"Sure, let's film Thomas going back and forth on this line, why not?"

2:27 There's something about this shot of Henry passing under the camera that makes it feel awesome to watch.

1:06:16-1:06:18 Evil James, Gordon, and Henry be like: “Wonderful!” 😁 “Honorable!” 😀 “Reputable!” 😁

The fact that season 5 has 35 minutes worth of deleted scenes makes you wonder how much memory those cameras have

Now I feel old, I've worked out I was 11 years old when Thomas first started and I'm now 51 years old, thanks for a really interesting video. Didn't realise so much had been cut from all those seasons. Just started rewatching all the season myself half way through season 3.

13:55 IDK why, but the way the music ramps up as soon as the deleted scene of the eaten fish on a plate shows up makes me chuckle lol

I wonder how long this video would be if ALL the rushes for every season were public, considering Season 5 takes up 70% of the video. Really well done compiling all the deleted scenes here! Makes it very easier finding the footage instead of searching through all the classic songs.

Currently vibing to those catchy Thomas tunes that were mentioned at the start.

49:39 The haunting presence this shot of the little ghost engine gives off is incredible, i really wish they'd kept it in. I just love pouring through the fandom to see all the headcannons for who the ghost engine was and how he could work in series lore. My personal idea i think works almost seamlessly. Since Awdry had a 3rd 0-4-0 in the RWS like Rheneas & Dolgoch called *"Jennings"* i see no reason why another 4-4-2 sibling like Skarloey & Talyllyn couldn't of existed as well called *"Fletcher".* Here's the story: Back in 1864 when Skarloey & Rheneas we're first built by Fletcher, Jennings & Co. they we're both sold off to Sodor. The factory some time later built another 0-4-0 like Rheanas named "Jennings" after one of the company's owners respectively, and soon after was also sent to Sodor to work on the Mid-Sodor. Years later in 1945 came the day the SR fell on hard times, both engines we're struggling to make meets end and work was declining rapidly, until the day Skarloey finally wore out and was retired to the shed, leaving Rheneas to run the line alone. With no one else to help the manager ordered a 3rd new engine from Fletcher, Jennings & Co., another 0-4-0 like Skarloey named "Fletcher" named after the 2nd owner of the company like Jennings was. After arriving to Sodor Fletcher was put to work running goods while Rheneas took care of passengers. For nearly 7 years the two engines worked well together, but conditions of the line were starting to show and due to the war efforts most parts of it we're difficult to maintain, but work had to go regardless.... that is until the fateful night when Fletcher was making his way home from the quarry. The swampy mists surrounding the bridge made it impossible to see a loose rail joint, Fletcher non the wiser rolled onto the bridge and hit the snag, tipping over the side plunging to his death taking the lives of his crew with him. When he was reported missing late the next day everyone searched the line until they came to the old iron bridge, only to find evidence of the broken rail and that something had made contact with it.... the conclusion to Fletcher's whereabouts was all too simple. Workman searched the waters below for days, but there was mysteriously no sign of the little engine. Further attempts to find him were soon called off. Skarloey & Rheneas we're devastated by their friend's loss. As time went on the railway continued to struggle, that is until Rheneas' valve gear jammed and kicked the bucket himself. Not long after he was sent back to England to be overhauled did the railway begin to prosper again, the war was over and the line could be afforded to be fully mended again. In 1952 Sir Handel & Peter Sam arrived to take over the line while Skarloey was also sent away to be overhauled. Once the 4 little engines we're back together and Rusty, Duncan & Duke joined the fleet, life on the SR as we know it returned to normal.... until the day Rusty told us his story. Fletcher's ghost is doomed to haunt the bridge forever, trapped in an endless cycle forced to relive his tragic last moments alive... never to make it home.

16:37 "He was overloaded with flour," came the reply, "and he broke down."

If Thomas & Friends ever gets released on Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray as a complete series the music videos should be included.

Honestly, this compilation video was a wonderful excuse for me to listen to the songs and soundtrack again. Mike and Junior’s music is truly transcendent.

Season 5 has to be the most complex Thomas season in the model series.

33:56 - I love how the sound effects here are in sync with the footage

Deleted scenes are always somewhat interesting. Deleted Scenes allows you to see what ideas the crew has when filming the episodes. Or what impact the deleted scenes would have on the story.

Really cool seeing all the deleted/unused/alternate shots from Season 5 (well, the majority of them) in one video. Really shows just how much stuff that was filmed went unused and kept in storage for nearly 25 years. Also makes one wonder just how much unseen footage there is for Seasons 1-4. The same can be said for the rest of the model era, but its the Classic Era BTS that intrigues me a lot more, because Seasons 1-5 was my childhood (so were TATMR and S6 to be fair, but not on the same level as the first five seasons) and the fact things are STILL being discovered about that era of the show after so many years is just incredible.

Congrats on getting married this month Tug!

7:12 somehow I've never seen that shot before, and I love it.

Only OG's will remember when Tug had to reupload the original video because it got copyright claimed by good old Mattel :)

Seeing all these Season 5 rushes, many of which I hadn't (because I'd only watched the highlight reel), made me realize just how well season 5 would work in widescreen.

