@LtlNgn Junior sang gone fishing and the male backing vocals were us and a few friends

@MikeODonnell5 Do you remember other times you and Junior did vocals for the songs? I had a VHS tape when I was little with “Gone Fishing” and I think it was a demo version by either you or Junior. There were also the male vocals in some of the later songs e.g. “Salty”, “Never Never Give Up”

@MikeODonnell5 just was thinking about that bit towards the end of the song “There Once Was an Engine Who Ran Away” where someone was imitating Michael Angelis narrating the story (“he told him he was needed back urgently”). Was that you or Junior doing that imitation?

@LtlNgn Yes it was us

@MikeODonnell5 I also remember someone slowed down the truck’s vocals that were “chimpmunked” for “Pop Goes the Diesel” and “Toad Stands By”, the classic Troublesome Truck giggles and wondered if those were also you and Junior?

@LtlNgn No we didn’t work with Michael Angeles only Ringo

@MikeODonnell5 Was going to say, whoever it was did a fairly dead on imitation…did you guys ever work with Angelis to record the narration at your studio or was that somewhere else?

HI all, Just as a reminder the postal service is always a bit hit and miss during this period so if anyone wants to get something in time as a present please pop your orders in early and I will do my best to post the as soon as possible. Take care and stay safe.

@calgher69533 Good idea

Hi all, just wanted to say thanks to all the fans i met at the Spa Valley event on Sunday. It was lovely to hear their heart warming stories. Looking forward to the next one. Take care and stay safe

@owenthemadman Talented guys

We were delighted when @MikeODonnell5 stopped by for a chat and to see how we were doing. Thanks for your support!

Sadly my phone died on Sunday morning, taking all photos with it. I did however get a few pictures on my camera of '& Team' at work building Titsey for Tatsfield.

@ThomasMainline Thinking about what to do next

@MikeODonnell5 Are you doing Engine Themes Vol. 8?

Hi all, I had a lovely time at the Spa Valley show at tunbridge wells today meeting loads of Thomas fans, and I will be there again on Sunday so hope to see you there. Take care and stay safe

@reallyusefulCJ @thomasfanuk @TomsProps @SpaVRofficial Hi CJ hope everything is good for you Take care and stay safe

@thomasfanuk @MikeODonnell5 @TomsProps @SpaVRofficial Fantastic I met him 2 years ago! Hello Mike!

I met The legendary @MikeODonnell5 today for the first time and he was every bit amazing as you would expect. They say never meet your heroes but this gentleman is everything you would expect and more. Thank you @TomsProps for bringing his to the @SpaVRofficial model show

@LottieKereve Hi Lottie I will be there this weekend

@MikeODonnell5 will you be attending Spa Valley Railway model exhibition this weekend? As reference something I read mid August? Thank you for all your wonderful music.

@SiFansite Brilliant

Found on TikTok. @MikeODonnell5 - I know you've seen versions of the theme done before, but nothing like this! 🤣 vm.tiktok.com/ZGeEuooAR/

@AndrewDurning87 Thanks Andrew

Hi all, I have just found one of the original cassettes we submitted to Britt way back in 1983 ish to land the Thomas gig - brought back some memories.

@LtlNgn This is a demo for the thomas theme

@MikeODonnell5 If this is from 1983, are we talking demo tracks for the original pilot?
