Life On The Forum

TurboJ has been a member of the forums since March 3rd 2006, and visits just about every day. He tries (and so far, has succeeded) to stay out of trouble and be a Really Useful Member. He is known by a handful of people on the forums for various things, such as music contributions (Repairs Theme anyone?), artwork (not on the standards of GotSTEAM or Truro, but adequate nonetheless) and his claymations (see below).

TurboJ Productions

In early 2006 TurboJ set up his movie company TurboJ Productions. His first claymation, Mouse Attack!, received fairly decent reviewes on Newgrounds. He later discovered YouTube through SiF and later abandoned Newgrounds entirely, focusing on submitting claymations of higher visual and audio quality.

Following this, TurboJ began posting all of his movies into the "Miscellaneous Videos" Thread on SiF, which could contribute to his popularity. Indeed, TurboJ wouldn't have as many fans had it not been for Sodor Island.

Undoubtedly his most famous movies are those in the Trouble With Trains trilogy, which document the adventures of Reggie the Engine Driver on the Desk Railway. The first was released on August 19th 2006, the second on February 15th 2007 and the third on February 24th 2008. The last was notable for having three SiF members guest star: Ash Sowerby, Blue Pioneer and S57Firebox.
