I always thought that Stepney's driver was there because he's his friend and he wants to keep him company in his final hours. Otherwise Stepney would just be on his own, awaiting the cutter's torch
One day my mom just started singing the “don’t be afraid of the dark” song, and I perked my head up and said “how do y I know that” and she said “I know it because you watched that over and over when you were little”. That was so weird to me
The episode that really creeped me out as a kid was when Percy hits the lime and looks like a ghost. Then there’s that shot of the crate being held by a crane and it looks like a noose. The music, the visuals, the sound effects, all of it......chill down the spine
Wouldn’t that be ideal? Unfortunately, we’re not the target audience, so Mattel probably looks at the adult fanbase like they shouldn’t be there. But never mind making it for the fans though, kids deserve quality entertainment too. But Mattel don’t care about that. They want easy, quick money (not good money, EASY money. That’s why new seasons are pumped out so quick and why the new series looks as cheap as it does).
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I FORGOT THIS EXISTED. I was a huge Thomas fan as a child and now I remember how weird this was to little me. I find way more enjoyment in this now lol
Sir Toppham Hatt has secrets. Deep. Dark. Secrets. After all, how does one become the strict railway controller without having a past that molds him into such a man?
Smudger could be seen as similar to Henry in many regards, they were both built incorrectly and behaved poorly early on. However, Henry redeemed himself and overcame his bad attitude. He then tried to work as hard as he could in spite of his problems, and was then rewarded when Sir Topham Hatt had him partially rebuilt, fixing his original design flaws. Smudger never improved his attitude and was thus seen as undeserving of repairs. Plus the railway he worked on seemed like its financial problems somewhat shortly after he was decommissioned so there would be no point in fixing him up and getting another engine.
I’ve always thought that the skarloey railway hell just the narrow gauge engines in general had enough content lore etc for a spin off show or something that’s just me though
In the RWS canon, Stanley (the original Smudger) was later moved to a mine to be used to pump water out of the mineshafts. One day, he broke down, causing the mines to became flooded, shutting down operations. This caused Duke's Mid Sodor Railway to shut down in turn. While it's not known what happened to Stanley, he was presumably scrapped afterwards. I like to think Smudger's story ends the same way.
The change in tone with the narrow gauge stories was so good. It made the narrow gauge episodes really stand out from the rest. This video was really good and I hope you do more. I'm subscribing because of this one.
In the German version of the scrap yard scene, the voices of the scraped locomotives are much scarier. I remember running away from the TV at this scene when I was young😅
When I was little the scrapyard scenes scared the crap out of me because even as a kid no older then 6, I knew the rusted out engine frames were once steam engines.
Actually fun fact: After the Smudger flashbacks, he isn't seen again. Not even at the back of the shed, so at least he isn't buried alive. Whatever happened to Smudger is unknown.
My opinion: Smudger never actually existed. Just used as an intimidation tool to keep Stuart & Falcon in line. Technically it’s Duke telling the story of Smudger, not the show’s narrator. The narrator picks up again after the story, saying that “Stuart and Falcon behaved quite well after that.” Considering how Smudger is not acknowledged by anyone after Duke’s story ends and the actual episode resumes with that line by the narrator I personally believe there is no Smudger; just an imaginary tale to scare Stuart & Falcon into working, not pranking.
Bro if you wanna do another of these darker tone episodes you should talk about breakvan and the deputation. 1 how a character LITERALLY DIES ON SCREEN AND HIS DECAPITATED FACE IS SWUNG ABOUT. 2 the twins were legit going to DIE IF SENT BACK. 3 Donald, despite knowing this, crashed into the signal box on purpose, aka risking HIS OWN CHANCE OF NOT DYING, just so that his brother wouldn't die. 4. How deeply this affected the twins as we see in escape how the mention of scrap is a trigger for Douglas. Anyways these two episodes are dark but at least they have a happy ending (rip spiteful breakvan)
How about a video on the many Narrators of Thomas & Friends, especially since we sadly lost Michael Angelis this year? I know he has a bit of a bad rep for American fans because of Season 7, but I think that is due to HIT. There is no way he went from his performance from Season 6 to Season 7 without some intervention
Counterpoint to the Smudger issue, he was basically a lost cause. The engines don’t seem to be rebuilt or fixed unless they get into a serious accident (i.e Henry), so turning him into a generator would be more cost efficient to the railway
2:45 The theme that your friends will always come back for you is still true this engine was simply doomed to death because he wasn’t worthy of friendship love or care
When you think about it, the firebug engine we saw that Duncan was a bit scared by looks a bit like Smudger. And that just makes it more creepy, giving me the feeling that Smudger probably rotted to his end after being forgotten. Its strange and a bit of a scare, in my opinion atleast.
There are a lot a engines I want to see back in Thomas and friends. Also if Smudger was Duncan’s ghost I would be happier and great job for reaching 1k subscribers 😄
There were many other engines who worked on the MSR and almost certainly got scrapped unless they instead became sold, like Tim, Alfred, Jerry, Atlas and Alfred.
1. We left this part of the island alone? Why would he say that? My guess: The souls of Splatter & Dodge haunt the pla- & 2. WTF?!? Why they gotta do that to ma man Smudger? Huh Topham? WHY? Btw, Congrats on 1K
