The Trouble With Trains 3
Video Overview & Insights
The final part of the trilogy is here!
Its odd how it all works. From my perspective anyway. The first Trouble with Trains, it starts with up beat music, giving the watcher a sense of anticipation from the enjoyment they expect to get from the video they're about to watch. Then afterwards, the epilouge with the soothing sort of montage-y music kicks in, followed by the joyful upbeat Thomas theme as the credits music, as if to say "The adventures only begun, stay tuned!". Then the next one, TTWT 2, starts with a quick upbeat theme again, giving the same message. Same montage-y music to start off the story and get the viewer prepared. They are fully caught up on whats happened for the last 3 months, and can now see what will happen afterwards. Then something different happens, TTWT 2 ends with a more sad theme over the credits (after of course the usual Repairs theme montage music for whats coming next time), as if to say "We're nearing the end of our tale, stay tuned for the finale". When I first found this series, there was no TTWT 3 yet, so the end music really saddened me, and made my need for a finale greater. Then, TTWT 3 came out. No montage music at the opening this time, but rather some story and then the true intro. The upbeat Oh Doctor Beeching music was perfect for this, as if to say "Here we go once more! One more time!" with the story. Skipping to the ending, theres the montage music again, once more explaining what happened recently. At the time, it seems like theres gonna be more to be told. Why else would there be exposition? But then, the music cuts out and, after being told that was the end of the story by TurboJ himself (?), the normal act of putting away the engines for the evening becomes this very emotional scene that practically displays it as the last time youll see those familar trains and faces, followed by the both sad and happy Wind in the Willows theme. It gives a very sad, but very content message. And I wish I knew why, but this silly little series has nearly made me cry at its ending. Yeah I know theres Desk Railway Chronicles, but this will always be the end of the TTWT series, and, being that it was essentially my childhood of the internet, it will always seem amazing.
Okay my mile long rant is over. I always just kinda thought those things and wanted to share it here.
Little Western arrives on the railway, and there's trouble ahead...

@jacklovesallsorts2479yea 9v lego train in 1990s
@yellingberryThis shit is so classic!! Almost 2 decades later
@GoshenWorksBeen watching since TurboJ made these. (I'm 25 now) I watch all three religiously. If any of these underwent a remaster, I would divvy up money.
Thank you TurboJ for making some well thought out stories and videos over the years. Of course, the memories.
This is so good, even filmed in 4:3 to give it that 90s feel. You do not know how painful it is to know I got Star Wars Lego instead of all these great trains. I was a right idiot when I was a nipper.
And now to watch number 4.
Anyone from 2025

@jacobganttbudokaiDoes anyone knows what song was playing when max was passed as a driver at 26:23
@ciarandaragh8676It’s kinda hard to believe that the original Trouble with Trains was 9 minutes, and the third one is over half an hour long…
@LegoMannnnnThis series just has something about it, the vibe is so comfortable and despite the world being lego and cardboard it's actually pulled off quite well. I still come back to these videos every so often, not sure why. But I haven't been able to find anything quite like them. I hope one day TurboJUK shall return.
@eurikadudeWhat's the name of the ending credit music did you use?
@nicholashuynh6907What's happened to your video about Mallard?
