Ironbark Rail Stories

Production
In early 2018, Mr3801Fan 26, who was attempting to make a Trainz series, created a FreightCorp 82 Class character named Clyde. After a visit to the Hunter Valley Steamfest in early 2018, he decided to set the stories of Clyde on a fictional route based on real NSW railway locations. The new series was titled Ironbark Rail Stories and was the first Trainz series by Mr3801Fan 26 to enter development. Mr3801Fan 26 wanted to go for a style reminiscent to the classic episodes of Thomas & Friends. At the time, he didn't have a YouTube channel, so he had to rely on NSWSteamFan's, who was a friend of his. NSWSteamFan would also become the first voice actor to join the cast. Eventually, Mr3801Fan 26 created his own YouTube channel and gained more creative freedom, though NSWSteamFan remained in the voice cast.

In mid 2019, the route for the series was wiped away from Mr3801Fan 26's hard drive. This led to the delay and eventual cancellation of Ironbark Rail Stories, although a replica of the route has been attempted numerous times.

Hunter Tracks and Engines Of Galston Rails
Eric, Paul, and Olivia (renamed Judith) has been reincarnated into a character in Hunter Tracks. Part of the logo was also reused. In addition, the setting at Ironbark Siding was also reused.

Although the series was cancelled, Mr3801Fan 26 reused most of the characters as additional characters or Easter eggs in Engines Of Galston Rails.

Most of the characters have been reincarnated in different draft designs. Clyde (renamed Clive), George, and Sue have been reincarnated into their first draft designs. Paul and Lizzie were reincarnated into their second and third draft designs. As of now, Eric and Gregory have yet to be reincarnated.