Yo, "Duncan gets spooked" is one of the scariest/spookiest episodes I have ever watched right next to "Rusty and the Boulder". Granted "Rusty and the Boulder" on scares me cuz of the fact that Boulder *somehow* has a soul and seeks revenge or something, but "Duncan gets spooked" literally gave me nightmares when I first watched it. Hell I would go as far to say that that episode summons demons for me because I recently watched it for the sole purpose of getting spooked myself and while I was doing so, I caught glimpses of a shadowy figure scurrying past my door every once in a while.
‘Smudger’ was a Baldwin built loco ['Stanley'] from WW1 in Rev Awdry’s books, not a ‘Rhenas’ lookalike as shown on TV, and those original narrow gauge stories are based specifically off of events on Welsh slate railways. I understand this story is based off three such war-surplus Baldwin engines sold to the Penrhyn Quarry Railway in 1924, which were not at all suited to the line’s tight curvature, regularly derailing. One - 46828/1917 ‘Felin Hen’ - was sold to a Sugar Cane mill in Australia in 1940, and is now in preservation in France, but the other two - 47143/1917 ‘Llandegai’ and 46764/1917 ‘Tregarth’ - were scrapped, but not before ‘Llandegai’ was briefly converted… yep: to power to a nearby timber mill on the Penrhyn Estate. Sorry folks: ‘Smudger’/'Stanley' definitely doesn’t survive.
If the TV continuity here is anything like that of the books, 'Smudger' got his revenge :D The following all comes from The Island of Sodor: Its People, History and Railways. Smudger's RWS counterpart, 'Number 2' or 'Stanley', did not remain at the back of Arlesdale shed indefinitely. He was eventually moved up the valley to Cas-ny-Hawin, where he was employed as a pumping-engine at the lead mine there, keeping the workings dry by pumping out the water that seeped into the workings. During WW2 the mines in the Arle valley were worked to the limit, and once peace returned they were deemed too dangerous to remain in operation, and they closed one-by-one. The last mine to remain in operation was that at Cas-ny-Hawin, until in December of 1946 it was forced to close. Why? Because Stanley (already in badly worn condition) had broken down, and without him to keep the workings drained of water, the mine flooded! With no traffic to support itself (passenger and local goods trains having been long suspended), the Mid Sodor Railway closed in January of 1947. Thus Duke's decades in his shed can be directly laid at Stanley's wheels! :D * The reason for Stanley's repurposing as a pumping-engine is much like how 'Montague' became 'Duck' - in the latter case, the 00-scale GWR tank engine Wilbert had purchased for his Ffarquhar model railway (and which he named Montague) had improperly-profiled wheels, causing the engine to waddle. Wilbert's children began calling it Duck, and the name not only stuck but was carried over when the character entered the stories. Likewise, Stanley's story was inspired by that of a model. Wilbert had a Baldwin 4-6-0 tank engine on his Mid Sodor Railway layout which was a very poor runner and often derailed. Eventually Wilbert gave up getting it to work and repurposed it as set-dressed, turning it into a pumping engine outside the mine! Thus real-life wrote Stanley's fate, and that of Smudger!
“HALT!” Y-yes? “WHO ARE YOU?!” A track maintenance diesel... I’m here to inspect the tracks... and the engines, and the engines! Yes, engines! Do you... have any in the sheds? “NO.” How about in the sidings? “NONE.” M-maybe in the... smelter’s shed? “ONE. AND BE QUICK. THEY’RE GETTING READY.” - the voice of a BR Class 32, with the gentle murmurs of a few Class 66s, a Class 09, a Class 59, and a lot of Class 08s in the background, possibly laughing at his attempts to save Stepney.
Thomas & Friends- where toy trains and stopmotion can scare the crap outta you better than most horror movies AND challenge Michael Bay's mastery of explosions in the span of a five-minute episode. Truly, Gullane had to be working ACTUAL MAGIC behind the camera.
About his makers I heard that smudgers makers actually didn't have the right size axle so they had to use a slightly bigger axle causing him to derail.
It's such a relief that someone else though about Smudger and said it all in the most proper way. It always bothered me even as a kid, that the little green engine was just left to die. Without any friends remembering him. Come on! This is Thomas and friends. ALL stories should end good! It totally was NOT difficult to find and rescue Smudger when the railway was closed. Right? And he could be turned back into an engine again I suppose. I understand your feelings here Trainboy cuz I have the same opinion.
I wonder if the now abandoned mine is near the old Mid-Sodor Railway and Boulder is actually just Smudger possessing a big ass rock to get his revenge on the bastards that didn't bother to try and find and restore him
I know I’m really late. But they could’ve just added a few extra scenes showing smudger coming to the other railway. It could’ve worked, having him in the background instead of using Rheneas when he shouldn’t have been there.
I always thought that Stepney's driver was there because he's his friend and he wants to keep him company in his final hours. Otherwise Stepney would just be on his own, awaiting the cutter's torch
Thats exactly what they say in the episode.
Well, I can’t imagine being the driver watching your engine, your best friend possibly get cut up
@@N0mark0v i think its like when loved ones go to someone's execution. So someone is there when they pass.
Stepneys not dead
stepney the blue bell engine was waiting to go to the bluebell railway when two engine high jacked him and took him there
One day my mom just started singing the “don’t be afraid of the dark” song, and I perked my head up and said “how do y I know that” and she said “I know it because you watched that over and over when you were little”. That was so weird to me

