Thomas' Friendship Tales - Episode 43: Thomas and the Old Oak Tree

[@tommytrainsbauerawesome9082]

(Sniff!!) Awwww!! That was the most beautiful episode adaptation I’ve ever seen!! The story was truly very heartfelt and we will always remember Thomas’ old driver for all the memories he made!! Plus The Island Song and the message at the end was a nice touch to pay tribute to your mother! Well done Avery and we know that from the bottom of our hearts that your mother will be very proud of you for making this episode to honor her and that she loves you very much just like we do! 🥹🥹🥹❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🌳🚂

[@racheljackson4428]

the way this episode tackled death is similar to how Sesame Street handled Mr Hooper's death. when The Actor Will Lee died, the cast and crew have no idea on how to address the passing, one person thought they would say he moved to another town but instead they decided to discuss death head on.

[@JonathanAsiamah]

That was an incredibly sweet episode, Avery. May your mum rest in peace.

It’s So Sad Even Knowing She Passed Away On My Birthday

[@peytonwright4732]

You and Thomas have my condolences as well as my empathy. I know what it’s like to lose someone you love. I lost my great-grandfather on my mother’s side, and my paternal grandmother.

[@downeystudios2001]

Avery, that story was beautiful but emotional too! It's so sad the driver had passed away and may he and your lovely mum rest in peace! Your mum would've loved this I'm sure! Well done! 💙💙💙

[@Jowilliams1749]

🥺🥺🥺😢😢😢😔😔😔 this is a very beautiful episode and a very beautiful tribute to your mother.

[@RandyOrton379]

This was a very touching episode, LittleBlueTrain67. I send my condolences to you as you have lost your mother. I bet she would’ve loved it watching it in heaven.

[@garrettsmith2776]

Favorite Moments: The “Wake Up Thomas” and “Good Night Thomas” don’t get old, but I think it’s time for another character to have the segment, maybe the character that would be in the lead role for the episode. How you draw the engine’s expressions (ever since Episode 10) never disappoint. The gut-churning instrumentals used when Thomas’ crew and STH broke the unfortunate news to him. The inside of the shed being modeled. I like you subtle you made Thomas’ tears, quite a glow up from Episode 1. 5:32 I don’t know if that was intentional or not but looks like Thomas derailed, it shows how depression can affect somebody. The masterpiece of an ending theme. The Island Song and how it was sung really fits the tone of the episode. 11:16 R.I.P. And I like that still with the birds chirping was used for the backdrop for the credits instead of the usual one.

[@sodorrailwaystudios2006]

This adaptation was beautiful. This was always one of my favourite Richard Jordan stories and you did amazing on it. Also I'm really sorry for your loss. I know what it's like to lose a loved one (my cat passed away a few months ago so I know exactly how you feel).

[@kylegraham6923]

That adaption you made, brought me to tear! 😭😭 Seeing this reminds me of my cousin who passed away two years ago, and I still miss very much! Even though he’s gone, he’ll always be in my heart, and I’ll always loved him! I hope you understand.

[@stuartbarclay7940]

This was really heartwarming!🥹 Sorry for your loss, mate...😔

[@luigifan2438]

This episode is just, I love it, If I was in this episode, I would give Thomas a very caring hug. I know he would like that as I am also emotional about stuff like this.

[@Leonardo-cw1dd]

damn this hits hard. im actually tearing up. and that is something that doesnt happen often. excellent job.

[@liamfitzgerald6311]

Such a sweet little story Avery. May Your Mum rest in peace 🙏🙏

[@auraknight1004]

[@shanehayessirhandel169]

[@ciarandaragh8676]

Wow This is such a beautiful episode adaptation man I really love it

[@jonathanperez2320]

Even the quarter of the story was a sad bit, but also came alright at the end. I see the miniature ertl thomas next to his old driver's tombstone in honor for thomas's driver. Nice video by the way, I see few of those videos of thomas and the old oak tree and it was about to make me cry.

[@Rizo2612Studios]

Quite an emotional but yet good episode Avery and may God bless your mum’s soul.

[@Benicthehedgehog]

I wonder if we will ever get a follow up on this with Bob & the can do Crew not knowing with Thomas still hurting from his old driver passing? It be interesting to see the Can do crew try to cheer Thomas up, & Bob thinking about trying to give a try to drive Thomas in case his new driver can’t make it to show he has those that he can count on.

