A union pacific gp38 and sd40-2 being sent to Australia to help in coal for a while the ship they were on got caught in a terrible storm which lead the sd40-2 and gp38 to get on the island of sodor no one on the island knows the technology of 70's locomotives made by emd including the special sd40-2 electrical system they also questioned the knuckle couplers on the locomotives and their shape no one in Europe has ever used a hood unit (a locomotive with a short hood the front and the long hood the back which have windows making it easier for engineers to see both ends removing the need to a double ended cab unit used by Europeans and the fact that there are already high hods with double end controls in the cab making it controllable on both ends and on double ended control units the front of the locomotive is on the long hood not the short hood which is often referred to the nose) they try to add buffers and 3 chain couplers but they dont know how to remove the couplers cause they are built on to the frame after building an attachment which connects to the knuckle couplers which on it have the 3 chain couplers they start using their diesel fuel which works fine with the emd locomotives the engines were soon put to work and they put on a good job being able to pull up to 90 vans and wagons ( up to 60 boxcars and freight cars) it impressed many and made the big engines jealous that the emd sd40-2 and gp38 can pull more cars than them (the emd sd40-2 and gp38 were made to pull mainline over 1 mile long trains but were replaced with bigger more powerful mainline diesels like the sd60's sd70's ge dash 7's dash 8's dash 9's ac4400cw's ac6000cw's and gevos which are modern mainline locomotives with over 4400 hp) the diesels did well impressing the fat controller who sought to buy them after they were sent back to th us the dat controller contacted emd to buy 15 gp38's and sd40-2's emd had some laying around and emd got them back in running order with added buffers and 3 chain couplers emd kept them as hood units and the 16 engines were sent to sodor where they would stay forever emd also sent over 50k emd gp38 and sd40-2 engine parts and thought maintenance workers on sodor how to operate and repair them and emd sent 28 fuel tanks and over 600k gallons of diesel fuel and 11 nathan p5's and leslie rs3l's the engines got to work making up for lost time on the freight they didn't pull passenger trains and only did freight work (the gp38 and sd40-2 were meant for freight only the sd40-2p sd45p fp45's sdp4pf's gp40p's and some other emd locomotive variants with he letter p in it were meant for passenger service the sdp40f was an unsuccessful amtrak sd40-2 variant that derailed alot cause of the 3 axle trucks meant for freight and the steam heat generator in the back causing harmonic vibrations leading to passenger cars jumping the tracks) anyways if you thinks its a good fit you can add it in comicfan 1234
"It begins with Talyllyn and ends with Talyllyn"
Its all Talyllyn?
Always has been.
Man there were a lot of 100 birthdays for the North Western, and yes Toby being younger than James is a crime of how wrong it is. And happy early birthday to Scotty and Rex
Also I like Dave the do-not-steal engine it reminds me of coldsteel the hedgehog (mostly because of the purple and the “do not steal” bit)
I can imagine a few preserved engines on separate heritage railways who wants to go to Sodor to work for example several A4s, black fives, Ivatts, and mostly the 9fs.
In summary, here's what could happen (along with stuff I think could happen)
At some point, Sir Stephen Topham Hatt retires, with his son, Richard Hatt, becoming the Fat Controller.
2012 - A crew from Nitrogen Studios arrives on Sodor to take measurements on the engines of the Skarloey Railway. This is during the development of Blue Mountain Mystery, and they wanted accurate measurements for their 3D models. However, Duncan wasn't measured as he was away at the time. At some point in this decade, Mavis celebrates her 60th year in service. Sodor celebrates the Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee.
2013 - James celebrates his 100th year in service. The Fat Controller finally purchases a saddle tank to use on the Arlesdale Branch.
2014 - Duncan expresses disgust for his portrayal in CGI, as they weren't able to take measurements due to him being away. The TV Series celebrates its 30th anniversary, and in celebration, the Skarloey Railway holds an event wherein the engines are repainted to look how they are on TV. This upsets Duncan, as he was painted yellow, but the colour eventually grows on him. Eventually, the event ends and the Skarloey engines are repainted back to their red liveries. At the same time, Toby celebrates his 100th year in service, and the North Western Railway celebrates its 100th anniversary. However, some sad news comes from the Bluebell Railway, as Stepney is withdrawn from service after his main steam pipe had failed.
