- Return of the Shed! I'm back with new content as last!
This story is free to use so do whatever you wish with it! I've done my best to recapture the Series 7 feel, with the exception of my vocal performance, so I hope you'll enjoy what could have been a better episode for the little engines.

OK, why is this already better than the ACTUAL The Old Bridge story!? That Duncan and Rusty friendship continuity after Rock n Roll.
This feels like the canon version of the Old Bridge.
Poor Duncan cant go across a bridge without something embarrassing or traumatic happening to him...
For a sec I thought this was going to take place after "Duncan gets spooked".
Does nobody think Sir Handel is perfect to be the lead for The Old Bridge? It makes perfect sense for him to be afraid of heights after almost falling off a cliff in Bulldog
Sir Handel didn’t get a large scale model until season 10, so they would have to make a new larger model for him because the small scale season 4 models were too difficult to work with. I’m a bit in the middle as to whether I like the idea of Sir Handel being in Skarloey’s place though.
@@joshuaW5621 I’m well aware of that and it’s a huge shame since Sir Handel is my favorite narrow gauge engine. What I mean is if they COULD have used him for the episode then they should have
@@ryhi5 yeah they could, but I guess it might work either way. Maybe you might like to see me do do a version of the Old Bridge with Sir Handel.
@@joshuaW5621 I would definitely like to see that
What I really would have liked is if they Flipped the script of Bulldog and had Sir Handel rescue Duke.
This must take place after trusty Rusty after Duncan and Rusty become friends.
I've never been a fan of Duncan's 'regression' in that episode, but yeah I intended for this to take place after Trusty Rusty :D I like to think Duncan's had all these bad experiences with bridges and this accident is the last straw for him. The fact it was never turned into a character arc feels like such a missed opportunity.
I love this! I already really like The Old Bridge but making it about Duncan is even better! I like to see this as the end of Duncan and his bad luck with bridge's too as i think that'd be a nice end to it! I love how rescuing Rusty is what made Duncan go across the bridge again too
Thanks! Duncan absolutely deserved this story. I think if this had been a 2 part story it could have worked for Skarloey, taking more time to show that he's still the Skarloey we all know and love.
@mechanicalshed4556 no problemo :D Yeah, Duncan definitely deserved it as it would've been a nice way to end the theme of Duncan and his problems with bridges. Oooooooooooh a 2 part story would've been neat. I do think the actual episode needed more time maybe 7 minutes?
This was a nice rewrite of the original story. I really enjoyed it. Great job.
I've actually been wanting to rewrite The Old Bridge, kinda like this version, but through the beginning, Duncan and Rusty switch places, where Rusty is hanging on for dear life and Duncan saving him, but Duncan has some traumatic thoughts of his past with the other bridge, so he doesn't dare go on the bridge. So he would be effected by the impact instead of Rusty. But I would probably concider this rewrite better.
Thanks! Should still give your idea a shot, sounds like an interesting twist and it'd be cool to see how it plays out :D
Thank you for the kind words, i'll give my best shot when I one day learn how to edit videos. 😁
Not to mention in the prologue, Duncan had a mishap on a bridge in the episode, trusty Rusty, set in the same season as old bridge
Duncan: “Help I’m going to fall!”
Im writing a version of Skarloey the brave where Skarloey is replaced with Thomas Jr ( Aeg Thomas) and version of Edward strikes out where Rocky is a high tech robot crane and Edward's hostility twords him stems from his old fashioned beliefs
How about replace Skarloey with Ivo Hugh and Edward with James. Can that work too?
@joshuaW5621 someone already did option two
Awesome job!
Great job
Great work 👍
Thank you! :)
As a thomas fan, I'm glad to have this episode rewritten as this is so much better then the actual episode.
Thanks! Glad to have succeeded in doing it better! 😄
Though I honestly reckon it'd only take some minor tweaks to make it work for Skarloey, and for them to not have him scaredy/childlike in future episodes.
Very good!
what is it with duncan and bridges first he stops on the viaduct (from passengers and polish) witch is a form of bridge then the old iron bridge (from ducan gets spooked) then the out of order wooden bridge (from trusty rusty) and now this
You need to be a Thomas writer
Awh thanks! If the show was still in it's classic or Brenner-era style I'd jump at the chance.
Awdry extravaganza? Is that in England? I'm from Australia
Much better than Rheneas and Skarloey
