HankAmericanEngine's YouTube Video's

Wow. That... was... amazing!!! I predict a second part involving the Manager's other locomotives. Plus, did any of your engines that you used fishing line (?) actually work/ operate?

Howdy ROKMAN1445!

Well, that's all up to my audience and subscribers! If there's any interest in Manager and his railway, I'll start up my own series on YouTube, but there is the off-chance that there won't be-- quite literally, it's hit and miss on this one!

As for the fishing line, all the engines worked; it was just easier to use the fishing line to get a more realistic slow speed or a locomotive coming to a halt.

Thank you so much for your kind words-- they really do mean a lot.

Anytime, Hank. Realism is cool, but these are toys in some cases. Y'know, I would like a series about Manager's railway, but you can only do so much. It happens, man. I attempted to write a 5 minute review and had to split it into 3 parts.

Howdy guys!

Wow; I've really got a lotta dust to blow off of this three, and my channel!

So, I forgot how to post a poll, but I want to make this known to all of you-- I'm currently collaborating with another YouTube user for a joint-video that'll be uploaded some time in the future, and is currently under harsh wrap until it is ready to be shared online.

To give the long and short of it, we're making our own ghost story, and I'd like some voting to be done on the working titles we have both come up with; I'll list them here, and just cast your vote for your personal favourite! I'll run a few more polls later after I make an announcement regarding this, and things on my channel.

Here's the titles! Remember, only one vote for one title!

"The Old Branch Line"

"The Hawkendale Line"

"The Ghost of Hawkendale"

"Haunted Hawkendale"

"The Phantom of Hawkendale"

"The Hawkendale Ghosts"

"The Mystery of Hawkendale"

Good to hear you are still in to the Video making Hank. Figured school has been taking up your time.

Not knowing anything much about the Thomas shows I will leave the voting to the experience Thomas aficionados. Thanks for asking and I look forward to watching.

I quite like the idea of "The Mystery of Hawkendale, as well as The Ghost of Hawkendale. Can't wait to see the finished video!

I like the Phantom of Hawkendale personally

This is somewhat disconcerting, but I guess I'll throw it out here before I throw it out on YouTube.

YouTube's Copyright and Community Guidelines policies have been abused in the past and, subsequently, have made 2016 harsh for several YouTube users; just earlier this week, one of my personal favourite YouTube users got their channel terminated, and has made me grown to worry about the fate of mine.

A while back, a video of mine (all original footage) with another YouTube user's music (used with their permission), received a "Copyright Strike" from a third-party company I had never even heard of; I could barely even file an appeal to YouTube, and lost a good amount of income from that video being claimed by this company. The only time the video, and income, return to my possession was when the user went to that video and typed, "Dear YouTube, I gave him permission to use the music!"; two hours later, the income flowed from that video.

I received no apology, nor any kind of compensation from YouTube; I still have all the emails from when this happened, too. This has truly begun to worry me, seeing these two policies being abused so easily ever since Google bought out YouTube.

So, for starters, I've made an official back-up channel, Hank thePRRK4, just in case any of this nonsense hits my main channel again; this is also to prevent any cries of piracy of my videos when I begin to reupload them here if I feel things on my main channel are getting too dangerous.

Also, I'm just throwing this out here since I can't really keep up-to-date on Google+, YouTube, and whatnot...

Follow my official Twitter handle for updates, release dates, and a picture or two of things I've been working on!

Sorry to throw this out here, but YouTube is now becoming scarier and scarier by the day, and I do have to worry about what might come after my channel. With that one copyright nonsense still being removed, I do have to keep wondering whether or not I will just have to up and leave "HankAmericanEngine" for "HankthePRRK4" in the future.

Sorry to be the downer, but I do have to bring this to light.

Such a shame as scam artists are getting into everything. Plarail Mike had the same issue of receiving a claim of copywrite to the music he used in his second from last video. He is from the UK and the people laying claim to the music were from California. The ridiculous thing about it is that Plarail Mike created the music himself using his keyboard and launchpad. Crazy right. I am thinking this is just another scam like the hundreds if not thousands of videos being copied and added to the scammers created channels to make money. I am thinking they have hacked some kind of software like YouTube uses to locate copywrite music. I wonder if they manipulated it to pick up certain sounds in music and automatically file a claim. So in effect they are the thieves and don't care who they are affecting. Big YouTube channels are making millions of dollars so where there is big money there are big scams. Hope you get it worked out.

I get a "This page isn't available" notice when trying to access your backup channel.

Howdy Super!

A real shame to hear about what happened to Plarail Mike but, at this point, I'm not surprised; it's happened since Google bought YouTube.

You have to type in the username like this: Hank thePRRK4

For some reason, the space actually exists; it's not an underscore or hyphen, but an actual space.
