It's hard to believe we're really at the end! Been following this series for so long! I do hope you do one last comparison with "The Adventure Begins" movie since it was a retelling of the first two books, but if this is the last video, I'll be happy with it!

Bulstrode also returned to the new reboot show around the same year it started, after 26 years of his absence in the T&F franchise. And his personality was changed from grumpy and disagreeable to a kind barge.

On one hand I'm kind of sad to see this series end but on the other hand judging by the end of the video it shows that you'll be taking a look at the one-off annual stories. But in the meantime I begged the series a good day.

And… that’s it. That’s all the books. Except maybe the spin-off books like Christmas Party and Missing Christmas Tree. Great series Jeffrey Edit: Yup, thought so

We’ve still got the 2 Christmas books adaptations, and also not forgetting The Adventure Begins! Regardless, I am very surprised this final main Railway Series comparison ended on a high note! Thank you The Finest Cocoa, you really showed your stuff!

Thank you so much for this series! I've been watching for years! As for this adaptation, what a strange one it was. Weird how Percy basically got away with trying to drown a sentient boat (unintentionally, yes, but it would seem he should have at least been given a stern talking-to). I wonder if maybe they never adapted the Mavis story because they thought it was too frightening and perhaps they thought Toby derailing was too similar to Thomas Gets Bumped and Time for Trouble.

Well done on wrapping up to all the main books of The Railway Series, compared with the TV series. I remember reading the book with my grandparents on my dad's side...but forgot how different it was, having never had the book myself. And real shame to see that, alongside The Small Railway Engines, being one of the last books to be adapted, before Mattel has replaced Thomas & Friends with All Engines Go now. And I thought "Special Attraction" was pretty nice.

Wow, I didn’t even realize this was the end, well I’ll always miss this series, I can always go back and rewatch it but it’s sad there will be no new installments, but it was a great series nonetheless

If Special Attraction was extended, Henry should have had 1020’s role because he’s always ill, He should have been takin some passengers to the Special Attraction and would be short of steam, and Toby would help him to the seaside station where the passengers praise them for their actions, And there should have been a night scene of The Fat Controller congratulating Toby for helping Henry to the Seaside Station on time. And Toby would fall asleep and wake up to go to the Special Attraction.

Welp… I guess that’s the end… thanks for making these videos! I learned so many things I didn’t know and I can’t wait to see what your future videos will be about!

Nice that you have wrapped up this series. You Should do a “ the three railways and Thomas the tank engine vs the adventure begins” episode as a finale.

Nooooooo! The last one. So sad 😖

Well done you've given a good outlook on the books and the TV series well done mate can't wait for the Christmas stories

Parting such a sweet sorrow! But you did all these “spot the differences” very well!!

It’s been a wonderful journey, it’s always great to be part of the Finest Cocoa community. You’ve created a great community and make some wonderful videos

No matter if you read the railway series so many times it's till special and still amazing

What’s gonna happen to this channel once all the books are covered?

That final line was very enjoyable, if a little sad. I will continue to watch your thomas spot the difference vids for years to come :3

Not yet you still have 2 Christmas railway series stories too go

Man we really got to the end.

I think the reason The stationmaster walked away shaking his head was because he heard that the festival don’t want Toby as their festival Attraction.

I’m glad you pointed out the big differences between the episode and the adaptation. Jeffery a big congrats to the 4 years you contributed to making these vids it’s been an enjoyable experience overall and I look forward to your future vids

Other differences you didn't discuss: 1. Bulstrode in his namesake RWS story has two hulls. In the adaptation ("Special Attraction"), he's got just one. 2. Four freight cars loaded with what was falsely described as stone in the Railway Series fell into Bulstrode. In the adaptation, there were five correctly described as carrying stone instead of slate. 3. In the adaptation, the cars face Percy before turning their faces away but in the book they were facing away from Percy all the time. They probably detected Percy's presence by puffing sounds.

You did really well to do every single book adapted for the television series finest Coco I respect you

There will never be anymore adaptations of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends. The only thing we can do is cherish the ones we have while also watch fan content of those who remember and respect the shows of their childhood.

@ciarangleeson2880

Mattel should try hiring older Thomas fans to work for them. At least then they might start making some actual progress.

I read online that the reason Thomas was not in this book was that it was set parallel the following book Thomas and the twins, where Thomas is sent to work on Edward's branch line due to the bridge over the river on Thomas's needing repairs and Thomas exceeded the weight limit Sir Topham Hatt set on it during its repairs

it's kind of sad were at end game

Don't be sad it's over, be glad it happened.

Awesome. Love watching your series

Hard to believe that this is the end.

Thomas & Friends has to have original stories in it and not just adaptions all the time.

Toby's burnt looking window was a goof for the episode. Though if it was meant for the story and episode, it would make sense for Toby to be unwanted in the parade.

Can’t believe we reached the end Love your series thought

Brilliant way to end matey! ;) 👍

Well that's the last episode thank you for this we well continue to make Thomas grow better

7:58 Ah, so that's why you didn't mention that phrase in the previous video! I also like how you've hinted about comparing the two standalone Christmas books in future.

Maybe Percy’s brakes could have been acting faulty, and probably could have been foreshadowed once or twice, and then they could have stopped working while he was pushing the trucks. Does that work for an explanation?

Great series!

Good bye Mr finest coco.

It’s too bad they did not turned the rest of them into episodes! 😢

You know, I heard on the Thomas wiki that this book took place at the same time as the next one, Thomas And The Twins, where Thomas went to work on Edward’s branch line, and that’s why he was absent from Toby, Trucks, And Trouble.

You still 2 more to go

All good things must come to an end, but it nice while it lasted, hiatuses and reuploading certain episodes on to this channel notwithstanding.

With this series done, what books do you think deserve to be adapted in the revival era? I know I would pick Mountain Engines and Very Old Engines. As for Christopher’s books, let’s discuss it here.
