Okay, when I saw how pissed Edward was that Redrail tried to drown Salty, I ACTUALLY, LEGITIMATELY thought he was going to bash her into the drink right there and then!

This is an amazing story! Enthralling from beginning to end. I would love to see more from you Lemmy!

21:14 James: Oh, imagine the attention I’ll get pulling this thing; I’ll be practically *MOBBED!* Red Rail: *Are u sure about that matey?*

“PLEASE DON’T TAKE MY SIGNED PICTURE OF SIR NIGEL GRESLEY!” Lmfao. Best shit I’ve ever seen. I’d also like to think during the chase, Duck, Gordon, Henry, Donald, Douglas, and Derek and Boco of all engines, beat up both diesels by ramming them into sets of buffers. Gordon finally shoving them through the shed wall

James: “no offense Edward” Also James: * proceeds to insult everything about Edward * This film was amazing! The cinematography, the models, the jokes, it was amazing! My favorite line is James complaining about not getting robbed by “fashionable steam engines”

Lemmy... oh my goodness. I'm only 14 minutes in right now and my word, your ability of storytelling is unmatched. More to come.

Edward - “Believe me, if there were, I’d be sending Gordon a hefty bill.” Amazing work Lemmy, you’ve once again shown us all your outstanding story writing, custom making and filming skills! I can’t wait for more! And also, can’t wait to see TWR TUGS continued!

This was epic! The villains, the sets, the writing, especially the dialogue. It’s always nice to see a Salty story, and this one certainly doesn’t disappoint.

Lemmy what the fuck this was actually my favorite solo Thomas fan film thing ever. It was genuinely hilarious and even a little emotional, especially at the end. The pacing was incredible as well, I never got bored while watching this, something was always happening and it was always important. This was fucking next level, amazing work buddy. Please help me write comedy like you also 👀

25:14 Gordon: “Somebody do something! I’m being robbed!” Duck: “We’re all being robbed, Gordon.” Gordon: “Yes, but my things are actually valuable!”

Seeing Salty have a pirating past exposed was so well done. The first scene was made with the big conflict and Cranky looking like he had no idea what was going on. Seeing Salty's side that doesn't want people to bother with him is something we don't see too often. It was so nice seeing your Tidmouth sheds layout again with your well drawn faces. James was brought into the story in a hilarious way, "Robbed by diesels with a cheap pirate gimmick and no sense in eyepatches!" had me in stitches. Not as good as Gordon's signed Sir Nigel picture though.

21:04 I loved how Edward looked at the viewers before letting james take the train

Hope Gordon got his signed Sir Nigel Gresley picture back.

I had a mini heart attack when I saw how long this was. Lemmy, this tactic of never revealing things until they’re released is a most brilliant tactic. Btw I will write a separate comment after I watched the whole thing through.

“Oh look a J walker!” “A J walker?” “Oh we can surely charge them for that”

A few things I wanted to say 1.I love how everyone just accepts that its a very salty thing to fake your own death. 2. I love how the sets are made. Good mix of great props and great lighting 3. Why does Duck deny he knows nothing about the Seafaring life? Never thought he’d just outright deny it to Edward and Boco. 4. If Snapper and Seahorse were to try and pull cranky up from falling like in the movie then they'd just be town down aswell. 5. I like how Edward sends James out with the gold train even though he knows whats going to happen. Like that could've gone south really quick had the sheet not come off. 6. what happend to James? What happend to his train he abandond? 7. 20:13 EXTREME CLOSE UP WOAH 8. I like the fact you drew in the humans. Much better than just having the out of scale wooden figures or the still out of scale lego characters. 9. did gordon ever get his signed picture of Sir Nigel Gresley back?

The dialogue (especially Cranky’s) is absolutely perfect, and so are the faces! This is magnificent! Positively superb!

But seriously, this was incredible! Finally someone gives salty a fitting & interesting backstory, really fits him & the pirate theme. The sets were awesome, the scenes are gold (the sheds mainly), the voices & characters were awesome & the music was phenomenal, really fits the mood. However judging by the ending, I know this story ain't over, keep it up dude.

I like how the ending implies that Donal' -'d Douglas used to be pirates

Oh my goodness Lemmy this was spectacular the pirate OC's were interesting and when sailor John showed up I technically did not see that coming. This was amazing man.

