The History Of Annie, Clarabel, & Their Models: The History Of TTTE

[@Im_here170]

I like Annie and Clarabel because there’s such a simple design for basic coaches and I honestly love them more than the express coaches 😊😊😊

I always loved how well annie and clarabels designs worked with thomas, they're such an iconic trio. But they also work great with other tanks like percy, duck etc. I also love that they act as a voice of reason for thomas, taking sort of a motherly role for him.

[@lpclassic60]

For all my gripes with the CGI era, I really appreciate them giving Annie and Clarabel more screen time. Plus, their voices are spot on to how I always imagined them.

What splendid coaches! Much better than those beach huts on wheels." - Lady Hatt

[@jamessmithandgarrettsmith3623]

No one said a word.

[@truemetalsonic]

I love any episodes where Annie and Clarabel act as parental advisors (or aunts) to Thomas

[@isaaccabal7054]

As much as I told myself as a kid that Annie and Clarabell are two British girls following Thomas…. I have to agree that they really are parental advisor aunts for Thomas. Lol

[@Thegaminator348]

I always saw them as sisters to him

[@SpicyStars_]

Great episode of “The History Of”!! It was nice having an episode of some of the most important coaches here! Thank you for making this series!

[@deltarange1996]

I do want to see Salty or Duncan, maybe even a mini episode on Smudger

[@liambiniares3182]

Annie & Clarabel are super underrated. I really love how they were utilised in CGI especially as aort of aunt/mentor figures to Thomas. As much I dislike All-Engines Go! They seem to be the only characters they didn't mess up from what I've seen.

[@MatthewChenault]

Annie and Clarabelle are so charming.

Finally, the history of a non locomotive character.

“Those coaches are old and uncomfortable! Why don’t you use them as beach huts instead?”

Ahhh yes, the woman coaches who can now move by themselves in the reboot

Magically upgraded to Railcars

They are still no movable, its just that the animation is weird, but kinda good.

Random User, Timeless Existence, Shut up. Its not the best or the worst, its just "meh"

[@IowaTrainGay]

Never realized Clarabel was supposed to have a break compartment. I always wondered why Thomas never have a break coach. That answers the question!

[@teaoftraffic]

no guards were lost during the making of this source: dude trust me

[@Dat-Mudkip]

The only reason you can say that is because he managed to catch the train...

[@toyotaprius79]

Thanks Trainboy, I had always hoped for Annie and Clarabel to win a poll and get a video.

[@TheLaloClase28]

Fun fact: The Clarabel model of take along can be seen a space where it carries loads and suitcases of passengers

[@Superb_0wl]

Quite frankly its been a long time coming m glad u didnt make a poll this week cuz Annie & Clarabel always got the least vote but its finally here!

[@SodorTrain1225]

5:56 Such a nice picture.

[@Steamenginesunited3456]

Glad to hear the Great Discovery Thomas review will happen in future. I'm kinda glad this video was done first though. I love this style of video!

[@Jake_Josh]

I really want to know more about all the orange branch line coaches.

[@Shadowwand]

Gotta love the friction they have with James in Journey Beyond Sodor. They just hate rocketing down the line with James.

[@altermike3197]

I love Annie and Clarabel, especially in CGI

[@markusrogerson]

Nice video, thank you! I’d suggest Gordon’s express coaches - they seem to have changed quite a bit especially in the cgi era (being taller and narrower). Maybe the old Express coaches too (the fully green ones that Henry pulls in ‘coal’. Apparently they were double sided - teak on one and green on the other!)

[@TuShan18]

I've always wondered why Annie and Clarabel looked slightly different. I can't believe it never clicked to me that Clarabel was a break coach.

[@isaaccabal7054]

My first episode I watched, I’m glad you’re doing this and i immediately subscribed. Tbh as a kid who follows the tapes… I realize that they never really introduced them… they just became a part of Thomas when he got his branch line.

[@aoiasahinashusband]

Yes!!! Favorite characters alongside Thomas, I voted for them every time!

[@caiomansooglorious]

Your intro is the best

[@duckthegreatwesternengine4340]

I love Annie and Clarabel they are some of my favourite characters

[@kennethcohen1777]

Finally! I’ve been voting for this video for the longest time :)

[@lonesailordee3886]

Glad to see the series return!

[@strasburgrailfan90]

Finally! I wanted this for so long!

[@lukeslocomotives]

Hi Trainboy 👋 keep up the good content

[@thatdudederek8]

It would be amazing if we saw Spencer next by the way good video

[@josephguzman1167]

Ayo another trainboy video *nice.*

[@TomDavias]

Seeing you've done A&C you might as well do Henrietta next, don't forget to talk about Elsie too when you eventually talk about Toby's coaches

[@TrainKidSid]

I just saw the community post what good timing

[@officialmediamike]

Great choice video! Also your monocle Thomas icon is the best!

[@SaulsSodor]

After watching this I want to know the history behind Henrietta

[@jaredfranco10]

3:19 HE MENTIONED MY FAVORITE EPISODE OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Scott_3F]

Next is the brake down train or the rolling stock (cars, van, tankers) or hey we might get the troublesome van

[@dannythehipster5644]

The Wii Sports music at the end really adds to this.

