A Part Of Me Stayed Behind

DISCLAIMER: This video is made for a GENERAL AUDIENCE; this means that anyone of ANY AGE can enjoy this video.
Out of development hell and into your sub-box, here's my take on A Part Of Me Stayed Behind by Richard Jordan, aka Skarloey123.
As mentioned above, this project was stuck in development hell for a while until recently, when I finally finished this up ready in time for the spooky season.
Once again, a big shout-out to RailMaster63 for providing the narration in this video; he once again did a bang-up job!
Anyhow, enough talk; enjoy the spookiness of one of Richard Jordan's most interestingly bone-chilling tales!

I love how in the flashback Thomas's whistle had the same sound from TATMRR. I personally think it suits him well.

[@TankEngine97]

NGL, the beginning bit did make me jump. This story reminds me of Captain Scarlet. Mainly the bit of Thomas and Gordon having new bodies after the crash. Sort of like how the mysterons would 'recreate an exact likeness of an object or person'.

[@jamesfracasse8178]

Captain scarlet? 0:59

Glad to see a fellow Gerry Anderson fan! - Sid

[@Ryder-a-Blaze]

This must be how Henry got his rebuild at crew, they simply moved his face to a Black 5 locomotive body.

[@PsychoYellowRabbit]

I thought the same as well

[@RhysIndividual]

Even though I've seen the story before, I somehow still managed to get chills from this. I'm impressed by how you managed to make the sight of Thomas and Gordon in the pit look genuinely unsettling even with the limitations of Trainz. Great job!

[@Ilikejamm]

I love how the pilot models were called prototypes, that kinda made me laugh ngl

[@OHNEY]

I feel like this story really let you showcase your filmmaking talents at their best! It’s so refreshing to see something take a departure from the standard Thomas storytelling format.

[@joeleboeuf]

Okay, normally I like the creepy and spooky fan-made Thomas episodes. But this? This is terrifying even for me! 😬

[@weylinwest9505]

It ain't just terrifying for you. This story is ABSOLUTELY terrifying.

[@AnLMSengine]

i am unphased

[@CrisisHedgehog]

The worst part of it reminds me of the fate of the real life counterpart. An engine in the UK fell into mine, a similar way to Thomas only the mine was much deeper to the point of the engine was unrecoverable, and the only way to fix the section of the track was to cover it up. Leaving that engine, trapped under all that soil.

[@IsleofPigsStudios]

Holy Crap… that was……… one of the best adaptations of this creepy story. Well done my friend.

[@astronomical_numbers]

this is the reason why thomas doesn’t look like a e2

[@StocktonSubber]

It’s stories like this that keep me invested in the fandom. This is probably one of the best Thomas horror stories I have seen thus far. Bravo!

[@gojicrushers]

I like the clever use of the pilot models.this story is great and chilling!

[@AlexanderMizera2005]

Jesus Christ. That was a really terrifying adaption. I have ever seen. keep it up.

[@retroversals081]

Holy shit that was fucking amazing. I've always liked the concept of intertwining Thomas and Gordon's pilot models into the lore of Thomas, and you managed to recreate that original story perfectly. The horror aspect of this video was also really effective. I was actually getting nervous at certain scenes. You nailed this man, bravo!

[@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho]

I dislike typical Thomas horror stories. They often rely too much on shock value or feel tonally dissonant from the show proper. But this? This is genuinely haunting. It took the mystery surrounding the pilot’s models and used that as a springboard for a story that allows for a more realistic telling of “Down the Mine” to happen. It also touches on the engines’ faces being removable in a way that’s not gross, so that’s a plus. Excellent story and phenomenal adaptation.

[@BriceGum138]

Do you know any other fan written Thomas horror stories you like besides this one?

[@MitchellTheExpermentialEngine]

This is the best Apart Of Me Stayed Behind remake I ever seen Good Job 👍

[@J4CK50N.]

I’ve seen other adaptations, but this one, by far, is truly the best one I’ve ever seen!

[@TramEngineStudios]

this was very. very. good! Best one out there!

[@jordangaming1019]

I like how the flashback scenes use the Johnny Morris narration.

[@DonaldTheScottishTwin57646]

Do you think this will ever be canon. I might as well write up a creepypasta when I get the time.

[@JordanFanProductions]

This is the BEST Adaption of this story, this was definitely worth the wait! Great job dude!

[@itssteveboi_.89]

3:45 Thomas meant business at this scene 💀

[@Bulbasaur617]

Welp you officially made this adaptation of this "what if" story more creepy with the usage of the static sounds and effects and the music used on Sir Topham's explanation here. I'm officially terrified of this. But this is still a great adaptation here. Well done.

[@Drifted_Rail]

Somehow your videos get more and more closer to being in a movie theater. Love the fact you used World of goo music at the mine scene. The pilot models being the prototypes is a really great in-joke too.

