SODOR ISLAND 3D PATREON SERIES

Thomas & Friends 'Series 7' (partially found original music of American dub of British children's TV series mid 2000s).

Thomas & Friends: Day of the Diesels (lost original cut of direct-to-DVD film existence unconfirmed 2011).

Thomas & Friends 'Jack Jumps In' (found Alec Baldwin narration of British children's TV series episode 2002).

Mitton never elaborated on these claims before his passing in 2008, and it is currently unknown if the stills he was referring to were among those leaked by fans years after the fact. Additionally, David Mitton (co-writer, co-producer, and co-director of the first seven series of TTTE&F) claimed in an interview with Sodor Island Fansite that he was in possession of numerous colour stills from the episode taken during its shooting process (as shot by Terry Permane). It is stated on the Thomas the Tank Engine Wikia that Britt Allcroft's (currently unidentified) nephew once claimed to own footage from the episode, but neither the claim of the Wikia or the alleged claim of the nephew have been confirmed true. Following the cancellation, numerous clips were placed into other episodes from the series in order to save both time and money, with 'Missing Coach' clips being known to have been used in the episodes 'Break Van', 'Better Late than Never' and 'Saved From Scrap'.īeyond the footage used in other episodes, what footage was filmed of 'The Missing Coach' has never been released, with the closest thing being a large amount of stills released through promotional material or leaked by fans of the series. Donald and Douglas' official series debut took place in the later series 2 episode 'Break Van', in which they were hurriedly introduced through a short piece of opening dialogue. Halfway through the episode's production, after filming of the episode was completed, as shown through the stills by Terry Permane, Britt Allcroft (creator of the Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends TV series) decided that it was somewhat lacking in action and that the plot was a bit too complex for children to comprehend as such, the episode was cancelled outright, instead being replaced by an entirely different episode (which episode this is is currently unknown).

SODOR ISLAND 3D PATREON DRIVER

Douglas and his driver, after realising that Douglas is, in fact, the extra, unneeded engine and after mistakenly misplacing Thomas' Special Coach, prompting complaints from passengers (Douglas fearing that his error would give the Fat Controller more reason to get rid of him), hatch a plan with Donald and his driver to switch tenders (on which their respective numbers had been painted), effectively swapping identities and giving Douglas a chance to temporarily avoid being scolded by the Fat Controller (who ultimately decides to keep both engines, but only after uncovering their charade, and after a few other incidents involving a signal box, a break van and Percy (the No.6 engine of the NWR) being used as a Deputation to speak to Sir Topham Hatt/The Fat Controller). This is given more detail in the original RWS story, with it being said that Douglas was escaping being Scrapped on the Mainland/The Other Railway).

'The Missing Coach' saw the arrival of twin engines Donald and Douglas, having been ordered from Scotland by the Fat Controller the twins soon discover that only one engine was sent for and that the other would not be needed (and would likely be sent back.
