Thomas Wooden Railway Community


Tank Engines Studios is a TWR group account founded by Percyno6 and SirTophamHatt291. It is not to be confused with the Tank Engine Society which shared the same initials.

Creation[]

When Percyno6 returned to the Community in September of 2011, one of the people he talked to was Jack (SirTophamHatt291). He had first started to talk to Jack during his previous run in the Community when he was promoting him. As they continued to talk, Jack convinced Percyno6 to get a Skype account. On Skype, Jack introduced Percyno6 to Matt Rosato (then thomasfreak808). Percyno6 would go on to talk to many other users on Skype. In the springtime of 2012, Percyno6 talked to Jack and Matt the most. Percyno6 was always talking about wanting to make a group channel with Jack. Jack wanted to ask WoodenRailwayReviews if they could restart OurTWRCommunity. Percyno6 on the other hand wanted to make a new group account.

Rise[]

Once they came up with the name for the account (TankEnginesStudios), it was time to add members. It was decided that Percyno6 would be the leader of the group. The first member they picked was thomasfreak808, as they both talked to him. The next user was HenryisGreat15. They ended up being the first four members of TankEnginesStudios. Sadly, the group did not last long.

Fall[]

After Jack continued to talk about using OurTWRCommunity instead of TankEnginesStudios, Percyno6 would finally agree to reopening OurTWRCommunity. Once they got the okay from Robert (WoodenRailwayReviews), OurTWRCommunity would be open. Due to the fact that OurTWRCommunity was for older users with a good follow, only Percyno6 and Jack would join the revived OurTWRCommunity. With Percyno6 and Jack in OurTWRCommunity, Percyno6 left it to Matt and Johnny (HenryisGreat15) to do what they wanted to with TankEnginesStudios. Matt and Johnny ended up doing nothing with the channel, thus bringing an end to TankEnginesStudios.

First Return[]

Once Percyno6 had finished editing this very wikia page, he considered the idea of bringing back Tank Engines Studios. Since he was the only active user left, he decided he would bring it back. He first asked Oliver Duck if he would like to join the group account. Once he said yes, the two of them came up with people they would like to join Tank Engines Studios. They ended up adding ericpierre53, ThomasWoodenEpisodes, woodenrailwayonly, and woodenrailway123. Percyno6 officially uploaded an unlisted video on his account announcing the return of Tank Engines Studios and the five members who would be joining him.

1st TWR Community Awards[]

On May 1, 2015, days after ThomasWoodenEpisodes left Tank Engines Studios, the members of Tank Engines Studios announced that they were going to do 2014 Thomas Wooden Railway Community Awards. This was something the members had planned on doing since late 2014. Everyone was allowed to vote once per category. With 10 total categories, Community members could vote on 4. These include best episode, best movie, best set, and best layout. Voting started on May 1, with the voting ending on May 8. The Awards video was uploaded on July 31, 2015 with the results of the 4 fan votes and 6 votes from the members of Tank Engines Studios. At the end of the awards video, HiroTheJapaneseTrain was revealed as the sixth member of Tank Engines Studios. Shortly after the Awards video, Oliver Duck announced he was leaving YouTube, and thus Tank Engines Studios. For the second time in 2015, Tank Engines Studios was down to 5 members.

Ted Leaves[]

Following the 2014 Thomas Wooden Railway Community Awards, two videos from Eric and Tom (woodenrailway123) were uploaded to the channel. In January 2016, Tank Engines Studios released an update video about their plan for the year. They also announced LegoLover117 as the newest member, and replacement of Ted.

End[]

The last video uploaded to the channel during the second run was the uncut version of Percy's Ever Present Past with LNERFlyingScotsman on July 15, 2016. A 2016 Community Awards was announced on Twitter around this time, however nothing ended up happening with it. With no announced plans from the Twitter account or by any members since July 2016, the channel once again came to an end.

Second Return[]

In July 2019, Percyno6 was hoping to bring Tank Engines Studios back along with the returning Community Radio. However, he could not sign into the account. Percyno6 checked with the final members of the account to see if they could sign into the account, however they also could not sign into the account. Percyno6 had given up hope of ever getting back into the account when he found the channel still signed in on his Firefox on April 14, 2020. Percyno6 quickly told MultiGreenThunder about his plans to bring back Tank Engines Studios. Multi, along with TrainKing James would officially be the first 3 people in the new Tank Engines Studios. 5 days later on April 19, 2020, woodenrailwayonly and LegoLover117, who along with Percyno6 were final members in the last run of Tank Engines Studios, agreed to return to the channel. MasterOfTheLemons also agreed to join Tank Engines Studios on April 19, rounding out the members of the returned Tank Engines Studios. The 2nd Community Awards would be announced on May 2, 2020. MultiGreenThunder would leave Tank Engines Studios, along with the TWRC in late 2021. He would be replaced with a returning Oliver Duck.
