Gordon and the Big City 

You made the impossible: making Gordon goes Foreign in the TV series formula. I love this! I'm convinced that this is the best adaptation of Gordon goes Foreign so far. It's just breathtaking! Well done!

I had my eyes glued to the London engine and I'm amazed at the detail. The City of Truro model was never powered in real life. And in this adaption seeing it repurposed as the city engine, we don't see it move, and we don't see it's eyes move either. Beautifully detailed, I'm in awe.

Truly an impeccable project, it’s almost scary how dead-on you got this video to the TVS. Every bit of this was beautiful, I’m glad to see we left Gordon in good hands :)

Brilliant job on this TVS-style Gordon Goes Foreign adaptation! I was certainly taken aback by a reskin of City of Truro being used as the BCE instead of the planned modified Henry. That's one way of putting his model to good use one last time before turning it into a scrap prop!

I'm so excited for this!

Normally, I despite adaptations of Gordon Goes Foreign since it's one of those things that has been done to death, but this one actually manages to stand out from the rest. There are quite a number of things I liked while watching this, repurposing City of Truro as the Foreign Engine, having Class 40 as the mainland diesel, and the use of Crovan's Gate as a substitute for Vicarstown. I also appreciate the effort to make the video as close to an actual classic era episode as possible, down to the lighting and the 4:3 aspect ratio. Overall, I enjoyed watching this video. It manages to do a lot of things other adaptations of this story miss out on, the way it's structured into a 4 minute episode, and generally, it was well worth my time watching. Can't wait to see your future content.

This belongs in a museum! It's beautiful! First off I like the little Awdry cameo in the intro. The repurposing of City of Truro's model makes... a lot of sense. The crew definitely would've reused him, better than making him scrap. A thing I really like in this that you do is you make every setting busy. Right at the start we see the terminals at Knapford are full. Then we cut to Tidmouth Sheds and the sidings are absolutely full. You can see engines in the back shunting and talking with each other, making the world feel alive. SFX, cinematography, and lighting were all perfectly in line with season 4. And I absolutely love the close-up shot of Gordon as he proclaims he'll prove King's Cross is the head station. The shot of Gordon and the express on the viaduct should be framed. So much detail on the newspaper as well, most people would just write gibberish on something that's seen for only a few seconds lol. This whole video really did feel like an additional episode of season 4, like something that was just shelved because of some issue or another. Well done! Side note: You use Premiere in your videos right? Why not adjust the aspect ratio of the project to 1440x1080, so you get a 4:3 video? Not a big deal, just a thought I had about it.

Ohhhh, brilliant! I, too, called London "The Big City" in my version of this! Can't wait to see your take on it!

This is an incredible adaptation of Gordon Goes Foreign! You nailed the Season 4 vibe absolutely perfectly, from the lighting to the sets to even the engines' whistle sounds! I liked how you reused some of the one-off characters for this story - City of Truro w/ smoke deflectors as the Foreign Engine and D261 as the derailed express engine - both of those seem like things that the TVS crew might have done. Consider me a subscriber! :)

Good glory, this was absolutely remarkable! I got such Season 4 vibes from this video (my personal favorite season), and all the touches added in from the scenery choice, background characters, lighting, music tracks, and even little details like Gordon using Duck's whistle just tied it all up in a breathtakingly accurate package. I also loved the use of City of Truro's model for the Big City Engine, a very unique choice that feels quite fitting considering the model was never used again until Season 5 onwards as a scrap engine. Overall, this was the single best TVS adaptation of Gordon Goes Foreign I have seen yet... I don't know how I haven't found you yet, but you just got another happy subscriber! (:

my goodness suddy, there’s a lot of people working behind the team on this one. It’s a surprise to see Carson tuning the track this time around but a welcome one nonetheless, though IvattBlue is just as talented in his own way! SR has come stunning with the new Gordon model we haven’t really seen a story focused on the mainline or beyond sodor from you yet so this will be a real treat, hope you’re keeping well these days !!

now you listen to me Suddery Station Master I’ve seen some GGF adaptations in my time but this one honestly takes the cake. I loved how you made it how it actually could have been done. The repurposed City of Truro and all, most clever. Carson’s done a lovely job with the soundtrack too, I look forward to seeing more from you !!

the attention to detail about everything, from the routes, models, the little things (like the newspaper article), narration, lighting and just everything just blows me away with each new video you produce and they just keeps getting better and better! keep up the amazing work as always!

This is a wonderfully faithful adaptation of this story in the style of the TVS. It’s done exactly the way they would have done it. And I loved the detail of using different models for the closeup shots of people than distant shots. Splendid work!

Every adaptation of this story I've seen thus far has just been a repeat of the RWS story. But this actually feels like a classis series episode. Please tell me you plan to do more in the future.

