BRANCH LINE ENGINES (RWS vs T&F) (Spot the Differences)

The Railway Series #16
Thomas & Friends: Thomas Comes to Breakfast ~ Daisy ~ Bulls Eyes ~ Percy's Predicament

[@saberracer026]

I am absolutely loving this series. It is interesting to see which stories got adapted and which ones didn't

[@samuelfarris1949]

The large object that Thomas rolls under before derailing in the illustration at 1:22 is a lifting hoist. Many locomotive sheds had a hoist, in order to lift a locomotive off it's wheels for minor repairs. This also explains the lack of buffers on the siding without it being brought up in the narration. The track showing a crossing gate behind it is supposed to be Toby's line going up to the Quarry, which bypasses the stationmaster's house. Also the episode cuts out the section of narration in the book where Thomas briefly struggles to conceal sneezing due to the tickly plaster on his nose. Regards, Samuel Farris.

[@gregkiteos1936]

One minor but significant difference is in *Thomas Comes To Breakfast.* When Thomas tells the others that he's not scared he says "Pooh!" in the book but in the episode he says "Huh!" (or "Ha!"). The other instance where this change occurred was in *Ghost Train.* Similar changes occurred in *You Can't Win* and *Mavis.* Peter Sam and Mavis said "For crying out loud!" and "Fudge!" respectively. Both phrases were changed to "Fiddlesticks!" in the TV adaptations.

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

What about “be quiet” instead of “shut up”?

[@tre-engines]

I like Daisy’s face in the show! It adds to her personality!

[@andydoms2001]

One thing that you didn’t mention is the fact that in the RWS book, when Thomas is repaired from the accident in Thomas comes to Breakfast, his running board is changed from the normal curved design to flat and maintained it for the rest of the books, whereas on the show Thomas’s running board remains curved the whole run.

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

For their nameplates in the books, it’s obvious that Thomas’s accident occurred shortly before the Scottish twins got repainted blue probably for delays of delivering blue paint at the engine works at Crovan’s gate (if you’d ask me), and those nameplates on their smoke-boxes we’re just brief to still be told apart before they got new ones

[@ritchiesiepman5511]

I love these video's. I never read the Railway Series because they weren't released in the Netherlands. It's cool to see the difference between the Railway Series and the TV Series

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

The bulls eyes still take place in these events even on TV, as Daisy had never met a bull till her encounter with Champion, Thomas not being seen or mentioned, and Daisy being frightened by bulls as said in percys predicament.

[@oldwarriorproductions8411]

In the railway series story The Deputation, it’s said that the Scottish twins have they’re names painted on instead of having nameplates

[@gregkiteos1936]

That's right. I don't know why the Reverend wrote that; it's quite unusual for locomotives to have their names painted on them, although some tank engines do, like the LBSCR A1s and A1Xs (Stepney's basis).

[@oldwarriorproductions8411]

@@gregkiteos1936 I prefer that personally over nameplates. Hard to explain why, it looks neat to me

[@dysprosium]

​@@gregkiteos1936 Well, it could be to stop the Caledonian twins from swapping tenders and pretending to be each other again, since as shown by Bill and Ben, name plates can be easily removed, while paint would be much more difficult.

[@Sodor.steam_squad]

However in the End of the Story, Thomas returns from the works for his new flat running board In the tv series his Running board is Normal and wasn’t adapted in episode from Percy’s Predicament

Although an error on tv, “Percy never being at the quarry before” may notify how he wasn’t at the quarry as it was only 1 of his first times there, which can be why he claims to manage.

You forgot to mention in Percy's Predicament that Thomas's Front Running Board was straightened when he returned from the works as opposed to the adaption which had it stayed curved. ^^;

I got an ad for a game called bullseye ball after watching this video. I thought it was too perfect not to mention.

[@isitredormaroon2196]

I should note that the illustrations in the story “Daisy” (at about 4:50) seem to depict Daisy with TWO faces, as in the illustration right before the one where she is looking at the milk van, her face was pointing AWAY from the van, and had a white headlamp, when looking at the van however, she appears to have a second face as she then has a red tail lamp. Whether or not this is an illustration error or not I don’t know, but if it isn’t, think of that…

[@Gamebuilder2000]

Yeah they tend to do this for all diesels with two cabs in the railway series, so definitely intentional

[@Shakes-Off-Fear]

@@Gamebuilder2000Someone’s made the case that Toby has two faces as well

as a kid i never watched the episodes in order as they were on random vhs tapes at my elementary school. so i was never introduced to daisy until years later and thought mavis was the first female engine.

[@mack_r-s]

Can I just say how creepy looking Thomas' face looks in the first story's episode adaptation? The face they used is just so wired, and it even frightened me as a kid.

[@class87fan54]

Yeah, me too. All the close-up scale faces are nightmare fuel and that one is particularly bad. Doesn't help that they shoot it directly head on and have those huge bulging eyes looking directly at the camera.

Extra difference, in the adaptation of Thomas comes to breakfast, Thomas boasting to Toby and Percy takes place at the same time as the events of brake van, while the book doesn't.

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

For Percy being next to daisy during her argument, it’s possible that he has to take the milk for her

[@supermariof0521]

[@PaintballGargoyle]

The reason the twins are black is the director did not want to have too many engines of the same color. Same reason for small engines not all being red

[@Thomasmemoryscentral]

Honestly I think it works better that both the NG engines and the Scottish twins didnt have their colors changes for tv

Wooden posts wouldn’t stop engines like buffers - as Thomas breaks the post in episode

0:00 daisy face I can’t even

[@tankenginethomas1]

I love your videos

[@thomassimpson95]

In the Railway Series story of ''Thomas Comes To Breakfast'' which the episode is based on, Thomas crashed into the stationmaster's house as a result of a siding ending on the road having no buffers to stop him, causing him to run off the rails and onto the road until he reached the house as shown in the illustration at 1:22 . This was not done in the episode adaptation due to the models heavily being powered by track, so the rails had to be led to the stationmaster's house as seen at 1:34 However, the Ladybird and Buzz Book adaptations of this episode uses the original Railway Series dialogue. Is that worth noting?

[@Cessna-er4je]

*"FEEBLE?!"*

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

It was a mishap on TV as the scrapyard near Wellsworth is used instead of the route to the quarry
