This is what the theme song could have sounded if the TV series started airing in the 1960s edit: The cost of not only running but maintaining the engines, rolling stock, equipment, employee salaries, etc. must be through the roof.
@Planefan10003 жыл бұрын
I imagine it isn't as intense in the books; the only really "new" engines are Pip and Emma, and there are hundreds more HST sets and the multitude of spare parts to go with them. HSTs still run on the mainland; remove the NWR lettering and the BR Intercity blue and yellow and they would fit right in.
@randompersonwhocomments36453 жыл бұрын
While that could be true, what is the cost of maintaining a fleet of engines that are more than or nearing the 100 year mark, with the diesels, excluding pip and ema, probably reaching the 60-70 mark now. The amount of parts you have to have manufactured just for required maintenance would be a lot. While I don't doubt for a moment the hat family wouldn't have stockpiled spares, the problem still remains of needing to make new ones. If you can give me a realistic sized list of companies, each specializing with something, that could realistically work in the area that Sodor is supposed to be in, I will gladly shut up and take that answer and be satisfied.
@Planefan10003 жыл бұрын
@@randompersonwhocomments3645 I can point out: There are many heritage railways and mainline-certified steamies all over Britain that, if combined, would equal the NWR workforce. Most of the engines used date from the Grouping; some from before, and others are older still - Stepney was built in 1875, and Talyllyn and Dolgoch (by extension Skarloey and Rheneas) were built in the 1860s. In addition, diesels like the Class 37 and 47, built in the 1960s, are still in operational mainline service, and the Great Central Railway is looking to re-bridge the Loughborough Gap to complete the full route. The GCR acts like a mini-NWR, with its own mainline, period signalling and rolling stock. Sodor is quite a large area in its own right; in the Rev. Awdry's maps it creates a narrow channel between Sodor and the Isle of Man. While engines like Edward and James would be at risk, having no siblings to speak of, there are multiple examples of Black Fives like Henry and Great Western models like Duck and Oliver. Not to mention locomotives can share parts, and indeed the Bluebell Railway owns an LBSCR E4 'Birch Grove', which is basically a larger E2 with trailing wheels. You do make a point that creating quality spare parts for steamers is not easy - the boiler for 60163 Tornado was built in Meiningen Works in Germany, a facility that dedicates itself to maintaining steamers all over Europe. (The rest of the locomotive was built in Darlington Works.) You also make a point that the costs would be through the roof, which is why many of the heritage railways depend on funding to run and are usually quite small and contained.
@randompersonwhocomments36453 жыл бұрын
I take your points and they make sense. I will now stop talking and let you go do more important things than this, but this information that you have given me has given me a fresh perspective on rail preservation in Europe; I am eternally grateful for this wealth of information you have given me.

Sometime in the early fifties, a Sudrian composer wrote this ditty about Sodor’s famous eight. It was a smash hit, resulting in the song being played in almost every station on the island (much to Thomas’s annoyance). Unfortunately, the song was co-opted by a toy company in the 2000s for a rebrand of the television series and rewritten to replace Duck with Emily in accordance with changes made to the show that most of Sodor’s engines disagreed with.