[@ryanmatthews3609]

hope that happens and hope littlebluetrain67 would be great to make a follow up to with bob and the gang to help Thomas coup up for his old driver.

[@JMLion]

I would love to see Spud give Thomas Big Hug if he saw Thomas would Feel sad about his old driver passing

[@thomasfune3383]

Great story. A great tribute to your mum

[@TobyOliverHenryFan]

R.I.P. Bob, Thomas' driver. And your mother. My sincerest regards.

[@FRIEND38]

[@erickbuicio8792]

[@princesslayla2090]

I remember watching that episode, I felt very sorry for Thomas, his old driver had passed away, but Thomas will always visit the old oak tree 🌳 anytime he wants 😊 and rest in peace Susan Dawn Perkins ⚰️🪦

[@TylerJWolfe-et4od]

@LittleBlueTrain67 are You adding a lot more Bob The Builder crossovers in Thomas' Friendship Tales Series ?

[@JurgenYongJY96]

Fantastic beautiful episode, this one is so emotional episode by Richard Jordan about Thomas' Old Driver is passed away in the Old Oak Tree is so heartwarming idea that I love your use a Stuart Little music at the end is so perfect, it's so fabulous to have Thomas as main role and so sorry to hear that your Mother is passed away, wish all the best!

[@unnameduser06]

🌺Hopes your mother (Susan) have a heart for you. May she peacefully to be remembered. Mr. Blue. The Old Oak Tree story was a heavy heart story and a very emotional one. In a resting place. When souls have a loving memorial to be proper burial.❤️ Hope this video was dedicated to her deeply you loved.🫂🕊️ If my mom says, if she passes away in future, she uses told me once that her resting spot will be in the water, quiet and peaceful, blissfully nature. As long of my mom still living with me till this day, I hope i has a future despite trying times kept burden to us, at least we may together without destroying our lives.🌻🪷 -Love this video dude.

Simply wonderful! 🙏

[@chaddy8833]

R.I.P Bob

[@freyathompson592]

Amazing work!!!!

[@JintyandPugFan20]

Beautiful adaptation

[@ExpressRailfan]

I felt the same way when Emmett Till passed away on February 14th, 1955. That led me into tears.

[@chaddy8833]

I know you've been through alot LittleBlueTrain67. But know matter what happenes, us view's will always be there for you.

[@mattdisney1132]

Nice and sad story

[@Super_idiotX]

And From that day forward The statue is still there. And Thomas come there everyday.

[@IZK-c1w]

Don’t worry, Thomas invite your brother Timothy to comfort you

[@ThomasTenCents34526]

I'm looking forward to this, but it sound similar to a trainz remake.

[@Leonardo-cw1dd]

i think its more of an adaptation than a full on remake

[@mattdisney1132]

I feel very sorry for Thomas.

[@carterher8082]

7:56 I mean age happens everyday with people, one thing is that they’ll be there for you in your future. This music the scene from Toy Story 4, at the beginning where Bo Peep got donated, and said her goodbye to Woody.

[@hiattgrey9161]

It kinda sounds like it's from Stuart Little.

[@Thomasscoopbobsonic]

Calling it now, at the end of this season Wendy will return!

[@tylerthetankengine2699]

I love it and at the end is the little Thomas model suppose to be a Thomas shape grave stone

[@jeremiahsisaias8677]

I'm sorry to hear about your mom... 😔 It seems like Henry isn't the only engine who appreciates nature.

[@appletrain1007]

I love this one ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@theamericane2tb100]

Aw you even left a little Thomas near his driver's grave 😢

[@Archiebugg]

I have a episode suggestion do a episode where Roley meets up with George the steam roller and Roley tries to make friends of him but George just causes trouble

[@Pro_gamer236]

This story still makes me cry

[@matthewbauerle3109]

Sounds Like Thomas Is A Really Useful Engine After All......

[@Walker443]

Is it a bad thing if I asked would we even see the “Can Do Crew” ever work with the Pack? Aka “Jack and the sodor construction crew” ever work together that or even get competitive or anything in the next episode?

[@spencergayan2426]

Sir Topham Hatt spoke with feeling and told Thomas to take his old driver to his final resting place. His driver is in a better place now.

[@maxtopia5733]

I see the oak tree at the park

[@ThomasTenCents34526]