2015 - This year marks the 70th anniversary of the Railway Series, and in celebration, the TV Series makes a full-length special called The Adventure Begins, which readapts the first two books of the Railway Series into CGI. An early screening is held at Tidmouth Sheds*, with both humans and engines alike watching the special; the reception was generally positive. Another event that happens is that Edward pulls a special train known as the Awdry Local. Thomas celebrates his 100th year in service, while Stepney, despite being out of commission, celebrates his 140th anniversary. The Skarloey Railway also celebrates its 150th anniversary.
(*How I would imagine that happening is that they would gather the engines outside and blow up a huge inflatable screen, and set up chairs for the human audiences to sit down in front of the engines.)
2016 - Edward celebrates his 120th year in service. The most important event of the year happens in January, where the Flying Scotsman was restored to steam after having been in the works for a decade. Gordon attends the ceremony in Manchester, and the humbly retired express engine proudly sheds a tear seeing his only surviving brother restored to steam.
2017 - Percy celebrates his 120th year in service. Sodor celebrates the Queen's Sapphire Jubilee.
2019 - Henry celebrates his 100th year in service. At some point after this year, Donald and Douglas celebrate their 120th year in service.
2020 - The COVID-19 Pandemic hits Sodor, and as such, the railway's profits take a nosedive from not being able to run very many passenger services. As such, they can't bring in as much coal. Due to this, larger engines that burn more coal, such as Gordon and Henry, are ordered to stay in the shed. Smaller tender engines such as Donald and Douglas are still allowed to operate, but most of the main line work is now being manned by smaller engines such as Thomas and Percy. In addition, the engines have to be sanitized after every run as per government regulations. The engines are getting fatigued and angry, with the big engines often being shut up for weeks at a time. This is only made worse when they hear about All Engines Go, which enrages a few of the engines. One bright thing that happens this year is the 75th anniversary of the Railway Series. In celebration, the North Western occasionally sends its famous engines down the main line to show them off to the public from a safe distance. This event is also streamed online to the rest of Britain and the world for those who are stuck at home. To try to end the year on a good note, the crewmen of the railway bring Christmas decorations into Tidmouth Sheds so that the engines can celebrate Christmas together.
2021 - The Talyllyn Railway becomes part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
2022 - As travel restrictions are lifted, a sense of normalcy has begun to return, and Gordon and Henry are finally let out of the shed. Coincidentally, Gordon is let out on his 100th birthday. Sodor celebrates the Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Duncan and Peter Sam leave for the Talyllyn Railway to celebrate the Awdry Extravaganza. Visitors can pay a small fee to drive Duncan for a bit, to which he complains about "these unprofessional drivers operating me!". Peter Sam pulls a special picnic train for the event. However, some sad news comes to Sodor in September of this year, announcing that Queen Elizabeth II had passed away. Soon after, King Charles III pays a visit to Sodor on his first visit as king.
2023 - The Flying Scotsman celebrates his 100th birthday, as does Rex. Perhaps Scot goes to Sodor for a special celebration held in his honour. Meanwhile, Sodor witnesses the coronation of King Charles III, the first coronation to happen in 70 years.
1. Sir Stephen Topham Hatt III would be about 82 years old by now. Would he still be the Fat Controller, or would he have retired and let Richard take over the role by this point?
2. Brexit. How would that have affected the NWR as a whole?
3. The Queen's passing would have affected the engines, I'm sure. Many of them had the chance to meet her, and probably would have been saddened to know she passed on.
4. In the digital era, what would the engines' interactions with internet and media be like? Would the engines have their own Twitter accounts? Does the NWR host Zoom meetings or Reddit QnAs with the engines?
Don't forget.
Russian Invasion of Ukraine. How would the NWR react?
