You know, nothing’s more bonkers than waiting on a Signal being on the blink.

The fact his driver and firemen just let him sit there, just shows how they're not good at their job. They let the engines make their own decisions and don't advise them to do what should be.

Nevermind the fact that James was "waiting" on a Distant Signal...

This video is superb. Seeing James misinterpret a broken signal as set at danger and getting into trouble (which is very *James* of him) is so funny and satisfying to watch! A fun follow up to Percy and The Signal. Every shot here is cleverly thought out and then there's also then attention to little details. The coal hopper loading the truck (complete with coal dust) and James' crew and the guard walking away during the time passage sequence are two that come to mind. I don't get how you're still underrated man. This is high quality stuff!

I honestly thought the twist would be that James was waiting at a distant signal

Oh how lovely you used the unused Fat Controller Theme!

Nice to see a continuation of Percy and the Signal

I knew there was a reason I loved Percy so much. He's such a savage!

Great episode. Very funny too. I like how you had Henry's "Fishy" theme rearranged for James. The ending theme also sounds like a near-indentical reproduction of the original.

Poor James. Always the punching bag in these instances. XD Nicely written!

To be fair; that broken signal should've had a sign put on it to indicate to engines that it was broken.

Well still when it came to the signal I think James DID do the right thing. He couldn't have known it was broken. He was right to stop he could've been in an accident otherwise. It was the maintenance people's fault for not informing sir Topham Hatt before James took that train

Whilst this is a good story, I am bothered by the fact the signal at the station and the one James stops at are actually Distant and not Starter/Home signals (which are red). It's the red ones that the engines have to obey. The yellow signals are there to warn for caution.

@megatronacepticon

I was actually expecting the resolution to be that it was a distant signal and it was simply telling James that he would have to stop at the next station, meaning that he had stopped and waited for hours when he didn't have to. Oh well, good story otherwise and an easy mistake to make since the main show also ignores that there's a difference between distant signals and regular signals.

Percy and the signal was a season 2 episode so buddy I'm afraid you're wrong, as for the date I'm not sure, but still I think you got a bit confused in-between this fanmade special and the actual season 2 episode.

I love the way you weaved James’ theme with Percy’s theme at the beginning

*What Percy would have said too* Percy: “He has red paint, so he stopped.” He joked, then bursts out laughing.

This is lost season 2 episode after take place event of "Percy and the Signal".

The different arrangements of James' theme tune were great. I liked the narrator too.

I say, the scores on this episode is fantastic!!! And the voice acting is aslo amazing!!! I just LOVE your stuff!!!!!

Bruh the signal is yellow, that means proceed with caution. Not stop. I though that’s how the story would’ve ended, with Sir Topham Hatt telling James about what yellow signals mean instead of saying the signal was broken.

This might just be the only good Percy story made in Trainz. Percy and the Beast (not the SF version) did him super nasty. He fell for a prank, and ended up shunting in the yards. Oliver got not repercussions for his actions. Percy and the signal did the same thing, and James got no repercussions in that story either, this is the perfect sequel!

Now that is funny

Nice!

The distant signal has no yellow light though. I'm no expert on semaphores but I do know that in Trainz you can't get them to work 100% accurate like left branch and right branch signals. So it's likely just poetic license.

This is a distance signal. Not a home, which means James can pass that signal when its 'at danger' because its a warning for the next signal up ahead. I wish people stop making this mistake

A few questions. When Percy interjected, why didn't the Fat Controller admonish him too? James was about to explain what had happened. Furthermore, why's Duck here? Wouldn't this episode have taken place between Percy and the Signal and Duck Takes Charge?

@ryansock8269

As for Percy cutting in, The Fat Controller is cross with James, and Percy tells him that James was the cause of the "backing signal" thing in Percy and the Signal, so The Fat Controllers listens to Percy because of that. As for Duck being there, Duck Takes Charge is the episode directly after Percy and the Signal, so I thought it made sense to include him at Knapford

This story makes no sense. Why would James' crew wait at a distant signal in the first place? Second, even if we're going to treat the signal like a home signal, why wouldn't James' crew walk to the signal box to notify the signalman, or pull the train cautiously? Then, why in the world would James' crew just up and leave him? Wouldn't they take him back to the closest depot at least for his wash out? It's not like Percy and the Dragon where Percy's crew had to leave because Percy was stuck.
