    I like how you never say he stopped working at the scrapyard though.
    “Oh look, there’s Victor, with his new piston rod leg. What a character!”
    Nice work!

    Honestly, using a plasma or oxy torch to cut things can be really...REALLY fun. It gives you a feeling of power, especially when you first do it. But ultimately, destruction is destruction.

    There's quite a few gems in this production. From the out of focus, paper bag (as a previous commenter wrote) head through the Bohemian Rhapsody lighting of our host to my favourite.
    The best horror stories have moments of humour in them to give the viewer a fleeting second in which to breathe. The best bit of this psycho-steam-punk, riff on those weirdo biohackers who have chips sewn into their nervous system, is 3:30 the diesel driver shrugging his shoulders with perfectly posed arms and hands.

  • @steamenginestudios
    @steamenginestudios Рік тому +2

    I concede that MODERN machines CAN feel rather emotionless, but steam locomotives, while admittedly still metal contraptions, have a sort of individuality to them. Each one was built with drive, passion, and heart, and each one has its own quirks and quips, each one has its own unique personality. two steam engines can share the exact same design, but they will each have different temperaments, each performing slightly differently from the other, because like all things in nature, neither one can ever be exactly the same as the other.

    • @thundercreekcustoms
      @thundercreekcustoms Рік тому

      Same thing with old cars. I've worked with plenty of them and let me tell you, they let you know when they're upset with you lol

    • @steamenginestudios
      @steamenginestudios Рік тому

      ​@@thundercreekcustoms That's... KIND OF what I'm saying. Old machines, made by hand with care & attention, have a personality to them. Some take longer to wake, others groan about idling, each one is different from every other. There are always little imperfections in the metal, variations in the wood grain, subtle differences in the way each component was molded, forged, and assembled that make machines that are outwardly identical perform in visibly different ways. Every machine that was built by hand has it's own unique personality.

    If the model railway work dries up, Sam, then you have a definite future in creepy fiction. You're really good at it. If you want to read some incredibly creepy stories about railways, etc., then may I recommend 'Sleep No More', by the canal and railway enthusiast, L.T.C. Rolt. Every tale a dark gem.
    The Scrap Man's origin reminded me of the equally horrid Karl Ruprecht Kroenen, from the first 'Hellboy' movie. A mad scientist who worked on himself, and ran on clockwork - the key was where his heart had been, and he was so ancient, his blood had turned to dust in his veins.

    I worry about you Sam... But out of interest, at least one locomotive has gone to the scrapyard after an important component disappeared overnight... The class 58 engine test bed 47901 had a unique component from it's braking system disappear overnight. The cost to have this component re-manufactured and replaced was sufficient for this loco - only about a year and half out of an overhaul if I remember correctly - to be withdrawn and sent for component recovery, being scrapped at Doncaster.

    I was kinda hoping that the engine that would destroy the scrapman was one of the very engines he dismantled, a steam locomotive (kinda like a bit of karma from it saying "You killed my kind, now you'll pay the price") but a diesel, that would have been something he didn't expect.

    W-wow. That WAS indeed very scary and intriguing. But, I have one question:
    In a Salvage or Scrap video, you couldn't repair a Diesel in time, and you fed it to the scrap man. Why would you feed IT? Why give it what IT needs to survive?

    • @SamsTrains
      @SamsTrains  Рік тому +2

      I did a deal with the scrapman. I wanted a new series for my UA-cam channel, and he imparted the idea to me. In return, he gets the locos if I fail. Now you understand why the stakes are so high.

    Wonderful story. I'm not scared of it. Try every trick in the book if you want, but your ghost stories won't ever frighten me out of my wits. This might frighten you.
    Ghost Train in the Loft
    Sam admits he gets scared of my model ghost train requests. One night, something caused a creepy disturbance in the loft of Sam's home. Trying to sleep under a cozy blanket, Sam himself tossed and turned wildly for ten minutes. The strange noise above him woke him up. Brrrr!
    Sensing something was happening in the loft, a shaking-with-fear Sam got up and out of bed. He picked up his trusty torch and turned on its powerful light. Clad in his pjs and dressing gown, the young man slowly made his way towards the ladder. It was a spine-tingling moment or two before he plucked up courage, and climbed up into the blackness of the loft. He pressed the light switch. Nothing happened.
    "W-what's g-going on?" he stuttered in a whisper. A grey saddle tank engine was running along the railway like magic. Sam wanted to scream but no sound came out of his mouth. His blood froze to ice. He stood where he was, frozen with fright. He'd been scared before, but not so terrified as he was now. His widened eyes shone with fear, his mouth open with horror. Suddenly, he woke up.
    "AAAAH!" Sam looked around. He'd fallen asleep in broad daylight, while reading a Minecraft Handbook. Breathing a sigh of relief, he went about playing with trains. He vowed never to create ghost train stories again. Broome Manor couldn't blame him and neither can I.😱👻

      That's the best example of the usually cringe - making "As I write in my new book..." I shall have to borrow it if I may.
      Many thanks for your efforts which are unnervingly consistently top banana and often enlightening too: how have I got this deep into my allotted span without hearing of a clack valve?

    Cooooooool!
    Not having a space in the title though kinda makes me think of a locomotive purposely designed to be a piece of garbage though.
    "Leaks and explodes more than any other-- GUARANTEED!
    Pulls less than HALF IT'S OWN WEIGHT AT NO MORE THAN .001 MILES PER HOUR AND ONLY WHEN THE WIND BLOWS!!
    Costs triple the amount of any other!
    It's the all new Scrapman 7200, by D-Rail!"