THE SIGNED PICTURE OF SIR NIGEL GRESLEY 😂😂😂😂😂 It must’ve been a great honour for Gordon to receive such an item! 😂😂😂

This is incredible!

“I’m being robbed by pirates?! Oh my god, why did no one warn me?!” James, Edward tried to warn you earlier but you wouldn’t listen! XDDDD In all seriousness, this was extremely well done. Salty’s one of the last characters I’d expect to get a backstory of some kind, and I loved how you pulled it off. Kudos!

AN AMAZING FILM!!!! I loved it! Great pacing, great editing, and great animation when it comes to the human animation! STUNNING!

The humour in this is incredible and the characters are on point! This is honestly how I envisioned what a modern Thomas show would become and I loved every second of this video.

I like how this adds backstory to a character we were never introduced to.

But what happened to Gordon's signed portrait of his dad-- I mean Sir Nigel Gresley? Joking aside fantastic work: really fun to get a Salty origin story and it's great to see him co-star a special with Edward of all engines! Especially loved the moments with Duck outwitting both the big engines and Redrail's gang.

I just love everything about this. The comedy, the overall plot, how Edward reacts to the situation, how we get to see another side of Salty's character, and ofc the banter with the other engines, everything's so well put together here. Spot on Lemmy.

And right when I thought wooden railway content was no longer interesting. This was very entertaining and very well crafted, I’d pay to see more!

"I'M PULLING THE GOLD TRAIN" I'm beyond words, this was an excellent mix of action, humour and lovely model work as well as the animation around the faces and humans! It was a very tugsesque story too, which us a win in my book. Glad to see you back Lemmy, and i can't wait to see what you got in planned for the future!

This was insane the scenery, story, everything I almost cried seeing Salty get thrown into the drink also James’ character was on point it was hilarious 😆

This is pure brilliance.

Excellent, what a fun romp. I love the pirate diesels, the faces are excellent and the painted over expressions for shots look fab

My god Lemmy this was brilliant. Definitely the highlight of my day!

This story was amazing. The sets, the facial expressions and Salty's backstory. I love the idea of Salty faking his own death to get away from his pirate crowd. Also Donald and Douglas with wrinkles is amazing.

It’s crazy how I always never expect what you will make next. Everything about this, from the sets, the characters, the customs were top notch. The weathering on the pirates was spectacular, and I love how Tidmouth looks especially in its RWS shape and TVS painjob. The editing as well was astounding. Never once did I skip a scene, or was I ever bored. Always exntering. It was so achievable being simplistic, yet it blowed my mind. This was awesome. Love you Sam.

This reminds of me of a certain TUGS episode...

I'm so happy you did a whole story on Salty! I've always loved your takes on TTTE characters on the community channel's character gallery, and Salty's is one of my favorites. Thanks for making my hospital stay more enjoyable, I'm having a sleep study done. I hope you'll make more amazing visual stories or try your hand at writing!

Dude that was fantastic! It really was, so glad it saw the light of day! I truly enjoyed it man!

This was so good Lemmy!!! Your writing is second to none. I love a deeper look into Salty’s past. I think being a part of railway pirates is appropriately fitting. I also love his relationship with Cranky and Edward in this cause it shows a side of Salty we’ve never really seen. I especially enjoyed how you brought Sailor John into this, very clever man.

I was just commenting to my friends how much I missed your original content since...basically Old Souls in 2016. So, imagine my surprise to see this in my subscriptions! I was not disappointed. Every single character, every single scene, every single face, every single animation is perfect. Let's start with the faces - HOLY CRAP those digital faces scream emotion and fit every scene, not to mention elevate this to a whole different level. It's amazing to see how much you've gone from the old paper cutout face masks. I love how every character shines from James being the drama queen, Gordon and his pride, Duck being the smart aleck, Cranky genuinely caring about Salty, Edward bravely rising to the challenge, the villains being legitimately threatening and scary, and (of course) adding so much more layers to Salty's backstory. I am astounded by your drawn animation for the human characters. They look BRILLIANT. It shows how talented you are as an artist as much as a train modeler and writer. The story is so riveting and wonderfully paced. The witty, harsh dialogue slaps. Each beat hits just right, up until the very climax where I was floored. You took a lot of risks, and I think they paid off and then some. Oh, and that reveal at the end was so clever! All in all, this was a hell of a ride, Lemons. If you do more content like this in future, I will be elated. I truly missed seeing your extravagant work come to life like this.

