The Trainee Trio's visit on The Island Of Sodor took an unwelcome turn of events after a lazy signalman's negligence led poor Brewster to a head-on collision with Thomas The Tank Engine. Although Thomas' coaches Annie and Clarabel were thankfully empty, the damage done was quite horrendous. This will be an awkward story to tell Wilson and Koko once they're back on the rails...

Last year I came across one of CalleyFan's old tweets of his HO scale layout and I just had to draw this scene! XD

Henry The Green Engine's 'Full Theme' (Series 1) - REMASTERED

Can we all agree this is one of the best theme songs out there?! Like its one or my favorite

[tiffanypandafox]

To dip my toes in Thomas the Tank Engine here for a bit. I liked the HiT era theme season 8-12 theme song. Yeah the og is better but as a younger fan (like I’m not 21 lol) it’s what I grew up on

Musical Musings - TTTE edition, Part 2

ALRIGHT!

My first musical analysis post has been getting a LOT of attention in the past few days or so. So first off, thank you for the love everyone, that was one of my favourite posts to make (besides the crackhead Gordon and Henry shitpost and my "Emily in the middle" rant). Second, since it appears that people like this sorta thing, I figured I'd share a couple more things that I've noticed, one of which I didn't put in the first post cause I figured people had already  noticed it so it didn't need to be said. But I think I'll put it in anyways, just because. So let's get into it!

In pt. 1, I talked about the fact that Henry's theme has an occurrence of "3," in that each of the 4 beats in a bar was a triplet, and how Henry is the number 3 engine. Well, I was listening to his theme again and found two more occurrences of "3" in the introductory bars of the theme. For reference, I am talking about this part:

 Each bar has the following rhythm:

Now, the first occurrence of 3 comes from the fact that the first 3 beats have the same rhythm, as shown in the above image. The second occurrence of 3 comes from the fact that the last beat of the bar is a triplet. 3 notes. Tack on the first occurrence of 3 from the first post, and you're 3 for 3 for NWR no. 3. HMMM........

2. Continuing with the subject of Henry's theme, this observation has probably already been made several times over, but I figured I'd put it in to continue the "Henry's theme" trend. If you take a listen to Henry's sad theme, you'll notice that its repeating motif is part of Henry's main theme in a different, minor, key with a different rhythm and at a slower tempo.

Take a listen.

The opening fragment of Henry's main theme:

The main motif of Henry's sad theme:

And in sheet music:

Henry's theme (Eb major):

Henry's sad theme (B minor):

The numbers indicate the note's position within its scale. As you can see, both themes share the same note pattern. To get Henry's sad theme, you'd transpose the theme down a diminished 4th (i.e, move the notes down by this interval) to B major, and then adjust the D# and G# in the resulting melody to D natural and G natural to fit within the B minor scale so that it sounds sad. Nice job, Mike & Junior, very clever.

Just in case anyone is confused, the notes for the B major & minor scales are shown below:

3. Donald and Douglas' CGI whistles are the notes of C and A respectively. These notes are related in a couple of ways. The first/lowest note on a standard 88-key piano is an A, and the last/highest note is a C. Given the twins' original BR numbers (57646 & 57647 respectively), it appears that Douglas is the younger of the two, so their whistle notes make sense in this context. Additionally, as mentioned in pt. 1, the keys of C major and A minor are related in that they share a key signature of no accidentals (ie, no sharps, flats, double sharps or double flats, yes those last two exist and they gave me hell as a kid). Thus, the whistle notes would make sense in this context.

You'll often see modulation from either C major to A minor or vice versa in classical music. Two contrasting, yet complimentary keys with their own characters and personalities which work well together. Just like Donald and Douglas.

4. I was rewatching some of the season 7 episodes which have Arthur in them. And I think I kinda forgot how fucking huge this guy is. I also noticed just how low his whistle is in comparison to the other tank engines, perhaps emphasizing his bigger size and his more serious attitude in comparison to them.

Whew, this was a long post. I hope you guys enjoy this post as much as you did the last one.

Ngl I'm getting really bored of seeing every character people dislike reduced to "flop" in every single edit ever. Also if I have to see one more fucking edit to Ayesha Erotica or some other girlboss cunt song, I'm gonna fucking lose it YOU'RE NOT THINKING CREA-TIV-LY

People say autism is just really liking trains and having autism

This is only semi true (for me)

I also like making velociraptor noises, music, trains, dinosaurs, and pretending to be a 19th century mysterious regency man who's heir to a large estate and just sits and a room and paints and people fawn over me because I'm so "mysterious, which means he must be very pretty and wealthy " and then when they talk to me their like "wow this dude really likes birds" and then five minutes later they die of some illness

I still can’t get over how, of all musical soundtracks, how the THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE SOUNDTRACK, FROM A CHILDREN’S SHOW PRODUCED IN 1983, LITERALLY OBLITERATES ANY AND ALL FORMS OF TV OR FILM SCORES AND JUST CONTINUOUSLY HOTS YOU WITH BANGER AFTER BANGER
