History[]
The older icon.
In early 2016, MrConductorFan1406 proposed to MrMPS2002 the idea of doing a podcast together with turtlesandthomas. MPS agreed, but turtles declined the proposition, so Vinnie and MPS decided to just do the podcast on their own.
MPS created the channel in February 2016, and he and Vinnie recorded three episodes at the time of the channel's creation, not aware of the fact that they would actually launch the channel two months later, making the episodes they recorded earlier out-of-date.
On March 11, during his trip to California, MPS met up with Vinnie at his house, and they filmed a video that was originally supposed to be a Troublesome Brakevan review. However, halfway through the review, the video became an announcement for the podcast, with the first podcast episode being released that day.
Rise[]
Throughout 2016, podcast episodes were released every week, with the exception of the week of June 17, as both MPS and Vinnie were on vacation. Throughout that run, the podcast featured several TWRC members as guests, as well as a few non-TWRC members. was the first ever guest, with WoodenRailwayReviews being the first and SkarloeyRailway01 being the last
The End[]
Uploads became more infrequent throughout 2017, due to Vinnie and Matt taking several breaks, including a long one over the summer. A few more episodes were uploaded in 2018, before uploads ceased altogether on the channel. There are currently no plans to bring the channel back, with the chances of that happening being even lowered by the fact that Matt stopped making videos in 2019.
