the music, Mike O’Donnell and Junior Campbell It’s also worth thanking Britt Allcroft as she specifically requested that the music isn’t dumbed down to kids and can be enjoyed by all ages.

I've especially wanted to mention that I personally noticed that 1 of the instruments used for the cover of the theme of the breakdown train featured a Wooden Railway version of the breakdown train; which certainly happens to be exactly just 1 of the pieces of rolling stock by Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway in my collection of different ranges of toys inspired by the famous TV show that'd been based on the Railway Series written by the famous Rev W Awdry who wrote 'em for his son named Christopher who was basically considered to be very Ill straight 'round the age of 3 years old!

“Down a mine is he?” Gordon laughed, “What a joke.” Gordon soon arrived and inspected the scene. “Now Gordons here to laugh at me” Thomas said quietly to himself. Strong chains were attached to the front of Gordon and the back of Thomas. “Ready sir!” Said a workman. “Remove the slack” The Fat Controller shouted to Gordons crew. “No worries little Thomas” Gordon said, “I shall have you out in a few puffs”“On three! One, two THREE!” The Fat Controller boomed. The chain tightened and Gordon’s wheels slipped and spun, sending sparks into the air. “HEAVE!” Sir Topham yelled. Steam poured out of Gordon’s funnel and valves as he began to move backwards, taking Thomas with him. “THE SAFETY VALE’S GOING TO BURST!” The driver shouted “KEEP GOING, ALMOST THERE!” Said the Fat Controller. Gordon put all his weight backwards “COME, HRG, ON, NEARLY, GRR, THERE!” Gordon said, straining greatly, then, finally, all six of Thomas’ wheels were safely on solid ground. “Told you it would be easy…” Gordon panted, out of breath. I liked my own comment

I've especially almost forgotten to mention that the season 1 breakdown train theme was also apparently used in the episode where Gordon ran straight into a ditch to simply avoid the task of pulling a goods train, and especially since the theme occurred during the show's montage of Gordon finally getting rescued from the ditch by a pair of tender engines known as James and Henry were mentioned to be helping him, but only James was seen in the episode's montage that took place during nighttime!

[@davidscholz3041]

I've especially would also apparently have to completely agree that this theme certainly is remarkably legendary since I've basically heard it throughout several seasons of the show when the models were still being used, but that certainly changed when the breakdown train made a character comeback in The Adventure Begins when the show went full CGI animation! As an added surprise, the cranes were actually given names: Judy and Jerome!

[@davidscholz3041]

I've especially wanted to mention that Thomas left the small works unit coach behind in the classic series, but he actually brought it with the cranes in the Adventure Begins as to carry the workmen to the accident sight!

[@davidscholz3041]

I've especially wanted to mention that the breakdown train hadn't been used for such a long time after they've built the Sodor search and Rescue Center! But, not until their chance for the fine pair of cranes finally got a chance to be Really Useful by helping Daisy the diesel railcar! That certainly reminded the Fat Controller how Rocky ain't the only breakdown crane on the North Western Railway, and especially made a proposal for the cranes to stay @ Arlsebrugh goods yard to be on standby in case of an emergency on the west coast of the island!

[@davidscholz3041]

I've especially wanted to mention that I personally took notice that Thomas left the small works unit coach behind in the show's very own complete model era during the show's very own complete 1st season, but he certainly DIDN'T ACTUALLY leave it behind when he took the crew to the scene of the accident AFTER explaining 'bout James'wooden brake blocks suddenly catching fire while trying really hard to slow him down by trying really hard to couple up behind the brake van!

[@davidscholz3041]

I've especially wanted to mention that I personally love how the snare drum joins the ratchet in resembling the pair of cranes on the breakdown train as they certainly were ACTUALLY working very hard to lift James back onto the tracks before Thomas helped him back to Tidmouth Sheds in the show's very own complete 1st season of the classic era, but it's completely obviously clear that Thomas took James to the Sodor Steamworks to be repaired in the movie titled The Adventure Begins before returning to Tidmouth Sheds where he'd been proudly rewarded with his own Branch Line that runs from Knapford Station to Ffarquhar Quarry!
