To Be An Engine

Jinty, Pug, and Stepney are all called from England to help on Thomas' branch line. After Thomas' infamous accident, Jinty's thoughts on Thomas and Sodor's overall worth appear. Stepney notices and tries to persuade Jinty about his own worth, feeling that something more serious is at play.

have always loved how thomas fanvid creators subtly add meme sound effects

[@thesudricenginee]

Something about your stories just hit different. The dialogue especially. Good job !!

[@Thatonesaddletank]

This story is great, Jinty is obviously a main here, going through an amazing through a BIG character arc, and all the other engines have star roles here!

[@RED-1635]

0:09 the look at this dude laugh fits so well😂

[@Ryder-a-Blaze]

Pug’s name suits him well

[@theblackleafninja3858]

This story was amazing and I like how we can recognize certain characters before they came to the railway and there previous livery’s and the cinematic shots are 10/10

[@DevonLMS]

Agreed

[@SirEzaq60163]

Jinty:Oi wicky wicky you gotta stay away from London you know. Giggleswick: Shove off Jinty

[@teaoftraffic]

To be honest, there should be more stories about Jinty and Pug and how they contrast to Thomas and Percy. There haven’t been many stories with them in the limelight. Most of them, they’re simply background characters. also jinty in this is what charile *SHOULD’VE BEEN CHARACTERISED AS.* sarcastic, jokey, but doesn’t let it affect his work ethic or his friendships

[@tfarstudios391]

Spectacular work my good man, everything was perfect, the writing, the characters, everything included resulted in this being your best video. But i think the thing that really brung it all together was the music. I cannot stress from a personal standpoint how important the music is to a video / movie, and you chose songs that really made this a 10/10. Amazing work, keep it up👍

[@LittleWesternerProductions]

Thank you much, my good man! And to anyone who sees this comment: I highly recommend you listen to the basis of the music, Songs from Friday Afternoons and Gassenhauer by professional musicians; it is excellent music!

[@tfarstudios391]

I'll definitely give these songs a listen👍 cheers

[@user-uj9ih6ff2p]

I love the runaway

[@thecentralfloridarailroader]

Wonderful story! The visual's, narrating, music, and message were quite the treat! I only today found out about your work though, through the means of one infamous story with a rather controversial legacy. But I read your apology in your community tab and had a look at your little story with diesel, and after watching this it's safe to say your now one of my favorite Thomas content creators now lol. Keep up the good work!

[@LittleWesternerProductions]

Yeah, I’m sorry that you had to deal with that video. I appreciate the support, man!

[@BessemerProd]

Finally! Somebody made an episode of Sodor while the main cast was gone! I've always wondered what it would be like while the main roster would be gone and finally I have the answer! Amazing video as usual!

[@lukemendel8197]

I agree! The visiting engine had to have stories that happened while they where there. I would love more of these.

[@Arkay315]

Very nice, I like how some locomotive that would are there filling in for the main 8 are Rosie and murdoch.

[@stupideronjupiter]

This was a utterly lovely video to watch. The story was quite wonderful and the filming of it (especially the camerawork, god the framing's lovely) was a joy to watch. I'm glad I got this treat in my recommended videos. Keep up the good work and I look forward to your future content!

[@MrTr44]

