GAUGE THE ISSUE: What Became Of The Railway Grapevine?

[@steveng6271]

Ladies if: •He has a KZbin channel •Is perfectly capable or putting himself down •despises the E2 •respects people’s opinions He’s not your man He’s Chris eden green and he’s here to watch the world burn.

[@terryaltherr2481]

The LB&SCR E2?

[@edwardbull3045]

Terry Altherr yes

[@FutureRailProductions]

@@edwardbull3045 I still prefer them. And not just because of Thomas.

[@trademark2488]

All those things = Chris

[@TheTrainMaster15]

trademark 2 All those things = sane man

[@FlyingThistleStudios]

If anything was learned here, its that we all need a 3D Chris for all our model railways.

[@mlippert]

Yeah, and they exist in up to 5" gauge. That's about the size of those superhero display models. He could live on my bookshelf!

[@ieuanbriers]

Here, here.

[@TankEngine97]

The only time I had heard of the Railway Grapevine was from your 'Defining Disneyfication' edition of GTI. After hearing about what they do and who they targeted, all I can say is: Good riddance to them.

[@RockyRailroadProductions_B0SS]

So, in short: Railway Grapevine snuffed themselves

[@jackclarke1220]

RockyRailroad Animation Congratulations, they played themselves.

[@The_New_IKB]

They got yeeted

[@CXR-gk4lw]

The_New_IKB 4472 XD true

[@StaxRail]

When you said 'up to 5 inch gauge' and 'trademark SLIPS pose' I immediately went to Hardy's Hobbies. Thanks for the link, I would love to have a large figure....

[@SuperTrainStationH]

Only humans could manage to take a nice little thing like railways and make them into something to be miserable over.

[@bskorupk]

I think the 1940's term "Drip" can be readily applied to someone who melts themselves at the sight of what they view (by contemporary definitions) as a "Snowflake" :)

[@vexstenxv3480]

Now I know what the Railway Grapevine is. Btw Chris, have a merry Christmas!

[@bumgardenerkreme1044]

Keep on keeping on Chris, one of the good guys !

[@Ross665]

Had a genuine laugh at the end jokes. Thanks for that.

[@boxcarwillies1603]

Models of Chris? I'll "take two" ;)

[@jockdouglass3824]

Nice

[@TerminalSports45]

11:40 Bravo, Mr. Eden Green, I wasn't expecting that joke to appear, it brought a big chuckle to my face.

You can’t really tell how many jump cuts he uses normally until he shows the video Also I LOVE the British idioms and metaphors.

“I’m Chris and I’m here to watch the world burn.” - Chris Eden-Green 2018

[@KPen3750]

Well done. I have loved your work for a while. I have wondered because I volunteer at the railroad museum for my state in Pennsylvania. It has sort of got me thinking about a sole slip series on the locomotives of the museum, as nearly all of them are sole survivors themselves (of course with your permission, I would not plagiarize your work). But the long and short of my comment is don’t ever stop being awesome yourself

[@jonathandartnell7473]

That ending was brilliant, Keep at it, I do quite like this style of editorial, works well with your persona.

[@porterhouseeng]

There is a railway grapevine 2.0 created on the 7th December 2018 so looks like they are trying to start again

[@InventorZahran]

Report them for ban-circumvention!

[@james.black981]

You closing one liner is better than ANY CSI one liner. Nice work

[@steamsearcher]

Especially when the E1 was so good? Just think Terrier extended!! Unexpectedly got 2 sets of wheels suitable for in 5 inch gauge!! Chris how does your firing a Terrier Locomotive pose go again? Yes we shared a carriage on the Bluebell Giants of Steam and the track was fine!!! Love David and Lily.

[@warriorstar2517]

If I may, Mr Eden-Green, I have a suggestion: why not create a series about lesser known Locos that no longer exist? I'm sure many people will find it fascinating.

[@warriorstar2517]

And if it's all the same, I think the LNER Ivatt R1 is a good place to start. The info can be found on the LNER encyclopedia if you're interested.

[@warriorstar2517]

Glad some people like my idea. I've always been interested in obscure locomotives.

[@mlippert]

I've heard there's no E2 left. Maybe that could spark his interest?

[@marichat1256]

NO E2S

[@vincentmorris8431]

Urie G16s?

[@ConorTreacy-BigRedSEO]

Dude, this is perfect. Great response!

[@jack_the_lantern7429]

Might put one of these figurines standing next to a loco inside a shed for a little easter egg on my model railway. Great vid btw.

[@HighOutlook]

"I'm Chris and I am here to watch the world burn" That has to be the most quotable quote in the world!

[@NirateGoel]

So you managed to kill The Railway Grapevine? Without even trying....

[@weekendrailroader]

Ohmagosh, you look exactly like your caricatures in the other videos. Really enjoying the series. Keep up the good work. :)

[@Jaidencharlotte]

11:10 I think Chris is out of breath

[@MDHGames]

Congratulations on 8,000 subscribers Chris and team! Not sure if I did congratulate you already but if not, awesome job! Best of luck for this year and looking forward to what you bring!

[@justahillbilly7777]

Chris: Puts on sunglasses. Ev'ryone that has watched this video: Oh boy. Pun time.

[@dawsonfradin9071]

You made some great points here Chris, but I was distracted by that cool bass in the background. Do you play?

[@That_One_Guy_In_A_Band]

I believe he's in a band, yes. I want to know what kind of bass it is, though.

[@KameronCousin]

This was great Chris. :D

[@jeremywilcox]

Glad boredom led me to finding all these; my elder son really loved this one! Great ending.....

