As someone who films trains on a daily basis, I can confirm this is 100% accurate and exactly how trains get derailed.

Anyone who combines sound effects from The Polar Express, T-34, and Twister into one video has my respect.

It's over the top, flashy, very cinematic, and very unrealistic. 10/10 I love it and the "how's it going" at the end was probably the best part.

Quality filmmaking, made me jump, laugh, and appreciate the sheer amount of effort that went in to this.

Those passenger carts had some explosive bolts

I thought this was gonna be realistic but this is hilarious. Good job.

This has the same janky camera work as The Polar Express, and I'm loving it.

1:11 it’s the flying scotsman

Man, this crash is so over the top that I feel like the one in Super 8 acted as inspiration for it! Nice animation, friend

And at the end the guy in the train just said "How's it going?". Truly balls of steel.

As a train nerd, I love this so much! RIP the Flying Scotsman in this video btw

This is amazing! I took a 2 year class for blender and cant even do this level of detail. Absolutely amazing!!!!! Your models are so good and the animation was flawless!

Is it just me or does 1:20 just sound so dope. The rhythmic thumping of the crash 👌

I love how the passenger coaches just explode on impact for no reason, almost as if Michael Bay made this. 🤣 apart from that, very well done animation

Corridor Digital sent me. Bravo 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks Corridor Digital for showing me this gem!

I don't know if a British engine has a American whistle But this animation is amazing Edit: THANKS FOR THE LIKES

Nice use of the Polar Express sound effects and the leaf at the beginning was a nice little reference

Congrats man, impressing the corridor crew ain't no easy feat

This was great. I love the detail and effort that was put into this. But, it hurts that a Flying Scotsman model was used

1:53 - "hey ron!" "Hey Billy!... That hurt."

Man, that was realistically epic crash. RIP Flying Scotsman

have you ever thought of recreating real life crashes like say southall rail crash and paddington railcrash because this animation is absolutely fantastic and when it comes to train crashes no amount of information shock will compare to the visuals and the sounds, I think you could make some amazing and deep recreations of such crashes and really show people just what its like to go through something like that on a personal level

Man, that sound design is amazing, I could listen for hours~ the visuals were incredibly well done, you really get a sense of weight, even with the explosions!

I was not expecting this to be so intense, had to re-watch just to take it all in. How long did it take for you to make this awesome animation?

So over the top, love it. Just how one coach flipped over caused a bomb level of explosion. Also RIP Flying Scotsman.

I applaud the effort and time you put into this. It's over the top and has a surprise ending.

I remember as a child when I used to get my toy train derailed and it did so the same way, impressive how realistic it is

Great job! Loved the random Micheal Bay esque explosions! Definitely fits the surreal vibe of the whole crash!

Between how absurdly over-the-top it is, all the implausible explosions (passenger coaches), and the impressively done VFX, the Hollywood film industry is sure to have many opportunities for this guy!

Apart from the great animation, I think the best part of this is setting up the plot as an excuse to animate the crash of a train. You don’t need to know where the guy came from or why nobody else is on the train. It’s just the simple circumstances of the scene that lets the train crash make sense, and the dude survives! This guy knows how to have fun with cgi.

i am not one to usually get scared of horror movies and something about the sound design and only one person being in the train frightened me to my core. it's like the mechanics of the train and the rails where the monster knowing that it would destroy itself in pleasure to take the life of the only passenger. extremely good job landon!

1:38 This sequence *chefs kiss*

I love how no one realize the side rods on the LNER A3 is "literally" moving backwards but the train itself is moving forward 0:38 (put on 0,25x speed)

OMG this is amazing!!! From modeling to animation to sound to camera angles, this deserves an award no doubt. I cant express how excellent everything was.

This is awesome! The random guy at the end asking how it's going. This is just great!

Calmest Michael Bay film be like:

I like how you used Polar Express sound effects, the only thing i don't like are the sparks coming from the coaches's wheels, normally sparks don't come out unless the vehicle or rolling stock is braking or turning at a sharp curve

corridor sent me and I'm glad they did

After corridor crew😍

as someone who is a british rail enthusiast i can tell you that the americ- i mean english rolling stock is very legit yes yes and the locomotive totally has that whistle yes yes

"How's it going?" Pure comedy gold right there

Man tbh this is a sick masterpiece. Never seen anything like this or even close to this! Keep it up🎉🎉

These visual are incredible. I'm glad that guy survived the crash.

Just imagine being in a train alone without a driver or fireman, and suddenly your train crashes and suddenly you get knocked unconscious

Combining British locomotives with American sounds is what is known to us railfans as highly sacriligeous.

I like how the motion fo the rods on these trains are almost animated properly

Watching this with headphones makes it even more intense and I love it!