i wrote you an episode Rusty and Peter Sam were sitting together on the picturesque island of Sodor, enjoying a peaceful afternoon. As they watched the trains go by, Rusty couldn't help but recall some amusing incidents involving their friend, Duncan. "Duncan certainly knows how to rock and roll," Rusty chuckled, causing Peter Sam to giggle in agreement. "Do you remember the time when Duncan managed to derail himself?" Peter Sam laughed, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Oh, how could I forget! He was in such a rush that he went off the rails and fell straight into the mud." Duncan, who happened to overhear their conversation, puffed up to join them, a scowl on his face. "You two find my misadventures hilarious, don't you?" Rusty and Peter Sam exchanged mischievous glances before bursting into laughter again. "Well, Duncan," Rusty managed to say between chuckles, "you must admit, your escapades always add excitement to our days." Duncan huffed and rolled his eyes dramatically. "Excitement…I guess you could call it that!" Determined to prove himself, Duncan fluffed his pistons and steamed over to Gordon, who was standing in the yard. "Hey, Gordon, what crashes have you had recently?" Gordon, feeling a bit grumpy, moaned and replied, "Oh, Duncan, I crashed into the new station wall. It was a rather embarrassing moment, I must say. And then, to top it off, I went past a go slow sign and ended up falling into a field!" Duncan's eyes widened with surprise and a hint of satisfaction. "You crashed into a new station wall? That's something new!" Gordon rolled his eyes, admittedly a bit embarrassed by his recent mishaps. "Well, accidents happen, Duncan. It's not like any engine is perfect." Feeling a mixture of anticipation and a desire to prove himself, Duncan puffed away towards the campsite. He remembered another occasion when he had gotten himself stuck in a tunnel due to his love for rocking and rolling. He approached the tunnel cautiously this time, his wheels trembling slightly with the memory. As he made his way through successfully, a sense of pride washed over him. Perhaps, despite his mischievous nature, Duncan could learn to be a bit more careful. From that day forward, Duncan still had his fair share of adventures, but he began to exercise a bit more caution. He became the engine who balanced excitement with responsibility, always managing to bring smiles to his friends' faces while avoiding unnecessary trouble. And so, on the island of Sodor, the tales of Duncan's escapades continued, but with a newfound respect for the lessons learned from his misadventures. The engines, including Duncan, cherished each story, knowing that they added color and laughter to their lives on the railway.

[@DevonLMS]

I absolutely loved it and for me to know the characters so well they just fit being in TTTE 10/10000 just so good keep up the amazing work my man!

[@gokumasteredultrainstinct1235]

I'm suprised to see 87546 and Alled Greedy are back on Sodor,while i see that Alled Greedy change for the better,87546's grudge on Sodor didn't change,i see that sending him and 98462 away was not good enough,it only got worst.

[@NathanielPiscian]

Well said kakarott. Although eagle/ alled/ Abraham perhaps could get a second chance at sodor or maybe it's too late

[@tstuart9148]

Yes but unlike 98462 87546 is older and a bit more wiser 98462 has not changed a bit and he was the one of the 2 that had a grudge on Sodor iam sure if given the chance 87546 is more likely to make amends as indicated from his actions with Jinty,Pug and Stepney.

[@bryantan863]

[@sarodanadian9948]

Really great but isn’t Oliver Donald and Douglas’s presence a continuity error?

[@JosephRailwayStudios2000]

This is a season four style episode

[@karenfan010]

the camera lighting makes this look kinda like a season 8 episode.

[@jeremiahsisaias8677]

I actually had an idea for an "8 famous engines" story where Thomas is not only angry with Jinty laughing at his crash, but is also upset with himself for almost upsetting Sir Topham Hatt's arrangements and thinks he had let his own friends down. I'm missing 2 dependencies for the gray ballast trucks from Vicarstown Transport. 489313:802001 and 489313:999000. I don't know what year does this video take place on if Thomas meet Mavis and Stepney before the 4 stories of each of their own books were published or before one of them arrived on Sodor. Where did you get the red branchline coaches with faces from, what is one of the softwares in the credits did you use for the blurry footage of engines moving and passing by, the lighting for the nighttime scenes, the face edits, and the crazy turning and closeup shots of the engines?

[@LittleWesternerProductions]

Will do, thank you for that critique, Rose!

[@RoseSupreme]

@@LittleWesternerProductions Thank you. There's rarely anybody out there willing to provide constructive criticism. Live Steam even made a video about how people shouldn't be shy about fans offering advice to content creators to help improve their content. I definitely have a couple of things I wish others would take notes of, such as having more diesel engine SFX variety since Brandon Polley and GWshunter do have more than just the same two-or-so sounds that everybody uses over and over again. From what I've heard of your video so far, you seem to be aware of that and used an S5 diesel engine sound effect for BoCo, which I really appreciate.

[@kennethjoseph9309]

This has git to be the greatest episode ever. Jinty being jealous over not being appreciated (it turned to jealousy) was going through some major changes and it turned out great. Stepney also did realky good of keeping Thomas's brsnchline in order and even helped stopped Jinty (dang) from having a nasty crash. Quick question, if Old Abe used to been a Sodor engine and (since he changed his name and color) wouldn't he happened to be Allied Greedy?

[@LittleWesternerProductions]

To answer your question: he is, I changed his name for the sake of one of the pieces of music.
