Country Tram in the Big City

Published 2023-12-17
I always loved this moment between Thomas and Toby in Signals Crossed, but I've never been able to get over their voices. Thomas is high pitched like spongebob and Toby sounds wimpy. The dialogue and story are brilliant, I just aged up the voices to better reflect the characters as I see them. This is basically what is happening in my head every time I watch the CGI series lol.

    You gotta love how a simple change in voice direction can turn one of the most hated episodes of season 18 into a good one.

    The fact you didn't you didn't change a single line of dialogue just shows your brilliance in being a versatile voice actor. This has such a nice tone and the emotions feel way more genuine! Splendid work Lemmy!
  • I adore this episode so much, and those moments where Thomas can be the supportive one to an elder is so cute to see, especially elevated with Henrietta’s input in the case of Toby.
  • Funnily enough, this scene greatly matches Toby's character arc. Considering he's only worked at the docks of southern England, and then later his old branchline, Toby would never have been to any of the big cities like London, Brighton, or Southampton. It kind of bugs me, that the TV series used Knapford as the terminus, but I don't think this scene would have worked with Tidmouth. It's too far away from the Ffarquhar branch. The aged up voices really work well! It feels a bit like something out of the RWS.

    I liked how you snuck in extra details when the camera cut to another character, like East Anglia or the Flora refrence

    Now I want to see the entire episode redubbed. The voices feel spot on, and the edits when new dialog was added are so seamless I didn't notice they were out of place until someone else pointed it out. Please do more of these, the fandom would love it!
  • @TankEngineMedia
    I think you captured everything about Toby in this one scene perfectly! I also like the references to Flora and East Anglia which is always nice

    I love this scene too, of Thomas helping Toby out with Knapford junction signals. And I love how you age their voices πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ».

    This voiceover work sounds amazing!!! Lovely work!!!
  • S17 has mostly been a good season for me. Only this episode is my least favorite from S18 since Toby has been through Knapford Junction millions of times with nothing to worry about. Maybe if this took place in the first season it would work. From what you described about Thomas I always saw his character as SpongeBob because hes a mix of both mature and often naive and not being the sharpest crayon in the box. Same with Percy, James and Diesel as Patrick, Squidward and Plankton.

    I wouldn’t dislike this episode so much if it wasn’t for the fact that we’ve seen Toby go through Knapford hundreds of times in the TV series without issue, so this just feels like bs. Like the voice overs thoughπŸ‘
  • @ryleeculla5570
    Toby has been to knaford several times by the way knaford was the junction for Thomas branch line and tibmoth was the big station
  • Lemmy stay up all night and redub the entirety of the CGI series 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎πŸ’ͺπŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ’ͺπŸ”₯πŸ’ͺ
  • 1:31 Wait. Thomas just said he met two steam trams. Who is he talking about? I don't recall Thomas meeting any other J 70 trams in the books