I know I already commented on the video, but I just can't get over how beautiful that Season 4-style Big City Engine is! I saw the BTS pics on Twitter as well! A clever nod to Queen - Breakthru with the livery and the face and smoke deflectors actually being separate props. I had a feeling that was what really happened, which is a shame because I would've loved to see him thundering down the line. I could see the merchandise of this BCE if he was actually a thing! He'd probably have more than what the RWS BCE had!

Felt very Season 4; super impressive! Not to be confused with "Gordon and the Bigg City" where he encounters a certain port while touring America... (with all the TUGS stuff floating around, I couldn't resist)

This replicates a Thomas episode from the Model Series era so well. It almost felt like I just watched a lost episode.

Nice new model of a visiting engine. Could've sworn it was gonna be Reginald or someone. Also, love the papers. Ooh... Bowler got owned! Must've been silently mocking Gordon for all his failed plans. LOL

It’s incredible how this feels like it’s plucked straight out of season 4 or 5! Great job Suddery!

Amazing adaptation! Very much captured the season 4 style! I love this "What if" genre of videos, and have done similar things myself! I noticed, unlike what is said to have been planned for this episode- Henry being modified- you went with City of Truro being modified instead. Given what they did for Smudger, that does seem to be what they would have done for The Big City Engine.

Interesting take on a famously adapted story; really captured the feel of Season 4 with this. :)

You know, the more I think about it, Gordon Goes Foreign makes a much better season 4 episode than whatever was accomplished in season 2 or 3. More sets, more characters, and more flexibility to work in a story. Splendid work man!

Alright I’m gonna be the one to address the elephant in the room, Gordon was going the wrong way to the big city. All jokes aside this was amazing the music, visuals, and all these videos are just some breathtaking and inspirational. keep up the great work.

Astounding as always! Your eye for direction is next to none. The fact that you take key locations from Series 4 and neatly incorporate them into your work here, is effortless. I could gush over this more, but instead I'm going to sit and enjoy watching it again. Well done mate! :D

This was impressive!

Mate, this is just outstanding! It genuinely feels like I’m watching an episode from Series 4!

I love how it feels like a TVS episode. Grand job! 👍🏻👍🏻

Nice interpretation of Gordon Goes Foreign. I can see this being what they might have done if they went ahead and adapted the story for the TV series.

The little detail of Wilbert Awdry on the bridge in the intro is just awesome.

That black engine is similar to the one from Queen's "Breakthru" where it has the same livery.

amazing work man! you're heavily under-rated man, keep doing what you do man! 🍻

Oh yeah! Another video with that spectacular new Gordon model!

That was a great way of doing Gordon goes foreign in a season 4 style! 😉👍🏻 I love the way you use Class 40 as the engine that got derailed. Great way of using an existing character! 👍🏻

Your videos are always so splendid.

Bro you're really nailing it with the classic series vibe

Everything about this adaptation is so well done, the Iconic intro is actually done decently well(only complaint is the camera angle at ffarquhar station not looking right) the shots and dynamic angles used look straight off series 3 and 4 and lastly the music cues not only fit their required scene but also capture the series 4 style of music which is such a delight to hear.

I absolutely love that you were able to recreate this story almost scarily dead-on with only slight differences. I love it!

I love how this is done in an almost series 4 style and works perfectly

Well done indeed. This was an amazing adaptation

Thomas fans be like if matel don’t care we’ll make our own episodes ourself. Well done

I love this! The duck Gordon and bce joke is always great! Especially including him being sad it was none of the ones from the argument lol

You never fail to impress. I love the season 4 vibe this has and don’t even get me started on how cool your take on the foreign engine is so creative. Fantastic work as always. I really need to start coming to premiers

Nicely done! I really enjoyed seeing Reverend Awdry on the bridge in the intro!

That shot of Gordon on the viaduct would make David Mitton proud

If Gordon Goes Foreign got it's chance to be part of a season 2 episode.

I like that you made it a season 4 style adaptation of Gordon goes foreign at the normal length of a classic series episode and using d261 as the engine to take the express to the big city and who got derailed and made a fool of himself again.

Marvellous episode, I love it! This one is part of the Series 4 episode tv style and the mentioned about the Big City from Thomas and the Special Letter, this one is based from the Railway Series episode, Gordon Goes Foreign was cancelled for the Series 2 planned, can't wait for your next episode soon!

You squeezed it into the 4:30 Runtime of the Classic Series!

I was confused at first as to why the city engine was a bizarrely edited City of Truro instead of his appearance in the book, but in hindsight, it does sound like something the original crew would do in order to cut costs, much like they did with other models of one-time characters. Regardless, this was an impressive adaptation! It's shocking how much attention to detail to the TV style you've managed to capture. Your videos are the perfect manuscripts for real episodes.

