WildNorWester is an Australian YouTuber. he is the creator of Sodor: The Early Years and Sodor: The Modern Years. He is also the narrator and voices some of the characters from season 5 onwards. Before then, he did all of the voices, minus the female voices, which were done by ANB.

Bio

WildNorWester first started Sodor: The Early Years in February, 2011. After Barry the Rescue Engine, he switched to voice cast for Season 5. Aside from his videos, he is a content creator for the Auran game, Trainz and provides a great number of items seen in his series. He also appears in other people's YouTube videos. After Winds of Change he has decided to make his own models of the North Western engines and use them for his videos, instead of Si3D's models except for some that were commissions like Frank, Pip and Emma.

WildNorWester's delivery can be described as calm and relaxed, as opposed to the more upbeat narration of the TV series and other fan-made series.

WildNorWester initially planned on cancelling his series after Season 2 of Sodor: The Modern Years, but after 3 years, he uploaded test footage for a potential Season 3 intro, with 3D faces on his models.

On January 1st 2021, WildNorWester released an update video where he acknowledged the year long break between episodes (bar the introduction sequence updates) and outlined a plan for his little franchise going forward. Until sometime in 2024, there will be Railway Series miniseries ala Barry the Rescue Engine and then he will eventually go back to making standalone episodes.

Characters