One of the best Thomas fan productions I've ever seen. The voice acting is top notch!

Loving these two villains Seashorse and Snapper at the beginning, much more interesting than Arry and Bert. 👍🏻

This is absolutely epic, the vilain red rail has a awesome and creative design. Everyone is in their character. James is an fashion icon. Salty's story is perfect and is perfectly executed. The length isn't to long or too short. The jokes were hilarious. I want more stuff like this. This was AWESOME 👏👏👏👏👏

I NEED MORE OF THIS!!!

I feel so bad for salty but I'm glad he stick to he's words and have he's heart in the right place and show those no good pirates what he can do salty is one of a kind of pirates.👍🏼

This was a wonderful unexpected surprise! Love this take on Saltys backstory, as well as the characterization of the pirates. In fact I love the characterization of all the engines! You really know your way around these engines, and it makes this story amazing! Keep up the good work!

Good show Lemmy! The faces and characters are very well done and it really brings the story alive! Certainly one of the finest fandom stories in a long while!

I finally got round to seeing this and this was amazing! The pirate life story of Salty I’ve always wanted to see! Your animations, filming, storytelling, and music made it such an epic tale. Kinda gave me some Pirates of the Caribbean vibes too. Excellent reference with having John as the ringleader. Well done man!

I. Loved. This! This is one of the best wooden railway films I’ve seen in awhile. The scenery, storytelling, comedy, and voice work were amazingly done and out together! This might actually inspire to start making content on this account again. Amazing job Lemmy!

Have to say, this was randomly in my recommendeds, but I'm glad I saw it because this really blew my expectations away! :D I must go back in your channel and see your other works right away! Can't wait to see more in the future!

This was incredible, one of my favorite Thomas fan productions ever. A compelling story, great original characters, and great gags that didn’t feel forced. As well with that twist ending which I won’t reveal. Also that D&D line at the end *chef kiss* encapsulates one of the many reasons I love the characters, what writing!

I'm only 16 minutes in and I already love this story,Salty's back story is a very interesting concept and the editing and custom making skills look fantastic,you've done a amazing job

awesome work lemmy, Salty and Edward definitely shined in this story, james is the best drama queen

This was so good I actually shedded tears.

That look on Edward’s face when James was talking about how old Edward is 🤣😂

We need more of this, you have so much great story ideas that most of us couldn’t even dream of. This was more than brilliant, this was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Lemmy

This is amazing

I really don’t know how you do it. I’ve watched this countless times for the amazing customs, sets, storyline, really the whole thing! Great work!

That was absolutely beautiful ❤️

An unconventional story yet thoroughly entertaining. The story, sets, voice acting everything was great, especially the humour. Well done. Can't wait to see more from you.

this was a really interesting story to see. The tone felt truly original whilst still paying homage to those from the series. I also really like the faces here, they're very expressive and original, not being a simple edit of a model face over the wooden.

Was missing your stories. This is an awesome story for salty. Great work. Also James had lupin the third eyes when he saw that train of gold.

This is amazing! I loved this so much. Glad it was that long. Great work! The faces and villains were great! Loved the editing! The voices And that unexpected person! Lastly great animation for the people and the engine faces! I always wanted to see a story about Salty's pirate life! And this was incredible

I don't know how you do it, but you somehow always manage to strike pure gold with these videos! The writing chops on you is astounding.

Dude…..that was awesome.

34:42 So are we not going to question the fact that Donald and Douglas basically just confessed to having a criminal history?

Wow this is amazing. Love the story's intensity, the drawings for the faces and humans, the music, the customs, etc. Spectacular

I love your series and was a bit sad when I saw it ended. I saw this floating around on twitter and I had high expectations, Lemmy's first film in 4 years! And it went above and beyond my expectations! The models, the voices, the faces, the soundtrack. All of it was perfect! I've already watched it three times since it came out! I can't wait for anything you do in the future!

