Name: Pop Goes The Diesel - Instrumental (Series 2) by S.A Music (Commissions Closed)
Duration: 16 s
Description: The infamous cover of 'Pop Goes the Weasel' used in Series 2, it's a fun little cover. Very playful sounds and very nostalgic.

Ahh yes. That onw time when we heard a high pitch Mike and Junior

"Trucks are waiting in the yard, tackling them with ease'll, 'Show the world what I can do', gaily boasts the diesel. In and out he creeps about, like a big black weasel. When he pulls the wrong trucks out, POP goes the Diesel."

I can imagine dogs barking in tune to this

Here's a 'what if' piece of music, The Storm Theme from Series 3's Percy's Promise but remixed in the style of Series 2, using the classic synth sounds.

The Storm Theme (Series 2?)

A recreation of the Series 2 variant of Thomas' Theme, which is essentially a shortened cut of the Series 1 variant with the string melody now acting as the lead instrument on the final section.

Thomas the Tank Engine's Theme (Series 2)

A hybrid of both the themes used for 'Trust Thomas' and 'Edward, Trevor & the Really Useful Party'. The second variant is the more interesting of the two, there's a low string section and some woodwinds that enter the 2nd half of the theme which makes the theme sound more grand. O'Donnell did state that Edward's Theme was inspired by a classic piece and this variant really shows that in my opinion,

Edward the Blue Engine's Theme (Series 3)

A rare theme from Series 2 which is a short variant of Trevor's Theme from Thomas and Trevor whilst he is at the harbour. This version is unique as it uses the low strings, probably to emphasise the fact that Trevor is hauling heavy loads.

Trevor's Working Theme (Series 2)

The infamous cover of 'Pop Goes the Weasel' used in Series 2, it's a fun little cover. Very playful sounds and very nostalgic.

Pop Goes The Diesel - Instrumental (Series 2)

Hey all, here's a piece I'm quite happy with.

Originally commissioned by TylerBlack5,  the premise was a triumphant pieced based in part on Henry's Danger Theme, incorporating a ditti from The World's Strongest Engine and of course, Henry's theme itself. Translating it to a major key was interesting but fun, and I like the fact that the bassline from the Danger theme worked so well for the buildup (I know it's basic but I found it kinda cool). Anyways, here's a piece I call "Henry's Triumph." I hope you all enjoy!

Composed in Acoustica Mixcraft 9 using an E-Mu Proteus/2 Orchestral Soundfont, drum samples from the Yamaha RX5 Drum Computer, and harp samples from the SC Prophet 2000 Sample Library. Original music composed by Mike O'Donnell and Junior Campbell.

The Magic in All of Us

Another one time only theme from the early series, known as Sneaky Toby. I like how they made a small theme for that sequence of Toby travelling to Thomas. The original length was perfectly fine for the screentime but if you know me by now, I like to mess with the music now and then. So I added some strings and the weird 'spooky' brass from Harold's Theme in there.

Grandpa (Extended Version)

A collaboration between Tuggie and Myself, I asked him for his MIDI's of the opening Piano of the song and I did the main part, I asked him for this for the sake of getting this done quickly, I'd like to thank him so much for that favour. This version is only short mainly because this was only done as part of a video on my channel.
