Thomas & Friends - Signals - Hornby/ Bachmann TFTT

[@Eddy2730]

This is a good video but the only criticism I would make is as follows: the yellow fish tail-shaped signal arm with the black v-shaped band is a distant signal. When this particular arm is in the horizontal position, it doesn't tell the driver to stop but to slow down, and get ready to stop. Only the signals with the red arms (each with a vertical white band), known as stop signals tell the driver to stop when the arm is in the horizontal position.

thanks for the info, i genuinely didn’t know that and i appreciate it. in future, i’ll make sure to stay true to that. always open to learning new things about railways!

[@greenio2011]

percy and james are such a good pair, please do more with them together, it’s too good to only get one episode

[@EngineShedStudios]

This story was very character-driven. I love that. Definitely my favorite episode so far.

[@XleeHS]

definitely my favorite one i’ve made! trying to stray more to my own type of writing rather than being closer to the original type of writing. gotta be different to stand out 🤷‍♂️ glad you enjoyed the vid, always look forward to your comment!

[@legominecraftrailway7404]

I loved Jameses I don’t care attitude. Lots of funny lines and great delivery. Percy is maybe a bit more naïve then he should be but, honestly, this just makes it funnier

[@XleeHS]

thank you! had to make percy a little goofier than usual for the story to work. would’ve used bill or ben but unfortunately the hornby ones aren’t the easiest to find 😭

[@FlatMagnets1992]

Wow, you’ve outdone yourself, man! The script was a blast this time around. Love the different character dynamics and bits of humor. The way different characters respond to the same situations does a great job of showing their different personalities, like how Emily was confused by James’ supposed “day off” but remained polite, then how Gordon really wasn’t buying it but didn’t have time to humor the situation further, to having Duck be the one to sniff out James’ BS and come to Percy’s defense (just like he did for Percy when he first arrived on the railway - fitting). Lots of great shots in this one too! I loved all the camerawork of Percy inspecting all of those signals alone - that sort of mundane comedy was really accented by the camerawork. The highlight in this one has to be the chase sequence - super fun. It’s a great comedic moment when James and Duck, who were enemies just a second ago, suddenly realize they need to work together to prevent a bigger threat. Everyone watching in confusion as the engines sped past them totally reminded me of “Busy Going Backwards” and “Thomas and the Jet Engine.” Super entertaining. I love the music you chose for the sequence as well - the music selections this time around had a great deal of variety that I definitely appreciated. All in all, well done! Another hit for the books, and I daresay a new high moment for this channel.

thank you so much! i love for comments like these, i’m glad you enjoyed the episode. it’s my personal favorite so far and i enjoyed making it! always appreciate your feedback! 💯

[@Mason58654]

Fun story and I like your usage of Hornby models. The cameos of Stepney are nice, too. 👍

[@XleeHS]

thank you! love the hornby stepney 💯💯

[@TerencetheTractor525]

Great job once again! The runaway sequence was awesome, and the inclusion of the Mozart Turkish March was especially creative. Definitely something I could have seen Mike & Junior merge in, had they continued to compose music for the show past Season 7.

[@XleeHS]

i appreciate it! always wanted to do one of the classic over the top thomas runaways haha!

[@Disspam777]

This has gotta be my favorite from the whole series. I love the chase scene.

[@michaelkoci9250]

This was Great! I loved all your episodes, this is the better version than the HIT Era. I can't wait to see more amazing adventures you have planned.

[@XleeHS]

thank you! my goal is to give off the HiT aesthetic while making more creative, character driven stories. Glad you enjoyed the episode!

“I made the mistake of wanting to work here” idk why but that line killed me

I love this version of Percy he is so gullible and cute not the “proper” Percy but I love the interpretation. And James is very much like his CGI version. Great episode

Is it me or percy has a more energetic personality than his tvs counterpart. Hes also more childish if you ask me. Besides that its all fine tho

[@XleeHS]

it’s my own interpretation. Percy is naïve but he ain’t stupid, he wants the best for his friends and the railway… but def not the most experienced engine out there haha😭

This is great! I think you should replace annie and clarabel with custom bogie coaches, as you know most hornby engines are based on rws and not tvs.

true, but i like the shorter annie and clarabel. something about them just works for me 🤷‍♂️ glad you liked the video!