It was said that Stephen Hatt retired around the mid 2000s and Richard Hatt became Sir Topham Hatt IV. Maybe by the 2020s there would be a Sir Topham Hatt V
@@Sonic57053 Really? That's interesting - I've never heard of that before. It would make sense that there would be a Sir Topham Hatt V sometime this decade...
@@heylinspongesprite Well.... Not yet. Sir Stephen Topham Hatt retired in the 2000s and Richard Hatt becomes Sir Topham Hatt IV throughout the 2000s & present day.
Aside from that, Pip & Emma discover that their brothers & sisters have been retired between 2019-2020. Most of the Class 125s would either be scrapped or transfered to other Railways.
Since the Flying Scotsman celebrated his 100th Birthday IRL, I would think that in the Post-RWS Timeline would be different. Gordon would reuinite with his brother once more for a special event.
@@Sonic57053 In my headcanon West Coast Railways takes over the NWR sometime after 2016.
I’m sure Henry would have more than a thing or two to say about being written out of the show during BWBA
Ironically though I feel like Edward wouldn’t have much of an opinion on it. Sure he probably wouldn’t like the decision, but it wouldn’t affect him as a working engine
R.I.P. railway series
1945-2011
"Let's call him Dave, the do not steal engine."
Love it
Given how the queen died, I'm sure the engines and the railway would pay tributes to her and receive a visit from King Charles III.
Agreed.
Agreed
Agreed
agreed
In 2013, The Talyllyn newest diesels Trecwn and St Cadfan entered service so I imagine they would have had their own Skarloey counterparts ( Which I have named Glennock and St Machan )
Oh oh idea. Pip and Emma the Class 43s. And how that the real world Class 43s or Thier siblings being retired region by region. Like how there is a story about Gordon getting sad about his siblings and what not.
And Gordon talks to them "I know how you feel" angle. And Pip saying "Yes, Gordon we did one last train from London to Sodor".
Emma "Yeah, saying goodbye to Kings Cross was very emotional".
Gordon blunk "Did you say Kings Cross " with a smile.
Then a follow up story about the Class 43 and their varied routes, mentioning how London has multiple terminal stations including Paddington .
I'm sure the engines and their crews would be saddened by the death of Michael Angelis back in 2020
Brilliant video. I did imagine a similar scenario with covid affecting the railway's income, which was where one of my OCs come in and helped raised enough funds to get various NWR engines that are out of service back up and running.
As for the Awdry Extravaganza, I'm pretty sure Sir Handel was there too. He didn't get to do much unfortunately since like his twin Sir Haydn, he was having problems. But he managed to double-head trains with Peter Sam.
I think that there would be more diesel worked trains to / from the mainland with Direct Rail Services running the goods traffic. At some point since 1996 the China Clay Works closed following a landslide and was later rebuilt as a heritage centre, with Edward working tourist trains on the Brendam branch. I imagine that since STH retired (in the early 2010s) that a merger with West Coast Railways could have happened (since 2016) with Direct Rail Services working as well with their Class 37s & push pull coaches. These would run on the Brendam branch and another Class 37 would be stationed at Wellsworth as a spare / banking loco. Another InterCity 125 may have been bought or hired to run alternately with Pip & Emma while the steam engines have been relegated to a more heritage role. The WCRC Barrow - Tidmouth services would be run with Class 47s mainly with 37s and Black 5s (including Henry) putting in appearances. I wrote James, Donald & Douglas out; D & D have gone back to Scotland several times since 1998 (when DRS took over the goods trains) before a final retirement to a Scottish heritage railway at some point since 2011. James isn't may favourite character but I don't think he should be scrapped; he enjoys not pulling goods trains any more but is a bit small for the excursion traffic. He could be used as a pilot engine on the steam hauled tourist trains though in front of Henry, Gordon and the Black 5s though. I like the idea of some of the vintage engines being restored to heritage liveries for their anniversaries, while Edward (whose workload has considerably reduced since the china clay works closed) could visit the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway in Cumbria...