Deleted scenes are all so interesting to watch, especially when things go wrong!

Hello Unlucky Tug I'm Autistic and I'm from the UK, I love your videos keep up the good work🙂, Thomas has been one of the biggest parts of my life and still is, that's why when I'm watching these clips I feel like I'm having a Mandela effect because most of these scenes are just as I've always seen them on my VHS'S and DVD'S, so I don't know what's happening!

Deleted scenes are some of the best parts to any show or movie since they add so much more to the story and they showcase all the creative ideas the people making the shows have

So far we have seen: Season 1 (1984) - *COMPLETE* Season 2 (1986) - *INNOVATIVE* Season 3 (1991) - *BIG* Season 4 (1994) - *COMFY* Season 5 (1998) - *PEAK* Season 6 (2002) - *CUTE* Season 7 (2003) - *EYE OF THE STORM* Jack & the Pack (2003) - *QUAINT* Season 8 (2004) - *MILQUETOAST* Season 9 (2005) - *PEAKS AND VALLEYS* Season 10 (2006) - *???*

so the rushes of season 5 really made this video almost 5 times longer That's kinda poetic

The amount of deleted scenes here is insane, keep up the good work man!

This is a certified Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends deleted scene heaven! Great work on compiling these!

59:28 Happy 84th Birthday to the late Peter Fonda 🥲

Arthur pulling the red express coaches is just amazing. Especially because just over a week ago I saw the real engine pulling similar coaches.

Congratulations on the Marriage Tug! Best wishes to you and your wife

Good to see we've got most of Chumish's deleted scenes!

Nice video Tug, love the work and congrats on getting married

I love the scene in a scarf for Percy where the truck has jam on him

1:15 I know this a bit off topic but Thomas’s season 1 theme is a masterpiece by mike and junior and there are plenty of recreations but they never capture the original. Glad we have a clean version of it without deafening sound effects. It’s one of the very few original themes we have from the PC games other then a part from Percy’s theme and Harold and The Caledonian twins and Harold’s theme (partially) oh yeah and trevor and a few tracks posted on junior Campbell’s KZfaq channel Hopefully for the 40th anniversary of the show this year we could get the pilot and soundtrack. The soundtrack definitely isn’t lost media considering mike and junior recorded them and some were put in pc games

43:56 My fav theme 1

I loved the original deleted scene video but then it got removed after your original channel got terminated and was not able to find it on your archive or a reupload. I am so happy thar you are doing this again!

42:29 Now you can see *why* the crew left this scene of Harold flying in the air was cut out. 😂 Anyways, impressive video as always Tug! These deleted scenes and cut B-Roll always makes me put a smile on my face on just how much the crew wasted tons and tons of money filming these wonderful shots that were sadly never used in the final versions of episodes. I'm so glad that Britt and the crew used these in Music Videos and other promotional material.

Nice to see this archive updated and preserved now.

I don’t know what it is but there’s something so wonderful about all of these shots.

Ya know, I always knew the Thomas music was magical, but listening to all of this music back to back is truly something special. The deleted scenes are great, but I’m reliving my childhood just listening to the soundtrack. What a masterpiece

The fact that season 5 has the most deleted scenes from the classic era just proves that it’s the best Thomas and Friends has to offer.

26:10 - I don’t think anyone has actually considered this clip from Toby and the flood until I made a deleted scenes video on Toby and the flood where I combined the deleted scenes with the original episode and included that clip! Until I made that video everyone assumed it was from A surprise for Percy.

13:36 Honestly, the deleted scenes for the "Gone Fishing" music video are cute. It's just Thomas watching his driver and fireman go fishing. It's so simple, yet so fun to see. 😊 55:02 I'm not gonna lie, just seeing Dilly riding around with Donald is really sweet. 🥰 Same for getting to see her with Henry, Thomas, and some of the human characters. 1:12:08 I also won't lie here. Seeing Arthur pull a train of red express coaches awakens within me a sense of satisfaction that I can't fully describe. I mean, there's something about a tank engine as big as Arthur taking coaches that are usually pulled by Henry, James, and especially Gordon that's just so fascinating. In a nutshell, this deleted scene... it just feels right. 😌

Even the deleted scenes for season 5 get so much love it’s like a big chunk of the video god it really is the best season

Seeing all these deleted scenes makes me appreciate how much work went into a single episode, let alone an entire season.

Great job on this update version from the previous video seeing some of the many deleted and unused footage from the both the classic model series and from the film Thomas and the Magic Railroad makes me love and appreciate the hard work and dedication that went into this wonderful series thanks Unlucky Tug for sharing this great compilation of my favorite blue tank engine 👍💙🚂

You are the best!!! You are the pride of the Thomas fandom!

The funny thing is if you have the VHS tapes from like the early 2000s or late 90s of Thomas and Friends, some of the deleted scenes and images are used on the back of those

Nick! This is excellent, you have been an inspiration for my deleted scenes videos that I made. Keep up the good work mate! Thanks for your videos, I have so much fun watching them.