I understand that the characters may not be the best of quality, but holy shit that is terrifyingly accurate train crash wise

This is unlike anything i have seen before, I can already tell this video will blow up. Myself who loves trains gives this a 10/10 👍

I haven’t seen something this good since bullet train, or the commuter

I love how in every train crash animation something hits the guy driving/riding it

wow this is truly amazing! wonder how much time it took to make and then to render

Amazing! Love the use of the Polar Express soundeffects, and the train speeding pass the leaf like the trainticket:))

As a guy who loves trains,cars and etc a little bit too much. This give me a tear I dunno why

This is a masterpiece 👏

you are improving a lot man! Did you use rigid bodies or is all hand animated?

Like how you use the polar Express sound effects, and this is probably one of the best animations I've seen ever

The Ending ;D No but seriously, im just starting to learn blender and it´s already SO hard to make stuff animate good. MUCH respect to all the effort that was put into the keyframing and modelling of the destruction, this is absolutely great! Really good video!

“ luckily no one was hurt“ The Thomas & Friends narrator for every episode

I recognize a couple sounds from super 8, red tails, and a few other movie train crashes. Love that sound design!

Boys when selfie: 00:44

I love how accurate the animations are

The detail, the animation, the story. Phenomenal work!

Aside from the stellar visual work here, I have to commend on how ingeniously farcical the short was clearly intended to be. Showing the World's Most Famous Steam Loco in a off-beat scenario, and actually crash and explode in impact was part of the joke, yet it's depicted ever so accurately. It hammers it in when the only survivor of the whole ordeal is the human occupant. Incredibly the 'Flying Scotsman' did almost face a collision impact in real life; it happened while it was on its nationwide tour of Australia in the late 1980s. As it was travelling on-route to Alice Springs, a road-truck raced across an isolated road-crossing in front of the approaching locomotive, though it cleared the tracks before it went any further. Regards, Samuel Farris.

I laughed, I cried, it’s a cinematic masterpiece

Completely encapsulates the romance of travelling by rail

Damn man, this was incredible. Well done, i especially wanna mention how you nailed the realism since this exact thing has happened to me twice, both times while on vacation in Austria and thats why I always bring a neck pillow and sit with my back towards the front of the train.

I like the fact that there’s literally just one guy on the train and he doesn’t even question that it’s empty or there isn’t any conductors or engineers on board lol

I saw a train today and the same thing happened it was insane. Good job on the animation.

As someone who has watched The Polar Express a million times as a kid, I'm able to hear every sound effect that has been sampled from the film.

0:55 is an “oh no” moment. While 1:06 is an instant concussion.

Reminds me of Final Destination, good work!

This looks like if “The Polar Express”, the “Knowing” subway crash scene, and the “Super 8” train wreck had a baby, and I’m all for it Edit: Oh and the “Final Destination 3” subway scene 😂

"Luckily no one was hurt" -Narrator

The camera angles and sounds give me major polar express vibes. Love it!

1:28 I hope that crash wasn't FS exploding.

that sound design is soooo good totally makes up for the little bit of jankyness super impressive for one person

The short blender film of this old model locomotive is done to perfection at fine detail, reminded me of a final destination movie

if this actually happened to flying scotsman, who just turned 100 YEARS OLD,i would actually cry.

I just wanted to say this was very entertaining and really motivates me as a beginner in Blender to keep practicing. I checked out your website and it says you made this at age 16. Are you really 16? If so this is phenomenal work and you have a very bright future ahead of you.

This is just a big ol chef's kiss

Dang blender train crash animation is a great movie highly recommended

british people would be mad that you chose the flying sctosman as the derailing train

can we talk on how the pistons where moving in reverse gear while the engine was moving forward?

1:17 the side rods is a bit glitch

Amazing! A nightmare! dream sequence! Very well done! Shows what can be done with Blender.

It's really good and something I can only dream to achieve on blender but in the outside shot of the train during the established in B you had the Piston rides going backwards

That was great animation work man great job, can wait for people who have actually seen the flying scptsmam in real life to see this, they're either be amazed at the animation or go mad seeingthe world's most famous locomotive crash

I hope this does not happen to me when I’m working on an building site in Birmingham soon

As a train fan and person who likes to film, this is really accurate to reality

It pained me to see such a fate befall The Flying Scotsman. But it was a great animation!

Just have one thing I noticed. In one scene of the train before it crashed, the wheels were spinning backward. Besides that you did a great job!

My favourite project that I'll make after learning the blender

The graphic is beyond amazing

Wonderful animation my friend! And this crash is really cool and accurate to railway crashes in real life!

this is impressive lol also love the sound design (not entirely sure how you did that) neat :>

"You should've listened brother." -Gordon

amazing job! had me sitting on the edge of my seat while i was watching this

My god... This animation is so realistic!! And your channel is too underated... So keep it up, man!