1:25 Not only Duncan, they must have got their measurements from Sir Haydn and not Sir Handel because in the CGI series, Sir Handel has the updates cab and not the original Falcon cab that he has in the books
I like how the engines in Railway Series are more cynical than in the series and critical with their representations.
Other ideas for Railway series style stories either in the time given or future
1- (Kinda piggyback off someone's idea, but seemed too good not to do) With the popularity of the engines reaching a new peak as old fans keep the old style alive while adding new stuff to it, in the same vein the Hat family kept steam alive while innovating, I'd like to believe there would be a story where one of the drivers mentions their new online fame and Sir topham hat would have dedicated accounts made for the engines ran by their crews to attract more customers. For the big "accident" of the story, have maybe one of the big engines (I personally would choose James cause it'll be funny) decide to have their crew tweet out a controversial statement about railways that gets them canceled. And when I mean canceled, i mean as far as you can go in a kids book like this.
2- Basically, do the NWR1991 story about Thomas learning about the reboot. Maybe some changes to the story, but keep the overall plot.
3- Considering that they never mention this engine in the books for the time this happened, maybe have a story where Tornado visit the island. Like how willbert visited the railway. Maybe have the overall conflict be that tornado is also a pompous big engine, but rather than for any status, how about give him a hero complex where he sees himself as the new face of steam that keeps steam alive.
4- Maybe in the time frame where Duncan and Sir Handel visit the tally klin railway, their real life counterparts visit the skarloey railway to help fill in the rolls.
I'm suprised that the rising price of fuel didn't lead to more diesels coming in.
Also, I feel like you could have had Luke come into existence as a small engine brought on to help the other small engines during the 2020s
Yeah I could’ve.
By this time I imagine West Coast Railways has taken over the NWR in my headcanon, the steam locos are in a more heritage role now...
Great video 👍 I’ve been thinking about how the pandemic would’ve affected the railway. Personally in my head canon the new fat controller (who’s a woman) couldn’t afford to keep her engines in perfect condition unwillingly to sell or scrap them she allowed rich fans to become co-owners of an engine of their choosing. For me I bought Henry, Donald & Douglas while Edward & Gordon was bought by some guy from San Francisco.
2023-2024 The new LNER opens a new Azuma service from London to Sodor called the Awdry Direct, and Class 800s are now frequenting Knapford or Vicarstown.
This was really nice! 2020 in particular you can make a whole book about. I do have some thoughts on real life history that might be able to create interesting points in timeline as well.
While I know you didn't want to talk about politics for very good reason, I'm sure brexit must have had some effect on sodor. While relatively isolated and small, it is still part of the United Kingdom.
I also wonder if older steam engines would be up to the task of pulling modern equipment and freight. Would engines be upgraded with knuckle couplings? How would they feel about that? Can some of the heavier trucks even work on sodor's main line?
I also get the feeling that during this time we might have some permanent retirements. Not just taking off important duties like Gordon but possibly reduced to static display. After all these are very old engines, and with boiler certificates expiring and parts becoming difficult to manufacture, it might be a good idea to just keep some engines on ice for a while. For some reason my head goes to Skarloey and Henry, and well Henry would definitely complain bitterly, I think Skarloey would take it in stride.
And finally, let's talk about coal. Recently there was a new initiative by the British government for cleaner environmental standards and that affected a lot of heritage railways, in particular the talyllyn, which had a whole series on UA-cam about trying to find a good replacement. Now imagine doing that for an engine meant to go down an 80 mile main line.
RIP Duncan Donuts Cause of death: Not being in BMM
I don’t know what that means
Wait if Duke lives on the skr how come he wouldn't be measured by nitrogen studios for him to appear same with Fred and Ivo Hugh
Because Mattel probably wouldn't have bothered to go all the way to the island, so they went to the tallylyn instead
Because Mattel doesn't care on characters like Duke, BoCo, etc.
@@theflyingkipper42 Or maybe said characters could've been in pieces being overhauled at the time, and then they didn't bother to introduce them because marketability or something
@@lokomotion726 knowing Fred, he was probably off lazing about some place not bothering to let somebody take his measurements. And knowing Duke, he'd be too stuck up to let himself be in the CGI series at the time, saying "It would never suit his grace".
