The Train (1964) brake sound effect, in Thomas and Friends! 

He applied his brakes! (And he stopped just in time/ But it was too late!)

It’s really nice to see how the world of Thomas has a huge connection to the world of cinema from title references, music and of course the sound effects!

1:52 Edward applied his brakes, but too late, so James applied his breaks!

Once you realise how many Thomas sound effects are in TV and film, you’ll never be able to unhear them.

1:29 a perfectly cut scream from Micheal Brandon WOAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

1:35 I smell a perfectly cut scream

I miss the episodes of Thomas & Friends when they used the model train sets. They were awesome when accidents happened 🤣

1:51 these two scenes fit so good

"Is there uh, problem Mister Oliver?" "Yeah, there is!" "Woouuuooo"

Seasons 1 through 3 used old 1920's recordings used for The French Connection (1971), Chattanooga Choo Choo (1984) and the most famous, Emperor Of The North (1973). The one here used for The Train (1964) was recorded back in the 40s.

0:49 Once an engine atached to A I R was afraid of few B U L L E T S

1:02 Toad: Is there um... A problem mister Oliver? Oliver: Yeah, there is. OOOH-

2:24 edward applied his brake but too late so james applied his brake, Perfect momento

When you realize the whole show is just the producers having fun crashing toy trains.

0:10 For anyone wondering, it's a clipped wing Spitfire. Hard to tell the exact model, but it seems like a late Merlin variant.

This could literally be renamed to "perfectly cut Thomas and friends crashes"

Never thought screeching metal could sound so beautiful

1:38 *"Yea! There is!"*

Toad: is there uh... Problem wrong mister oliver? Oliver: YEAH THERE IS OHHHH--

0:26 But it was too late, disaster lay ahead!

1:14 gordon's face gets smashed by METAL

It was used in The Great Discovery when Thomas applies his brakes.

What a coincidence that the show and The Train were released only twenty years apart from each other.

Narrator: say but it's too late for the 1000th time. Plankton: ALRIGHT WE GET IT!

James was puffing smoothly INTIL a spitfire was chasing behind him! James picked up speed and SLAMED his brakes and flew into a tunnel and stopped safely in a tunnel.

1:50 he slammed on his brakes. but he stopped to quickly!

I like how after he says “he slammed on his breaks” he says “but it was too late”

0:35 sound here

1:29 Brandon: but it was too late! James: *WOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-*

UnTiL iT wAs ToO lAtE for the 1 millionth time 😫

Did you know that in the books and by extension the show, the only reason why they get put back together when they crash is because they’re all famous? Rev. Audrey’s books canonically saved the entire cast from being outmoded with the rest of Great Britain’s steam engines, and subsequently dismantled. Gordon actually had an arc where he mourns the loss of his “brothers” on the mainland.

So that’s why the “look out for the train” quote was in there

O_O dang... I did not actually know this, I used to watch so much classic model thomas and friends episodes a lot as a kid. Learning a new thing every day :D I found it highly intriguing how real train effects are used in this great series making real world connections.

Narrator: Edward applied his breaks but, it was to late .... Then James applied his breaks

"Is there a problem Mr. Oliver?" "Yeah! THERE IS!"

0:11 Thomas’ driver applied his brakes but it was too late…

Hearing it over & over again sounds like continuously scratching nails against a chalkboard 😅

fun fact:I have noticed the sound is also used in the 1970 war film "tora! tora! tora!" during a scene where a P40 (if im correct) skids across the runway during the raid scenes

Narrator: He applied his breaks as hard as he could (UK dub) James: *says nothing* (US dub) James: WOOOOOOOOAAAAAHH 1:28

the one good thing about the wrecks and trying to stop is that this really shows to how long and how heavy the trains really are and they take a long time to stop

You forgot It's Only Snow (Season 6) - This scene is where Thomas hits the water tower.

