What's creepy is that, at 9:52, as Emily is telling Arthur that "If you're not careful, you will join them", Percy's bunker is peeking out to the left of Emily, and that Percy also shunted James' first train, which took place too far away to be natural.

[@Autumner42]

I feel like Proteus is either something akin to the "soul" of Sodor itself or perhaps the first engine to die on the island way back and thus a guarding spirit. It's fascinating to see the interactions with Lady over the series, he seems to hold an almost authority like power that she has to obey when he uses it. Favorite character by far.

[@croatiarailways]

Who knows what powers Proteus has, but from what we saw here Lady was preparing a silent attack on Arthur inside magic railroad (forest) but this time Proteus had blocked her way so she backed down. It seems there are multiple entrances on the magic railroad: 1. is trough Henry's forest where it leads to an old shed where Gordon and Oliver disappeared 2. is on the Peel Godred branch where Percy was captured by the Lady 3. is where Thomas had bumped his truck into the buffers after James had a accident with a leaky Oil tanker 4. is where Proteus stopped Lady. Another place which can also have magic buffers is the old mine on Thomas's branch line.

[@Autumner42]

@croatiarailways ​ The forest lines could be her "Little Grotto" from the TATMR movie, and it almost feels like Lady could use any buffers once she leaves the forest and is free roaming the island. But yes, does look like a silent attack was about to happen and Proteus stopped her, probably why she needed her puppets near the end.​

I can’t lie Arthurs driver was being a bit too chill with the whole chase thing if i was Arthurs driver i would be hauling ass outta there

[@ashhaep82]

Well, that was an incredible episode for certain. The inclusion of the music from 'Runaway Train' was a nice touch. The scene where Proteus sends one of the siren-controlled engines away was very interesting, he seems to be the only engine that can fend off Lady and her forces by himself, indicating he is a powerful spiritual being. This makes me wonder, is Proteus God himself? At the end of the episode, the referend states that "he's still watching over us", hinting that there is a higher power watching over Sodor and its inhabitants. It makes me think that Proteus is the physical incarnation of God, and he is doing all he can to prevent Lady from continuing her reign of terror across the island of Sodor. Although it doesn't seem he can always save the day, as we don't see Emily help Arthur pull the special train, so she has likely been 'taken' as well. From what she said when she told the story to Arthur, about the engines not being truly dead, makes me believe that Lady has their souls trapped somehow, and if she is defeated, the souls of the engines will be released and all the missing engines will return, alive. Hopefully Proteus, Warship and all the other military forces and active parties involved in fighting Lady can continue to save the day in the future. Can't wait for the next one.

I've been following this story ever since it began back in 2022. I've had, and still do, have my fair share of nit-picks. But they don't go further than just that. This one has to be my favourite yet! I've always been a fan of the story told, but I feel like this episode has been the one to completely surpass the previous ones. The chase scene between James, Arthur and the husks was genuinely one that made me nervous, for a moment I thought James would be gone for good! Glad to see an episode where NOBODY gets killed (apart from James' crew and train). Hope to see more like it in the future!

I could be wrong, but perhaps the engine at 6:18 is Duck rather than Oliver? Oliver has a smaller dome while Duck's is a bit larger and the one seen in the backgroud looks a bit too large to be Oliver's, not to mention is looks a bit too low to be Oliver too since his boiler and side tanks sit higher too.

Man during that chase scene i can't help but feel sorry for James as that was likely a very traumatic site Seeing the "corpses" (i guess) of his friends chasing him and Arthur down must have been quite the scary site Especially since he had to see all of the engines chasing him and Arthur down

[@goldwind729]

Honestly Arthur, as an LMS 2MT, is gonna be my favorite by far, he’s literally the first engine to escape being chased by lady and the husks. The even more impressive fact is that he quite literally carried James too, so Arthur is just an absolute unit.

[@sodormailcoachstudios]

Words can not even begin to describe how glad I am that James is okay, I thought for sure he'd kick the bucket, but I'm worried Lady and her minions will try to get him again, and what if they succeeded the next time.

Loved that this one had some build up in the beginning and some very good action in the later half or third. Getting to see a more aggressive version of the taken characters as well as more involvement from Proteus being protective is great! Also loved all the hidden details scattered through out and the atmosphere. Can't wait to see how this continues and keep up the good work! Wanted to also note that when Arthur and James were running away, the scrapped body of Gordon was there as well as the standing stones, which they said they had removed (if I remember correctly), so it's interesting how the things that are "missing" are in the forest as well now.

