EnterprisingEngine93

The Cloud Factory

I am happy to say that even with my internet being out the past few days, we got the new episode reuploaded and ready for tomorrow.

MiscMischief48 (the composer of the episode) and SirDuke95 were invaluable to improving the sound mix. If you saw the first version, I think you’ll find the narration, Proteus, and Little Barford’s dialogue to be much clearer.

I hope to get a clip...

Merry Christmas! The Cloud Factory early access

Merry Christmas to all! Here is an early access link to the new episode for all those interested.

The current plan is to release the finished story alongside the new Sudrian Stories of Terror on DECEMBER 30th. I don’t know why I keep saying January. Sorry!

However, I do plan to make some sound adjustments before then. I think the volume of the narration and some of th...

The Cloud Factory Watch Party

Do you know what? We are on Cloud 9, and that's because Enterprising Engines: The Cloud Factory is ready to rumble! As a thanks to all of the supporters on here, you'll get the chance to see if first.

On Tuesday December 23rd, 7:00 PM EST there will be a watch party for the Rock Star tier and some of the crew members on discord. Afterward, it will be an unlisted link that you can access ...

The Cloud Factory Trailer

Synopsis: After Gordon pulls a prank, Percy looks for friends in high (and low) places.

Enterprising Engines: The Cloud Factory steams onto Youtube December 2025, but y'all will see it first. It is planned to be a double-feature with Flying Scotsman Production's latest episode from Sudrian Stories of Terror.

Not to disappoint anyone, but this episode DOES NOT have a fan-made cover...

Old Warrior Adaptation

DuckGWR08 recently posted an adaptation of Season 1’s Old Warrior. It takes cues from both versions of the episode and also takes some of its own creative liberties I was really impressed by.

Enterprising Engines: Outcasts (First Look)

ArthurtheLMSEngine is a longtime collaborator and talented custom maker with an impressive arsenal of unique items at his disposal. He's made many trucks for the series, as well as a fair few Mid Sodor Characters. His channel boasts even more insane customs!

We talked about collaborating on a story for some time. Then, a pitch turned into a script, and a script turned into a weekend. If ...

Meet Father Torlach! - Someday

The Roxanne and Thin Controller’s wedding will be officiated by an Irish Catholic Priest, Father Torlach.

The American Flag in the background looks kind of epic but admittedly does not help to get those details across.

Roxanne’s family made most of the creative decisions for the wedding (provided the ceremony was rail-accessible for a select few). Her father insisted on a trad...

Blue Mountain Quarry (Someday)

Another one in the can! Short but maybe not so sweet scene at Blue Mountain Quarry for Enterprising Engines: Someday. Gravel was firm and easy to manipulate which made for some nice terrain. Poor Luke is a railway fugitive during the events of the movie.

Visionary Locomotive Works and Jolly Good Idea joined me for a nice Saturday afternoon of filming and also cheesesteaks

EE93 Ithaca Vlog (Someday 2025)

Hey there Rock Stars! I'm happy to announce that I have returned from a successful filming trip to Ithaca and Sodus Point NY. In addition to filming a handful of scenes at the Wharf, we also recorded with veteran actor Paul Hansom at Ithaca College.

I hope you enjoy the Behind the Scenes and also some of the the surprises that happened along the way.

Thank you for your support, as...

Let’s rock n roll!

Another big Someday shoot is happening this month! And thanks to SidekickJason and PercytheSmallEngine65, we’re quite close indeed to having everything we need…

Let's Rock n Roll.

Love this location as a place to film. I don't even mind how big the reeds got.

Those walls, right? I love the walls. This is the most WELSH rural NJ has ever felt.

There was a hobby shop in Porthmadog, Wales that didn't have trains, but they sure as heck had WALLS! I got 12 pieces of a dilapidated looking brick and 12 of these awesome jagged slate ones. I WISH I got more. They had ...

The Cloud Factory Progress

We. Have. The POWUUUHHHHH.

Ahem. Yes we do. I'm happy to say that progress on the Cloud Factory has been going well, and I have may gone too far in a few places, so it's on track to being completely on brand.

There wasn't a post credit scene originally, but after some ideas from Flying Scotsman Productions and some time to meet with episode writer Halfbakedhex8, we managed to writ...

The Cloud Factory Patron Shout Out!