Same reason they weren’t in the movie: They didn’t feel like adding them
That was MIGHTY FINE INCREDIBLE!!! A very thoughtful idea on what could've been happening on Sodor since the last book of the RWS was published. Though if I may Mister, I wouldn't just have only the NWR Engines be focused on, but more of what else could've been occurring on the island, such as DR No.9 Fred for instance, or some of the people who live there. In my eyes, during Centenary events, I'd have the engines painted into special Heritage Liveries, mimicking their originals from when they were first built or as a homage to that particular railway.
I don’t know why everyone says Gordon is retired. He still pulls the on island express trains while Pip and Emma go from Sodor to london
He’s retired from Express service. Instead he has local stopping trains across the mainline
If I’m being honest, you would come up with some pretty cool stories to continue the railway series.
All very interesting theories! Thanks for sharing. Thomas and Friends and the Railway Series are both amazing!
Great video! I also like to think that there's a lot of engines on NWR(and I mean A LOT)(because there's "At least 80 engines on the NWR") and some of them like: "why im not in the show", and others are fine with it.
A video 'no asked for' but one everyone wanted.
I didn't know i needed this until now
This was the camel that broke the back of my Thomas hesitancy.
you forgot about Michael Angelis in 2020
Rip to the legend
Imagine when BMM came out the thin controller decided to build an engine and base it of Luke and called him Luke just so people wouldn't stop asking Where's Luke? Now that would be Hilarious
I could see him doing something like this, but only if he was already planning on building a new engine. Mr. Percival doesn’t come across as the kind of guy to sell out in such a major faction as to make a fully sentient engine purely to tie in with a movie.
Something similar to the royal engine could very well happen considering Dutchess is literally a real life engine Duchess of Sutherland an engine who is still in service as of this moment and was doing rail tours across the UK.
Cool man
a story could be made where rusty complained about me complaining about how LOUD HE WAS!
edit: i made chatgpt write a story like that excepted it emded with a set of buffers collapsing
These events really inspire some story ideas..
Thanks
@@comicfan1324 No, it's me who should thank you! You wait and see. Perhaps one day I could write a decent story out of this! Especially the Duncan ones.
James was built in 1912, not 1913. And I think that Thomas would be rebuilt into a proper E2 to celebrate his centenary because Thomas is one of the E2 tank engines with extended side tanks built in 1915 after all.
Good Idea!
@auraknight1004 James is built in 1913 in my au not 1912
Epic
Also in 2012 sir Handel's brother sir haydn went away for overhaul and wouldn't come back until 2018 so the controller of the talyllyn railway would ask the thin controller if he could borrow one of his engine until sir haydn returned from overhaul
SIR HANDEL HAD MAH FREAKIN FACE-
I wonder what else happened. Maybe Percy came to work on the Brendam Branch? Or Mike fell of the ballast hopper?
Those would be interesting stories, but since there’s no real evidence to support that happening, I chose to leave more episodic events out of the timeline.
@@comicfan1324 and that's the issue. No proof...
The Snowdon railway (culdee fell basis) coaches were replaced by new ones in 2012. I wonder if the culdee fell ones were replaced too or are they still there?
Few questions
Will this be updated?
And can I use some ideas for a video?
You forgot the death of the Queen that was a chocking event for them all so the railway wasn't running trains for about a week
I don't know if this comment will be noticed, but if so, do you think you could also do a timeline of the railway series from 1997 to 2011?
Wouldn’t Pip and Emma be handling the express to Barrow-in-Furness in the from 2020-Present if less fuel is being used?
Maybe
mabye there could of been another thin controller, since he could of been retired?
I asked for more TTTE what if yesterday.
I guess I didn’t get any notification about that
@@comicfan1324 Can you start doing more now?
Like most things, life was good on Sodor before 2020.
I’m calling it. This stuff did happen.
Ok but how about the Queen’s death. That has to be a major event in the Railway series right?
