Fight For Survival

[@Rheneas]

This is BY FAR the best story involving Emily I have EVER seen, GOD I wish she was this awesome in the series, I really wish they would acknowledge how old most of the engines are.

[@robertknight4672]

Rheneas think they only do that with Toby on the series.

[@spring626]

She's older than Edward so that means she's the oldest on sodor

[@UnitedWars]

@@spring626 not really she is the oldest standers gauge engine but most of the narrow and miniature gauge engines are older

[@spring626]

@@UnitedWars yeah, that's what I ment, not sure why I said oldest on sodor

[@dcg12b]

Personally I think their very elegant engines and are graceful when running. The real Stirling Single No.1 is extremely beautiful and is one of the most stunning engines in Britain. :)

[@Kanefan701]

Your narration is a masterpiece.

[@DarthWill3]

What a great story! I never knew Emily's class dated back to the late 1800's! Blue and Bell. LOL They remind me a bit of Pip and Emma. Nice to see Jimmy and Vick making good cameo appearances.

[@jonasbelon845]

DarthWill3 right!

[@nigelgresley87546]

Emily as built in... 1870

[@hawanatukabba317]

Wasn't it 1895 or 1894

[@agimackenzie2361]

And Robbin

[@thesudriana016]

Brilliant story! I've always been fascinated by how Emily came to Sodor from scrap and it still remains to this day one of my favorite Emily-related stories from fan content.

[@22Tesla]

An amazing story! Stories like this are rare, and they are very special indeed. A wonderful backstory.

[@Kanefan701]

I have to admit this is among the best stories I've ever heard and I give it a 10 / 10 rating.

[@dcg12b]

Thank you very much for that wonderful comment. It makes it all worth while when you see such great feedback. I'm especially proud of this story as it took a lot of thought and time to create a backstory for a character that already exists. So glad you enjoyed it and thank you once again for those kind words. :)

[@itomfan98productions]

A really well made ep and absolutly great story about emilys escape I'm surprised that it hasn't been made into a RWS book/tv ep. Keep up the great work

[@dragonzilla6482]

If you were a Steam Engine and you were on the brick of been scrapped and survived, this would haunt for forever.

[@Channel-ij5px]

Gosh that Forman never gets off that box

[@FullArcher05]

That was a fantastic story. Honestly, I think Wilbert would’ve loved it.

[@Bunbiichuffn]

The back story is terrific, really gives a proper explanation as to why an engine such as Emily is on Sodor. I particularly like the B12 and the BlueBell character. The foreman's dedication to his secret engine is touching, and the story from start to very end was great. :) Well done to you.

[@islandbridgejct]

Ah, that was a lovely story, and very nicely told - not too much technical detail, excellent narrative drive, good narration (and I love the bed.) You'd almost forget that most of it took place in a shed. Love it. Thanks.

[@GWShunter]

You certainly did a wonderful job! You added much more depth into Emily's story and character, if this was an official story of the series, it would have blown all of seasons 6/7 away in my book :) Fantastic job!

[@nicholetheotter1957]

I love this take on a backstory for Emily. I like her because of her stance as the best "girl power" character and Stirling Singles are pretty good-looking engines.

[@cameronloven9339]

Hey, it's Jinty from his other series!

[@GeebMachine]

Brilliant. Sheer and utter brilliance! Great work once again. Keep it up! :)

[@railmodler8572]

excellent! good to see someone making a back story for her.

[@SirThanxalott]

Bluebell were like the Three musketeers but two: they fended off any diesels trying to blow the gaff. It was as if they were dueling sabres on the railway.

[@GrumpyLoco6]

Not only is this a FANTASTIC story but your narration is BRILLIANT!! It almost sounds like the guy who narrated Christopher Awdry's stories. Keep up the good work. :D

[@stuartbarclay7940]

What an amazing story!😀

[@robertknight4672]

That is one of the best stories I've heard.

[@rayhagele]

I don't usually say this but: Head Canon Accepted!!!!!!!!

[@tivednagol9127]

Just letting you know, Bachmann has announced Oliver as part of their 2015 range. I thought you might like to know for the next time you do a Thomas video. But if you'd rather stick with your Hornby Oliver, I understand. I just thought you might like to know. Have a nice day sir.