[@Xx_Its_Oli_xX]

Ok, this by far is one of my favorite TTTE series of all time. The climax was great, music was pretty good in my opinion, and small details of the husks of the engines are amazing easter eggs. The only thing I would recommend to improve on is the voice acting, since it’s kinda quiet for me, but that’s it. Also theory for next video: The next video in this series will be about Henry since we haven’t seen or heard about him much in the series, possibly him getting killed by Lady and the husks or him escaping but finding more truth about what happened to the other engines. Also, we have no idea what happened to Donald, Duck, or Percy, since Duck and Percy crashed and Donald got stopped by Warship. So does that mean that all 3 of them are truly dead now, or are they all still alive? Is Toby and Gordon still just husks now, or are they also part of the minion army? If all of that is true, is Oliver and Toad the last 2 minions of Lady? Are they all truly ghosts/husks now? Can they possibly be revived? Will we actually get to properly see the engines’ faces? Will we ever know what was the process of the engines getting turn into ghosts? What is Lady’s goals in the series? What do her and Proteus have against each other? What will Proteus do in the plot? I really need to know these answers, and I do can’t wait for the next episode! Also, at 17:22, you can hear the magic railroad sound when Thomas is bumping 5 trucks together. Next moment, he has 4. I assume that the truck that was pushed into the buffers is the same one that James and Arthur see right before the chase.

this video was literally so heart racing lmao the part where Lady decided to send the husks of Percy, Duck, Oliver and Donald to chase James and Arthur down was really gut-wrenching plus i love the little details while we were in James` view in the chase. Lady sitting in a siding just as they passed her. Another husk which looked like Gordon`s. It`s all very cool and entertaining honestly. I was literally screaming for Arthur to turn around and remember Percival`s warning. And i didn`t realize this at first, but Emily was not there with Arthur to pull the special train. So was she taken as well? Plus, you hiding the husks in some hidden places before the chase was really eerie. Knowing that Lady could send them out at ANY given time. And Proteus helping James and Arthur out of the forest by switching the Husks` to another line, and switching their line out to the mainline was really a relief to see, knowing that he could maybe out-power Lady in one of the future episodes. All that`s left of the numbered engines are Edward, Henry, James, and Douglas. So, i think Lady, is going after the main cast, which is the Tidmouth Team. With the attempt to capture James failing, and one of her husks (Donald) have been shot, she`s going to go berserk. I know she will. And the buffer warping sound effect, at 17:26 and when at the beginning of the chase where a truck was pushed down the line and disappearing. There`s more than one of those? If it is, then those are going to put Lady in a huge advantage. She can teleport her husks from any of those magic buffers, and maybe ambush lone engines. OH, AND ALSO, THE PART WHERE THE CHASE WAS STARTING, JAMES SAYING NOT AGAIN MAY HAVE IMPLIED THAT HE WAS CHASED DOWN INTO THE FOREST AS WELL, MAKING HIM LOSE IS DRIVER AND FIREMEN, AND HIS COAL TRUCKS, MAYBE THATS WHY HE ENDED UP THERE. PLUS THE PART WHERE THEY PASSED THE GORDON-LIKE HUSK, THEY WENT PAST THE STONES, WHICH IS MAYBE WHY THEY WERE CHASED DOWN, *THAT* FOREST COULD BE LADY`S LAIR.

[@stephenbond1990]

46:18 Something I haven't seen mentioned yet but I think is very important, there are soldiers who witness Arthur and James leaving the shed with Donald chasing them, a shed they immediately inspect and see it couldn't possibly have held the train that just exited it or allowed them enough run up to reach the speed they were if it had. Warship and the MoD have their first solid lead to Lady's lair and potentially a way to take this battle to her. Another thing to note is that the MoD refer to those taken as "The Deceived", which has interesting implication not least of which is that this has happened before. Does this mean Lady's been active on the island before? (the Vicar's apparent knowledge of what's happening implies so) or are there similar entities on the mainland? Proteus is at least as powerful as Lady (assuming the engine he blocks is her, otherwise he's powerful enough to deny her thralls) which confirms there's at least one more. Interesting developments that I'm looking forward to seeing explored in future installments.

[@smaximationsmotions]

I think what makes this series really good is the ambiguity of everything. A lot of the little details are left up to our imaginations to fill in the blanks. I think a good example of the are the designs of all the captured engines. Yes on the surface we all know they are the same models, but with that brief glimpse of Gordon in 411 we can imagine most of the engines have followed suit. They have no pupils or irises just empty white voids, but we're never shown this because we rarely get to see their faces. and the concept of the engines looking like Machines when their faces are facing away comes into effect too. We know something is wrong and they are not the same as before. Not showing their faces makes them feel so in human and non living any more. I think the only critique of this series i can give is that the voice acting is really not my cup of tea. It's not the same person doing all the voices i son't vibe with. it's more so the quality is just really off. it's like everyone is whispering and i constantly have to turn my volume up. only to be startled by normal sound effect played at a higher volume because of the frequent volume changes. Never the less, I've tuned into this series since the first instalment, and can't wait to see more.

