It's truly gratifying when a piece of fan fiction you wrote seventeen years ago is still resonant with an audience. These stories have been adapted as narratives, a fully cast audiobook and now a visual adaptation. It's a fantastic effort and great to see the first of these in Trainz. Your direction is outstanding and I absolutely love the design for Shane the Tractor. Looking forward to seeing more!

I have just had a thought - If Butch the Tow Truck was on the other side of the crossing, Maybe Shane's Driver would have told him that Shane has got a problem with his engine and cannot move at all. Then there would be plenty of time to tow him off the crossing before Boco blasted his horn to warn people that he was approaching - Simple! But no, The Driver was not smart enough to call for help.

Hey, maybe if Boco honked his horn loudly enough at him. He could've probably moved Shane by making him tip over on his back. 😂

Loved how BoCo was given his customized wincing face just as he is about to hit Shane, and I sure bet that his sad face was referenced from Daisy's.

That crash scene was actually pretty intense. Nice job man. Love that Shane has an Irish accent, being of Irish blood was real satisfying to hear in a Thomas video.

that music at 0:52 is truly beautiful. it sounds really beautiful and regal

Shane looks like a bob the builder character Nice work btw

5:15 This looks like something out of “Roary The Racing Car”

On behalf of the ERS authors we hope you enjoyed the ERS's return to KZread. I hope you'll all agree that Aiden has done a fantastic job here. It wouldn't have happened without all his hard work and we hope there will be many more adaptations in the future. In the meantime, why not head over to the Sodor Island Forums where there's over 300 volumes available to read.

Well Shane, you're one to talk, you were built sometime in the 1940s as a Fordson tractor. Shane seems to resemble a Fordson E27N tractor with that shape and colour scheme

You know this is fan made because BoCo is in it

God I just love Edward's voice in this video it is so wonderful. whenever I read the books I now imagine this voice for Edward.

I'd say karma hit Shane a whole lot harder than BoCo did.

The Tractor said Edward belongs in a museum, that's what one of the Horrid Lorries said to Toby.

I think BoCo taught that Shane a lesson, and it would serve him right for causing trouble and being rude to all the engines.

well it seems that if Shane thinks he is "Surrounded by the old fashioned" he looks to be quite old fashioned himself! you wouldn't see tractors like him these days or at least not very often

So interesting to see a sad face and an OOOEEEERRR face for Boco! And Ryan's performance was on point as always. Lovely nostalgia rush hearing this, takes me back to early SiF redub and audio days.

That voice fits that tractor perfectly

This brings a powerful lesson on level crossings to always look both ways, have patience and never queue on level crossings if in doubt.

Can I just talk about the shots? The camera work was fantastic and the amount of color and saturation felt just right - I genuinely felt comforted. Also, the editing, especially with the crash, is the real 'chef's kiss' in this. Kudos for your excellent work, Aiden!

Remember listening to the original story back in 2008. So nice to see a Trainz adaptation of it after so long!

what a treat this is - put me in mind of Chris Signore's audio adaptation/s from yonks back watching this. can't wait to see more!!!

4:25 The look on Shane's face reminds me of Bulstrode's face in Special Attraction

Yeah. It's so funny.

Boco is a diesel version of Edward

I liked when Shane looked dead at the camera like he knew he messed up

Any BoCo content is great.

Shane sounds like an ERS version of the Horrid Lorries, but I see his comeuppance was quite different. Glad to see it was an engine who gave him what for!

EXCELLENT! A great adaptation of this story and easily one of my favorites. I really like whoever modeled Shane and your directing gives this a very Railway Series aesthetic with TVS assets.

I don't read, let alone listen to adaptations of 'Extended Railway Series' stories, but when I do, I am quite impressed. It's not exception with this adaptation.

That tractor was nothing but a big bully and he finally got what he deserved in the end.

Saying "nice story" really can't cover how good this is. I really need to read the Extended Railway Series more. Also, I noticed Great Mouse Detective music was used at the end. :D

Wow! This is truely stunning and the fact that eyes can now move freely really makes it better, although the close up shots of Boco's face would have given me nightmares as a kid. 10/10 would buy it on DVD

Boco could see the tractor “stop boco!” Cried Thomas Bocos driver applied the brakes but it was too late!

Boco has an interesting tractor fetish But seriously, love the story, and the crash was very satisfying. It’s so much better than seeing Boco conveniently stop just in time (something both the TVS and fan productions do too much). This vid is one of your best

I can only imagine how Shane would act towards Terence

Shane is a main antagontist

Well done, you did a splendid job. You could have James work on Edward's branch line and have Shane repaired where he had changed his attitude into a kind optimistic tractor where he'll receive another chance where he works hard and still stay on Sodor where he'll apologize that he was rude and insulting. I want to see more of Shane the Tractor.
