Finally got round to listening to this and I will say I really liked what I heard. You've got a very nice storytelling voice and the different voices you did for the characters such as James, Gordon, TFC and others were really natural and fitting. The sound design and music for this was well composed too. Do you plan to make any more audio stories like this in the future Joe?

Excellent job Joe, the music, the narration, very good work! Can't wait to see more audiobooks from you!

If you ever do more of these, you should start with "Duck and the Diesel Engine".

I'm really proud this one, but it took a long time to make.  When I saw how long the video was, I got excited.  When I watched the draft video, I got VERY excited.  Fantastic Mr. M did a marvelous job of editing the video and it gave me lots of room to work with!  At first I tried to write a whole new main theme, with absolutely no success.  After several attempts, I just decided to jump in and go for it, to great success!  This is some of my best work, I think.

And here it is.  The theme that came so naturally except when I was actually looking for it.  It ended up being an ABACA format, but I was not able to get that particular line up to actually work.  This is just ABA format, with Henry's theme in there.  I love the Henry bits.  Also, this is my first time using marimba!  It sounds like Lion King toward the end there.

Henry's Hike (Original Soundtrack)

Hiking to Killdane - 15. Henry's Hike (OST)

Same track, minus the cassette tape effects. See the other version for more details.

The Chill Kipper (No Cassette FX)

PART ONE OF TWO.

James' disdain for goods trains gets the better of him on a Main Line run, leading to all sorts of confusion.

------------

After doing 'DAISY DOES IT BETTER' a few weeks back, I felt compelled to write my first original TTTE story - James has always been one of my favourite characters from the series; this story is intended as a tribute to his best appearances across the Awdry books, Allcroft/Mitton and Brenner eras of the series.

Enjoy.

Joe.

---------------

While a very faithful adaptation, I have worked to fuse elements of the TV Versions of the Series 2 episodes adapted from 'Break Van' and 'The Deputation' AND the original book itself - whilst also injecting my own DNA into some of the dialogue featured.

The only music I didn't compose specifically for the audiobook was, of course, the Classic Thomas theme: still one of my favourite bits of music period, and I'm honoured to include it in my work here.

Enjoy. Feedback welcome in the comments below.

Stay safe folks.
