In the real Thomas and The Magic Railroad, you notice the film looks different from the regular Thomas and Friends series. I decided to do this with the movie and shoot it in a different look than my remakes.

Questions and Answers
What was your favorite part in your
movie remake?
The part where James appears in front of Mr. Conductor
after escaping from Diesel 10 because the scene looks almost like the real one.
Little scenes came be big things!

What was the hardest scene to remake?
The scene where Lady and Thomas are on the viaduct because it was so cold and freezing. I would have waited for a warmer day but the weather forecasted more rain and colder temperatures.
How long did it take to remake the whole
movie?
I started 12/20/12 and finished 12/30/12. Every day
except on Sunday and Christmas day, I spent 3 – 4 hours filming and spent 3 – 4
hours editing. So it took a total of 31.5 hours to make the whole movie.
What are going to do after Tomy Thomas
and the Magic Railroad?
Make a couple of remakes till I get all the Narrow
Gauge engines which wouldn’t be an easy task or cheap task.
Why don’t you do any request we submit
to you by channel comment, video comment, or messages?
I do eventually if I know I can do it or if I really
want to do it. Also, if I never planned on doing the remake I wouldn’t do it.
Why are the engines turn around during the night scene when Diesel 10 destroys Tidmouth Sheds?
It is my way of saying the engines are sleeping since I can't close their
eyes for them.

The Making of Pinchy
Pinchy is so big because a bigger Pinchy looks more threaten and intimidating.
I started off with a small stick and made a claw out of construction paper for pinchy.
