The Missing Coach (TVSR/VHS)

--- THE "LOST" ADVENTURES PROJECT ---
Following what was my last Trainz project at the time in 2015, for awhile afterwards my graphics card failed on my older PC, as did my external drive... by that time I had retired from Trainz and given the collapse of SI3D afew years later, it would only be with various revised sites and the latest version of Trainz at the time I was able to start again once I had got the ropes of everything again... in the meantime during the 2020/21 pandemic, following the discovery of the then unseen Missing Coach pictures, I put myself to a new project over the next year and a half... "The Lost Adventures", compiling existing and edited TV Series footage to make stories that were never adapted, collaborating with various fandom members with assistance on effects.

About a year after the last episode, the reaction from the fandom was overwhelming, but overtime most Thomas fandom users failed to grasp the descripted request on sourcing edits from these versions for their own... which still has continued today.

Having lost the original master files but having edited them onto a personal VHS reel, I've decided to reinstate them as permanent VHS edited uploads in improved quality, no filters, proper VHS tracking quality, making them distinguishable, in a way, a speck of VHS interference will be easy to spot.

The titles have been redone in the familiar Cartoon Network style from the 1990s, as before I only wish at the time some edits could of been redone in addition to adding 60fps for smooth titles and that.

Effort and time (most of it COVID isolation time) was put into making these not to mention the amount of collaborations too, from Mason Dey's facemasking and Chris' visual effects.

Nice to see these recreations back online.

For those who somehow don't know [seen a few comments like that], these are reuploaded TVS recreations that Wardleton started in 2020, with redone title cards and VHS quality

It would be nice to see the film rushes of the filming of the episode, if they still exist out there somewhere in the UK.

3:14 This looks like the episode "Thomas Comes To Breakfast" Thomas and Friends season 2 when he is happy and pleased that he wouldn't need a driver anymore, since his driver joked with him

[Mr.persons]

3 videos?!? At the same time?!?? That’s rare for any YouTuber

[lukegreen]

1:22 Awesome Storytelling Berk From The Trap Door The Original Series. Xxxx 🇺🇸

[jamesleopard]

3:11 This looks like episode "Tender Engines" Thomas and Friends season 3 is with Gotdon The Big Engine who has a happy and smiling face in that episode "Tender Engines"

[jamesleopard]

3:19 I never saw Thomas The Tank Engine pulling three orange branch line coaches before in that model series before. Not only, that I usually see on the video model series, Thomas The Tank Engine, Annie and Clarabel

[BruhBlitz]

It's a shame that the tvs version for missing coaches was canceled

[jamesleopard]

4:02 This looks like the episode "Better Late Than Ever" Thomas and Friends season 2 when Thomas was angry that Bertie The Bus was late

3:33 When the coaches are backing up, which part was this? I was thinking maybe A Proud Day For James

[kkbbagain]

it's been a long time since you did a tvs adaption as an edit, and not a trainz one...

"Do not fas yourself, Thomas" is taken from "Thomas Comes to Breakfast" shortly before the Twins pull him away from the barber's house

[DeriansArchive]

Im a bit confused. I have looked at the script for the episode but the nightime sequence with the big engines plus the twins is not there. It was filmmed but not in the script. It's driving me nuts!

[jamesleopard]

I never saw "The Missing Coach" on the Thomas and Friends episode cartoon model series before, not only that I remembered these Donald and Douglas The Scottish Twin Engines episodes after the episode "Thomas, Percy and the Dragon" was over

[ryleeculla]

Looks so real but it’s the eyes that give it away

[peterglass]

It’s unknown what part of Scotland Donald and Douglas are from. They were given their nameplates and number plates to make it easier to tell them apart.

"The Missing Coach" is never narrated on the episode by Ringo Starr, George Carlin, Michael Angelis or Alec Baldwin