[@roxaclock]

not sure if it is them or not but i love the touch of the half engine's screaming indicating their presence even after their initial appearance

[@lemmyspeaks]

I think you’re on the wrong video mate. But i do agree with you but the screaming isn’t exactly screaming. It’s actually A fox call.

[@Trainfan1563]

bravo! that was a great story I loved the reveal at the end!

[@andreiemanueltudose2445]

Now this is quality the details with the editing and the music and the narration is nothing more to say than just perfect

[@jeremiahsisaias8677]

I can never find that pilot Gordon model anywhere. I only used TSI's S1 Thomas and Gordon as the dead prototypes. "YoU hElP mE aNd I hElP yOu... :)"

[@whytheheckarewedoinginhere1886]

Why do I see that right now but more funnier tho. 🤣 Also, I knew a meme from Spiderman across the multiuniverse.

[@-herdeleyno1-8636]

Those are the models from the pilot

[@amitysluzara2022]

What a chilling adaptation! Spectacular work

[@Fnaffan777]

This was so good! Stories like this and Henry 1&2 have this sense of eeriness when watching, they don’t scare you per-say but they make you feel, off. Well done on this video!

[@J4CK50N.]

0:26 GEEZ! Every time, I get frightened by Gordon’s eyes squeezed shut appearance when it’s sudden. Idk why, but I keep having flashbacks of “A Better View For Gordon” at the part where little me thought he was going to spill out of the tv, but now I know a screen is there to protect me.

[@TheMagicHistoryLifeProduction]

A Part of Me Stayed Behind! A Blast from the Past! Written By Richard Jordon!

[@_crankster]

An amazing adaptation. Truly brilliant.

[@firstnamlastnam2141]

Wow, just wow. I love the way you did the faces. It adds so much to the video.

[@MidlandProductions]

that was amazing. probably one you're best "horror" types of videos I seen yet!

[@dolphincrescent54]

Impressive work thebogieboy! You've made use of the 1983 pilot and turned it into a spooky story worthy of all the spine chills! I love it! I truly hope that Gordon and Thomas can move on from this experience. Also, I'm wondering where you get all your sweet music scores from? Do you have any sources I could listen to? Your soundtracks are a banger!

[@greenerell484]

This is best adaptation of this story I have seen so far

[@Killdane]

Amazing! The music and your zoom ins are amazing! Great job :D

[@BrendamProductions]

This is amazing I love the direction especially so much!

[@anotherlegendarysaiyan4171]

this is one of the best i've seen, you know how to put on a good scare

[@user-re4kt7vc3k]

This man’s work is under rated

[@craigflynn3401]

I was so confused at the start but new somthing was wrong but i didn't expect that i was shocked but well done one of the best adaptation to this story

[@sodormanstudios]

WOW! That was Pretty Magnificent!

[@TMSB_Fan]

This is techically a reference of the pilot and the real life event inspiring the story

[@pikachuthebananasplit9061]

What event?

[@captaincool3329]

This is quite a nice story, well done with it. I might have a look at some more of your stuff; I only found the channel by happy accident of the KZbin algorithm. The whole being-split-from-another-self premise reminds me of an anime series/game I play called Kantai Collection, where WWII ships are reborn specifically to fight unnatural, powerful seaborne enemies- not too different from the Thomas genre in that historical machines are being given human personalities, feelings and develop their own identities. Although there are others like Kancolle in the shipgirl genre (e.g. Arpeggio of Blue Steel and Azur Lane), what makes it especially similar to your story is how in Kancolle (specifically to the movie) it is revealed that the Abyssal enemies are just like the fleet-girls, except that they were formed by the anger and regret of being sunk. Sunk Abyssals can return as fleet-girls and vice versa, some fleet-girls can remember being Abyssals, and others experience partial amnesia. The climax goes further, where the destroyer Fubuki has to face her Abyssal counterpart (resentful of being left behind) at the very place the real-world Fubuki sank in 1942: Ironbottom Sound in the South Pacific. Picking up the historical references is really interesting- it's hardly surprising I've met others on the internet interested in Thomas, railway history, model railways, scale modelling, military history and shipgirl animes- all in varied combinations.

[@ncopictures7182]

Well, that was freaky as shiz! But Damm was it so cool and surreal. Keep it up man, this was awesome!

[@trevortyrrell175]

This has to be one of the best adaptation.

[@railmaster63]

As brilliant as I thought it would be!

[@bluebellsfan8704]

Spooky, but amazing. Loved it But the start got me 😭

[@corialicetales5249]

I like that little intro change as it's tie to the pilot

[@stuartbarclay7940]

Very good work!😄👍

[@AtypicalColoursGamer]

I love the quality of it

[@QUINNWORLD2.0]

" tragically someone was hurt," said the narrator

[@brianfalzon6739]

Very eerie adaptation!

