I revisted the Thomas series a while back and while watching all the seasons, I quickly realized that James was indeed my favorite. I really don't know what it is about James but he sort of stands out against the others in a way that makes me laugh at his personality. He's.....arrogant but not to the point where he's completely irredeemable. But he always wants to get the work done to the best and fullest plus he actually likes to have fun and laugh. He's just...FUN. :)
It may be an unpopular opinion, but James is one of the most consistent characters on the Steam Team, even during the CGI series. His vain attitude mixed with his willingness to understand where he screwed up is what makes him stand out in my view.

One thing I've been thinking about. Alec Baldwin tried to give most characters a distinct voice in seasons 5 and 6. I've always wondered why Alec Baldwin gave James more of a flamboyant and elegant voice. That's not a bad thing, in fact it's probably my favorite voice for James, just kind of an oddity.

James has always been a favourite for me too. Always loved his energetic and showboat-y personality with a small soft side deep within. His theme is also my favourite out of the character themes for sure. Glad to know his original model's safe and sound!
You forgot to mention how while filming Thomas and the Magic Railroad, James fell off the set. This happened during the smelter's scene. Where diesel 10 threatens him and junior.

Wonderful man. Talking about James, I would love to hear your's and other's most favourite James voice. If you notice James has a very high pitched voice but not to a level of childishness. So, basically like a teen. I would say my personal one was Michael Angelis in the classic series (s1 to7) I just loved his energetic yet a little fed up voice, and he also had a sort of style that no other could replicate for James. And we all know that in the us dub of s5 and 6, James is definitely hiding something, don't we.

I remember always wanting a toy James solely because he was red. I always hated how rude he was when I was a little kid, but the more I relearn about TTTE the more he starts to grow on me lol 😂.
That picture o the james hornby model made me think about my currently motorless (the motor failed after awhile) Percy model :(
I like how all of these episodes are the same just with different characters and we still watch lol
Words cannot describe how much I love this
I love the amount of care you put into making these videos and from me and all of the other original Thomas an Friends lovers we say thank you! 👍
For anyone wanting to know about James' model in the 1953 BBC adaption He like Henry and Edward was a repainted Hornby Dublo of Atholl model. No footage or photos of these models are known to exist but can be assumed to have a similar livery to P.R. Wickham's O gauge models (who also painted the models for the 1953 pilot)
everyone else: normal theme james: ***ya like jazz?***

I think everyone can agree that James is the most fan favorite character (don’t know why it’s duck) because James is the most recognizable, especially since he’s red, a mogul, and almost everyone can relate to him
James has to be one of the characters I love and hate because he boasts a lot, but his design is amazing!

True, but he is just a Mogul modification of the LY&R Class 28 0-6-0 which was used MAINLY as a goods locomotive as 0-6-0 tender locomotives were common freight locomotives at the time and still are even when used on passenger duties.
James is my second favorite character of the show. I loved him ever since I was a kid. But he is and always will be my favorite regular size tender engine and red engine on Sodor.

Just come across this channel, and I have to say I really enjoy it. I stopped watching the show in about season 8 after bullying at school, so I've not yet seen any of the CGI stories, or Busy Bee James as shown in this episode. I love the historical aspects of the show, and all the models. This show is defo the main reason I'm into railways (real and models) as much as I am, although my Hornby Thomas desperately needs a new drive gear.

You should do a tier list video ranking all the Thomas specials
Another thing about James: I wonder why there are so many scrap shells of certain characters used as set dressing vs. others. The only characters I remember seeing are Thomas, Gordon, and Donald/ Douglas. Those characters all did a lot of "stunts" early on, so it makes sense. But then you have characters like James and Henry who were also had a lot of screen time and stunts; but you never see them as set dressing.

My favourite character of the ST as well :) The only thing I don't like about him is the fact that in the CGI series, they decided to make him taller, which is incredibly distracting when he is beside engines like Edward. I liked it when the two o them where the same size, and that made the contrast between them stronger. Now James towers over everyone and it doesn't look right
