Railway Chronicles - From Memory

Hello everyone!

As some of you may know, a little talking Trainz series was created on YouTube in 2008/2009 called Railway Chronicles. It was created by Wraithmike, the series lasted around 4 episodes (2 parts for each episode, I believe) before being taken down for copyright. Later a reboot was created which lasted 2 episodes, yet those episodes were deleted as well (I don't know why though, potentially more copyright bull).

I am writing this thread, because I never got to see the series myself, which is a shame, because from what I can see from a reupload on YouTube, it was a very good series. In addition, I believe that we shouldn't let such an influential piece of media fade in to obscurity.
So pretty much, I would love it if anyone could take time out of their day and summarise everything they remember from the series. I understand that might be a big ask, but I would love to get a taste for something I never really got to experience.
Please and thank you. :D
 
Alright! It appears that no one has anything to add! Which is totally fine btw, I wasn't expecting anything else to be totally honest, so to make good use of this thread, I'll just compile all the information I have about the Railway Chronicles for everyone that doesn't know anything about it.

1. There are currently 2 re-uploads of the series on YouTube, that being 1 part of an episode, and the intro.
2. The following characters were featured in the series (please correct me if I'm wrong on this one):
-Archie - QR PB15 class,

-Harris - FS Gr940 class,

-Samson - D&RGW C-41 #1015,

-Max - Renfe 303 Hydraulic Shunter,

-Mitchell - Baldwin Light 2-8-2,

-Bulldog - B&O C-16,

-Hunter - UP Big Boy,

-Tex - W&ARR 4-4-0,

-Jackson - Victorian N Class 453,

-Doug - Baldwin Modern 2-6-0,

-Eagle - BN SD40-2,

and of course CRR #311.

3. The titles of the episodes (pre-reboot):

Ep.1: "Sugar"

Ep.2 or 3: "Newcomer" (I'm just guessing. :P)

Ep.4: "Splitting The Load"
(Apparently one of the episodes had something to do with some candy boxcars, probably the BabyRuth ones.)

Again, if I made any mistakes in my research, please point them out!
