I’ve been thinking recently, and I’ve realized that one of my issues with the Steam Team is the name itself.

Like, on its own it’s fine. A little silly, but otherwise fine. But when you put it into context with the world of Thomas & Friends, it comes off as vague since there are so many steam engines on Sodor.

If I had no knowledge of Thomas whatsoever and you told me the main characters of the show are called the Steam Team, my first thought would be that it’s either because they’re the last, the majority, or the only steam engines on the railway. But if you showed me a picture of every standard gauge engine and told me to pick out the eight main characters, I could maybe pick out Thomas and Percy while wondering why they’re called the Steam Team to begin with.

And like, if the series took place on a post dieselized Sodor and Thomas and the other seven (Other nine? Ten? Does Stanley count as a former member since he was in the song that one time?) were preserved in the Earl’s railway museum or something, I’d be into the Steam Team.

I was originally going to dump Season 12 but I'll be leaving that as its own post. I love these two so much. Really wish we'd gotten more of these two interacting in CGI. :'D A good chunk of these images are upscaled. (And by upscaled, I mean I used Krita to resize cropped images.)

Thomas the Tank Engine series 3 UK VHS release observations

Following on from previous posts covering Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends series 1 and 2 VHS releases, I thought I'd cover series 3's releases.

Compared to the first two series, which were both produced in a single block of 26 episodes, series 3 was filmed in two blocks; series 3A, which comprised of the first 16 episodes (A Scarf for Percy to Edward, Trevor & the Really Useful Party), and series 3B, comprising the remaining 10 episodes (Buzz, Buzz to Thomas & Percy's Christmas Adventure). The reason for this split production was likely to met a deadline for American TV networks, as TTTE was being made for international audiences by that time. Series 3A was filmed in 1991 and it was decided to wait until all 26 episodes were ready before broadcasting on television. Instead, the 16 episodes of series 3A were released direct to video on the 11th of November 1991, with two video releases containing eight episodes each; Time for Trouble & Other Stories, containing A Scarf for Percy to Diesel Does it Again and Trust Thomas & Other Stories, containing Henry's Forest to Edward, Trevor & the Really Useful Party. These two releases were the first to feature this cover design, designed by Britten Ellis McKean, and they featured the so-called "early narrations", which were Michael Angelis' first narrations for the series. These early narrations differ from the later televised versions of the episode in that Angelis' narration is considerably softer and the episodes often lack music cues heard in the televised versions. Incidentally, the cover image of Time for Trouble & Other Stories is a deleted scene from Thomas, Percy & the Dragon, while the cover image of Trust Thomas & Other Stories comes from Trust Thomas.

Series 3B was filmed in early 1992 and broadcasting of the whole series on television began with A Scarf for Percy on the 25th of February that year. Once again, the episodes were broadcast on CITV, though they seemed to alternate between single episode broadcasts and double-bills. Prior to the CITV broadcasts, the 16 episodes of series 3A had their narrations re-recorded, with Angelis now sounding considerably more enthusiastic and the missing music cues added. The Video Collection decided to re-release the two VHS releases with the updated narrations and so Time for Trouble & Other Stories and Trust Thomas & Other Stories were both reissued on the 25th of May 1992, both now featuring the later narrations for the episodes. The re-release of Trust Thomas & Other Stories can be readily distinguished from the early release by the addition of an "as seen on ITV" label on the cover. Strangely, this distinction was not applied to Time for Trouble & Other Stories, so the re-release shares the same cover as the early release. I had the later release of Trust Thomas & Other Stories and it was one of my favourite videos when I was little.

Unlike series 3A, the 10 episodes of series 3B were broadcast on television first, with no early narration variants. The broadcast of series on CITV concluded with Thomas & Percy's Christmas Adventure on the 14th of July 1992. The 10 episodes of series 3B received a home video release two months later on the 14th of September, being released on Escape & Other Stories. It's worth noting that this video was released on the same day as the re-releases of series 2 mentioned in my series 2 post. Compared to the other two series 3 videos, Escape & Other Stories is the only one of the three to not feature an image on the cover that's from an episode on the video, as the image of Thomas is taken from Trust Thomas. A final note before moving on, all three series 3 releases were reissued on the 22nd of November 1993 with the addition of a promo at the beginning for various children's videos narrated by Ace herself, Sophie Aldred, though the covers remained the same.

As mentioned in the series 2 video post, The Video Collection released Ghost Train & Other Stories/Time for Trouble & Other Stories on the 29th of May 1995. This was a compilation of Time for Trouble & Other Stories and the 1992 series 2 re-release Ghost Train & Other Stories. The packaging for the video is misleading as it claims that Ghost Train & Other Stories comes first on the video, but in actuality, Time for Trouble & Other Stories comes first. Also worth noting that during this period, The Video Collection/VCI releases numerous compilation videos combining episodes from all series of TTTE. Series 3 featured quite prominently on many of those videos, but they're a story for another post. 1995 also saw The Video Collection rebrand as VCI, so all subsequent videos come under the VCI name.

In 1998, VCI released all of series 1 in one VHS boxset and series 2 followed suit in 1999. Continuing this trend, VCI released Thomas & Friends: The Complete 3rd Series on the 29th of May 2000. This was a a two-video box set containing all 26 episodes of series 3. The first tape contained the first 13 episodes (A Scarf for Percy to Trust Thomas), while the second tape contained the remaining 13 episodes (Mavis to Thomas & Percy's Christmas Adventure).

On the 6th of November 2000, VCI decided to re-release Time for Trouble & Other Stories. Quite why they did this I don't know, but the festive cover design causes me to think that it might've been intended as a Christmas stocking filler. The new cover image comes from Thomas Gets Bumped.

On the 3rd of September 2001, VCI re-released Escape & Other Stories and on the 5th of November, they re-released Time for Trouble & Other Stories yet again. Quite why this was done I don't know. These re-releases share the same cover images as their original 1991/92 releases, but with a new cover design. The episodes remained the same as before. These would be the last VHS releases of series 3. Series 3 would receive it's first DVD release in 2004 and would be released again in 2010 and 2012.

That concludes my look at Thomas the Tank & Friends series 3 UK VHS releases. Not as simple as series 2, but not as complex as series 1. Series 4 is where it gets very complex to explain.

I've recently started cleaning up some of the oneshots that I've written here (ones based on your prompts), and I've started posting them on both fanfiction.net and AO3.

There's only two chapters, but I do plan on adding the rest soon. It'll probably be a slow process, so don't expect imediate updates. Hope you enjoy!
