Bertram: Old Warrior[]

Neil had an idea for a new series in December of 2014 about Bertram and immediately set about designing and building brand new characters using different old Wooden Railway models. He and his close friend Rhyndale, planned and wrote several episodes for the new series. Some test footage was produced by both Rhyndale and Neil which featured an unrealeased test trailer which now currently exists. In late July 2015, Neil changed his channel name to BertramOldWarrior. The series officially premièred in September 2015 with the first episode Genesis. The second episode Adapt was released soon after and the series is currently airing at present. The series has its own Official Site and its own Wiki.

Sudric Saga[]

Neil's series, Sudric Saga, was launched on the 3rd November 2014, with the episode, Chain Reaction. Due to filming difficulties and a busy schedule, Neil took a 6 month break from YouTube and has confirmed that Sudric Saga is on hiatus.

Remakes[]

Neil was first inspired to do remakes by ThomasWoodenEpisodes, and, being a big fan of The Railway Series, Neil did several remakes of the Awdry stories.

Beginnings[]

Neil's first video was uploaded on February 21, 2014, which consisted of a test Thomas and Friends intro. His second video was a review of the 8-inch turntable. After that, he uploaded four themes, three of which he composed.

WR99 Reviews[]

Neil was first inspired to do reviews by Jlouvier. He did a review on the 8-inch turntable and, later, did an unboxing review on the Elsbridge Platform. However, Neil felt he needed to present his reviews better and start making his new reviews in a new style. The first of these new style reviews was on the Coal Hopper. 

WR99 Themes[]

Neil has composed several original character themes from the Railway Series and from the TV Series.

End []

Mid 2016 all content stopped from the channel and twitter with no reason provided. Behind the scenes, Neil felt he had to take time off after someone very close to him passed away.

Return[]

On July 13, 2020, Neil announced on Twitter that new episode of Bertram: Old Warrior would be coming out and a few days later, episode 3 was released on the channel. Episode 4 was subsequently released a month later.
