Regularly Updated Sodor Race Brackets

What Sir Topham Hatt thinks after every races: "These engines sure do get mess up in these races. I should get insurance like Allstate or Nationwide for my engines. Are they in good hands? or Will Nationwide really be on my side? WAIT A MINUTE! I don't believe in insurance."

The Next Couple of Videos

Plan for the Next Couple of Weeks

I have already made:

Update July 16, 2013: I moved this a day early!

Tomy Sodor Races: Diesel vs Dennis Race 7
(Should be uploaded by Saturday because I am giving time for others to watch the other races)











So after July 20, I will have two more races then a remake. I'll also have to skip over some races, but I will go back and actual film them later. The reason is that I don't have certain things needed for that particular race.

Note for Tomy Sodor Races: Spencer vs Toby: If you didn't get what happened in that race then you need to go read a story called The Hare and the Tortoise. Or at least watch Edward the Great!

I also want to get through the first round of the Sodor Races first. Then there will be more remakes.

Schedule: (Maybe Change dates)
(Update July 21, 2013: July 24, 2013 - Race 9 instead of Race 8)

Ask Percyengine619 Answers [Updated]

I choice a couple of the questions to answer  and the reason why is at the very bottom of the page.
For those who keep asking for requests for movies, episodes, and etc remakes just STOP. 
I explained all of that in the video.
Questions and Answers:

My question: How tall is Percyengine619?

6ft 4in (6'4") so it is hard to move around my set, film, keep the camera steady since the whole thing is on the floor.

Why do engines keep getting scrapped in your Sodor Races Series?

I wanted a more serious tone since I can't really do comedy that would be funny for my subs, but funny for certain people. Also, I wanted a more serious tone since I haven't really seen a serious tone series of Thomas and Friends on YouTube before. Just wait till around the end because that is when it is all going DOWN!!!

1. hmm tough call but what was your hardest. and easiest remake?
Hardest Tomy Toby and The Flood. Easiest: Tomy Thomas and the Conductor.

2. what was the name of your very first video?
“Thomas and Friends Locmotion” the oldest video on my channel. The real first video was a redone of the whistle song.

3. What is your favorite remake in terms of your favorite episode from the actual Thomas series?
Down the Mine

4. In the remake of big strong Henry how did u make the pond Percy goes bye at 0:24?
I used a large baking pan and used pond rocks to surround it. Then fill it up with real water. To make it blue use food coloring. (I actually used my fish water test kit to make it blue).

5. what was the most expensive tomy Thomas item that you got either online or in the store. (or the top 3 if there are more than one most expensive items)
Good Question! These Japanese Trains each cost $26. Gordon, Percy, Surprised Percy with Rock, and Edward.

6. do you know how to speak any other languge?
I took Spanish 1 and 2 in high school, but I am not that good.

7. How long was to make your remake on Thomas and the Magic Railroad remake?
A week and each day had 4 hours of filming and 4 hours of editing.

8. How much Money have you evested in your layout? (Plz make a RWS remake :D)
About $800 - $900 going up to $1000+ with the new addition. Remake the RWS isn’t priority number for a lot of subs, but maybe.

9. On average how long does it take to make one of your videos?
The 4:30 videos: A total of 1.5 hours
The 7:00 videos: A total of 3.5 hours
The 8:45 videos: A total of 4.5 hours

10. How many peices of rolling stock do you have ALL together?
Over 300. You don’t see the whole 300 on the set though.

11. Are u happy Duck's back
I really stop watching after Season 12. I just watch the newer season and movies with my little sister from time to time.

12. What do you think is the best remake you've ever remade?
Tomy Put Upon Percy HANDS DOWN!
13. When your layout is finished, will you ever show a picture of the entire thing?
The day I get 100,000 subs.

14. who is your favorite tender engine?
In the series Edward. Tomy/Trackmaster is Donald and Douglas

15. Hey do you make custom models?not modified trains but stuff like the railway series trains or trucks?
Never made one.

16. What made you start doing the Sodor Races?
Just go to Sodor Race Post it there.

17. what are your thoughts on season 8-16
Very dull boring backgrounds in the CGI seasons let alone CGI. I don’t even watch really. Look at question 11. I’ve see other students in my school made better CGI art. The reason I really don’t like it is it looks

18. Are a lot of your engines broken
None of my train are broken.

19.  How old are you??
18

20. Is it hard to get items since tomy doesn't sell their stuff outside Japan anymore?
It’s called eBay.com

21. What was the book you used in Flash Bang Wallop?
I don’t have it anymore nor do I remember.

22. Why did you like detailed engines?
Because it’s detailed and made more realistic. Why would I want something that was made with little to no work effort put in

23. How many re-takes do you have to do for a scene on average?
2.5 retakes

24. Do u ever think about using trackmaster tracks
Too bulky and it cost too much money on eBay.

Models!

Besides making remake and Sodor Races it is:
Xbox/Playstation gaming
PC
Aquariums (FishKeeping)
Some Anime
Cars

31. here is my question what type of camera do you have?
Sony

32. coke or pepsi
They both suck. Long story to why I hate both.

33. How Long have you been collecting tomy and trackmaster trains
Great Question! I started in 2007 with the Tomy Ultimate set. By 2008 I had two ultimate sets and the lots of tracks to start a bigger set in my basement. After my dad made a room for guest, I stop for a year. I started again because I realized there was extra room in the basement and I had enough money to start again. Then I stopped again in 2011 because of flood which brought toxic mold and mildew. After one year again, Google AdSense invited to join so I can earn money. I decided to use that money to make a set again. So you can say I been on YouTube for 3 years.

Once Again if I didn’t answer your question it is because:
1. Lack of Time
2. Question was already answered in the video.
4. Similar to the questions I already answered.
5. Spelling and grammar was way off that I couldn’t read it.

6. It was a request.