That sound effect was also heard in the world’s strongest engine as well

1:00 but it was too late, disaster lay ahead

Wow. I forgot how violent this show used to be. Awesome.

Edward applied his breaks but too late, so *james applied his breaks*

The 2 most said phrases in the show are "But it was too late!" and "Luckily, no one was hurt."

*B U T I T W A S T O O L A T E ! ! !*

that sound can be heard in every episode and seasons in t&f

Imagine a Thomas film created in the 60s

Safe Drinking Game Drink a glass of water every time the narrator was "BUT IT WAS TOO LATE."

1:31 my favorite

“And he applied his brakes as hard as he could. WOAAAAAA-!!”

You forgot James Gets a New Coat (Season 8) - This scene is where the coal flew out of the troublesome trucks landed on James for the second time.

Thomas producers really used the hell of that sound

1:11 Otherwise they would have crashed, but it was to late

I never knew that’s thanks for spotting this

Every episode that has a crash I hear “but it was too late” 💀

the sound effect from the series cam from here and I love it already

Cool!!! Multiple Trains slamming on thier Brakes!!!🚂🚂🚂

I’ve always wondered where they got that sound from. Now I know!

Yes I recognized this sound when I watched these episodes on my phone.

James saying WOAHHH got me rolling 😂

It pleases me to know that they kept using that sound effect up until season 12

Another honorable mention is in the chase scene in The French Connection. You can only barely make it out, but still noticeable.

Hearing people put those breaks on in Btwf makes me wanna jump out a window..

This sound effect is from Foley Sound Library which was made by The Hollywood Edge released in October 1999.

1:22 Top Ten Funny Crashes In Thomas And Friends Number 10:

You forgot Henry's Lucky Day (Season 11) - This scene is where Henry slids down an icy hill.

He slammed on his brakes, but he stopped too quickly! 1:17

Rest in piece everyone’s wheels

Basically a summary of the HiT era of Thomas: *"BuT iT wAs ToOoOoOoOo LaTe!!!!!"*

You forgot Toby's Triumph (Season 11) - This scene is where the red signal stopped and Henrietta bumped into Toby and all of the cakes and tea fell onto the floor.

The amount of times they pulled the braked in the corner is ridiculous. Every engine would need like 3 sets of wheels every season

They say "But it was too late!" a lot

You forgot The Great Discovery - This scene is where Thomas crashes straight through the blocked tunnel.

Wow I never thought about that

You Can Hear That Sound In The Danger Mouse Episode Danger Mouse On The Orient Express But It Has A Similar Break Sound Effect.

He applied his brakes but it was too late! Thomas crashed straight through the blocked tunnel! With a mighty splash, Thomas landed in a pool of water!

1:27 "and he applied his brakes as hard as he could" "WOOOO-"

Once you hear that sound, you know what’s gonna happen to the trains.

You forgot Fish (Season 8) - This scene is where Thomas crashes the fish trucks into Salty.

That is amazing, in fact I use this sound in my videos to

2:00 WOOOAAA-

1:29 JAMES SCREAMING PERFECT CUT.

In the great discovery when Thomas crashes into the blocked tunnel this sound can be heard too

The squeal was used in thomas yes, but the one from the earlier seasons seems to have been from a movie called "Our man Flint"

And now we need to find the Series 1 brake sounds.

I don’t know how they make it sound like it’s HD, when it’s like from 1964, and I also can’t believe they were still using it until 2008!

Great movie btw

0:12 *slammed on the brakes and screeched to halt*

"Screeched too quickly" never heard that before in a thomas and friends

My dad has this movie (the Train) o dvd. I watched it alot some years ago when i was smaller. Who cares a kid watches a ww2 movie

AWSOME video

They applied the brakes but it was too late famous final words for all these crashes

Toad:Is there a problem mr Oliver? Oliver:Yeah there is!😨 OOOOH!!!😮

The thought of other effects such as the Goofy yell for example.

All trains brakes sound like that- but true it does sound identical

Yes I do remember this
