I do hope stories of sodor would go back to it's early seasons roots, I feel like Victor Tanzing was trying too hard with newer seasons, and season 5 was just the last straw for me, so I hope he does turn back into simple but exciting and appealing stories like season 1 and 2 again

Oops sorry voice input

To learn that this wasnt written by Victor intrigues me. I think you did a terrific job writing in his style. The vocabulary, the comedy, the writing styles and choices, touching on the rws stories. It's all really good. I also really like how you used the musical parts as montages of like movement instead of getting rid of dialogue. idk if that's explained really well at all, but I think that victor style choice was done much better here than he has in the past. Idk, the writing was relaly believable sooo, well done!

An April fools joke and an episode to hold us over? Victor Tanzig you're awesome

This actually being real / canon would be the a complete reverse psychology April Fools joke!

Ok. I just saw Victor's post, and holy shit! You recreated his style so damn well! I was actually legitimately confused on who made this. Bravo mate bravo!

Well! One other thing I can say about this episode is that we FINALLY get a Super Rescue homage!! All right! A lot of us have been waiting for that one! Well done! Albeit, it was only a few certain scenes from that episode, but at least there were even homages to Train Stops Play and Bowled Out. Another one for the latter since there was one in "Aviation".

Oh my God! This is just insane! I thought this was an actual Episode! Victor you troll!

Dang it, I’m genuinely frustrated this was an April Fools joke because that was actually pretty good. Curse you Victor and your superb April Fools pranks!!!

Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa. I Love Stepney's whistle in this episode.

LOVE the Feltface reference at the end!

Even when its an April Fools video, Victor still makes a pretty decent story. Amazing work as always VIctor.

In all honesty this makes me more excited for season 6. Even if this is not the real first episode

Glad to see Victor is making season 7 better.

When this is an April Fools I'm going to cry

I know this isn't real, but this is honestly a really well written episode that I can completely see working within the actual series. It gave me back a season 2 and 3 vibe that I felt was missing in latter eps. Different time period but same SOS energy as the first couple of seasons. A lot of good banter and honestly this could be a good adaptation for the first episode of season 6, or my own personal head canon lol.

Goddamnit, I got rick rolled

This could actually be a right episode. Its really good even if its not real. Great job

Ай бұрын

I'm sure he will return. If Victor really wanted to kill Thomas he would've been blown to pieces like Colin, Lily, Benson and Mickey because having him survive the explosion only to die offscreen later is weird unless he's in a green water induced coma like Barry was. Afterall, Derek told Donald that Thomas was filled to the brim with green water just before he "died". He was also sent to Barry Island Scrapyard which is famous for accidentally preserving steam engines and he wasn't even broken up before being sent for scrap. Not only that, but Edward didn't confirm that Thomas was melted down like he did with Adam and Randolf. Victor has also stated in a community post that he does have plans for Thomas but they won't happen for a couple of years.