[@RogueRail]

How I hate rude inspectors that try to scrap special engines

[@vincentberkan605]

They were just doing their jobs. Their orders came from the very top.

[@chaoticmoron-zl6nv]

Sadly true

[@sheffieldthegrumpyabrasive3606]

They we’re doing their jobs... Same excuse for the Germans.

[@BrentSudric]

Honestly this is my favourite of the Engine Survives Scrapping stories

[@mortisvult2658]

GOD I LOVE YOUR WORK

[@randomclown5288]

and to think there are people on twitter relentlessly trying to prove that Emily can't fit into rws canon....

[@juanpablo.a]

That’s exactly why I’m here lol

[@ShunterProductions]

great work on this episode mate

[@Tuckinator15]

Fantastic episode! I really liked bluebell and that B12. I hope to see them in the future. Well done!

[@TRAINMASTER321]

This story was brilliant and clever I hope you make more stories like this maybe one about Murdoch or spencer

[@Robtheredengine]

That was a really good background story on emily mate =D I love teh cameo of Jimmy and do I spy some new rolling stock =)

[@MinecraftFreak185]

THANK GOODNESS your not stopping jimmy those r the main reason i subscribed to u. GO TERRY

[@shiningtime4]

that was excellent :) any chance u could do a back ground for donald and douglaus of thier journey to sodor :)

[@GWR6029]

Brill, brill, brilliant. Very well writen and thoroughly enjoyed.

[@ChrisTomson]

2 people don't respect excellent storytelling. I love it, a proper back story for Emily and it was mesmerising to watch her struggle for many years to find someone to care for her. It's a shame that the actual TV series isn't written as brilliantly as this

[@Damocles178]

Very nice; I wish this was Emilys back story. Best story I've ever seen about Emily; not even her debut in Season 7 can hold a candle to this :) It's absolutely ridiculous in the tv series how she's portrayed as a young engine when in fact she's bound to be at least as old as Edward; if not older.

[@BenScrimgeour]

Just love this. I've always wanted to know how she came to Sodor,

[@paraspinogaming369]

“Emily was much older than the other engines” you also said she was built in 1894 and so was Edward so there was a goof

[@dcg12b]

Did you see Edward in the line up of engines at the sheds?

[@paraspinogaming369]

dcg12b oh you mean out of the engines that were present at the sheds 🤔

[@J4M1FY]

I Hope Emily Will See The B12, Blue And Bell Again...But That’s Very Unlikely...;(

[@TitanicTARDIS]

This is a wonderful little story :) emily has been badly handled on the tv series and this re addresses the balance. Wonderful stuff. Any chance of an Oliver version? His story was told in the book but it would be a great little episode to see :-)

[@to_the_maxx]

I love this video

[@DOWSOE]

another episode well done btw !!!! Did you base the story on the history of the Sterlings ?

[@MrMcCue-on1gz]

I love this.

[@Damocles178]

Continued: Also I really appreciate that you try to be original with your videos; I tip my hat to you sir and say you are right up there with Simierski :). Not many series do that on youtube these days; some youtubers just literally cut and paste ideas from other users without asking and it's sickening seeing them even get the slightest bit of praise when they wrote nothing themselves.

[@dilophosaursniper5399]

after hearing that i dont think emily would want to sleep in a shed anymore

[@dcg12b]

Thank you!! ;)

[@lewisarmour]

What controller do you use so you can control both Hornby and Bachman Locomotives?

[@LittleBlueTrain67]

If you were ever to introduce 98642 in your series, you could definitely use that B12 model.

[@SamTheMann-eg1dy]

It's 98462 not 98642

[@LittleBlueTrain67]

Oh thanks! Sorry, I kinda always get mixed up

[@SamTheMann-eg1dy]

Everyone makes mistakes, it's cool. Besides, Henry mixed them up to

[@SamTheMann-eg1dy]

Plus, I've got that blue B12

[@TheRoyalScotsman6100]

My favorite part was Jimmy's cameo at 8:28 to 8:30/8:35 depending on whether you count his train or not.

[@dragonzilla6482]

Maybe somewhere in a forgotten shed is a sole survivor of a lost class awaiting to be discovered.

