*CRAWLS OUT OF A HOLE, GASPING FOR AIR* I FORGOT- I FUCKING FORGOT TO POST THE THING, I'M SORRY
Okay, so, I've been working on a new TVS Vicarstown route. It's more of a diorama set? Only good from the tracks, essentially. Anything beyond, and it starts to fall apart
The original pitch for the route was for it to be a mirrored version of Knapford, and to rely more on sharp ...

Project Carousel is a story inspired by the album "Carousel" by Vylet Pony, which follows James processing his traumatic life before Sodor through supernatural means.
The project itself is estimated to be an hour (give or take) in length, with a full voice cast, and a score made up entirely of the music created by Vylet Pony!
There's a LOT going into this, and I've written a few drafts of the project myself... That said, ...

Come one, come all, to the start of something new, to the start of something arcane, to the start of something wonderful!
In a fascinating twist of fate, your friend Andria has decided to work on something new, something different. Not at all a means to abandon her prior work, no no... But as a means to reduce stagnation, a method to keep the creek flowing, as it were.
Over the coming weeks, you can expect production logs of both Tedious Tales of Sodor Episode 8, as well as our ne...

Last production log of January, and I kiiinda forgot to post it on Friday, so it's technically the first production log of February, but... Eh, whatever.
That said, since it's the end of the month, that means I'll be covering EVERYTHING that's been worked on that we have yet to mention.
First, let's talk about the progress on the remaining routes, Ballahoo and Ballaswein Tramway.
The West side of the town was what was closest to completion, so I figured I'd just power throu...

Today, I've got some progress on the Ballahoo and Ballaswein Tramway routes for Episode 8.
Ballahoo started off with a very rough trackplan, which is echoed on the final route, but definitely changed a lot.
For some reason when I first started making Ballahoo, I thought it was directly on the mainline, and made the station three tracks wide- even though that isn't exactly accurate.
When writing Episode 8, we realized we wanted to do something special with the human characters. We've been running with the same Topham figure since 2019, and the same human figures for nearly as long. So, I planned on commissioning October for new SI3D styled figures to use for the rest of the series
Very abruptly, October began making some of the figures as a test... and honestly, the few they've made looks amazing!

A big plot point in Episode 8 is that The Fat Controller visits every place on the island starting with "Balla"
This gives us 5 sets that we have to make
Ballahoo (A goods yard, not yet started)
Ballamoddey (A Mid Sodor Railway station)
Balladrine (The haunted station from the 2023 Halloween Special)
Balladwail (A seaside town, not connected ...

Episode 8 has been one hell of a doozy when it comes to writing. The script was started as far back as November 2021, and has undergone six different names during its production, those names being;
WHAT A QUAINT ENGINE
THE QUARRY LINE
SEARCH FOR THE TRAM
LOST TO TIME
COPS AND COWCATCHERS
And, lastly, the one we're sticking with (hopefully),
TRAMWAY TROUBLES
Tra...

Hey everyone! Been a while since I've posted on here. Going forwards in 2025, I'd like to try and get a production log out every week to discuss the work being done on videos. There will be some weeks where not really much happens. But that's okay, because I think using this platform will help me stay focused on creating, by logging the time I put into the episodes between each post.
You'll be able to see these production log posts under the $5 tier! The plan is to hopefully get a post ...

Hello everyone! It's been.. how long since the last log? *checks* Oh. A whole month. Well... let's explain that shall we?
No, TTOS isn't dead. I'm actually waiting for the last batch of voice lines before I start filming and editing! However, I'm working on another project in the meantime...
See, When the Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness trailer came out.. I had a crazy idea. What if I put THOMAS through the Multiverse? Obviously this is.. incredibly difficult. Let alone, how...

The wagons of the NWR have a random tendency to sing when bored.. RATHER WELL, in fact...
This idea came from Spitfire#7624 in my Discord! Decided to make it a canon concept :)

The first scene of Episode 5 has been entirely edited! I had a pretty difficult time working on this, but I'm really proud of how it came out.
(Picture One): Sir Topham Hatt and Harry talking, pre keying.
Episode 5 had a fun scene to work with, something that was originally written as a joke for STONWR, but never saw the light of day. The concept was that Harry (Tidmouth Stationmaster), upon hearing that the passengers on the platform are rioting, warns Sir Topham Hatt no...

With the release of Episode 4 out of the way, I wanted to start something new! This will be a relatively common production log for Tedious Tales of Sodor, where I show off everything I've completed!
The first scene of Episode 5, "Strike!", opens with Sir Topham Hatt, sitting in his office, when the station master, Harry, enters, and informs him of the ongoing strike at Tidmouth sheds, and the rambunctious passengers.
I had one main idea on how to execute this, which wo...