[@steamtram7416]

I recently bought an ertl Annie and Clarabel and they look so cool when put with ertl thomas,i hope soon we can get a video on the history of the troublesome trucks

[@Lord_Foxy13]

Finally the one I’ve been voting for all this time

[@left7854]

Ahhh yes my fav 2 coaches

[@buddtubeyt7536]

I’m glad you made this :)

[@Bighuge12]

Great video

[@ungurdagda813]

I didn't know I wanted this until you posted it. Well done! Much more interesting than another engine video! Not that I don't like those.

[@Running-with-skizers]

Thank you for this video I've been waiting

[@thomasfan2054]

Really Awesome!!!

[@mainlinestudios1441]

WHO THE HECK DISLIKED THIS MASTERPIECE OF A VIDEO?

[@noah_farmer]

Yay I was wondering when more of these would come out

[@BigLadStudios]

I'm so glad you did this anyway, I always voted for em.

[@DouglasParkinson]

I believe I read on the wiki, that the RWS illustrations were based on Midland suburban bogie coaches. I'm not sure what prompted the change to Stroudley designs, other than kit availability, but they do work well with Thomas in the shows.

[@SpiritEngine]

Well spotted on Annie's front buffer beam! I thought that nobody would ever mention this quirk.

[@TFM1976]

Impressive!!! keep up the good work

[@amyrodgers4252]

I dunno why, but Annie and Clarabel just give off 'kind but fussy old lady' vibes

[@SteamTrainTy]

Yay! Finally! (I voted for them)

[@CelticStarLineOfficial]

I voted for it I'm so happy that you did Annie and Clarabel if you didn't i woild be sad thank you

[@EtBEF_02]

Gotta love that intro

[@nikerailfanningttm9046]

“They complain from time to time” Ah yes, Annie and Clarabel; the *KARENS OF SODOR*

[@Cleznez]

I remember getting a CGI style Take-N-Play Annie at Toys R Us, being confused as hell because she didn’t have her shocked expression

[@westernstudios2484]

I would love the next one to be the Troublesome Trucks as the next TTTE episode

[@mrgeebers]

Update on the resin models: There are actually two versions of the resin models one from 1998-2004 and 2005-2008. During the production of Calling All Engines, The Season 5 Annie and Clarabel models were found to be in poor conditions and emergency repairs were impossible, thus the newer resin models used from Season 9-12. Newer 2005 Resin models are owned by Hara, while the original 1998 Models are owned by ThomasTankMerch.

[@TheHylianBatman]

I would love to see one of these for the branch line coaches!

[@abicyclebuiltfortwo1368]

Fun Fact: Annie and Clarabel were Push-Pull Coaches in the Railway Series. Its why Thomas is sometimes seen going Backwards with a Red Tail Lamp I never knew that until I watched Tug's Trains

[@movieguru1296]

Do you have a video on the Mountain Railway? In the book series with Culdee, Godred, etc. and why they didn’t make any stories about them. I’m really curious why the locomotives had two faces, one on either side of them.

[@CassandraPantaristi]

Do Gordon's Express coaches next!

[@eeeeee-dr5kz]

Do more of these videos there amazing 😉

[@Hammerandhearth]

The guard compartment projections are called a "duckets". Took me years to learn that.

[@User-3O3]

i lov the Annie-oo and Clarabel-cloo, lehe. D: :3

[@TimRuffle]

I was too old for Thomas when the first TV series aired but I watched it anyway because... of course I was going to watch it. It might have been the first shot in the title sequence that had me shouting at the telly, "Annie and Clarabel aren't four-wheelers!" It immediately soured me on the adaptations which, unlike the books, were devoid of charm, imagination, feeling or any interest in or enthusiasm for railways. Now bloody Mattel are trying to tell the Talyllyn and other preserved railways that they can't have Thomas days without paying an exorbitent royalty for use of "their" intellectual property. Presumably the accountants were in charge of creative decisions and it was just simpler and cheaper to make four wheel coaches.

[@stingky3689]

What would the world be without the 2 faithful coaches that is Annie & Clarabel

[@BuggsOgden]

I've often wondered why Annie and Clarabel ended up as 4 wheel cars when the storybook illustrations and some early models show them with bogies. Any thoughts on that? BTW, I really enjoy your videos.

[@MrJoeyWheeler]

If y ou're going to start doing rolling stock, you might as well do some big special covering multiple rolling stock items at once, since a lot of them share history together, are one-offs, or are very, very short-lived. This is particularly the case among the trucks.

[@LNERA3PRODUCTIONS]

I would like to see the expres coaches next

[@zech3398]

hey trainboy are you planing to make a reboot review?

[@goldenfreddy362]

[@Maximillion12]

Can you please do Hennretta next

[@reapersteelwolf4327]

you know, my favorite character in the show is stephany and i wish they brought him back

[@joelcartagena953]

I sometimes wonder why Annie and Clarabel's TV series model were designed and appeared quite different compared to how the Rev.W.Awdry made their models for his model train layout and the railway series books.

[@medwaymodelrailway7129]

Nice Thomas story

[@serbianrailfanning967]

Why are theese videos popping up just now? They are awesome!
