      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).

    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.

    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.

  • @MarvelMTs
    @MarvelMTs 4 роки тому +4

    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)

    ‘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!

    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.
