When I read this story, it really hit me in the feels and I am so honoured to of provided my voice to this! Happy Pride everyone!

[@lowcamakesstuff]

We stan Jane 'round these parts

[@雪者]

What a sweet story you've made. And Happy Pride Month, too! :)

[@Solidbrickhost]

Gay repent

[@Solidbrickhost]

Pride month is stupid

[@GP30_Foamer]

This is genuinely the sweetest, most wholesome fan story I’ve listened to in ages. I genuinely shed a tear, this was beautiful!

[@ThomasSpettel]

Some engines have numbers instead of names. And some engines don't like the name that was first given to them. Glad to see that Edward is always kind and respectful.

[@JoeyMBrooklyn]

I'll be honest. I heard "Ja" and thought, "Oh, it's James!" And then, expectation subversion. I loved it.

[@karenfan010]

that’s what I thought too.

[@Arkay315]

I could totally see Edward telling Percy this story after Percy saw some old nameplates at the works that read "John"

[@karenfan010]

could we get more jane stories in the future? I kinda wanna see one where she meets james.

[@Lucat_Here]

THIS is how you do lgbtq representation in media, I’ve finally found a story that does it well. Even if I am lgbtq, I not a fan of how a lot of people do representation in most media; it usually feels forced and doesn’t mix well with the series, but this is pretty much perfect. Clear, unforced, and flows naturally with the series it’s put in, both you and the writer of the story should give themselves a pat on the back for this one.

[@Baltic115]

Yes

[@retrogamelover2012]

That's a rabbit hole I'd rather not get into, when it comes to the whole drawing the line thing. Though I will say that this comment reminded me of an idea I had on how LGBT+ stuff could fit into a Thomas story, which basically involved someone like Percy finding out one of the workers was basically part of the group, and pretty much going from there on how the story could go. On a side note, I'd imagine the Skarloey engines would've been a fitting place in regards to identity and dead names too, given the characters who work there.

[@Kashi-K]

yo, arent you the roblox TTTE au guy?

[@ryleeculla5570]

The change in gender confused me but now I know

[@matheusproductions.]

I can imagine this story being told by edward (cuz of the narrator lol)

[@Glitch_Diamond]

I cried, so proud of Jane.

[@LittleBlueTrain67]

This is one of the most wholesome stories I’ve seen in quite a while!! 🥺🏳️‍🌈

[@CoCuldee]

This was such a wonderful story omg😭👏🏽 As someone who is going through the exact same experience as Jane, I thank you & The Jolly Rancher for gifting us with such great representation.

[@matthewpowell2429]

I think it's great an engine can show their pride this way!

[@PCMan8922]

Wow, a story for the red engine, that tried to push Henry out in the books! :D

[@SaltyVan]

Ultimate Jane W

[@TheBuriedTruck]

I’m so glad you chose to do this - Jolly’s stories are criminally underrated, especially when it comes to being adapted. Bravo!

[@timthetenderengine2495]

This was nice and wholesome. I’m happy I was wrong about it being Alled greedy’s apples

[@Swissballwithoddname]

As a Trans Woman, this hit deep, loved it so much!

[@isaiahoo]

Dude, this story was so lovely. great adaption!

[@samgoold18]

What a sweet story, best wishes for Jane! Happy pride everyone 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

[@englishtwister]

Good story. I had to go back thirty seconds and relisten on the shed scene and realise that it was not James being said but Jane. And I have had tinnitus for years so picking up similar sounds can be a challenge at times.

[@warhawk1685]

As a trans person in a very simular situation to jane.. this story hit me hard and im so happy to see representation like this in the community. I genuinely teared up when i saw this and im very happy. Thank you for making this and happy pride!!

[@LNERLiam]

YES. YES. YES. YES. I LOVE THIS! Amazing video!!

[@evanclarke5561]

Wait, is John/Jane the same engine as Eagle?

[@NwrDuck]

This is beautiful! I love how it's a not so subtle trans allegory! Great story and great addaptation!

[@Arkay315]

Nice. It makes sense, if a machine is sentient it would eventually contemplate it's existence and it's name and just like some people jane didn't like the name she was given. It is a wonderful video.

