Title: Thomas Fan Model Series
Post by: TerencetheTractor525 on December 06, 2019, 11:49:26 AM
I thought that it would be nice to start a thread in which we can share our fan-made model series:

My series, titled "The Sodor Series", is based on the classic television series by Britt Allcroft and David Mitton that utilized models. I see it as a continuation from Season 7, as most avid fans agree that was the last season of the model era that was very enjoyable, as it did not fall on plots that were considerably basic. The Sodor Series has only seven episodes completed at the moment, many more are getting planned for the future. I want to sincerely thank Bachmann for producing such accurate Thomas models, as my series would have not been possible if it weren't for them :). Hope to see other fan-made series utilizing the Bachmann Thomas line in this thread as well!

Got a fan-made Thomas series of shorts in the works too called "The Many Adventures of Thomas & Friends'. Still in early stages of development, but here's the link to the announcement trailer below.

Thomas hasn't been the same after season 4. I watched season 5 back in the day when it came out. It was okay but it seemed it lost something.

Unfortunately I don't have a layout for my Thomas friends but I did create stories with my ERTL models in the 90s.

All I remember that one of Sir Topham Hatt's men beside him was named guy.

Yesterday, two new fan-made episodes were uploaded to YouTube that utilize the Bachmann Thomas models, and I have received permission to share the links on here.

Would highly recommend taking the time to watch them, as the level of artistry is marvelous, and they both present the same realistic charm of the classic model series that we all cherish.

I'm hoping to make a series soon when I finish my layout of Sodor in a few years, I even have a script in the works for one of the first episodes.

Here is the first Episode of my new series. (Still unamed at this point) Speedkiller written by Christopher Awdry and adapted to a TV series style format by me with a couple of little tweeks to the story. Its not perfect but I do hope you enjoy. Side note Rusty is a pain to film at slow speeds hence the string

Excellent job, Mulfred100! Felt like a lost episode from Season 4, given its length (4 minutes and 30 seconds long) and beautiful, realistic visuals amalgamated with heavenly background music.

I also uploaded a new video today on all the failed attempts there were for one shot of TSS Episode 9: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LipnxmVPtQ&ab_channel=TerencetheTractor525.

Hello all. Here is a special sneak preview of the second episode in my little engines and friends series titled, George and the Trouble With Coal.
George returns to work on the Skarloey Railway and causes chaos
This episode also features a nice little debut of my Crovens And Gate set or rather the narrow guage side of the station away. Sorry my narration isn't the best.
