Break Van

Remastered Part 3 of Book 15, narrated by Willie Rushton

[@alanbowers6554]

Really is written so well. Throughout this book the you can feel the Fat Controller growing more and more frustrated. Initially he blows off there being two engines instead of one by sarcastically giving his 'engines have numbers' line to the inspector to in the in of this part turning away and admitting that he really doesn't know what to do. It's a really well written story

[@FullArcher05]

That’s why this is my favorite book.

[@benlahrman4149]

Love how they depict Sodor's economic world.

"I've decided to send Douglas back and keep you. You upset my arrangements." "Anyone would think, that Donald had his accident on purpose." ... I think Donald did have that accident deliberately. As Douglas was going to be sent back, he crashed into the signalbox to buy Douglas time to make things right.

[@micawber0245]

TobyandMavisforever I think so too. It ws later mentioned that he would have been scrapped if he was sent back I think.

[@TobyandMavisforever]

That was the case, yes. I even wrote a story about this: tobyandmavisforever.deviantart.com/journal/For-my-brother-661891529

[@micawber0245]

TobyandMavisforever Cool, thanx!

[@TobyandMavisforever]

NP. Tell me what you think.

[@micawber0245]

Ok, I read it. Very nice, and yes, Donald and Douggie indeed swapped tenders to stay out of trouble, you got that right. Nice idea to have Thomas in there too, really makes sense in this story.

[@1RichardHunt]

A little extension to the beginning that could give more continuation: "Gordon had to take the visitors home before the special coach was found again; and all way he heard them saying what a Bad Railway it was. As for the Twins, the Fat Controller scolded them both severely."

[@modernphotographer]

If this was done by hit Sir topham hatt would have said "you have caused confusion and delay"

[@christopherpotter6650]

Willie Rushton was such a great English storyteller for the Railway Series. 🚂

[@TrainFan69]

Not me listening to all these in English class because I didn’t bring a book

[@tadkratzer6261]

I think Douglas deliberately crushed the break van. He was mad that his twin brother was getting blamed for the chaos. So Douglas decided to teach the van a lesson.

[@numberjacksoctonauts7138]

Actually, it was Douglas himself getting blamed not Donald.

[@alexpaumen3937]

4:39 Put that at 0.25 speed lol.

[@slapper360]

What did I just listen to?

[@arenjtumastens]

2:13 Does not! The rails were just slippery! 5:48 The Fat Controller was making up his mind about something. But that's another story.

[@sighrissharber4458]

Book: He turned and walked thoughtfully away. Episode: The Fat Controller was making up his mind about something. But that's another story.

Yer a mocale nuisanze! It’z ta leeve ya behind, I’d bi wantin’. (You can't! I'm essential.)

@Ben Magnez Ow-ah-ohh!!!

Buy 1, Get 1 free XD

[@kevin-2.1]

This story has gotten thinking on why did Douglas tease James? Was the reason for just to teased him or was it to help him with his train?

[@railroader5794]

Imagine if sir topham hatt decided to send them both back and get a differant engine

[@TheThomasWoodenGuy]

Question: Can i use a screencap (picture) from this video please? I am going to be doing a discussion on the NW Brakevan

[@davidantoniocamposbarros7528]

So anyways,what happened to the Break Van?

[@littleblue3fproductions-li183]

Why wasn’t it rebuilt?

[@terencewilliammckenna6121]

Probably cause it was too crushed to be rebuilt

[@stinkyroadhog1347]

Scrapped

[@trainlover658]

the fat controller is rather silly.... he's bought 2 engines for the price of 1

[@mattthedoormat]

You kidding me? that's the deal of a life time.

[@thethomassketchshow2250]

Your wrong the fat controller only ordered donald but Douglas was about to be scrapped so they got rid of there numbers and they both snuck over to sodor

[@sweetcarolinablues]

Why do people call them “CLUMSY _GREAT_ ENGINE”

[@hazyhope._.]

oxymoron.

[@stinkyroadhog1347]

Great as in great in size

[@thusgordonplot4721]

Wow

[@BadgerWhisper]

What is Donald sorry for? Crashing into the signalbox? Sorry to hear of Douglas been sent back? Or something else?

[@tencents6]

He was sorry because he got in trouble with the Fat Controller. The twins were trying to be extra good in the hopes that maybe, the Fat Controller would keep both of them. However, Donald crashed and now the Fat Controller isn't sure again.

[@sighrissharber4458]

The decision was heard in The Deputation.

[@numberjacksoctonauts7138]

Probably that Douglas was almost sent back. Donald is the one who smuggled Douglas to Sodor, and he had been fighting for a while to keep his brother safe.
