TTOS Insightful Examination Short #1
updated
Big thanks to @ChaoticCaroline24 for lending the set table, a hefty amount of track, and just about all of the engines/rolling stock used in this video! Just wanted to throw something silly together, since I haven't filmed on a physical set table in... over 5 years now, I think!
Set to sped up footage of a new route build, I cover the new name of the channel, moving across the country, exclusive access to behind the scenes content, and the new titles for Tedious Tales of Sodor Season 1b!

Percy is a tank engine with uncannily intense strength... and Henry is curious just how strong they really are.
PRODUCER'S NOTE
Lot's of people ask WHY Percy is so strong, but never just HOW STRONG ARE THEY. This short intends to make people ponder that question a bit stronger.

Thomas considers his actions that lead to Percy's accident at the harbor. Edward consoles him.
PRODUCER'S NOTE
A really impactful short written by LumityTrioE2. One that I really enjoyed adapting to screen. Character exploration is something I like to imagine TTOS is really good at, and I hope this short demonstrates that.

Annie and Clarabel confide in Thomas about the scare of a mass murderer roaming the Ffarquhar Branchline! It's up to Thomas to weed out who started the rumour...
PRODUCER'S NOTE
In TTOS, the focus of the series is always going to be the engines. However, we've still established a cast of trucks that is just as large, if not BIGGER than the main cast. This short intends to shed the light on how some of them act.
James encounters an obstacle in his path.
PRODUCER'S NOTE
This script was written by steakandcake! There's lots of in-jokes in this one, see if you can figure out what they all are :)
With Thomas off the Ffarquhar Branchline, and the line under inspection, Sir Topham Hatt needs an engine to head the operation. He settles on James... an option he learns is less than favourable.
PRODUCER'S NOTE
We... really didn't like how the original draft of this episode was pretty much just "Bully James: The Episode" When rewriting it, we wanted to change how the characters reacted to James. Hopefully, it comes across a little nicer here.

Thomas encounters a voice in the sky.
PRODUCER'S NOTE
This one is... DEFINITELY the biggest change of all the remasters, involving a whole new plot development and a new character that hasn't been seen in the series at all yet!

Just off the West coast of England, there is a small island, no more than 70 miles across. Covering this island is a sprawling railway network, known as the North Western Railway. The engines that run it are a colorful bunch, with stories to tell, and tempers to test.
This story, however, is to set our stage, and introduce our cast. Let's take a look, shall we?
PRODUCER'S NOTES
5 years ago, we announced a series called Tedious Tales of Sodor. From then until now, we've learned a lot about how to make videos, so much so that some of the older content feels... outdated. So, over the past few months, we've taken it upon ourselves to remaster a collection of these episodes and to shed a little more light on the story we're trying to tell.
With a brand new custom score for the chase sequence, and a wider cast of characters, we hope you enjoy.
Thank you.

Gordon is fed up with Thomas' teasing, and ponders how he can get back at him.
PRODUCER'S NOTE
This short was written lightly by LumityTrioE2, and heavily improvised by Trampy! A fun one, to be sure!
Run fast. Brake hard. Be kind.
PRODUCER'S NOTE
It was an absolute treat, and honestly, a surprise from LumityTrioE2 to get thomasfan101 on for this. For reference, "thomasfan101" is the original creator behind the injoke that caused the VERY CREATION of "The Brakevan."
Paired with an amazing script and backed by a great soundtrack he picked, is the origin story of The Brakevan.

Just off the West coast of England, there is a small island, no more than 70 miles across. Covering this island is a sprawling railway network, known as the North Western Railway. The engines that run it are a colorful bunch, with stories to tell, and tempers to test. Some of these stories have been told before, but they weren't entirely accurate.
So, let's revisit the island, and rediscover the Tedious Tales of Sodor.
PRODUCER'S NOTE
Here it is. Season 1A Definitive Edition: Deluxe. A monumental task that had everyone on the team pouring hours or time into it daily. Me and LumityTrioE2 spent weeks talking, writing, editing, and directing things for this project. ATropicalMango and October were hard at work producing custom assets for the compilation, among the many hectic things that were going on in their lives. We even have a few new cast members to introduce to you all!
With all of that said... We hope you enjoy what has been the biggest project we've worked on yet, even beating Percy's First Christmas by a whole additional 40 minutes! Please, take the time to watch it in full, since we've done something to almost everything. Whether it be reworking the SFX and music, or completely remastering the story from the ground up. It'd mean a lot to us.
Thank you all so much for watching. And as always, take care, and have a nice life!

When Thomas realizes Percy's never experienced the joys of a Christmas party, he decides he'll throw the best party the engines have ever had!
PRODUCER'S NOTE
And that's it! The REAL end of Season 1a of Tedious Tales of Sodor! Thank you all SO MUCH for watching. This has genuinely been an honor and I'm so glad everyone is as interested in this series as I am making it
EDIT; 12/19/2023
NEVER HAVE I HAD A VIDEO BE DELETED FROM MY SITE ONLY TO COME BACK. Not only is this video so incredibly packed with amazingly talented people, but it's A ZOMBIE VIDEO AT THAT!
Aka, Thomas and the Trucks

A new train station has appeared on the Island of Sodor, much to the confusion of The Narrator. Join them as they uncover the unusual properties of Balladrine- and it's accompanying locals
PRODUCER'S NOTE
Happy Halloween everyone! I recently caught up with all 250+ episodes of Welcome to Night Vale, and I thought if might be fun to make my own parody of it, as a fun little Halloween special! It's certainly no Herman, but it's still got quite an insightful look into the more... existential concepts in TTOS. ;)
The engines of Sodor finally reconnect, after an extended period of separation from one another. Conflict quickly brews...
PRODUCER'S NOTE
Here it is! The Season 1a Finale!
I want to give a fucking MASSIVE shout out to @LumityTrioE2 for editing the SFX on this episode, and @atropicalmango1446 for assembling and editing the soundtrack! Without their effort, this episode would not have been completed NEARLY as soon as it has been.

Good morning, good afternoon and/or goodnight ladies, gentlemen, and nonbinary folk. After much toiling and troubling... Episode 6 is FINALLY here.
I hope you all enjoy it.

A line of trucks headed it's way
Not engine, nor passenger, survived that day."

Originally I planned on dropping this series all at once, but I decided eh screw it I'll upload the episodes as I make them. This one has been sitting in my files for quite a while so I finally finished it up and released it!
The end is a bit.. shit.. considering a lot of it was hard to actually edit down (crucial bits and what not, yet I just didn't commentate) but I think it's still decent, especially if you're interested in the game!
