The fact that Godred got smaller and smaller is just terrifying and disturbing at the same time. Like, what does that mean? I know it means they took parts from him but like, how many stuff did they take, did they effectively take him apart so much that he died? It's like that Unlucky Tug unanswerable Thomas question about how much does an engine needs to be removed to die.
I think an engine dies if his/her frames (the chassis of the engine) is destroyed, thus the engine can have multiple boilers and other parts changed/added/replaced throughout their service life and still be the same engine.
I always imagined Godred getting still being alive and aware as he was cannibalised My theory is an engine only dies if there’s sufficient enough damage to the boiler (as in a major rupture or explosion)
@@MrToymaster1 Yes but boilers wear out over time and would need replacing at some point in an engine's life so I personally wouldn't say the engines lives or dies at boiler but at its structual heart in the frames where the different parts of an engine are attached to.
*Culdee telling the story of Godred being used for his parts till there is nothing left of him while Sir Handel and Duncan get scarred for life* TrainBoy: *plays happy piano music* love the vid btw
There was a paranormal report around 1980 when a group of hikers said they saw a engine derail off the mountain...the disturbing part was that all the engines where in the shed at the time of the sighting
Regarding Godred's existence " Godred's actual existence has been the source of some confusion and debate since his debut. At the end of the story "Bad Look-Out" from The Railway Series book, Mountain Engines, it is said that Culdee had only made both the story and Godred up. However, no other engine carrying his number was seen in any of the stories. Furthermore, both The Island of Sodor: Its People, History and Railways and Sodor: Reading Between the Lines confirm that Godred did indeed exist and met his demise when he fell down the mountain. " -the Godred wiki page.
Was it ever said that Godred was made up? I know its said he made up the story, but I always assumed he was a real engine (in the universe) and the story was an exaggerated retelling, where in reality he was probably scapped after his fall as was Ladas or the fall never happened and he left the railway for unrelated reasons.
@@SocieteRoyale You mean the Jennings Locomotives. Scaring No. 3 & 6 was the intention of telling these stories. Though Awdry didn't want to do the same to his readers ( searches me why as he allowed the demise of the Spiteful Brake, the B.R. Engines from Bluebells of England, S.C.Ruffy, and lots of trucks to be shown ) or the cry babies would curse him out through the mail. Now nobody can be interested in this story for very long thanks to that last bit of phony narration.
I think that line at the end of the story "Neither Skarloey or Rheneas ever mentioned that Culdee had made the story up" just means that they neither confirmed or denied that it was a true story, leaving Duncan and Sir Handel to worry about poor old Godred and make them watch their own behaviour.
Do you think Godred and Ladas could become boyfriend and girlfriend in the afterlife? I saw something on DeviantArt where Thomas's brother Timothy was dating a tank engine called Penny, another spirit in the afterlife
When I was like 4 years old I had a take along culdee and since I didn't knew about the Railway series yet I thought who is this I've never seen this engine in Thomas and friends before. I still have the take along culdee
@@storiesfromdifferenteras I believe he was implying actually basing the modern thomas stories on real events that happened, just like the classic stories in the books did which were inspired by real life events and had a story written around them to give them context as to why they happened.
Wow I mean I knew that these stories were written and based off of real life events but I never actually thought about The Railway Series stories themselves that were adapted. The fact that an engine actually fell off the mountain is just so sad and hearing that there's more to the story is even worse. I really do like the cold he fell engines and I was thinking the same thing when they brought the small engines into the TV series that we could see them in CGI. But oh well this was a great video man and I can't wait to see more of these I really do love this series.
