I’m actually surprised there was never a story where the other engines got fed up of the twins talking in Scotts behind there back so they go to a Scotsman to translate for them only to find out yes the twins do actually love colourful language
this original story is so much better than the TV adaptation. the crash is much more graphic, Oliver does not get off easy, and we have the Small Railway Engines.
One of my favorite aspects of the railway series is how well the characters' personalities and backstories coincide with their prototypes. It makes perfect sense that a great western autotank would have little experience hauling unfitted goods trains. I would imagine his limited experience with trucks would have mainly included light shunting and partially fitted mixed trains. He must have had some experience with trucks, befriending a brakevan and all though.
Same here! I particularly like the way it was done on the Talyllyn Railway, and the various misadventures there (even though Awdry pinned his own guard mistake on 'Edward Thomas'!)
I love this version of this story. Been to Didcot and rode behind Oliver’s real life counterpart. Isabel and Dulcie would have made good characters for The TV Series.
Some of you may think that Donald and Douglas, and The Fat Controller were rather hard on Oliver in this episode, while the TV version, "Oliver Owns Up," had it more soft. But I, myself, don't at all see them as that hard in this version. Maybe out of character, I will say, but still, they weren't THAT hard here is how I see it.
I prefer this over Oliver Owns Up any day. The Fat Controller and the Scottish twins were way too soft on Oliver in the adaptation. This will always be better than the TV episode.
No offense, but the TV episode is better then this, as Sir Topham Hatt and Donald and Douglas were really out-of-character in the book version, they blamed Oliver for something that was clearly not Oliver's fault, they should have blamed the trucks and not Oliver. (Keep in mind that me thinking Oliver Owns Up is better than Resource and Sagacity is just my opinion, please respect my opinion and I respect your opinion.)
@@GWR3440CityofTruro I think this was in-character as Oliver was being conceited and should've listened to the others advice. He disrupted the turntable making Donald & Douglas annoyed and not having the best of tempers get mad. The trucks were part of the incident but Oliver should've been more careful. And The Tat Controller had a right to be mad as well since that was ballast wasted, an engine needing to go get repaired and two of his engines couldn't turn anymore. (Though this is my opinion)
I find it odd that half the stories in Oliver the Western Engine aren't focused on him(Donald's Duck doesn't have him in the story at all and Bulgy basically has him as a supporting character). I think Little Western Engines would've been a better title.
This is the more fitting ending. Oliver was conceited and too big for his buffers and got a taste of what he was asking for, and put back in his place.
1:40 wait Oliver is an Auto fitted engine, wouldn't it make more sense for Either one of the Autocoaches be at the front of Oliver and other at the Back? It just wouldn't make sense for Isabelle and Dulcie to be at the back unless if It was just a Normal Passenger service with 2 Autocoaches instead of Normal Coaches
I feel like if the budget was higher she probably could have made it. I would be lying if I said it's not weird seeing only Oliver and Toad in the show
The narrow gauge models were tiny compared to the standard gauge. (Look at Sir Handel vs Gordon.) The Arlesdale engines should be the same size if not slightly larger than the narrow gauge engines.
“Donald and Douglas spoke pungently in Scots.” So they cussed out Oliver is what you’re saying.

I never got to see them argue against Oliver’s incident.
God, the sound effects in this make it feel so much more real!

Agree
In all fairness, if that went ahead, the Arlesdale system would be produced using TT gauge track thus representing a 15in gauge system.
If Oliver had come along a decade earlier Gordon, James and Henry would’ve been nowhere near as friendly as they were here.

Their frustration was pretty justified in this version
What is up with Mike's face at 2:49? It's like he's tripping out or something with that weird, cross-eyed look.
Bruh jajajjajajaj
He had some dirty water.
He was concerned for Oliver.

@@gold9523 You do have a point, I respect your opinion as well.
@@gold9523 I mean Duck tried to warn him but Donald told him to let Oliver learn for himself.
So really it’s kinda Donald’s fault too.
Donald and douglas are bilingual confirmed. Possibly even trilingual if they speak sudric
the fat controller and the twins certainly weren’t as forgiving as they were in the tvs.

that’s what awdry wanted to call it, but in the foreword of the book he wrote to his children that the publishers didn’t allow him to call it that
Yes, Isabel was only in BR colours when rescued, the same with Oliver and presumably toad.
didnt know that oliver had coaches . new one on me.
Only in the railway series. In the TV series he only ever seems to pull trucks.
Don't know about you, but I liked the kinder ending of the TV episode.
No argument there. Shows a lot of sympathy for the little guy.
@@DarthWill3 Personally I prefer this ending, as it proves that actions have consequences if you ask me.
@@josephmarrison4606 well saying that actions have consequences and being a dick yo him are different things

So is thomas but he goes the same way
@@RicardoGaming09 IIRC Thomas uses different pull push equipment then what the GWR uses
The wee engine'll just have to learn.
perhaps the guys who owned the TV series before HiT didn't wanna waste their money making models of the Arlesdale Railway engines. who knows
What time does Oliver sing?
At 2:50 look at mike’s face
Sad that Isabel never made it into the show.
SuperflameGP I know.
I feel like if the budget was higher she probably could have made it. I would be lying if I said it's not weird seeing only Oliver and Toad in the show
are isabel and dulcie meant to be creamy-ish and brown like duck's coaches?
thanks
better than tvs
the story toke place in 1968
😄
Its a massive weckre
no the arlesdale engines were too small to be model's
The narrow gauge models were tiny compared to the standard gauge. (Look at Sir Handel vs Gordon.) The Arlesdale engines should be the same size if not slightly larger than the narrow gauge engines.