It's like the original series of Thomas the Tank engine has returned. These are beautifully put together. I love watching these and I'm officially signing onto your channel because of how good there are.

This would fit beautifully into Season 4 (could also fit well into Season 5). I like how you used Crovan's Gate as the main line terminus, this is something that could have actually worked for the TVS model canon because it looks like a station that could be a terminus, and it would really sell Vicarstown as being the 'far away part of the Island where only the diesels work'. I imagine that regular mainline passenger trains end at Crovan's Gate, while the section between there and Vicarstown is for goods, with occasional special passenger trains running (like the one from Bowled Out, which Duck and Stepney took to Crovan's Gate, and Gordon took the rest of the train further, possibly to Barrow. Anyway, just my theory that stemmed from this excellent video, great job once again.

My goodness the TVS style editing was impeccable.

I like it how city of truro and d261 returned.

Always thought it was a nice nod to the engines' heritage that they would know London by their own railway's station there. Given the place's importance and how many railways went there, the number of stations is quite impressive, even more so when you include all the suburbs and the greater area of the city. Gordon's of LNER pedigree, so naturally that's King's Cross (I wonder if he ever noticed a scarlet train coming and going from a hidden platform there?) Duck is Great Western, so that's Paddington. The visitor was from the LMS, so that would be Euston, St. Pancras was an LMS terminal too.

You make the best videos dude it’s unreal

God I *CANNOT* get over how visually stunning your videos are. If I didn't know here, I'd say these were real episodes from the show.

This looks...incredible! Simply incredible! Keep up the awesome work! 👍

Amazing work as always, an interesting take on the engine that Duck and Gordon argue with. I like it. Keep up the good work.

Grand job. I like the method of reusing set-pieces with different camera angles to make it look like Gordon wasn't where he actually was, if you follow my meaning.

Very impressive within the RWS/S4 style on this episode.

Very nice work!! Feels just like watching a season 4 episode. Well done, you've gain a new sub!!

It looks just like a Season 4 episode that was never released! Stunning visuals, as always

I absolutely love the series 5 feel of this, well done!

This episode would be like "Gordon Goes Foreign" on "The Eight Famous Engines" story

This seems like a Season 4 version of Gordon Goes Foreign! Well done!

2:25-2:35 James and Class 40 being friendly? This is a miracle.

Another fantastic video suddery! I like how you used City of Truro as the foreign engine, keep up the good work!

Not a bad addaption this is more of a re-watched for me as old my channel was deleted and migrated to this new account can't wait to see your future project soon!

2:41 Let this be a lesson to you Gordon: Leave the tricks to the little engines. They have more knowledge of that than you do.

3:36 I like the custom touch to Gordon's theme there, it reminds me of both his season 5 theme and Duck's adventure theme (more or less).

this is what i fell the story would have been like if it had been made into an episode during season 4

This was real great truly can’t wait to see what else you got in store.

Honestly, I am amazed at the modified City of Truro. When I really think about it, if the show went a different way, then City of Truro's model would've likely been used as the Big City Engine.

I’ve always wanted to see this episode

Imagine if Very Old Engines stories Crosspatch and Bucking Bronco were adapted into one. It would give more background to Skarloey and Rheneas.

Gordon and the big city alternitive title: Gordon goes forgen but re-written

Gordon: It's king's cross! Big city engine: It's euston! Duck: It's paddington! Me: Oh my God! Who the heck cares?

Ha! Treasure Planet at the end! Brilliant!

This was fabulous

Thia is SO GOODI hope more people see this!

Gordon literally traveled over a hundred miles from home just to prove someone wrong lol

Amazing work!

This feels just like a Season 4 episode

Really has that S4 vibe to it. I like it. 👌❤️

To be honest I watch this in 240p just to make it feel like an old episode from my childhood

I love the intro instant nostalgia

Feels like Gordon Goes Foreign from the Railway Series all over again!

Now this.... does put a smile on my face :)

I usually avoid watching stuff made by fans because the visual quality is usually quite poor and it hurts the viewing experience. This however, was very well done technically and felt quite authentic. The models and the scenery looked great and the whole thing felt more like a real episode.

gave me season 4 vibes very gud

hey that's me

Gordon and the Bigg City

I can imagine a US narration being produced.

1:09 *Southern Railway* engine: no, it's Victoria

Never got why the TVS was always reluctant to make Sodor explicitly off the coast of England. Was it an international thing come Series 3 and Shining Time?

Aww yes good to see they finally adapted that for tv took them long e.......phone rings excuse me Yes hello they..... but....wait.... I see.....I'll tell um Well done sir that was quite the remake felt real enough for me for sure

Gordon's Theme S4 & S5

What a lovely adaption! Who did the reskin/model of City of Truro?
