RAILSIDE TALES logo

Railside Tales was a Small spin-off series of The Railways of Crotoonia, which premiered on February 18th, 2018 with two episodes debuting on the DVD Adventures on the Rail-Road; it later premiered on YouTube on March 9th, 2018 as part of the Crotoonia's Railside Weekend Event. It was conceptualized by Reuben Hoyle, and was initially planned to be "inbetweens" for half-hour blocks of Crotoonia episodes. However, when the original four-to-five minute runtime was increased to six minutes, it became an individual side-series. The series uses the same animation style as regular ten-minute Crotoonia episodes, but is narrated and animated in a "static animation" style reminiscent of early Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends episodes.

The series ended up Concluding in 2022 due to the Refresh series' having a Newer Format similar to Railside Tales.