Do you know the book? The Rev wrote it and it has some interesting things, such as the name of CFR No. 5, 3 other Aresdakes engines, the skate quarry becoming a mountains near dump with a little engine to run it, the peel Godard branch si run my electric engines, and that the girded story is real, but he wasn’t Cannibalized, he was just scrapped
@@nabil944 In the RWS story it’s implied Culdee was making it up, unfortunately it’s directly said that he was “cannibalized” for parts as well. (However if it’s just a story then it’s unlikely.) :/ All of the classic RWS is seemingly based on something so I’m not saying it’s not real as much as I’m saying Culdee was just telling a story. I recommend reading the original book, it’s a good one! :)
@@ItsTrainBoy I have. The Island of Sodor, its people, history, and railways is a book George and Wilbert wrote. It states lots of things, like I said above, included that while the story was stated to be made up, it really happened. Look at the wiki, it’s one of the things listed under the sub page for the book (Sodor,it’s people, history, and railways)
Culdee Fell Railway was always my favourite as well. I used to have the ERTL models of Culdee, Godred and Lord Harry which I improvised with Annie and Clarabelle as there own personal coaches. I have ridden on the Snowdon Mountain Railway in Wales which is definitely worth visiting one day
You know something, While Awdry made a story about Culdee telling the others of Godred's demise, Last year in October I made a story about a passenger's death on Godred's demise that was inspired by Ellis' death. So I guess you could say that while Awdry made 1 half of the story, I made the other half. & 2 halves make a whole. So now we have the whole story of the opening day accident on the SMR.
Godred’s tragic story could have had a place as a cautionary tale like Duncan gets spooked levels of cautionary plus it would be interesting how they’d adapt the engines having a face in the front and the back plus another group of Welsh engines despite being built in Switzerland
if i remember right, there were some models of the culdee fell engines from the ERTL diecast line up, i may even have one in my parents attic somewhere lol
I did some searching and found that Culdee(it was only ever him in particular) had a model from ERTL, 3 models from the Wooden Railway series, one from Take Along, and one from Take-n-Play. While I certainly am not complaining about the amount of models they made of him I certainly am surprised. I myself have a Take Along toy of him, and while I did later on find him in a picture book, I never actually knew what was up with him until this video(I may have found out at some earlier point, but I don't remember that).
I remember reading the Mountain Engines book at my paternal grandparents' house in Wales. Didn't read the stories properly, as I was more interested in the illustrations showing the Culdee Falls engines based on the Snowdon Mountain Railway and the mentions of the Skarloey and North Western Railway engines (and I still have the book in a complete collection book of all of Wilbert Awdry's Railway Series books, so I shall read it sometime), it's such a shame to hear that tragic story about the real No. 1 engine on the Snowdon Mountain Railway that never got repaired again.
@@danthebluetank6636 And yet in Duncan Gets Spooked, Brake Van and the RWS version of Toad Stands By random vehicles including Scruffey, the Spiteful Brakevan and Skarloey's Brother get killed off
The first Railway Series True Story!!! This story always puzzled me. This story made the Culdee Fell railway a bit more mysterious. The True Story of Ladas is still amazing.
For mountain engine, it was based on how Snowdon's #5 had a trial trip before the Snowdon line opened to the public. For danger points and devils-back, they're based on how snowdon's #6 had once derailed at the summit, changed names, and rescued some people during a gale.
This is what I say for the Culdee Fell engines. No one was killed or jumped out of the coach and Culdee saw the entire thing and thankfully there were no other crashes that day. And somehow Godred would survive the long fall...just barely...now this is when I get into gross stuff, he died due to the amount of cuts and bruises on his face and blood loss on the face (sorry I had to mention that :/.....
The true story that inspired this book almost makes me think this is a Rev. Awdry story. Whoever was writing the RWS series really kept to the roots of the storytelling, despite Thomas not appearing in these stories, nor many of the other big engines outside of Edward.
Dang bro, still wish these guys were in the show. I know the model part couldn’t do them because of budget, but the cgi could’ve done what they did with the Arlesdale engines and put them in during season 21. (You know, if BWBA wasn’t happening.)
Although not always as dramatic, brake failure on the Snowdon Mountain Railway is actually quite common! The latest incident I know of was in late 2019 when a train lost its connection with the pinion and rolled all the way down the mountain at an alarming speed. No one was hurt though, and the train was stopped before too much damage occurred.
This story was the first IRL inspiration for a Thomas story i ever found out about. I remember feeling distraught when i saw the photo Ladas' crumpled remains. It may be because of Thomas but i always feel upset whenever i see a wrecked/scrapped engine. It's as if i'm looking at an actual corpse of a living being.
Enjoyed hearing this story. Could you please cover either “A Close Shave”, “A Big Day for Thomas”, or “Percy’s Promise”? If there are any stories that is
If these guys did appear in the show now, people would complain. They’d say something like “OOOH! So you couldn’t keep Edward or Henry around. BUT YOU CAN JUSTIFY BRINGING IN SOME BOOK ONLY CHARACTERS! Who asked for them anyway! THOMAS IS RUINED FOREVER!”
