EIGHT FAMOUS ENGINES (RWS vs T&F) (Spot the Differences)

[@samuelfarris1949]

Clarifications: The confusion over Henry claiming Bill and Ben are not the property of the Fat Controller; there is justice to this in the Railway Series lore, which states openly that they are privately owned by the China Clay Company, hence the logos on their saddle tanks. Explaining the alternate direction in the adaptation, while not a direct necessity, could be that Percy had brought some trucks down Edward's line, and Henry had followed him by accident i.e. 'Wrong Road', hence him wanting a rest. In the final story the engines from the Other Railway sent to fill in for the regulars would have reflected the positions of the engines they had to cover for; for instance a Pacific-type locomotive would have done Gordon's work, specifically an LMS engine, and Jinty and Pug are clearly emphasised as counterparts to Thomas and Percy. Samuel F.

[@samuelfarris1949]

Further differences concerning 'Double Header'/Time For Trouble. In the book the narrator informs us that Toby is heading to the Works by order of the Fat Controller, and that Percy would take care of Henrietta, but in the episode we see these moments play out as they happen once Toby puts down James's statement; the indication with the book therefore is that Toby had already set out on his journey to being repaired when James comes across him. Also in the book Toby worries about Henrietta's feelings while they are separated, and clearly Percy and Henrietta were brought up again in the episode as a short cut to give them more screen time, when logically they should have just been shown working on Thomas's branch line, with Percy comforting Henrietta entirely unaware about Toby being stranded.

I just believe they where not part of Sir Topham’s Railway yet, and they where having a visiting day.

[@gregkiteos1936]

@@samuelfarris1949 Yes, it's standard practice for the guard (or in this case the fireman) to place detonators on the rails to warn the driver of the train behind that there is a *Train in Section* and therefore should prepare to stop. It's still in today's rules: I saw a video from last year of one of the new Class 755 units that needed recovering from Wymondham, Norfolk. The Class 37 loco that had been sent to rescue it ran over the detonators there.

[@gregkiteos1936]

Gordon's line "I like a good long run to stretch my wheels" from *Time For Trouble* is taken directly from *Gordon Goes Foreign,* thus providing some context for James taking over from Gordon.

[@joshslater2426]

I read the book as a kid, and as a result Jinty and Pug are engrained into my memory. I remember feeling cheated when watching the show and seeing them recycling existing side characters. I get that they needed to save money on the models, but the crew could’ve used spare shells of Thomas and Percy, made single faces for each and sprayed the models black.

[@killdozer7792]

Another difference, as evidenced by Annie and Clarabel's chanting - in the book, Thomas arrives just in the nick of time (I hope we're not late, it isn't quite eight), whereas in the episode, he is actually a few minutes late (I hope we're not late, as it's just after eight). Which does make TFC's scolding of Thomas in one but not the other a little more glaring. TV Thomas: (arrives late) Topham: It's cool, whatevs. Book Thomas: (arrives just in time) Topham: THOMASDIDYOUPUTYOURNAMEINTHEGOBLETOFFIRE!!??

What makes it even more ironic is that TFC wanted to start the trip on cue with no hold ups. Yet he decides to waste time and shout at Thomas for nearly holding them up.

2:26 there aren’t exactly buffers in the illustration either. The rails technically just form a sloping angle at the end which wouldn’t likely stop an engine.

[@thomassimpson95]

Why didn't they adapt ''Percy Takes The Plunge'' for Series 3 as it takes place after ''Percy's Promise'' as the reference suggests? In fact ''Percy's Promise'' along with ''Time For Trouble was originally planned for Series 2 anyway, I heard.

Spot the differences, duck and gordon talk before the special engine, so his line is changed to "king cross! London's paddington! What rubbish!", At the end, Sir Toppham Hatt meets Gordon at the station in the book. Whilst he meets gordon in the sheds in the episode

[@AndyKirtland11]

I bugs me how they thought the missing coach would be too confusing for children, but think it’s completely fine to put Percy takes the Plunge well before Percy’s promise. Now that to me along with many others was confusing when I was a childhood and I have I missed something and was wondering what an earth Percy was going on about at the time because it hasn’t happened. That itself is extremely confusing and I don’t know what they were thinking at the time.

Also I wonder why Gordon Goes Foreign was cancelled as an episode even though it was planned but never once happened that's just strange but whatever. However, a kid by the name of Live Steam (I heard his first name is Callum but hey I could be wrong you never know lol) made this amazing almost realistic custom episode of Gordon Goes Foreign and brought it into model life if you all are interested in watching it (and yes, the Big City Engine actually does look like Henry): kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6mnnZyHgb9qp5I.

About percy taking trucks to the other railway this is a theory but the yard could be the yard of barrow and furness because all the trains run from tidmoth to barrow and there is a engine shed there and is still the fat controllers property so they could be there so thats why Henry says that because it could be barrow