As I said before, I didn’t want to trivialize a real life death by adding it in a Thomas the Tank Engine timeline.
Great! now all we need is to wait like 9 years from now
So we can make rws 2023-2033
4:07 I’d love to see that.
*Luke might be in the rws if it never ended (blue mountain)*
*nia would not be in the steam team but a engine to help out for the zoo (helping out the zoo)*
*rebecca is gonna be a mainline engine painted green. (welcome rebecca!)*
*Samson is just gonna be a background engine but he does have a story (samson)*
*Sam is gonna come to sodor and gordon gets jealous (gordon gets jealous)*
*Ashima comes to sodor and helps out everyone (helping out)*
*Raul is gonna be a shunting engine (shunting in the yards)*
*thats all!*
I love everything about this idea, I would love this a sequel series. What could the name of it be?
I would probably just call it “the continuing adventures of the railway series”
Great video, but did the engines hear about FNaF around Halloween?
If they did, they would have no idea what it is. Trains probably don’t really understand a lot of human entertainment.
@@comicfan1324 interesting lol
5:20 oh no
Can I use your idea of what would have happened in 2020 for sodor and credit you?
Feel free
@@comicfan1324 Thanks!
also is sodor fallout and shed 17/project g-1 fanmade stories in railway series as well if so what would the engine think about those dark stories
I imagine they would exist in the universe as online stories. However just like Bigfoot or SCP‘s they’re just meant to be a bit of fun spooky stories and not meant to be taken seriously.
2012: i was born
2013: engines fucking mad after discovering their stories were ded
2014: blugh
2015-2018: nothing too see here
2019 IS THIS BWBA?
2020-2022 : oof
2023: queen dies :0
bro made a purple train named dave without saying anything about dsaf
Can we do another one of those soon 2023-2026
2022: A washing plant in Wales brakes bringing a premature end to the supply of welsh coal, combined the invasion of Ukraine ruining plans to import coal Russia, the UK experiences a coal shortage.
I have a head cannon that during 2020 the engines were forced to wear face mask
This is basically what if Thomas the tank engine was real and I kinda love it.
The railway series did pride itself and being heavily based on real life, in fact most of the stories in the original books are loosely based on real life events, it just happens that in The stories the trains happen to be alive.
Theeen the war began, Queen died and shit went south quickly
Some thing I would love to do if I got the rights to raiwlay seriers and tv seriers would be to set the show in modern world and seening how the railway and the engines deal with the time off change
Sheesh, you can’t do a Scottish accent 😆 - good video!
I tried
Somewhere whether Percy was built in 1897 or 1910 there would be some anniversary for him.
It’s never been confirmed when Percy was built, and I personally doubt the green caterpillar is older than Thomas and Gordon considering how unexperienced he seems in “Percy runs away“. He doesn’t even realize stopping on the main line and waiting there is a bad idea, so to me it always read like Percy was fresh out of the works.
@comicfan1324 I would have percy be built in 1944 he arrives on sodor in 1946
I do have to wonder: How does Sir Richard Topham Hatt's Twitter factor into this?
I think he’d be very professional
How would they react to hearing about the Big Boy (4014) returning to steam here in the US I wonder? Sure it doesn't affect them in any way, still it makes you wonder
“Oh, that’s good to hear. Anyway…”
Make a part 2 in 2031 pls pls do this!!!!!🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
i wished thomas went all around the world in the rws, cause i wnder how christopher awdry feel about ending the rws when thomas finally went all around the world, cause i wonder how rev w awdry, david mitton, george carlin react to thomas went all around the world
freddie was gonna appear in bmm and series 16 but was cut
There are ways it could’ve worked, but you would have to suspend your just beliefs a lot. Especially considering different countries have different kinds of rails, there’s no way Thomas would be able to visit every continent without major overhaul‘s. He would be gone from Sodor for at least a decade if big world big adventures did happen
@@comicfan1324 if Thomas did go all around the world it's unknown which countries would he go to
@@comicfan1324 if Thomas did go all around the world it's unknown which countries would he go to
@@comicfan1324 America, Mexico, Australia, China, Peru, Italy and Egypt would still be possible.
