  • If something you grew up with still holds up, by all means, don’t abandon it. But I’m a firm believer in recognising and addressing kinks in such things and regarding things the way they are instead of how I remember them. Story structure means a lot to me, I strive to consider appeal from several angles, including but not limited to that of an average railfan, and I have been asked by viewers on many occasions what to my mind works and doesn’t work with various aspects of Seasons 1 to 5 of Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends.

    Honestly, I love your version of the engines/history of Sodor, even though it's not something I'd do in my own head canon.
    Your ideas, modifications and reasonings are extremely interesting in their own right, and researched. Plus you have an excellent presentation voice.
    Side note I think TheUnluckyTug's use of an LNER D26 for his Edward model makes me want to see a purely LNER Sodor (and an LMS version too).

    Very fascinating explanation, the edit of your own take on Gordon is amazing. An LNER Raven A2, with a modified boiler, still has Crewe elements from his rebuilt. I like how you explained how Gordon got his name, originally meant to be called Core but was mistaken for Gordon and so it stuck. Really look forward to see what your ideal characters or history of Sodor is like.

    I love the idea of a Raven A2 on sodor. However... not Gordon. I would personally make 87546 into an A2 for some real hardcore competition to Gordon. But the idea of a one-off A2 rebuild sounds very interesting.

    • @MagicLampStudios

      I do like that look. I'll admit it's too tricky for me to edit. I'm not that good. Maybe one day I will be.
      Plus, High-Speed Gordon was inspired by something that often happen to Stanier pacifics, so if Gordon had Crewe-built valve gear, it'd fit.
      I'm on the fence. For now, I'm just going for a hybrid look.

      OK so update about this. I was looking it over and, I think that, since we have an outside motion in Henry, an inside motion in James. That we *should* have gordon be outside connection inside motion. *BUT* hear me out. Keep him a middle drive couple akin to the GWR engines. Same story, rebuilt at Crew, plus it would lend into the High Speed Gordon case keep closer to the insperation.

  • @exarkun42
    @exarkun42 Рік тому +1

    Wow, the rebuild Raven A2 looks so much like Model series Gordon that it could have been.
    While your take is well thought out, I have a couple of issues with it. First, Gordon arriving in 1922 is important for the continuity, and secondly him being a Gresley A10 is important because he is referred to as Scotsman's brother. I don't think a Raven engine would be called a brother to a Gresley engine.
    Here is my take: in Sodor-verse, Gordon simply takes the place of Great Northern, and the freakouts over the rebuild happened during his canonical rebuild and were directed at the Fat Controller instead of Thompson. I would, however, keep the external Walschaerts gear, so that he still looks like an A10.

    • @ketelieappolon3617
      @ketelieappolon3617 Рік тому

      Cool I like your take on Gordon this is mine:
      He is built in 1923 and is an A1 his lner number is 4473 making him younger then scotsman while gresley was happy with his new designs he originally wanted sloped footplats on them so he tried this on great northern the prototype it is a success so he adds them to Gordon he is sold to sodor where he is nearly blown up by 98462 after he became a psycho then things play out like the railway series and he didn't go to crew to be rebuilt he went to Doncaster after ww2 and was rebuilt but asked the men to keep the sloped footplat to pay tribute to sir nigel gresley and he goes back to sodor in the spring of 1946. And things mostly play out like the railway series and seasons 5 onward once more