You could do a story about stationary boilers next. When the MSR's Stanley and Smudger played up they got turned into a pumping engine and generator respectively. Don't believe me? Check out Granpuff
Actually, Coldee was not bullshitting. In one of the books that Audrey wrote about the lore of the railway series, it's actually stated that he actually fell off a cliff. Which is still kind of fucked up.
I kind of like the perspective that Skarloey and Rheneas just think the story is made up, but it’s completely true and Culdee is absolutely serious with his warning.
Either Godred did get scrapped or he's still there in the CFR's shed and he'll never move again. The last explanation makes more sense unless Culdee is a liar
@@evanclarke5561 sorry I was referring to the real railway but forgot to state that . I’ve never been fully sure about Godred because we don’t actually revisit the railway in the present so even if Culdee made it up we wouldn’t know the full story of what happened.
I like to think that the two faces are like conjoined twins, similar to Mighty Mac in the TV Series. Of course, I only like to think that because the alternative option is much creepier.
Something strange I noticed. Look at the picture when culdee is next to godred before he was sent to be overhauled, he has a different dome but when he's at crovan's gate his dome looks identical to godreds. "they used godreds parts to mend us".
Make a video of Duke the Lost Engine. Duke is based on a locomotive named Prince, and his story is based on a steam engine from South America. (There was a tree growing out of its chimney).
Was this what mighty Mac was inspired by? Seeing as they are both double engines and had purple paint So I like to imagine that this was how mighty was made
The only reason Awdry said Culdee made the story up was to keep upbeat for kids. In The Island of Sodor: Its People, History and Railways, he says that in actually happened in the canon of the Railway Series
@@evanclarke5561 It says that Culdee told No. 6 the story about Godred after they put him in the same position he was in, at the back of the shed. Of course, you would think that Godred would say something or even be mentioned if we was there.

it always freaked me out how the engines had a face on the front AND back.
Like, do they move independently? Are they two separate minds?
I like to think that the two faces are like conjoined twins, similar to Mighty Mac in the TV Series. Of course, I only like to think that because the alternative option is much creepier.
@@NorthWestern1919 Maybe the back faces are painted on
“Law-Does” you got it right :3
Where in England was Cudlee being mended, as Donald says in mountain engine?
I know I had a take along toy of one of them
I probably still have it around somewhere considering i never got rid of my Thomas stuff
Something strange I noticed. Look at the picture when culdee is next to godred before he was sent to be overhauled, he has a different dome but when he's at crovan's gate his dome looks identical to godreds. "they used godreds parts to mend us".
More like used his parts to overhaul em from the sound of it
Could you also do Triple Header?
Could you do a video on a close shave for duck. I think it has something to do with a railway station in Hull, Yorkshire, England
Make a video of Duke the Lost Engine. Duke is based on a locomotive named Prince, and his story is based on a steam engine from South America. (There was a tree growing out of its chimney).
Oh yay, you finally used my idea
Can you do a video on the true story of Bulldog
It feels more like an Organ Donation ratter than Cannibalism.
Was this what mighty Mac was inspired by? Seeing as they are both double engines and had purple paint
So I like to imagine that this was how mighty was made
Will u do James and the trouble with trees
I had a toy of these guys, I don’t know what happened to it or what it was until now
wow i knew about ladas and i knew that a guy died but i didnt know that it was more grusome than that
RIP SMR 1 Ladas(Actually knew this before)
Yes plz more rws stories
You should colab whith the unlucky tug
The only reason Awdry said Culdee made the story up was to keep upbeat for kids. In The Island of Sodor: Its People, History and Railways, he says that in actually happened in the canon of the Railway Series
But Godred could just be at the back of the shed and won't move again. Culdee might've bluffed to make Sir Handel and Duncan stop complaining
@@evanclarke5561 not exactly. The book says that Godred indeed crashed AND was dismantled.
Also, he is never shown or mentioned again, even with a scene in the sheds.
@@That1LucaGuy isn't he mentioned in Devil's Back
@@evanclarke5561 It says that Culdee told No. 6 the story about Godred after they put him in the same position he was in, at the back of the shed. Of course, you would think that Godred would say something or even be mentioned if we was there.
What about Thomas Bootlegs and Cashgrabs?
if the culdee fell was in thomas it would have been in season 20
