Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover (Cover By HH)

I beleive this was the first time it was used in Series 2, it's more or less just an extension of the Series 1 version. But the trumpet does play in the higher register at the end if you listen super closely which sounds weird to me, but it is what it is lol.

The Runaway Theme - Old Iron (Series 2)

An original piece created for an original character created by @SeasideSenty. This is Fury, a LMS High Pressure Experimental Locomtive. He's known to be hot headed, grumpy and passive aggressive. So when given a bio like that, first thing is make the music in a minor key and give it some kind of attitude. 

At first there was an idea suggested that it would be a remix of Champion's Theme from 'Bull's Eye's' but I thought something a bit more grand would suit him more given his size but then I would to give him something that might be similar to Diesel's S6 Theme but with a bit more of a tango vibe (going back to the Champion reference) and then outcomes something that will remind you of 'Come Dine with Me', for my UK fans lol.

Fury the High Pressure Engine's Theme

Many of you will know Mainland Studios, the guy that creates very faithful content to the original Thomas series (especially his Series 2 videos and CGI renders!). He has an upcoming story about number '98462', an engine many of you RWS heads will know as one of the original 'bigger' engines that would berate poor old Edward before he was let out again. Anyway, he's a pretty spiteful engine so I thought it would be suiting to give him a 'lurking' theme, he reminds me of some sort of a snivelling sidekick to Gordon.

98462's Theme

The mix of Gordon's Theme as heard in the Series 3 episode 'Time for Trouble'. However, the official one was only the second half of this theme so I decided to extend it to the length of the original Series 1 version.

Gordon The Big Express Engine's Theme (Series 3- Time For Trouble)

Thomas' Theme in Series 5 is a rather nice variation, it feels as if the music has matured with the series and the character as it takes a more classical approach compare to it's more upbeat style in previous arrangements. This mix has the classic bridge section incorporated into the S5 mix to give it the feel of a full extension of Thomas' Theme from that season.

Thomas the Tank Engine's Theme - Extended (Series 5)

An extended mix of Edward's Original Season 1 Theme.

Original Music by Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell

Edward The Blue Engine's Theme - Extended (Series 1)

ETAL James

Without the Lead, James' 2nd Theme Sound pritty Good. The SynthString are probably one of the best Instrument from all Jupiter Synths.

Hopy You Enjoy.

James' 2nd Theme Extended V3(No Lead)

Here's the third Version of James' 2nd Theme Extended.

James' Theme Extended is one of my very first Themes I've done since I earned my new Keyboard. Now it was over one and a half Year age since I made the first two Versions 
Here's the second Verson of the Theme:

I always liked the Theme in the early Days. 

Like I said in Edward's Hurry Theme, I want to re-do some of my oldest Theme. I totaly LOVE how this Theme turned out. It sounds so simular to the original TV Series Version. Maby even accurate.

And now it's here for you all to Enjoy.
Hopy You like it.
