The following video was made with the intent that it can be viewed by and enjoyed by general audiences; people of any age.

To celebrate the 78th anniversary of The Railway Series, we're gonna go back to before it all began! Take a look at James' first day on Sodor and what life was like before Thomas. While this is a short, I didn't want to dwell too much on just remaking The Sad Story of Henry. I hope you enjoy this video. Yes, the title is ripped off of Re:Zero. Yes, Mr. Beckman is another random human OC and the name is from One Piece.

Top of the Class is still coming out, it will be episode 27. This is something to tide you over until then cause it will be a while.
