TDRS | Halloween Special 2024 | 'Time Limited'

[@DAlycidon]

It amazes me how people go to universities and spend years studying movies, analysing storyboards, analysing characters and scenes, work out what kind of filming techniques was used in certain scenes. And then they come out of University and for the most part make rubbish films that contributes nothing to cinema history. But you Tom, you’ve created one of the best short films I have ever seen. The way you raise tension in a scene without any of the engines showing any expression whatsoever, and having to rely on the music, the voice acting and the camera angle to make the scene, and in the end you leave the viewer absolutely disgusted in what Robert has done. I personally think you have created one of the most evilest locomotives in fiction. The fact Robert has no remorse for the things he’s done, even when he’s about to be scrapped really shows what a monster he is. You have done an absolutely fantastic job here Tom, and you’ve got so much movie making talent in you. This is certainly one of your best works so far, and I cannot wait to see what you make in the future:)

I feel like people already said what needed to be said, But Tom, this is honestly one of your best works so far.. It is easily one of my favourite specials, if not actual "episodes" of the series... The story doesn't do too much with visuals, but it completely makes up for it with the story telling. Those little zoom ins, and the music really helps build up tension too We get to know more about the backstory of Robert, rather than just his building history and just some little tidbits of The Monster of East Kent Again, hats off to you Tom, you honestly deserve way more recognition :)

[@DDJP]

Cheers! This was, in my opinion, an interesting way to give Bob's backstory, rather than just writing it out on the wiki. This one is mostly carried by the voice acting, as I know the visuals at the end might not be very exciting. But at least we see the sunset coming, signifying the sun setting on Bob's life...

[@lanesanders1530]

Hands down one of the best stories you’ve written, ever. Didn’t have to make the Halloween special over the top, and you pulled it off spectacularly.

Sometimes a slower pace and a decent conversation works just as well as a big flashy story with a fast pace. That's my more 'adult' style coming through I guess, as ive gotten older my story writing has evolved.

[@TS1402Ed]

It's shocking to see Pogo actually show emotions for once.

It's no wonder they call him the 'Monster of East Kent'.

[@sashathetankengine]

Honestly, for a first time seeing anything from this channel… damn. This was something else. Truthfully, I’ve also wondered how Railway Men saw Steam Engines as a living creature, as humans. Humans can be good, but they can very often be dark and evil souls. How could a steam engine be that (well, aside from Dudley)? Robert fills in that gap. It is so clear that he is a selfish engine that, even on death’s door, is still not remorseful nor guilty about his actions, about how he affected others. The dark hum present in the background while Robert sits in the scrapyard, the simple yet effective camera movement… You don’t even need a face on the smokebox door, the voice acting is all you need… Bravo my guy! Consider me a fan!

[@DDJP]

@@sashathetankengine Well, firstly, welcome to the fanbase and the channel! Glad to see more new fans coming along to check it out! Indeed, I like that part of your comment regarding the lack of faces. Its something I feel makes us have to really pay attention to the story in order to work out engine's intentions without the obvious facial cues. Plus, Im so used to faces being smokeboxes and cab fronts that seeing my characters with proper faces would be wierd now haha!

[@bhproductions5913]

At least we know the full story and now we can connect the dots and have a full understanding of the story!

[@Flyingdurito]

Well, I can’t say I was expecting Pogo to show up, but honestly, just wow, I wasn’t expecting this story to get so real, or so heavy hearted, hearing about all the atrocities Bob committed, especially that last one…he was a despicable creature and gladly there’s Rick to take over and replace his legacy

[@yogabumm]

Amazing. Simply amazing story telling. 10/10. I think we already all agreed that Bob could go rot in a scrap line, given his bullying and beating of the other engines, but given the actions this special revealed him to have done, I think that now applies ten-fold, and simultaneously speaks to the good of Rick, for not going down that same path.

[@Pyrotrainthing]

Bob knew what he did was wrong but never cared. Karma bit him in the end.

[@DDJP]

Unfortunately, he never did show any remorse for his horrific actions. Hence why Pogo decided to let his fate catch up with him rather than intervene. However, I find it interesting that Pogo only came along to Eastleigh to torture Bob with his past and roast him before his demise. Not sure if that makes Pogo any worse actually, but he works in mysterious ways...

