Thank you for taking the time to revisit that story with Brenner. I enjoyed working on it. Andrew Brenner’s impact on the franchise was a huge inspiration for it. While working on Thomas, Andrew Brenner also worked on another animated show called Pablo. It’s what inspired the interaction with Luis and his son. Even though the Thomas CGI show (like the mid Sodor railway) didn’t last forever, both Brenners still had a lot to share with the world.

Absolutely Matt! Again people can say what they want about turtles but you both did a great job with the Mid Sodor storys as they're my favorites from the series. Glad that you enjoyed.

I'm glad you enjoyed Andreas' story. That is a good point you made at the end, about how there's a LOT of Mid-Sodor characters. I've actually been taking a look at that recently, and realised that they can be separated by time as well as space. "Engines came and engines went" and all that. We may see more of them in my future videos. In fact, I'm literally working on a model of one of the MSR characters while I'm watching this video.

@seangannon19194 ай бұрын
In my experience, I think Brenner looks similar to Jennings, though I guess you might be forgiven for thinking otherwise, since Jennings was also painted light blue. As for Andreas, I strongly agree with your opinion of him being the winning OC character, who, by the way, isn't really an OC at all. The real Andreas actually worked on the MSR before being turned into a boiler for a steamboat.

Interesting review on the mid Sodor railway engines ! I think that Roy is gullible and Smudger would be him in my variant and the engine Brenner that thinks me about Andrew Brenner and I forgot something about Freddie the reason why Freddie got his name changed from Freddie to fearless Freddie
@WFEP5 ай бұрын
Hey Useful, I really liked the video. It was really cool seeing you talk about all of these fan characters. :D I noticed that you were confused about who made Crimson, I can tell you that he was created by T1E2H3, not Sodor Workshops. Workshops never had a model like that in any incarnation of the site's existence. The base model that T1E2H3 used was an engine named Fardell from the now-defunct website 24ng Trainz, editing the Oliver faces on top of the smokebox door. The one in the remake you showcased at 6:22 - 6:34 is a facemeshed version of the original Fardell model, you can see the smokebox door's dart sticking out.

There is something I wonder how does Peter Sam or Sir Handel didn’t know who Stanley was. He was in the sheds behind duke in bulldog.
@UsefulEngine117 ай бұрын
That's because that's an illustration error. In the official timeline bulldog happens in 1904. And Stanley wasn't built until 1917 and didn't come to the Mid Sodor until 1920. And then Stanley got turned into a pumping engine in 1928. Even though Duke the Lost Engine is one of the best in The Railway series I will admit it does have its continuity issues.
