@@karenfan010 i never liked Fowler tenders

In original RWS you can clearly see Henry in the sheds in some scenes, he locked himself in the tunnel before James I think. And this is primarily non canon and just a little test pf editing and recording

@@TS1402Ed i know but I’m making due with what I’ve got, and the area between the shed junction is a farmland soooo

@@Deranged_Shunter Thats still not behind the station entrance, still good.

Eh fair enough

kzbin.infoUgkxM7LJDeUwwqVS5EqSUDC5x4VUh2lTaUAo?si=ct5aSazTXY3M2Tfg The post explains it

Tarquin's his Name, the engine's a Highland Railway P class, AKA a Yankee tank. which is why the episode's titled Highland Newcomer! Thanks for commenting!

@@Deranged_Shunter You're welcome! The narrator needs to talk a little louder.

@@MarcusArline-rk1td there *is* no narrator lol

@@Deranged_Shunter I see!

@@Anton-b6s Skarloey probably had enough and threw him into a rail museum but because of the narrow gauge they threw him back

@@Fgeographytopics579 Stephen’s faceless and in the Railway museum in this Hc

@Deranged_Shunter ik but technically remember that cgi Stephen and rws Stephen could be the same engine since both of them (I think) are based on the working replicas

@@Deranged_ShunterNeil tho

@@WC_Audio-Stories made a post about it already, Skarloey’s oldest operating on sodor and Neil’s in the museum as a static piece

Specifically oldest *operating* engine for Skarloey as Neil, the old box (that should be floating down a river lol) is in the museum and out of service at Tidmouth, imma add it in a video update sometime

Agreed and same here, he shares his throne with Mighty Mac

Could you elaborate? I'm a bit curious to hear your way of writing him in.

@@Deranged_Shunter okay so. Various cities on the Mainland took a heavy beatings during the blitz. So the wartime coalition government reconned many engines from all Britain to help with railway construction. 6 of these engines were Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James and Percy of the NWR (a railway separate from the Big Four that served the Crown Dependency of Sodor). Sir Topham Hatt, severely down on engines, was able to strike deal with JNR to bring one of their D51’s over on wet lease. This engine was Hiro (who was called the “Master of the Railway”) When Hiro arrived at Brendam Docks in late 1940-early 1941, Sir Topham made up a white lie that Hiro was the first engine on the Island in some sort of attempt to keep Hiro happy whilst he was on Wet Lease (Sir Topham changed it to the first Standard Gauge engine after Hiro had quite the discussion with Rheneas). Hiro almost immediately got to work and became a reliable and vital asset to the running of the NorthWestern But one day, Hiro broke down whilst pulling the Express and the men at the Crovan’s Gate Works (now the Steamworks) didn’t know or have right parts to fix him. So Sir Topham had to specially order the rights parts and engineers to come from Japan to repair Hiro (Whilst having Adam, Colin and Lily come out of retirement to help run the NWR, as no way he would allow Alfred and Crovan to come back). Hiro was placed in an old siding between Killdane and Crovan’s Gate by Judy, Jerome and Joseph (my OC of the Works Unit Coach) But whilst Hiro was waiting for the men and parts to arrive, there was trouble in paradise! Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbour and Britain’s subsequent declaration of war. The men and parts couldn’t get to Hiro, so the Master of the Railway was left to rust. And in mid-March of 1942, Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James and Percy returned to Sodor, Sir Topham and the other railway workers didn’t tell any of them about Hiro and eventually forgetting about him altogether. So he was left abandoned and forgotten and lone, until about 1964 when the Duke and Duchess of Boxford arrive on the Island with their private engine Spencer to build their new summer home. Proceed with the events of “Hero of the Rails” and Hiro arrives back in Japan just in time for the Tokyo Olympics. Hiro stays back home in Japan to continue his working life, only leaving twice to Represent Japan at the 1968 Great Railway Show (a big celebration of Railways around the World to mark the end of regular Steam usage on British Rails) and to accompany a nervous and homesick Bullet-Train named Kenji at the 1971 Sudrian World of Tomorrow Exhibition at Vicarstown (no giant dancing robots included) However, he is scheduled to come back to Sodor next year as an international guest to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the Railway Series My Thomas series is set in the between 1970 and 1979

@@miscellaneoussarnian5282 Here it’s based much MUCH earlier, Hiro and the NWR never really cross paths at all and he ended up being preserved in a museum. The NWR on the other hand Started in 1916 (grouping act) where it formed from the W&S, S&M, TK&CR (Tidmouth Knapford & Crosby), and due to their costly to maintain engines they sold them to join the lines together (Crosby to Wellsworth, Wellsworth to Maron, Kellsthrpe. To Killdane) and then loaned other engines, such as 98462, Alfred (chose to get renamed to Louis during a Repaint), the Red engine, the red Pacific, Tarquin the HR P class, 97546 (a J15), Arthur, Henry, Edward, Thomas, Gordon and James. 98462 would be loaned the longest, Louis bought, Arthur bought later for the Norramby line, etc and I cannot say the rest, as that’s a story for another day ;)

Many people choose to ignore it as it was retconned multiple times later in the show.

He’s also in a museum so Skarloey’s the oldest *operating* engine

Thomas Toby Edward the coffee pots

@@James_no-5 Edward was built in the 1890, Toby is 1883, Thomas is a later E2 in 1920s and the coffee pots are scrapped. Also is that the CGI canon or something?