Thank you for uploading a bit earlier on friday lately so people in Europe get to enjoy your content on a friday afternoon!

yayyy i love when you release videos so i can listen to them on my 10 hour shift

Greatly appreciate your smooth cutting between the music video and rushes.

Wow! Series 5 wasn’t shy on filming a lot! 😱 Great Video on the deleted scenes of Thomas & Friends from 1 until 7! 👏🏻 It so nice that these clips were put into good use and weren’t bin! 😄👍🏻

It’s awesome seeing things that the producers didn’t want us to see

The Thomas music really made this a relaxing thing to watch, despite how long it was. What was over an hour of footage felt like half an hour: thanks for putting this all together!

Perfect. Now I can binge it

I finally got round to watching this. Amazing compilation, and the music slaps! You can't beat classic era Thomas for music and cinematography.

Goodluck on your marriage Tug. I'm sure others will produce other critical analysis Thomas content during you momentous occasion ❤ You deserve a break.

This video took me back to my childhood it’s amazing after nearly after 80 years of the show and we’re still finding things like this

Thanks for recovering this I remember watching this and thinking oh the footage from the music video was meant for this or that context1:44 WAIT A SECOND

I’ve been waiting on this one Season 5 looks insane

Man I have fond memories of watching the original. So this is awesome! Love it!

These guys had the best job in the world making this show

Excellent update!

Awesome video😍♥️

LADS WAKE UP, THE UNLUCKY TUG HAS RELEASED A NEW VIDEO !

Man two great videos within just 1 week of eachother.

I like how you do a little Part 2 of your previous video, but a better version of one of your older videos!

After I saw James on the narrow gauge tracks in the red ballon song, I was wonder what he was thinking? Like he must be saying to himself, how did I get here? 😂

These deleted scenes are very awesome in my opinion

Nice to see these hour + videos.

I love this stuff and it amazing how many deleted scenes there are

This is an amazing vid

GG i missed this watching the railway seires vid Well Played Tug

I love the thumbnail so detailed

Idk why but Thomas & Friends deleted scenes are so amazing It's like looking at more pieces in the story👏

It disappointed me when the TATMR workprint initially leaked as a small portion of it was model stuff. I would enjoy the film a lot more (even if it wasn't written well) if it was more model-heavy. Edit: we were robbed of Arthur pulling the express >:(

Awesome video

Wow, I had not been expecting this, since your wedding was around the corner, Nic. But anyway, great job! It's wonderful to see every single one of those deleted scenes together, like if you were watching them on a DVD. (Of course, those ones for Thomas and the Magic Railroad were released with the 20th anniversary edition, but that is for the US only.) I can't believe how many of them were made, yet they were put on the cutting room floor! 😮 But then we can't have everything for a five-minute runtime. By the way, I'm a little surprised that from 54:43 to 54:58, we don't get to see the snowman of the Fat Controller frowning and smiling. That always satisfied me as a kid, wondering if that was actually the Fat Controller covered in snow. 😆

These deleted scenes shown how Thomas looked so fantastic with the model sets.

Awesome,more deleted scenes.

What makes this footage really interesting to me is that I find myself really curious about Sodor from an operational perspective. I'd love it if there was a dedicated game or scenario pack for Train Simulator or Trainz that explored that, with a full map to accompany it. Just seeing the trains running around is fascinating by itself, which set the model era apart from the rest of the show.

They definitely had some inside joke with that duck, putting it in tons of scenes.

I love deleted scenes.

consistent uploading from Tugs? Life is great

Amazing

6:00 "That sounds like a steam engine," he thought. The "HISSSSSSSSS" came again. Also 6:00 "Hold back! Hold back!", whispered S. C. Ruffey, "and pass the word to the others." The silly trucks giggled. But Oliver knew what to do. There was plenty of sand on the rails, and his wheels gripped splendidly. He gave a great heave. "Oooh!", groaned S. C. Ruffey, "I don't like this!"

The Haunted Henry shots are fantastic. Great atmosphere. The buzz they must have had. when they shot the series.

Never knew that 'Season 3 - Bridge over Waterfall' set was a double track.

All that extra footage from season five really makes you wonder what additional dialogue was meant to go with it, and how long the episode would’ve been if everything remained intact.

I thought the first deleted scenes video was good, but now you’re going in depth with the whole classic era. You’re spoiling us with these deleted scenes Tug and I love it.

I REALLY hope we eventually find the Season 4 B-Roll.

The CGI and AEG show will never have the beauty and charm of deleted scenes or bloopers of this level

I think the biggest surprise was that the bridge over the waterfall (10:50) is *double tracked*

Those scenes of Thomas from Thomas, Percy and the Mail Train are epic; a shame they were never repurposed

The escape theme from Escape is an absolute banger so is the theme from Rusty to the rescue! They are masterpieces by Mike and Junior!!

Some of those unused panning shots around the bend with the rocks were so pretty. It's a shame they never got used.

I really like the unintended side effect of hearing the evolution of the music in the series over the course of the video.

I've been listening to this in the background just bc I forgot how much I LOVE the og soundtrack. However, I was watching this late last night and the theme for Duncan gets Spooked played around midnight... Chills

Love the flying Kipper, brings back so many memories. 😊