What about the Alresdale Railway getting a new engine from Spain like the Ravenglass & Eskdale
I was expecting this to explain that they all died or something
“ As the final book came to a close, lady descended from the heavens and stated ‘ your job is done’ and poofed them all away.’
I was talking about in gruesome murder
You kinda sound like the unlucky tug😊
I think that the uk floods, heatwave and Russian-Ukrainian war should have been mentioned
I wasn’t sure how these tragedies would directly affect Sodor and it’s railway.
In 2021 was gordon 100 years
Actually, he was built in 1922.
But in the island of sodor book said that he was built in 1921 as à prototype just like Henry in 1923 the lner sold gordon to sodor
Dave is probably going to be stolen
3:30 So wrong? Machines aren't humans you know.
What I mean is that Toby is treated as an old geezer well James is a hothead. As such it feels odd that James is actually older.
@@comicfan1324 Some reach their elderly years sooner than others.
I was afraid of all engines go
Hold up Thomas is older then Edward and James and Toby
No. Edward is about 19 years older than Thomas. Toby is 1 year older than Thomas. and James is 2 years older than Thomas.
However Thomas is older than Gordon and Henry.
@@comicfan1324 Thomas is an E2 tank engine witch makes him older then Toby and James
i saw peter griffin
Glad to see someone finally noticed
What about the queen dying ?
In hindsight, I probably should’ve mentioned that since there were apparently a few days the railway shut down in morning, but at the time I didn’t want to make light of the queen‘s death.
How small tender engine and little tank engine go outside there need ues mask
The Engines can’t get sick. But they can carry diseases that can infect their passengers, so they have to get cleaned regularly.
I think they had a vote to rejoin the European Union
I'd still like to think engines wearing masks on their faces during 2020.
If that’s how you’d like to see it, you can. I just don’t see the point seeing as the engines aren’t organic and as such can’t be infected by diseases.
What about Percy’s anniversary
He doesn’t have an official build date
@@comicfan1324 maybe say somewhere around 1900-1910
So Percy don’t have a birthday
@@TankEngineMedia
I highly doubt he was built before Thomas, Gordon, and Toby. Simply put, and engine who had been working for decades before coming to Sodor should know not to wait on the mainline.

More accurately we just don’t know when it was.
How would the invasion of Ukraine affect the NWR
now we need 2023 and 2024.
(also u said NOTHING bout the vaccine. sad D: )
To be fair, I said things were going back to normal. So I thought it was implied. But I suppose I should have said it to be clear
The pandemic gets all the engine sick and the railway has to invest in engine sized masks
It’s well established that trains can’t get sick. But they can carry diseases to their passengers.
@@comicfan1324 well they can, but have “artificial” sicknesses

Queen Elizabeth-
I didn’t want to potentially come across as I was making light of a real life person‘s death by placing it in a Thomas the Tank Engine timeline, however considering Thomas & Friends is set in the UK and the queen did appear in the series a few times perhaps I should’ve brought it up? I was still on the fence about that.
@@comicfan1324 I don't know much about British railways so I'm not sure exactly how much Queen Elizabeth's death in real life played into them so you probably were ok leaving it out.
But on the other hand, Sir Topham Hatt, Charles Topham Hatt, the Thin Clergyman, and the Duke of Sodor all had canon deaths because Awdry didn't want to talk down to the children reading. I know Queen Elizabeth was real and those characters were not (except the Thin Clergyman), but I don't think it would've been inappropriate or making light of her death to include it in the video. (Great vid BTW)
What about bwba
Oh I’m sure if they heard about Thomas turning into an elephant they would also be quite annoyed
What about the diesels? Doesn’t BoCo ever get a story for himself? Does Daisy find herself with a coach of her own like in real life? Does Mavis find herself teaching anew quarry diesel how to work properly? Does Bear finally get a story for himself? Does Derek, Salty, Paxton or Philip come into the RWS material.🫣
