CA62Mini's Previous Icon.

CA62Mini is a lesser known member of the TWR Community who joined YouTube on July 5th, 2006. However, he didn't start producing Thomas content until 2009. He had many series that were not overly successful. The channel currently has 175 subscribers.

Wooden Railway Tales[]

After being inspired by Keekre24 and Percyno6, CA62Mini began his first series Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends Wooden Railway Tales on January 1, 2009. Plots were planned, but had improvised narration. Earlier episodes were filmed by CA62Mini's father while later episodes were filmed by CA62Mini himself. Characters were moved directly via CA62Mini's hands. Earlier episodes had cuts, while later episodes were usually done in a single take. This series would have twenty-six episodes over three seasons as well as an additional six episodes that were dubbed "pilot episodes." The series would later end in Summer of 2009.

Thomas and Friends Forever[]

After a year of little to no content, CA62Mini returned with a new series, Thomas and Friends Forever, during the Summer of 2010. This series had background music and voice actors, including CA62Mini's mother, Klurty34, NemesisHero123, and Mambisdpampis, all of which were played in the background via a speaker rather than edited in proper. Episodes were no longer done in single takes, but editing was still minimal, and characters were still moved directly by hand. Plots were no longer improvised, but scripted prior. Opening and closing credits were also featured, but were hand-drawn and filmed rather than added in post-production. CA62Mini considered the production to be inferior to his prior series and the series of other community members, so he canceled Forever after two seasons and seven episodes total. Two music videos were also produced.

Thomas and Friends[]

In Summer of 2011, CA62Mini began a third series, simply titled Thomas and Friends. Although voice actors and music were no longer featured (with the exception of the intro), the scripts were more polished, a heavier emphasis on editing was made, and the characters were no longer moved by hand and instead by fishing line. Opening credits were also added in post-production for the first time, and non-wooden railway props were also used more extensively. The series would only last one season and four episodes total before being discontinued.

Goodbye[]

At the beginning of 2012, CA62Mini announced that he was no longer going to make videos. This departure would last up until late 2012.

Return []

After watching the work of enterprisingengines93, CA62Mini was inspired to come back and start a new. He uploaded a video entitled "Bluebell Pearl Promo" to announce his return. However, production of this episode never materialized.

Departure[]

Bluebell Pearl Promo, uploaded on March 17, 2013, was the last video that CA62Mini uploaded. In early 2015, he claimed production of all his Thomas content was on hold until that summer, giving some hope for a future return. However, in late 2019, all of CA62Mini's videos were removed from YouTube.
