  • To commemorate 75 Years of the Railways Series by Rev. W Awdry. I have created a music video in Railworks using UpsideNow's Gordon Theme. Go check out his channel and his content!
    UpsideNow's Channel: / upsidenow
    This is suitable for all ages and not categorically recognized as for children.
    Thomas & Friends is owned by Mattel. I do not own nor endorse the company or it's products. This is made purely for fun and I am not receiving any money for this.

      I mean fair's fair, let's check the titles of the first four episodes:
      1. Thomas and Gordon.
      2. Edward and Gordon.
      3. The Sad Story of Henry.
      4. Edward, Gordon and Henry.

      Yes this is what the Sodor engines would look like in real life.
      Not sure if any examples of Gordon's class were ever painted blue in BR days...
      Given that a number of Henry's class still exist I'm surprised there has never been a real life Henry!

      @@danielsellers8707 I believe that the Gresley A3’s (what many of the A1s were rebuilt as) were sometimes painted in BR express Passenger blue. The LMS black 5 I believe never actually operated in any liveries that weren’t black. One may have been painted Brunswick green in early preservation days but I’m not sure!

      Actually, if you check our Railway Mania if you haven’t already they’re producing a more realistic version of the Island of Sodor with the main fleet as well as a large number of their own locomotives! They’re on here as railway mania or sudrian spotlight for model showcases!

      The funny thing about that story, and the other Thomas' Train, was that Rev. Awdry based them off of actual events of the Northeastern Railway.
      Apparently in London, there were so many trains coming and going that the railway started uncoupling one train that had arrived and coupling another leaving. On one occasion, the outbound train started without having been coupled up. On another, the incoming train was literally dragged out of the station in reverse by the outbound engine pulling the return train.

    Imagine someone makes a Thomas and Friends animation but the trains a realistic and the characters would be conductors instead.
    After all, Wilbert and the Thomas and Friends franchise in the early days did base some of the events on real life events.
    I also vote for a remasterd version of this video. In a more updated graphically visually improved game.