[@thelazyengibot9918]

Genuinely Beautiful Story, Bravo

[@turbotemari09]

A most beautiful story. I was so moved, when she said her real name. Also, Isn't that Lugia's Song, playing on the flute at 3:28?

[@blazingswordsman5410]

Now that is how to represent transgender folks in the Thomas and friends fandom. Now we need more stories about folks with autism. I have autism myself and I would like people to be well educated about folks like me.

[@Hackbeck_Stream]

THIS WAS INCREDIBLE THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS

[@MarcusArline-rk1td]

Well said Edward 😊

[@charliesand573]

You only get one life. Do what you gotta do to live it to the fullest.

[@trevortyrrell175]

Great story, also Happy Pride Month.

[@westinbridges7321]

Can I call the red engine, John or Jane Doe? My stupidity was asking that question for some time lmao.

[@lowcamakesstuff]

Jane will do

[@DieselD7101]

Great work, bro! Happy Pride Month, bro!

[@barrymoon4069]

This was so sweet and wholesome, glad to see this underrated story get an adaptation. Great job! Happy Pride Month everyone! 🏳️‍🌈

[@alexcanine4948]

great job on this

[@TankEngineMedia]

This was a very sweet coming out story! I enjoyed it a lot Also happy pride month!

[@jamesthomas5109]

0:36 who's the red/yellow traction engine?

[@J.Tthebluepannier6375]

This story really showed how to represent lgbtq in social media, jimmy’s writing of the story was well done, even tram engine studios did a good job for being the narrator of the story. The story was really touching and does have its moments. 🙂 Anyway, great work on the video and happy pride month. 👍 🏳️‍🌈

[@Station_Master_13]

What a wonderful way to do this

[@SPG69]

Now that’s some good Trans representation right there 😊😊😊

[@Edwardfan99-bg8ew]

What a beautiful story I love the concept of the whole story and tbh I've changed my name to mine used to be Riley but I changed it to Ryan I think this is a wonderful story.

[@blazingswordsman5410]

Really? Does this mean you’re transgender?

[@Killdane]

What a great story. Like the top comment, this is a great way to have representation of LGBTQ in Thomas. Excellent job.

[@JordanFanProductions]

This is amazing man! Tbh for a second I thought this was CynicOnRails' Version lol, good job!

[@matthewspencer7948]

That’s beautiful 🥹

[@sodormanstudios]

This story is just beautiful and wholesome! Happy Pride Everyone!

[@AffectionateBear-sg9ju]

Nice story of being who you want to be 🌈

[@marky.prosonicgamer9999]

This is genius

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

Such a lovely story if i do say so my self and best of luck to Jane and her life ahead

[@rustydoggo5050]

I was not expecting a trans-gender locomotive. But I really like this story and the LGBTQ representation

[@JackIGuessIDK]

What was the name of the theme of when Edward was talking to John/Jane

[@oliverhood1732]

So that red engine is trans. Congrats.

[@jonathanpan6110]

Lil words at description bottom

[@teaoftraffic]

[@SCACALOWEY01]

3:45 i dint know John was accely female😯

[@Grenadier_]

[@mayorron8139]

Trains

[@THISFINETEA135]

Wait a second, she? I thought she was a dude

[@jamesthomas5109]

Probably since its pride month the writer and storyteller made this specifically for it?

[@jamesthomas5109]

It's my birthday today 😀 🤪 🤗 ☺️

[@ketelieappolon3617]

Happy birthday it's also my brother's birthday

[@jamesthomas5109]

@@ketelieappolon3617 happy birthday 🎂 to your brother.

[@martinpirkl4080]

Happy birthday to you 🎉😊.

[@danny4181]

A trans engine is a very interesting idea. I've seen Non binary and gay engines before but never this :)

[@jamesthomas5109]

So 'he' was a 'she' all along? Maybe she pretended to be a male engine so she wouldn't get teased? Just a thought.

[@Solidbrickhost]

Lol

[@swag-a-dellaman6555]

Is John/Jane transgender?

[@lowcamakesstuff]

It's Jane and yes she is

[@FormerlyJackLikesTrains]

Technically She’s Transfem

[@-LLAMA-]

What a sweet story. Best wishes for Jane’s future. Happy Pride Month everyone! 🏳️‍🌈