[@SteamboatWilley]

Sort of want a OO Chris Eden-Green for my layout now.

[@FutureRailProductions]

I want an O scale version.

[@TomedysTrains]

Congrats on having your likeness rendered as a model train figure Chris! It would be cool to have a model of you in my collection, maybe a few with each one being a different size. Have you ever had your likeness rendered in Dovetail Games' train simulation games? I have, I'm one of the pedestrians in both Dovetail Games' New York to Philadelphia Northeast Corridor and Marias Pass for Train Simulator 2019 and I'm also the fireman in Smokebox's Central Pacific American types, Union Pacific American types and Central Pacific Ten Wheelers also for Train Simulator 2019. It would be cool to see you rendered in Train Simulator 2019 or Train Sim World too!

[@richturnermusic]

Very funny! Kind of explains why, as a railway enthusiast active on social media, I have never heard of the Railway Grapevine. 😉

[@parkerproductions4546]

You just HAD to include your signature theme tune at 11:48 xD

[@TERRYBARTLETTRAILMAN28]

Exactly Chris hopefully things are well with you

[@ejcmoorhouse]

Got real surreal at the end there, now I know how movie stars feel.

[@Spud607]

Any chance of another trip to ireland for more sole slips? (JCB =Jumpin' cuttin' bas***d. I h8 jcbs as much as i h8 the E2s.)

[@TotoDG]

Thumbs up for that pun.

[@olly5764]

ah, but if you did get all your info from one site, you'd never have found out about my pink leg warmers!

[@ChristheXelent]

Exactly! Actual resources are where it's at

[@thetrashman8506]

Well at least Justice is served

[@westportalrailfan1035]

Could you eventually review some AUS or USA steam locomotives?

[@DanielChannel57]

He has reviewed the USATC S160s, which were American-built.

[@ChristheXelent]

And recently the 2' gauge Baldwin 4-6-0PTs from WW1

[@Buynot]

@@ChristheXelent If you're ever able to afford it, you should make a trip across the Atlantic and review some mainline US steam like the Nickel Plate Road S-2's or the Denver and Rio Grande K-36's

[@dakotaraptor5918]

7:28 well i must have missed you or something because i was there too, as a volunteer

Someone caption this man's quote

[@Dallen9]

Damn.... Though hearing a rumor through the Grapevine Railroad about you might be amusing.

[@antiussentiment]

This is wonderful genius stuff. My lady and I laughed out aloud at your well made points and I shared it to a bunch of my feminist friends who are now probably all on eBay buying this first model train set. No doubt containing an A4 locomotive (despite my assertions that if it's not Churchward? It's not worth it).. BTW. What on earth is with the disclaimer at the beginning of your videos? The people who are likely to be pissed off by what you say, will still be pissed off. ..and the rest of us just get what you're on about.

[@ChristheXelent]

Good to hear from you Andrew, long time not speak! It always helps to have a hard copy of the moral high ground to outline your intentions, weather it's effective or not.

[@dieseld261]

Apply ice to burned area

[@DavidPeacock1972]

I was and I stress was an new subscriber until I came across this video. I have to confess I've never even heard of this Facebook page before until you mentioned it in a passive aggressive way in your last video so that people would go to this Facebook page and demand it canceled. It is somewhat ironic you mention the navis as they were real men who would have dealt with issues as men do. I'm sure if a word such as "snowflake" existed back then to describe someone who was sensitive to the slightest of provocation it would have been laughed off. Now we live in a world were one has to be silenced if another has hurty feelings. Of course I cannot blame those who have hurty feelings at the slightest of provocation that should really be laughed off as the media have indoctrinated people into a victim mentality. Unfortunately this has led us to where we are at today where people are so divided that it was easy for government's and those behind the curtain make 2020 the largest social experiment history has ever seen. The unfortunate thing about all this hurty feelings agenda is that we are so distracted by our hurty feelings we do not see what is coming down the line (no pun intended) and we will all not escape what is coming. By demanding action being taken instead of just laughing it off, one has effectively proven that one is sensitive to the slightest of provocation.

[@Commander_Scott258]

Like a cure for cancer that's just never going to happen. I am not offended but that's a little harsh.

In 00 scale Hornby did do some for a few years (other than Thomas) that are fairly accurate for their age.

Amongst a player of other instruments, yes

[@NYMR-Pacific]

You Have to Admit,That Chris Figure Meme Sounds Funny. (Im So Sorry To Sound Mean)

[@MysticMindAnalysis]

I find it interesting how you use the term "Social Justice Warrior", since that term is so over-used (describing anyone who advocates for social justice/isn't a bigot) it's lost all meaning. It's hard to find anyone who fits that description, since the term is so loose it's difficult to define the phrase to begin with! Hell, you (Chris) could be called an "SJW" just for mentioning that transphobia exists. I think it does well to be aware of the language we use, even if its referring to a vague archetype of people who may or may not be based on specific individuals. I bring this up partly due to the term being used most often by those opposing social justice (which Chris demonstrably does not), and partly because the actual topic of the Railway Grapvine is so unremarkable that it's hardly worth commenting on.

[@1897_lmb_]

[@NotSoSpookyGuy]

Yeah the E2 was absolutely awful in every technical regard

[@davidwhiting1761]

The only reason you know anything about the E2 is because of Thomas the Tank Engine. If Awdry had never settled on Thomas being an E2 no one would jump to the defense of the E2. Awdry's original sketch for Thomas didn't even look like an E2 but more like an LNER J50 with an extended coal bunker, and that would have been better than an E2.
