Hello everyone! Welcome to my channel. I make a lot of Thomas Wooden Railway videos, such as reviews, and a wooden railway series, Wooden Railway Travels. I also created a wooden railway series called Thomas Wooden Tales which ran for 5 seasons from 2016-2022.

6:58 ryming convincers brave and bold they are liyers thier lies are old ^_^
5:01 the children look bizarre and terrifing
I have a soft spot for the learning segments. I was absolutely obsessed with them when I was younger, especially the dot to dot segments!
The learning segments are dumb they treat the audience like they don't know who each engine are that's how young the audience is watching this it's so stupid really why you want to make a show for an audience that young that's stupid
I think the thing I liked most about watching a hit era vhs tape with the learning segments, was actually the cgi transitions between episodes. It wasn't repetitive like the original name board transitions could get. I mean I love the og theme but in between every episode is a bit much. The actual learning segments I didn't like of course. When one showed up it was a connect the dots one first, and the second was henry carrying cargo that all started with the letter H I think because one was hats. I didn't even realized it was learning segments they were so dull. I mean obviously I'm a grown man watching Thomas the Tank Engine only in it early years it didn't talk down to children and I believe children can learn easier if you don't treat them like morons
You sound like Sheldon cooper
I just barely subscribed to the channel.
Gordon was the main character, in the RWS at least.
Cringe!!
I’ve known that for years lol
There were two reasons why the learning segments were added to Thomas; when HiT Entertainment acquired the rights to Thomas in 2002, they wanted the series to be a big hit in the US the way it was from 1989 to 1997, when it aired on PBS as part of the Shining Time Station spin-off. HiT's strategy was to bring Thomas back to PBS so he could once again be a long-running staple of that network. However, like with Shining Time Station before it, PBS wouldn't pick up Thomas unless some changes were made. PBS wanted Thomas to have more educational content to fit their standards and practices, and like before, they wanted Thomas to be a thirty-minute show rather than a five-minute one. The learning segments were added to the show for these reasons, as they were able to provide educational content and extend the show's runtime. Because PBS is not a commercial network, their shows are often padded with extra segments in between episodes that can easily be cut for commercial airtime, should their shows happen to air on commercial networks. Examples of this include the "A Word From Us Kids" segments from Arthur, the Speckle Stories from Clifford the Big Red Dog (2000), and the "Producer Says" segments from The Magic School Bus. IMO, adding the learning segments was a good decision because they helped make Thomas a long-running staple of PBS once again.
I’ll admit they’re nostalgic to look back on but besides the slightly detailed CG models for the time, these are absolutely nothing worth revisiting
The creators COULDN'T make up their mind of what whistle to give emily
How did i miss this
These leaning segments are the reason why I'm a dumbass
There may be a lot of crashes but I aint complaning Edwards the only one that dosent crash
You lost me at "Gordon and James are the exact same character."
Yeah I agree that was probably my worst take yet
Thanks to these learning segments it really gives you an idea what the engines look like without needing to say their name
What makes the hit era good in my opinion is the crashes
I mostly liked the learning segments for the cute cgi models they used sometimes, they are pretty nice and still hold up I think I agree with you, learning segments with little character studies like the Gordon one are really solid and relate to the show, versus the "Does this oval fit in this truck?" I think my top 3 Learning Segments from over the course of the series would be the difference between thomas and stanley, the thomas happy and sad game, and all of the coal dust games that covered a character in coal dust and it kinda feels like guess who, if these were playable as like a minigame collection they'd be way better

Really a miss opportunity for HIT to use these learning segments for actual railroad safety procedures and knowledge, so it can be ACTUALLY educational and easily digestible for children. A bit like how the classic era is but this time in delves into more of the technical and/or operational side while still being fun. But nooooo, we have to get "nooooo the castle doesn't go on the wooden shed :(((((("
Nooooo tummis is blue not red :(
Tbh, in the Nitrogen era, they did do exactly that by showing live action segments of real british railways and engines, which was actually kind of neat considering the state of the CGI series back then.

James isn't quite the same as Gordon. He makes lots of jokes and is generally a hypocrite. Gordon is just pompous and proud.
_I saw you pulling trucks today. You're only a goods engine._
And Gordon also has more character development than James does, both in the books and the show
Aswell as the fact that gordon actually has things to brag about while james just thinks he's a good as gordon for no reason
*_Bro those models in the thumbnail gave me memories that seem fake but real at the same time. What have you done to me._*
A crime
Looking back: The 3D animated learning segments look really ugly.
I disagree I think they were very nice and stylized takes on the characters
I have always liked the look of the 3d learning segments!
Not all dvds are like that
You know I’m just glad that those segments weren’t introduced in Season 6 or 7, cause honestly I don’t think I can take Baldwin narrating the dot to dot or whatever these pointless segments have.
How exactly are the Fun Times with Engines segments even "learning segments"? They're clip shows.
Some of these learning segments still somewhat give me a warm fuzzy feeling while completely stupid I do like some still
The learning segments are an absolute snooze fest, but they did at the very least give us the absolute masterpiece known as “Toby is surprised to see”, so it was all worthwhile in the end
Only two episodes remaining for Season 1! Both of those episodes will release on the same day.

This nneeds more Super Why! Poops.
8 years ago today!!
That was pretty hectic tbh
For me the worst episode is middle engine because arry and Bert doesn’t get punished when they got Percy into trouble and sir topham hatt falsely accuses Percy for going on to the loading ramp when it wasn’t his fault.
FYI this video was filmed months ago lol
The red engine from here isn’t James and neither is the one in The Sad Story of Henry; both are completely separate random engines who we don’t know the names of or what happened to them
1996 face is to small
The 60fps footage goes crazy
Lovely review!! The new camera looks great too!
I forgor💀 to watch this
After 7 years, I think I have finally retired Steamies vs. Diesels stories on this channel lol
Its been a great year for your channel man! Goodluck in the new year man