[@sauce2kgod193]

@@DDJPI feel like pogo wanted Bob to understand what his past actions and his treatment of others has affected not just the workmen but also the engines. Big Bob truly was a monster yes i understand that his entire design was the biggest reason that he was not as flexible is working the entire line but it was also the reason for his treatment and downfall. Big bob truly got what was coming to him

[@Pyrotrainthing]

@@DDJP I think it just shows Pogo does watch what happens around the Dark Railway and cares about engines that live there and around it. He only brought up Bob’s past to remind him of his actions that lead Bob to being put in the scrap line instead of overhaul.

[@thetrainspotters502]

Wow! What can I say? I'm lost for words! The event we have only ever heard in history and discussion brought to life in a way which leaves the mind blown. For Bob to go from the strongest engine on the DR (and indeed in the country at that time) to nothing more than a shadow, for him to then fade from 'legend' to myth . This somewhat had the feeling the Big Bob had finally met his maker, Pogo's presence here is very chilling as he starts with bedside manner before tearing Bob apart and making him see what he had done. I do somewhat feel sorry for him as he was rather poor in his original condition and plagued by it seems to me his hatred built from there Beyer Peacock, The other locomotives calling him fat, Theo and Otto being the 'favorites' of Lord Dark, Mark Dark and of course the war. I'm amazed it took not two but three engines to shift him to Eastleigh! Loved the dialog in this it was played off very well by yourself and Anthony, Bob is now at the end. Also I found it rather chilling and at the same time wonderful that Pogo foreshadows Rick, Bob must of really felt his mortality then. Tom you are a great writer, you bring your stories to life in a charming and wonderful way, I love watching DRS and NW keep doing what your doing it's amazing! Kindest Regards, Joe

It goes to show what an unredeemable monster he really was. It's why I kept saying that Bob is dispicable and should not be empathised with. At least we know that he perished so that Rick could live. And as we all know, Rick is precious and would never do anything to hurt anyone.

[@ClassicProgrammes2868]

@@DDJP hearing that he was the locomotive version of a rapeist is just sick too. Murdered an engine just to protect his own boiler cladding during the war too was out of order.

[@dlp2372]

I'm only going based on speculation and one fact; but from what I could understand, on top of all his other unforgivable actions, Big Bob, or Robert, apparently committed...the "R" word...with that poor engine alone in the sheds. While I am sure everyone is disgusted by what Robert did, from a lore stand point, this only dives deeper on what engines can do one another. Even though they are machines, they apparently have some or even equal actions to what humans can do. Theo & Otto are an example of being the most human an engine can be based on what Pogo described. Meanwhile, Dave & Hannah show how far relationships with engines can go in different means. As for Robert, his spotlight episode shows what evil, twisted, maniacal and unfathomable actions an engine can do that mimics what humans are capable of in the real world. Honestly, this episode has to be my favorite in terms of not only the lore of the Dark Railway & what engines are capable of, but being able to see why everyone didn't like Big Bob and what made him the monster he is. Words can't describe how awesome this series is, and I'm glad to be a fan of it! 10000/10, keep up the amazing work👍

[@DDJP]

@@dlp2372 Wow, thank you for your comment! I do love the lore we have all built over the years, from theories to alternate takes to the simple history the DR has. As for 'that act', I suppose it's different in an engine's perspective. Remember, we are trying to imprint human characteristics onto machines with linited physical capabilities, so unfortunately some suspensiob of disbelief has to be held for our human traits to be represented by the machines. In other words, it makes for a storyline and for character, but I cannot explain the ins and outs of how 'that act' works in 77C. Bob is unfortunately part of that lore, but it goes to show that its not all sunshine and rainbows around the line. He was a monstr for sure. But thankfully for Rick, alpt of this wont affect him at least. Not everyone around him were not to know of Bob's misdeeds, so we can take solace in that.

So far the only engines that aren't Dark Railway residents know about Rick are Alfred, Cederwood & Clint. Those 3 aren't even Southern engines (Alfred & Clint are GWR engines & Cederwood is a Dexby engine). No other Southern engines who we're around when that bastard was alive will know that Rick isn't Bob. While it's unknown what her name will be won't the T14 that's possibly going to be introduced in TDRS have come across Bob in the past. 257 and Eustace won't be aware that Rick's construction was why Mr Smash's works was shut as the engines that did know we're keeping quiet, they will only be thinking right now that it's refurbishment work that's going on as they pissed off up north before Rick was finished.

@@DDJP Honestly to me, see the whole life of bob, it seems he was truly Despicable the whole time, and he merely sank deeper into that pit of sins. He never had a fall from grace, for he was never at any figurative height with which to fall from. He was already at the bottom.