[@Amar_youtube_official]

I love that this video is 21:9 aspect ratio it feels like more cinematic

[@scrible1073]

Now this..this is what i love about the other side of thomas fan-made videos on youtube^^ awesome

[@ortracing2983]

That was fantastic not gonna lie that was a dark moment when Thomas and Gordon saw there old body’s on the mine I’m quite surprised no one took them out of the pit and so they decided to put a new body on those two engines

[@matej_valek7]

A brilliant adaptation

[@altermike3197]

I love people using old Thomas props as inspiration for spooky stories!

[@pikachuthebananasplit9061]

6:04 made my blood go cold

[@alexcanine4948]

Impressive work for this one this way spooky😅

[@zakthemrconductor5920]

Outstanding Performance 😃👍

[@freyathompson592]

Amazing!

[@AdrielDoesGaming]

Wonderful story and animation, I find it very interesting

[@TenderEnginesDontShunt]

I love how this story relates to the pilot episode of TTTe

[@callum110597]

Wow, it felt a little like a horror story, but interesting callback to the pilot version of "Down the Mine", with the original models of Thomas and Gordon literally down the mine. ...Prototypes, I should say.

[@DavidScholz-bu1ix]

WELL DONE!

[@Kyranyoutubevids]

Imagine if this was the final episode of thomas and friends after Thomas and the royal engine..........

[@NCNGRR05]

Funny to see my old pilot Gordon model being put to good use still lol. Fun stuff, keep up the good work!

[@jeremiahsisaias8677]

You made that Gordon model? I can't never seem to find one anywhere... :(

[@MrNightmirror]

This was good very good

[@user-qv2cj5bg3p]

Good

[@GrenedearProductions]

Welp, i will never look at Thomas and friends the same way i did. This also explains Henry

[@PriceTaggyFan]

This could actually explain the events of the flying kipper if you take the guy from crew into consideration

[@TicTonic96]

Damn this is pretty good

[@altimotheus819]

What if it was the same situation with Henry? It would be like his face was moved to his new shape while his old one rots away on the side of the line at the site of the kipper crash.

[@catdude7113]

I'm not easily impressed...AND YET! Your video *whips out like button* Had impressed me

[@cookie_truck]

This could be true bc the smokebox doors can come off/open. As in the RWS, Henry’s SBD was opened. meaning the faces are the doors..

[@EvelynJiles232]

Good luck trying to sleep tonight you two

[@ajra6143]

I might be the only one, but I keep hearing the Half Engine's screams in the nighttime ambiance. Could be wrong but it just sounds like her at points.

[@SteamyTheE4TankEngine]

Hopefully, they can come back and be the second number one and number four someday on the railway

[@Mewtwo557]

Cool beans.

[@Toysonicandfriends2]

This is devastating that Thomas and Gordon find they old bodies is in that mine

[@fredsfrenzychannelreadbio5449]

We need a part 2 like with Henry and james

[@BriceGum138]

I feel this story is a weird enigma that I can't seem to understand what makes sense about Thomas and Gordon dying from that lead mine only for them to come back to life to see their dead corpses. I am like... what?... I just can't seem to help be thought in questions over this story as to how it makes sense.

[@alejandrothee2tankengine907]

a question but please answer. What is the name of the sound effect when Thomas starts to shake in fear when he sees his true shape in the mine?

[@thehedgebot99mph90]

3:49 people should make Trainz Thomas "bloopers" compilations with crashes on set. Thomas falls in the hole

[@sailorearth2007]

I normally don’t care for these kinds of videos…spooky sure but not this dark…however there was something about your adaptation that is different from other versions and I kind of like it this time

[@TheLastE2]

Lindal Railway Incident Be Like: 0:22

[@jonathanperez2320]

I see you unmeshed the faces of the pilot thomas and gordon after the accident

[@the_eastern_confederation]

epic

[@brokendieselproductions]

So is it a creppy pasta or not stee a good au none the less

[@Somerandompokemon]

What sir topham hat did was an equivalent of Necromancy..but.. god..

[@user-qe8ej8xm6m]

What is that

[@auraknight1004]

That is the most horrific Thomas fanfic story ever

[@ryleeculla5570]

It would make sense for their faces to be removed cause behind their faces is the smoke box door meaning they can just remove it and place the faces on a different engines

[@Boyfriendfnf123]

Can you please tell me what is this song 5:16

[@joelcartagena953]

5:55 just gonna say this. If they were to finish and complete the pilot model of Thomas, then perhaps they could've made him look exactly how he was drawn by both Reginald Payne and with some C.Reginald Dalby in there too.

[@yobama6966]

What’s the name of the background song starting at 5:25?

[@user-yx7qd3xs8b]

are you going to make the untold story of Timothy as a Halloween special

[@Dylaniscool235]

Didnt anyone see the pilot modles on post?

[@gerardonugget13channel13]

Y dose it say in the description I can't fix you a fnaf song when there is nothing of the song in the video?

[@SCACALOWEY01]

imagine if this was conan to the show
