North Western Railway Adaptions

 * "Emily's Fundraising" - Based off the Trainz story "Fundraising Engine" from tardisrescue, but would use the Series 3-4 music instead of the new series music.
 * "Terence Takes a Bath" would have been added to the Toby, Trucks and Trouble story arc due to two of the stories from the book being adapted into one story for the TV Series adaption.

 * "Thomas and the Special Letter" would remain mostly the same, except Emily, Daisy and Bear would also make cameos during the engine parade in the beginning. Jinty would also replace Oliver in the scene where Thomas tells about his race with Bertie and crashes through the buffers.
 * Emily would have roles in "Rusty to the Rescue", "Bear's Important Job", "BoCo's Trucks for Scrap", "Emily's Fundraising", "Old Groaner", "Signal Failure", "Edward & the River Rose" and "Better Safe Than Sorry".

Skarloey Railway Adaptions

 * "The Splendid and the Spluttering", "Gusts!", "The Lone Wolf" and "Thieves" would be based off Trainz adaptions by the YouTuber, "ShunterProductions" but only the narrow gauge engines would be in their TV series liveries.
