      It's hard to compare, seeing as their souls inhabit objects who can be repaired but cannot heal, but this seems to be like a tibia breaking through your skin and sinew, but you resetting the bone, redistributing the weight on your hips, and marching home on your knees.

    Indeed one of Awdry's finest. However I feel it would have been more convenient, if the Fat Controller would not have been left unknown of why they were taking so long before they returned. They could have had the nearest signalman send a message ahead to the Big Station. But that does not hinder the story essentially.

    This story here is amongst the most remarkable to the importance of Edward, his character personality, and his overall journey throughout the series. It ain't no secret at all towards my opinion of why I think Edward is the true protagonist of the Railway Series. The good qualities a character like him is why he's such a poetic justice in representation to a love letter for steam trains everywhere in the world.

    • @HolyKhaaaaan
      @HolyKhaaaaan 7 років тому +12

      Because one of the pins holding the one on his left broke, and apparently they hadn't the wherewithal to repair or replace the pin. The left rod is what wrecked his body; so they took it off. They had to take the other one off as well; I suspect you must connect both sides of the axle for traction rods to work properly.

    Question. Why did the producers of the TV Series Disney-fy episodes like 'Steam Roller' and 'Toad Stands By' to a point where the phrase 'shut up' got replaced with 'be quiet'? There is no Disneyfication in this episode where that phrase gets mentioned again [anyone would think Duck could've said in the adaptation: 'Keep quiet!' OWTTE], or 'Dirty Work' when Duck bangs the trucks.
