A quick and easy one here, just adding the prelude, altering the sound of the lead and adding additional strings and the clarinet playing Duck's motif, and voila. Henry's theme from Fish! Hope y'all enjoy!

Henry the Green Engine's Theme - Season 4 (Full Mix)

Part three of my Little Old Twins OST. I'm thankful for the chance to redo  the Skarloey Railway theme and am so happy with how it turned out. Also included is a TTTE S4-esque take on the main theme from "Railway with a Heart of Gold," with a harp lead and strings backing.

The Television Train, Three Cheers For Skarloey, And Talyllyn - Little Old Twins OST

I decided to make a whole new recreation of the Skarloey Railway Theme when I did the soundtrack for Callum's "Little Old Twins" adaptation, and here it is in full. Been experimenting with EQ a lot recently and I feel like I've really nailed the S4 sound. Hope you enjoy!

The Skarloey Railway - Season 4 (Percussion Mix)

Now for my favorite sing along, Don't Judge a Book By its Cover. This one's always been my favorite, between the message and the composition (love the "tick-tock" percussion). It was always one that I was apprehensive to recreate until recently, and I am very happy with the results. More songs coming soon, but in the meantime, enjoy this one!

Next Sing Along Stop - Toby!

This was one that I did in my earlier days on here, and I was eager to do it once again but better. I love the brass in this so much, makes it sound very grand, which IMO Toby deserves. Got a few more sing alongs to share after this, so stay tuned, For now, enjoy!

Toby - Instrumental Recreation

Another redo from days long ago, Let's Have a Race! This was actually the second ever sing along I posted on here, but it was lost to time when I deleted it after a while. Now I present you an all new take that is here to stay. My favorite things about this song are the piano part (especially that gentle opening) and the drum track. Tomorrow I might take a quick day-long break from uploading sing along instrumentals but as I said I have a few more to share, so stay tuned. For now, enjoy!

Another one, a new one for my page, He's a Really Useful Engine! Always loved this one as kid, and massively preferred this version over the TATMRR one (Though as a kid I had know idea why). Not to say Hummie Mann's isn't good, but you can't beat the original. Enjoy!

He's A Really Useful Engine - Instrumental Recreation

Back with another sing along instrumental! I know I did Rules and Regulations relatively recently (late 2018) but I thought it could use a do-over. I reused Carson's guitar part from the initial recreation but in future we might update it. Anyways, just two more left from the original batch of songs, so stay tuned. Till then, enjoy!

Rules And Regulations - Instrumental Recreation Redone (Feat. Carson's Music Shop)

Here's the penultimate sing along from the 1991 batch, the Island Song! This one's always been one I loved, so majestic and grand. I attempted this many years ago but ultimately never finished it. Now I have finished it and am proud to share it with you. I know I have one more song left, and it's gonna be a minute due to IRL stuff but I haven't forgotten about it. Stay tuned! For now, enjoy this instrumental recreation of The Island Song!

Another track I've neglected to finish and upload, Duck's S3 Theme. Love this variation, definitely one of the most unique sounding leads in this era of Thomas music (combination of Flute, Piccolo, Trumpet, Bigg Brass and high strings), and all around is such a feel-good piece. Hope you all enjoy!

Duck The Great Western Engine's Theme (Two Variations) - Season 3

Here's another theme that I've been sitting on (get ready for a lot of those lol), Percy's Crash/Danger theme from A Scarf For Percy. Before anyone asks, yes, I plan on doing the other variations of this theme. For now, enjoy this version!

Percy's Crash Theme, Scarf Variation - Season 3

At long last, I present to you the final  1991 sing along, "That's What Friends are For." I wasn't going to do this one at first because I don't hate my first recreation of it, but I decided that it deserved a do-over anyway. Glad to finally have all of the first batch of sing along songs done from Thomas. Perhaps I should do the Season 5 ones next...

Anyways, please enjoy!

That's What Friends Are For - Sing Along Instrumental

I really liked the version from "You Can't Win", so I used it as the inspiration for this. I'm honestly shocked they did not make a proper season 4 version for all those shots on the NG viaduct or mountains.

The Viadut Theme (Season 4 Remix)

I used to be a rose.
A beauty for some.
holding me close,
but one by one, 
the leaves fell upon,
Now still, I have my thorns.
Still, I am a rose.

One of my favorites from Season 3, Duck's Adventure/chase theme. This theme was never heard in full like this, as the prelude was cut in Bulgy and faded in from in All At Sea. The prelude was only heard in the S4 episode, Special Funnel. The strings in this go way harder than they need to, and I had a lot of fun recreating them, as well as the theme as a whole. I hope you enjoy!