Lemmy, this, this is amazing!!!! The way you worked Salty backstory, just everything!! My favorite part was when duck stopped the turn table and said "no you dont"

Very spectacular from start to finish! This is one of my favorite fan made Thomas short films.

I love this wooden railway remake

I fell in love with this story. I love the face animations I love the new characters it's just perfect

Love it. This. Was. EPIC. One of the best videos I've ever seen and I'd love too see more like it

Dare I say this is the best Thomas project I've ever seen

Red Rail looks quite unique, does she have a basis? Smart with her two hench diesels?

This was brilliant! You never cease to amaze me with your editing, set designs and production quality. Well done!

Can we give a round of applause for this awesome video, the sketches on the humans looks amazing and stands out from other creators and that’s awesome, the sets and story are also amazing, editing as well, i could go on and on to be honest. Great work lad!

im so sad that this has dislikes the love and camera work and the faces are incredible good job i love every second of this video i didn't skip a single part! And the customs for this are incredible good work!!!!

This is the best story telling ever good job

This is fantastic

34:44 best joke in the entire movie, this was a master piece! Absolutely loved it so much! We need a sequel!!!

This was a amazing story

So many things I love about this video holy shit. You did such a spectacular job, mate! 1. SUCH a compelling story! AND SALTY LORE!! Tbh, I never cared about him that much; he just seemed like your generic rugged pirate lover. But this adds so much to him 2. THE PEOPLE ARE DRAWN!! And they're drawn so well too! I love that!! 3: The other characters' portrayals are SO good. Lemme just list a few of em off -EDWARD!!! AND HE PLAYS A MAJOR ROLE! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM HERE -I love Cranky in this. He doesn't seem to care but really he DOES and that's awesome -Big Engine Gang banter!! -Goddammit James, you iconic bastard. lmao -Gordon absolutely has Gresley's picture on the wall. That is now canon and no one can change my mind -Okay they were only really featured at the end, but it makes complete sense that Don n Doug knew a lotta pirates back in the day. What if they had Scottish bar fights, except they were engine shed fights,, 4. Speaking of the end, I was completely not expecting Sailor John. But that makes so much fucking sense holy shit that was so clever

I love that the real captin is sailer John

Definitely one of my favorite fan-projects from this year, a perfect mix of character, action and drama, definitely gonna rewatch this sometime soon

The scenes with James and Red rails pirates is funny!

I just imagined cranky staring at them like god damn it there’s more of them

NOT THE SIGNED PICTURE OF SIR NIGEL GRESLY Also Donald quieting after seeing the officers is comedy gold

This is so good, it’s so great to see some new unique Wooden Railway content! This was so awesome to watch

This was great. Loved it.

Lemmy this story is Amazing!!! I enjoyed watching this so Much!!!! Great Job and keep up the Great Work!!!!

This was so well done lemmy ! I can’t tell you how much I missed your stories . I loved everything about this video , especially the customs . That ship at the docks was amazing ! Great job

Well worth it in the end. No matter the style the one consistency is that you always tell a good story. The characters are so well written. I love how James forces his way into the circumstance and is equally as mad as the pirates in the end. Maybe the real pirates in our lives are the ones we least expect. Edward and Salty’s relationship is great but Salty and Cranky’s is even better. This episode proved how much Cranky cares about Salty and that he’ll put his life on the line, literally, for him. This deep dive into a shady past for Salty was amazing. Salty’s always spoken as a hardened engine with experience and this provides great insight on that. The pirates were great designs and even better. You balanced comedy and drama well in this story. Humor isn’t the first thing I think about with your work but Cranky, James, Gordon and even Edward had some great laughs. Loved the story and I can’t wait for many more.

This is brilliant! Well done Lemmy!

Hot damn despite from it being a toy train set you made it 10 out of 10 with the animations and everything, get this man a Oscar

14.50 Very clever wordplay there, bravo! Cute story! Great twist on the Salty character; he was one of my favourites way back when. Really liked the Hanna Barbera-esque humans too. Great job!

This is 100% one of the top best fan movies, keep up the incredible work

A Sir Handel movie would’ve been better but, unfortunately there is no such thing as perfection.

Everyone’s congratulating Lemmy for a good job (rightfully so!) but I’m more happy he’s back with Thomas content!!!
