Rusty to the Rescue (CraftyFoxe)

## Rusty to the Rescue

**Rusty to the Rescue** is the second full length *Minecraft* style *Thomas & Friends* production by CraftyFoxe. It is a Mine-imator remake of the official fourth season episode of the same name. The models and sets were built within *Minecraft* by CraftyFoxe, ElderWizard and Sarcasm before being exported into Mine-imator.

## Trivia

* "Scrap" versions of Thomas, Gordon, Donald/Douglas and Stepney were made for this remake.
* James was added behind the brake van at Crovan's Gate Yards, though he is not in the original episode at all.
* For the Standard and Narrow Gauge Viaduct set, the buildings at the bottom were built separately and placed diagonally in Mine-imator.
* Stepney's controller's suit is brown with a blue jacket and red tie, and he is missing his beard.
* Like in "The Sad Story of Henry", all human characters are static in keeping with the original figures.
* Even though CraftyFoxe has shown to animate trains on curved track numerous times, all curved sections have been replaced with straights.
* The C. Junior skin later used in the *Magic Railroad* chase scene remake appears at Stepney's welcome party.
* This is the only CraftyFoxe remake in which the Levers acting as coupling hooks are pointing up like they actually would (except on Douglas, Percy and all rolling stock items that are built into the sets).
* Despite not having to be animated, Diesel, Mavis, Daisy and BoCo were built without the Quartz faces.

## Goofs

* Rusty, his rolling stock and the track they are on are the same size as standard gauge and were not scaled down in Mine-imator.
* None of the standard gauge engines emit any smoke or steam. Their wheels and coupling rods do not move either.
* Rusty's driver's uniform is the regular blue, when it should be a dark gray.
* Rusty's driver is in his cab and the fuel hose is missing when Thomas passes by him.
* Rusty incorrectly smiles when he says "I'm a shed and sidings inspection diesel" and asks "then, what about the sidings?".
* Salty and Frankie are seen among the diesels on the Other Railway, but they were not originally introduced until 2002 and 2017 (respectively).
* James, Bertie and Skarloey are missing their facial features.
* The night time lighting is slightly too bright.
* Stepney's driver and fireman are only seen in the cab when he leaves the Other Railway with Rusty.
* When Gordon passes by Crovan's Gate Yards, he appears out of nowhere when he should come from behind the brake van.
* Almost all trucks, vans, tankers and brake vans are missing their buffers, as well as all the diesels on the Other Railway set.
* Rusty's headlamp illuminates his entire face.
* Two regular Steve skins are seen during the welcome party for Stepney.
