    The way the trains are animated looks really smooth that this gives off the 2000s Disney feel to this short, while being a homage to the Golden Age of Cartoons.

    As a lover of trains and animation, it's already great enough that you've made this masterpiece of a short film, but now you also release this pencil test! As a young cartoonist who's been recently enjoying watching pencil tests more often these days, I thank you! AI animation could advance as it likes, but (in the same way that Linus could never be useless) no such piece of newfangled technology could ever truly replace the craft of beautifully human-made animation. Edit: Thank you very much, Mr. Chesworth, for liking my comment.

    WAIT - I remember seeing WIPs of the trains being 3D modelled? I assumed they were rendered as such but with this does that mean they were just used as a guide and then rotoscoped with the pencil brush? Or is there a way to render it with just the outline. Either way it’s still impressive. Would love to see a breakdown video

    TBH, I've always been very sure that Samson is a cel shaded CGI character. In fact, interestingly enough, Mr. Chesworth himself already replied to a relevant comment right below yours, confirming this. (Not saying that it should've been obvious to you. Just pointing out a funny coincidence.) In fact, according to him, all locomotives and rolling stock, including Linus, have been animated using cel shaded cgi at one point or another. Not trying to be rude or anything. Just a friendly reminder.

    Yeah! Perhaps something like a tomboyish Burlington Zephyr, or maybe just a big burly Baldwin Sharknose diesel, or even both? I don't know, but I admire the amount of possibilities this may bring! In fact, I even have an idea that, if possible, could expand this railway universe: What if there was a television show based on The Brave Locomotive? This could even lead to an entire franchise being built from the ground up, and considering the rise of the indie animation industry, (which is much needed due to David Zaslav's oppression of animation, as well as Disney's own failures, and the eerie rise of AI) I wouldn't be surprised if such an idea would prove to be successful in this day and age. (If I'm correct) This is probably the perfect timing!
