A Metropolitan Bo-Bo with added pantographs is such a cool idea. In Japan some retired Tokyo Metro third rail units were fitted with pantographs and sold to rural railways, similar to what happened to King Orry here. :)
That’s so interesting - I had no idea! Japanese railways are so cool. My rationale for King Orry was that, since Metropolitan-Vickers was located at Barrow-in-Furness, they built an experimental diesel with pantographs to test viability for the West Coast Main Line. When it didn’t quite live up to expectations, it was sold to the Fat Controller. It’s nice to know there are real-life examples of this!
Another fantastic story Mike. The story featuring the peel Goddard engines keep getting better and better. Also I liked how you named one of the engines after King Orry's bridge. Of course being named after something or someone is ego is bigger than his pantographs on his head. Overall I can't wait to see what happens to him next keep up the good work man!
We've known steam engines to get fired up from something, but never thought an electric engine would follow in their path! Great story, and I love the introduction of King Orry. He has a sparkling personality, if you get what I mean >wO. Can't wait to see what other mischief the electric engines find themselves in, and well done! (P.S. The reference to the previous story is absolutely golden :D)
if I had a nickel for every time Mike would write about two characters and then bring in a third, more snootier character, to help with the traffic. I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it has happened twice. Jokes aside this is another lovely addition to your ‘Electrical Engine Extravaganza Saga’ King Godred is quite a handful. Although, he got off lightly in this situation. In my opinion, with all the chaos he had caused, on what his first day? I thought for sure the fat controller was going to pull a “Lord Harry” situation and as punishment King Orry would be reffed to as E3 until he redeemed himself or gets sent away in disgrace. But, I guess will have to wait and see what the kings next move will be in this game of chess he seems to be playing. Once again, a lovely addition to your collection looking forward to what you upload next. Also I hope you upload more of these audios they are such a joy to listen to, Even if it’s an old audio story you’ve done they are still a delight. Take care.
I think it could be cool for King Orry to meet BoCo. Their classes were build by the same company, both were reffered to as Metro-Vicks and both were working in Barrow-in-Furness. I smell a rivalry story between an self-entilted experimental one-off rebuiled electrical engine and more respectful, kind diesel. I mean, think about it.
What a wonderful story! Well done! Excellent work and Keep up the amazing work, The Buried Truck! If this story was adapted in the TVS format, what year does this story take place in the timeline, if you don’t mind me asking. I will look forward hearing it from you. 😁👍🏻
This was really not what I was expecting when you mentioned Eleanor and Edith will need help at some point lol. I wonder whats gonna happen with those BR Class 86s and EMUs Chris mentioned (assuming they are canon). Seeing as they run on a different sort of power, DOES THAT MEAN THE 3 ARE GONNA BE REPLACED??? YOU GOT CURIOUS NOW, YOU GOT ME CURIOUS
RBTL has some stuff that is cool to consider canon, but it also has some questionable things, lol. The Class 86s can run with overhead wires, but I have decided on one more engine I want to add that is a different class! They will show up much later though.
I'm curious as to what timeframe these stories take place. I know that 'Edith & The Prince' coincides with 'Paint Pots and Queens', and this story appears to take place soon after, but how far down Sodor's timeline do you plan to take these stories? Most notably, I'm curious to see where the loyalties of the electric engines lie when diesels arrive on Sodor? Incidentally, since Killdane is part of the Peel Godred branch, might that not be an opportunity to introduce Arry & Bert along with the Ironworks?
Trust me, it’s far from over! With the Electric Engines, I’ve decided not to limit myself to four story volumes - I just write stories about them whenever ideas come to mind. That said, King Orry himself will have a little arc - maybe three or four stories long, we’ll see!
@@DaGrounderZone thank you! King Orry is based on a Metropolitan Railways electric engine with added pantographs - which is the cause of his cantankerous nature!
@@Jediah-s6p most are on Twitter, yes. I would like to work through the backlog at some point and get the stories up on UA-cam too, but it’ll happen in due time!
...Well...King Orry's plan definitely did go up in smoke!😆🤣
"Prince" on the newspaper was a nice touch that Streak added.
Great work on the story, by the way!
@@SodorTrain1225 Streak did an AMAZING job - I really can’t imagine anyone else doing illustrations for the electric engines!
@@TheBuriedTruck Agreed.

That certainly sent King Orry's little scheme up in smoke, some pun intended

fitting for this top pop in my recommended after i finished up my Peel Godred roster. excellent as always Mike. Another smashing story.
This story sounds like it should be apart of the Railway Series. Good job.

You done an excellent job with this story. Keep up the good work.
Brilliant story.
An adaption of adapt No Power, No Problem! with the electrics with be pretty cool ngl.
Huh
@@Jediah-s6p The AEG episode.
@@littlebacongreengreatweste2606 I mean it’s not an adaptation
Fantastic story

nice one
Great video and story mate, very good. 👍 can i ask if this is the same King Orry from the Extended Railway Series??
@theburiedtruck
It is not the same one, no - I did clear it with them, though, and they were okay with me using the name!
@@TheBuriedTruck Nice, hope the ERS character profiles become public again in future.

Hay BuriedTruck. I have an idea for a RWS volume. Do you want to hear it?

Hey that's the name of an ERS character. Coincidence?
I was wondering how you'd finish up this little Electric Engines book.
Trust me, it’s far from over! With the Electric Engines, I’ve decided not to limit myself to four story volumes - I just write stories about them whenever ideas come to mind. That said, King Orry himself will have a little arc - maybe three or four stories long, we’ll see!
@@TheBuriedTruck alrighty then.
@@TheBuriedTruck mind if I make sprites of them?
@@champ2stay920 not at all - I would love to see them!
@@TheBuriedTruck Sweet, I always like to get permission first.
Great story as always! Also quick question, what type of engine Orry is based on?
@@DaGrounderZone thank you! King Orry is based on a Metropolitan Railways electric engine with added pantographs - which is the cause of his cantankerous nature!
question, what class is King Orry?
He’s a Metropolitan Railways electric engine with added pantographs!
7:10 - 7:19
Wait.....Poof???
“Poof” as in “up in smoke”! 😂
@@TheBuriedTruck Oh. I see.
Can you make Alled Greedy’s apples and a streak of blue?
@@cachicaldoanimated I’ll try to get to them at some point!
Why are most of your stories not on UA-cam are they on twitter or something?
@@Jediah-s6p most are on Twitter, yes. I would like to work through the backlog at some point and get the stories up on UA-cam too, but it’ll happen in due time!