*cough* the coach that escaped with toad and oliver.... (forgot the name)
@Dutch Studio Thanks
I think in the books smudger was used as a pump in a mine, but failed and the mine flooded.
Edit: It was Stanley, NOT smudger. My bad.
Yeah, that happened in the book but they scrapped it for the adaptation...
No in the books it wasn’t smudger it was Stanley
@Clampro what happened to Stanley after the mine flooded
...and then he got scrapped
1st of: The engine was Stanley 2nd: MAN that's dark
The episode that really creeped me out as a kid was when Percy hits the lime and looks like a ghost. Then there’s that shot of the crate being held by a crane and it looks like a noose. The music, the visuals, the sound effects, all of it......chill down the spine
Duncan gets spooked was an episode that scsred me as a kid, and yeah that music is what sells it. Creepy and kinda whimsical
I found Bad Look Out in the Railway Series pretty dark. Godred, Culdee's brother, got cannibalised for his parts to rebuild his siblings.
Same especially when the engine tipped off the bridge, ohh the memories.
I really wish that Mattel would listen to us fans.
Agreed but they don’t give a crap about it
Wouldn’t that be ideal?
Unfortunately, we’re not the target audience, so Mattel probably looks at the adult fanbase like they shouldn’t be there.

I never was scared of Duncan gets Spooked. The Ghost story scene was breathtaking to me! The music, The slowmotion, the movement on the murky water!
If The Narrow Gauge engines had a Dark tone in the Classic series, Imagine the Tone episodes with the Miniture gauge engines would have had...
If it was even to make a model with eye control for the smallies lol.
Woah fancy seeing you here. Love your game btw :)
The place Rusty went to was actually on the mainland iirc.
Also the diesels sounded scarier in the UK dub cos their voices were slowed and boominig.

What's more dark is the amount of scrapped engines in Sodors scrapyards. ;) Great video, be interesting if the series ever follows it up.
Sir Toppham Hatt has secrets. Deep. Dark. Secrets. After all, how does one become the strict railway controller without having a past that molds him into such a man?
I must admit, that boulder traumatized me as a child.
Oliver escapes is a great rescue suspense episode. Duncan gets spooked and the ghost train always gave me the chills when I was little.
"I'm not even going to tell you the second option"
(Tells us the second option)

Henry never had a bad attitude tf? 😂
@@phattrel6023 he complained about his paint getting ruined by the rain so he refused to work and stayed in a tunnel, sounds like a bad attitude
@@phattrel6023 A certain tunnel incident suggests otherwise.
They were both put to better use! I realized that from this comment!

Subbed yesterday. Absolutely love you style of narration and content. Keep up the good work bud
I love the episode granpuff. I never noticed the separation of standard and narrow gauge engines. nice video, man!