[@dcg12b]

Thank you very much, thats kind of you. Yes you may use the back story, but if I could possible have a credit for it then that should be fine. Cheers for asking. :)

[@dcg12b]

Cheers mate :)

[@Damocles178]

For goodness sake guys can he not do the odd Thomas video without some of you assuming that Jimmy is dead? It isn't dead for crying out loud; he still has plans for it. Besides it's not like he hasn't done Thomas videos like this during the run of his Jimmy the jinty series before such as James The Temporary Twin. Also would it kill some of you to comment on this video instead of going on and on about what happened to Jimmy? Talk about rude :/

[@trainzville9237]

Hello dcg12b,That is one fantastic episode about Emily fighting for survival.Oh you said about Emily and Stirling No.1 to be reunited in the near future, there are going to be new 00 gauge models of Stirling Single No.1 made by Rapido Trains to be sold at www.locomotionmodels.com They be released in late 2016 this year! How about doing a special episode of Thomas & Emily visiting Stirling No.1 at the NRM in York in the future. Hope you think this is a smashing idea? Yours kindly Jordan Shingler 😊

[@dcg12b]

It's definitely something I've been plotting away at. Whether or not I can afford the model when it is released will determine if that particular episode will be written and produced. Thanks for the kind comment as well. :)

[@trainzville9237]

Hello again dcg12b, There has been update on the release of the Rapido Trains Stirling Single No.1 model, they were to be released in late 2016, but it's changed to May or June 2017, due to uncertainties of the factory of the delivery date. I'm sorry! Here is the link to Locomotion Models! www.locomotionmodels.com Remember I suggested about doing a Thomas special of Thomas & Emily visiting the NRM in York to see Stirling No.1? I just thought of something, how about Gordon coming along with Thomas & Emily to York, not just to see Stirling No.1, also for Gordon to his brother, The Flying Scotsman! How about making this special next year in the Summer? Thank you Yours sincerely Jordan Shingler

[@storiesfromdifferenteras]

Jordan Shingler Why Thomas of all engines ? He has a branch and is already famous .

[@EzCuldee]

Great episode when is the next coming

[@thomaschambers4894]

I do hope that these videos will come back

[@thesodorsamurai2002]

Were the 4-2-2's really called "eight-footers"?

[@youchoob8090]

Although we don’t get much of a lead on those supposed Ghost Stories the B12 said were made about Emily, I wonder if there was a Ghost? We did see what happened when people doubted the existence of Engine 17… a Ghost was present, just not Emily’s ghost…

[@RoseSupreme]

Was that Class 47 who pulled Emily out supposed to be The Works Diesel/Wendell?

[@marblesjn]

New rivals as you insert title here nothing can stop you diamond and pearl Pokémon

[@dcg12b]

Oh, didn't know you were on about your railway!?

[@mjgillespie91]

just wondering if you gone back to thomas and friends and stopped the jimmy series

[@dcg12b]

The preserved B12 is No. 61572. This one would have been scrapped.

[@Damocles178]

No problem; if people have a preference for Jimmy that's fine but it's quite rude for them not to comment on the video itself if they're gonna take the time to click it. If they must ask about Jimmy; they should keep comments like that to your profile; not the video :)

[@WillAtkinson-x8f]

what is this paint from

[@Kolbster2833]

I have never heard of a sterling single class until u said in this episode but they are quire looking engines don't u say

[@mjgillespie91]

sharon miller should be writing stuff like this

[@mjgillespie91]

what happened to jimmy and the others?

[@BlueBells5529]

i think your stating to be like britt alcroft ;)

[@dcg12b]

That would be Donald & Douglas, because there both Caledonian engines...

[@dcg12b]

Why? What about them?

[@SamTheMann-eg1dy]

Harry the Holden b12 you could call him

[@CABRALFAN27]

Hey dcg12b did you see my comment on the 2nd annivesery vid?

[@ejcmoorhouse]

I didn't like Emily until now you have changed my thoughts on her. If only she and all the new engines that HiT uses was this well developed.

[@dcg12b]

Of course not. Jimmy the Jinty is far from over. I just make the odd Thomas episode now and again.

[@ryleeculla5570]

What about Gordon he has suffered that all his siblings are dead

[@kennedy111199]
