The Class 08 Twins: Behind The Scenes Of Splatter, Dodge, Arry & Bert- The History Of TTTE

[@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho]

My headcanon regarding these two is that Splatter and Dodge were being trialed during the events of Magic Railroad before they were both sent back to the Other Railway for association with Diesel 10’s confusion and delay. In my own Thomas AU, though, they’re British Railway shunters who later came to Sodor alongside their cousins Sidney and Paxton. The “Splodge” duo currently reside at the Ironworks; while Sid/Pax reside at the Dieselworks

[@singletona082]

Makes sense to me and yes The Fat Controller would be most cross at the confusion and delay those two along with 10 caused.

[@kompst_tu]

My two favorite pairs of twin diesels! Wonderful custom as well, mate

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Thank you so much brother man :)

@@ItsTrainBoy aye you're the one posting the vids, thank *you*

[@DanTheMan2150AD]

Splatter and Dodge have been utterly robbed of their planned reappearances in the show. Such a shame the both of them and Diesel 10 weren’t given anything major to do after Magic Railroad.

[@LoveBert]

In subscriber to you and I love your thunderbirds videos

[@radioactivevolt]

At least Diesel 10 has Day of the Diesels, terrible movie, but it's something

[@Basinrails]

@@radioactivevolt He also reappeared in Calling All Engines and made a cameo in the Great Discovery

[@agrady7216]

Are Splatter and Dodge Mainlanders? Were they likely from the Mainland, which could be another reason why they never appeared again?

[@Lampironstudios215]

Personally I'd recommend a super obscure character such as whiff

[@Cnw8701]

That unused face @5:15 is frightening!

[@dragonblaster-vu8wz]

I like to imagine that Splatter and Dodge pled guilty to their crimes of confusion and delay after The Magic Railroad, and were thus placed in the witness protection program as Arry and Bert

[@Henryfan1Productions]

I am completely aware as well that Splatter and Dodge were originally intended to return in Day of the diesels in the great race along with Dennis, I wish that it happened so we could’ve seen more of the two silly diesels

[@cameronmefford]

I wish we got more of Splatter and Dodge. The duo of sarcastic incompetent henchmen is a favorite trope of mine, and it doesn't exist anywhere else on Sodor. I’d have loved it if they could have stayed on as cronies for Deisel, helping him in his schemes but being the first to laugh at him when things didn't go his way

[@daansstuff2952]

They were planned for day of the diesels and the great race but were scrapped

[@Traitorness]

They absolutely live up to expectations!

[@ritchiesiepman5511]

Did you know that Arry and Bert's color design was based on the NS (Dutch Railways) class 600 diesel shunters

[@greycatturtle7132]

Interesting

yeah i think i know why you "accidentally" showed your custom either way i really liked this installment.keep up the good work

[@owendinostudios1200]

Nice, another Trainboy vid

[@MrTrainerProductions]

That would've been a great idea if 'Arry and Bert's models weren't recycled into Splatter and Dodge. Splatter and Dodge's OWN models would've been built for Thomas And The Magic Railroad and 'Arry and Bert's models would've just been given a matte finish for Series 6. Of course, Splatter and Dodge can still be Class 08 diesels if you know what I mean.

[@Bulbasaur617]

I figured that Splatter and Dodge's models were eventually changed into Aray and Bert's model. Good job on covering this.

[@FriedFrogLegsAnimations]

Your work and animation research rocks

[@Simba-1996]

I know this TTTE history series is mostly on the model series but could you do a video on the RWS Character BCE aka Big City Engine

[@JoseFernandez-cd7ew]

Fun fact, Hornby seems to have wanted to replicate what they did in the movie, since theirnArry and Bert models have Splatter and Dodge faces on them.

[@TheEdwardWarrior]

That’s because it’s been rumoured that Hornby were going to make Splatter and Dodge, but were changed at the last minute to Arry and Bert, hence their faces

[@oliverwarren-cole9426]

For the unused faces of all of the engines you should make replica of them to put of your collection to see what they would look like on the engines if they would used in the show

[@TheBrickGuy7939]

The Class 08 is *everywhere.*

[@nolancarey4500]

They are one of the most successful diesel trains in the world...

[@nikerailfanningttm9046]

@@nolancarey4500 lol, not really. Only 996 were built. The worlds most successful diesel ever built was and still is the EMD SD40-2 with 3,982 built.

[@noah_farmer]

I like that in calling all engines you can see the purple paint under Arry/Bert from when he was dodge

[@Shunteration]

Jesus, that laughing face is horrifying. Can you imagine any of them with THAT wide smile in the movie?

[@User-3O3]

I thought so too. They may have left it out for that very reason - I know I would've done.

[@TheEldritchHyena]

Even though that face was never used in the film, most merchandise of Splatter portrays him with it.

[@FurbyMan]

I feel the same way about Diesel 10's screaming face, which was actually used in the movie lol. I guess they were just trying to make the characters more expressive for the big screen, but it just turned out horrifying lol.

[@User-3O3]

@@FurbyMan Is that the one you see when he's destroying Tidmouth Sheds and he's being threatened with sugar? It's pretty goofy.

[@amitysluzara2022]

I love how Splodge and Barry share models but are polar opposites

[@SonicJrandSarah]

I remember a long time ago, I had done a video about some behind the scenes facts and at the time, it was thought that Arry & Bert and Splatter & Dodge's models were the same models and a lot of people kept telling me this was wrong, even through I said in the description I already knew that! Thank goodness this has since been confirmed to be true after all. I just wish people would read the description of videos BEFORE commenting on what I got wrong because I say in the description of my videos that I already know this info so people wouldn't point it out. Not so they would point it out anyway. For some time, I had to disable the comments on my video because I got sick and tired of people telling me the same things over and over again.

[@milligano1235]

A really interesting engine or engines I would like to know the history of is Mighty Mac, I just think they’re a really unique interesting design and must have some history behind them

[@radioactivevolt]

Some fun fact I know is that an engine with the same basis as Mighty Mac was planned for season 6 and they were called "Little Giant"

[@milligano1235]

@@radioactivevolt really?!? That’s pretty cool I wonder why they didn’t include it

[@radioactivevolt]

@@milligano1235 Maybe budget reasons? They were yellow/mustard and apparently one side would've been energetic and optimistic and the other one quiet and pesimistic, interesting concept in my opinion

I was very informed that Splatter and Dodge never came back was because their models were damaged. Never knew they were repurposed!

[@illiniguy34]

I remember as a kid thinking Arry and Bert were originally Dodge and Splatter, and changed their names and paint schemes after Diesel 10’s demise. Also looking at that unused laughing face, Ghost Face anyone? I mean, Magic Railroad and Scream 3 both came out the same year……

[@notdukey]

5:16 this is supposed to be a face? for the show?

[@darkseid1341]

I guess the guy Chris lioyd who said that splatter and dodge's models got lost another words never return from canada was not true. So basically when splatter and dodge's model was brought back, they painted them back to arry and bert. But to be more specific it doesn't mean splatter and dodge are arry and bert, because if you think about it they have beards and splatter and dodge don't, and second arry and bert appeared in season 5 which was before thomas and the magic railroad, so I guess the studio couldn't afford another diesel model to paint into splatter and dodge. It would've been cool if splatter and dodge came back.

[@quarrylocomotiveproduction5439]

Some things would have been better off if they painted arry in a dark blue
