I had a blast making this. I always loved the Busy Station/Busy Engines theme from the TV series, even when I was little watching the show. It's so simple but so nice to listen to. However, it is repetitive, hence why it doesn't usually play for very long in the show. Because of this, I decided to keep the overall feel of the original theme, repetition and all, but layering motifs of other engines' themes on top of it. Thomas, Edward, Henry, and Gordon -- they're all here.

I also had some inspiration from Sodor's No. 1's rendition of the theme, specifically in the beginning; check his one out! It’s great.

I own nothing except the mind I used to make the song and the picture. I hope you guys enjoy it about as much as I did making it!

Busy Engines

I was listening to some of Punjab's old music and stubbled across his James races with Gordon theme. I then had the marvelous idea of trying to make something with the same sense of urgency in the theme's sound and tempo. I also incorporated some elements from Carson’s “James and the Hill” theme. Thus this was born and I am quite proud of it. Thanks and enjoy! (P.S I had to reupload this because you could barely hear the backing flute.)

Some of the score to The Bright Red Mogul's "Eddie's Exploit"! This is all the music (slightly out of order) which I made for the video, including a track which ultimately went unused. Enjoy!

Eddie's Exploit - Original Score

god it seems like every post of mine was made to be a Trainz bellsound 😭

Anyway, here's another fun piece! This was my first step into a more orchestral take on the usual S3-4 style. I wanted to use the brass to make the theme sound more regal but it kind of just ended up being another submelody, which sounds good even if it isn't what I wanted.

This recomposition is free to use so long as I get credit for it!

I'm starting to lose motivation on making music…

Caledonian Scots (Donald and Douglas' Theme)

Glory to YeHoVaH who is highest for the ability to make what I do. 

Hi there! I’m Noah, a young man who is, first and foremost, a follower of Yeshua the Messiah who belongs to YeHoVaH the Most High. Consequently, it is my desire to please Him in all I do. My former name for my SoundCloud was “AMusicalExplorer”.

I have always greatly liked music since I was little and what all can be communicated through it. I’m at most a beginner with music, but I desire to explore it, and by that I mean, explore writing music, trying out different compositions of songs that have already been written (remixes or mashups, one may say), and also growing in my understanding of music (not everyone starts out a pro, of course).


A few things to bear in mind here:

1. Please no foul language on my profile.

2. Be kind to one another.

3. If you have criticism of my work, have ideas for a song, or else, you just want to communicate something to me, please do it respectfully and also patiently. I’m an infant in regards to music, and I am still learning.


 I hope my music helps you in whatever good way!

Busy Engines