The next episode of Enterprising Engines "The Cloud Factory" will be the first to include a patron shout-out at the beginning. I'd like to have all the names of the patrons to be written in the sky!

I don't mind reaching out to you all individually, but if you have been a paying patron and have a preferred name or credit, please let me know in the comments below! Some of you support the c...

Crash and B Roll 24 - Some Unlikely Travels

My my, what a year for surprises. Large Scale Stefanos, Thomas Minis, Gauge 1 Models, Wales, and crashes galore. We've also unearthed some older Mid Sodor footage as well.

Thomas Mini by ‪@NWMFigero‬. It is bluetooth compatible. That is where the music is coming from.

We’ll film again someday, yesterday!

While the candle has been burning on both ends for a hot minute, I couldn’t pass up the chance to have Roman’s help filming. He was kind enough to help while he had some time off from his engineering internship.

Two more scenes for Someday are in the can! (Not using the lavatory, they’re filmed!) They were tricky in some places but they were nothing a wooden railway pro like Roman ...

Proteus Comparison

As requested by SidekickJason, here is a side by side comparison of Proteus and the Mega Proteus created by Flying Scotsman Productions. The cab is open and can fit a Lego minifigure.

Proteus at Diablo Canyon

How could I not bring trains to New Mexico? Lots of incredible scenery out here.

Hank's Hustle (Classic Series Creations)

Was happy to see the latest story I wrote for the Classic Series Creations channel come out last week. Hank and Murdoch? I can't deny I enjoy the pairing quite a bit, but is it everything's it's painted to be? It's a colorful chapter of the railway's of Sodor to say the least.

I'm happy that lots of customs new and old could be seen, plus Andrew and Ryan's new faces for Arthur and Murdoc...

So the Awdry Extravaganza is coming up…

You going?

Time to hit the sauna

Filming in Utah

Some of you may remember my objective to have Self-fulfilling Prophecy Part 2: Nowhere to look like another planet. Something with locales and terrain I’ve never touched on before. The western half of the United States seemed like an excellent place to start.

And I was quite right indeed! Thanks to SidekickJason I got some terrific recommendations. In addition to getting a small scene ...

A wedding in the woods

Wish us luck homies. Filming for “Someday” has been excellent so far. Very busy! Likely two days to go. Could not have been done without the incredible ingenuity of Flying Scotsman Productions.

Time to hit the road

FlyingScotsmanProductions is crazy…

…good at what he does. Waterfall ridge WIP for Enterprising Engines mini movie!

Seth is building a waterfall.

From bathroom concept photos, to driveway construction projects…Flying Scotsman Productions is building a waterfall.

Wish us luck! We’ll be filming soon. Someday!

Who's the Boss? Diesel 10 confronts Sir Frederick Aura

Not too long before the events of Lift Bridge, Diesel 10 confronts Sir Frederick Aura about being a pawn in his mysterious aims...

Thanks to MrConductorFan using Butch as set dressing in the scene, I have had to come up with a whole story about his inclusion specifically! Thankfully, I've rather enjoyed that rabbit hole. Does this heavy recovery unit know too much?

June Group Call with the Rock Stars!

A major thank you to all the Rock Stars: JP, Taylor, Robby, Vincent, Soupy, Marie, and Nathan. I am grateful, heartened, and invigorated by your generous contributions and enthusiasm for the channel. (alright Matt put down the thesaurus...)

From early to about mid June, Seth of Flying Scotsman Productions and I will be filming in Tennessee to work on the Enterprising Engines mini-movie "S...

Weaver the Outdoorsman

Weaver, Pennsylvania born and raised, is a hunting and fishing aficionado that LOVES the outdoors. While often sporting the latest hunting apparel, he has almost never killed for sport. Friends on hunting trips have claimed he “misses” on purpose, or that he’s only there to spot wildlife through his binoculars. He enjoys these activities because they bring him closer to animals.

Whi...

Bob Brandwood

The Man. The Myth. The Legend. Can’t imagine what these videos would be without him.

We recorded for two hours today in Mr. Schmalenberg’s old classroom (the actor that used to play Edward). That made today extra special!

Wedding Planning

Lots of parts and supplies are on the way for our big shoot in June, but we’re laying down the groundwork!

In true Rob Gauld-Galliers fashion, we put a turntable on it. It’s all about the gesture, you know?