I’m just glad no one else was taken this time, but that was pretty creepy, and nice to see that they have some Sort of help

[@zakthemrconductor5920]

They still live in another dimension! What an outstanding piece of work and the lore that was dropped really builds more to the story and the like easter eggs of the stones is just amazing 😃👍

[@lexluther5398]

My favorite episode. D10 came in clutch

[@MelosNotHere]

45:53 never realized there was rusted remains of an engine on the left. looks like Gordon but I thought his remains were scrapped? very mysterious. I love it

[@TheOrangeTractorOffical]

This episode was fantastic, I really enjoyed James today and that chase scene was icing on the cake. Voice acting seemed to step up once again as well! Music choices were good as per, and visuals were really good. My one complaint is the night scenes being way to dark even on full brightness. If that could be improved that’s be very good. Overall this is the best episode yet, keep up the good work and Merry Christmas to you

[@Rocketuber]

This is my favorite episode of the whole bunch. I love the action sequence with James and Arthur!

[@mouseylings6394]

45:24 The scene of them running away seeing the missing engines and the standing stone is actually scary

[@tuckercarroll9462]

You can bet diesel was so happy to get his claw on one of them finally

[@ReallyReliable]

I love how the husks of the engines that Lady took sound like zombies at 44:57

[@pokebreeder2517]

so i have an idea, the 5 og engines, thomas, edward, henry, james and donald after hearing james encounter with arthur go to confront warship and demand to know what is going on and what he is hiding.

[@amitysluzara2022]

I was really nervous that James or Arthur wouldve died in this so thank titan they didnt. Very interesting that Proteus has that power I look forward to learning more

[@sashathetankengine]

Dang, I was hoping that James wouldn’t join them but neither him or Arthur joined the damned! Really like the fact you made this episode take place during the winter and a snow storm! Really nice atmosphere and ups the stakes! Also like the backstory you gave to Arthur and gave him a bit of depth! Can’t wait to see what comes next! Also what happened to James’ crew?

This was amazing! This is the most we’ve seen of Lady’s lair and the sound of the magic buffers! And the engines being chased by the ghosts of their former friends! And Ten - or Warship omg - saving James and Arthur! The fact that the entire island pretty much knows about Lady and the ghosts is great too. As well as Warship becoming friends with James?? This is amazing, i’m so excited to see what happens next and I can’t wait to see how this all ends.

[@themechanic.9545]

Seeing Proteus stop what appears to be a Spectre (or Lady) makes me think that he could be part of the story. He could be a guardian angel for the engines, and that is my guess.

At least 3

Holy fuck, this was good. The setting, the story, the music, the feel, the atmosphere, EVERYTHING, all the way down to the last minute or two. Well done.

[@thinaphonpetsiri9907]

Is it just me or all the engines were a little more dirty than last few episodes? I kinda like it though, it’s quite realistic as the real steam engine usually covers in coal dust. It also helps visualize how the railway was struggling. P.S. I also love how you use UpsideNow them in your video, his theme is awesome.

[@KashMugen14]

Lady’s Human Form , Is gotta be known by now . She literally froze up James water due to the weather. The Whole demons chase was crazy , Duck & Percy Crashing into each other , Oliver coming , Lady watching , Gordon’s Scrapped coming from underneath & Donald chasing after them to only get stopped from D10 (Warship) . We should get a trailer or preview for the next show .

[@IAmEvilTree]

18:23 Nice to know that Porter is safe and sound. That chase scene was amazing, the pace, not showing the faces of Lady's thralls, and especially the atmosphere. I've walked before in the snow early morning when it's still dark; the different lighting you get in that environment is very spooky, just like here. Proteus taking a more active role, Warship seemingly confirming that the deceived engines can be terminated (if only temporarily), the first proof that Lady can be beaten with no casualties; things are heating up but I wonder how it will end. We haven't seen Henry for a while and his encounter with the lights in the forest seems to be distinct but related to what's happening here. Maybe he might play a key role working with Proteus and these SCP Foundation-looking military guys in stopping Lady.

[@croatiarailways]

It's actually Ministry of defense not SCP and Warship belongs to MoD. 🙂

[@stephenbond1990]

3:17 It's a brief shot during the 'God Rest Ye' montage but Henry is okay and working.

it’s from The Missing 411

[@onetrackmind3558]

I apologize for the spam comments. That chase scene though was amazing, the build up was good too, Arthur talking to James and then Henry's music plays out and then silence and the truck racing passed and finally the chase theme slowly starting, well done.

[@theblackleafninja3858]

Another thing is that the truck has to be the same one Thomas pushed through the buffers when shunting now that’s attention to detail

[@onetrackmind3558]

​@@theblackleafninja3858 oh I saw a comment about that sceen with a truck going missing. I forgot about it. So true.

[@garebel6575]

49:06 What business could that be? The possibilities are endless.

[@Drill-o4g]

Maybe it’s the engines that crashed/got caught

[@vexstenxv3480]

I don’t know if anyone noticed, but during the scene at 17:20 there are five trucks being shunted by Thomas, but then after the magic buffers sound effect plays there are only four trucks left, which I suppose we could take as the earliest hint of the magic buffers being portals.

[@trevortyrrell175]

Great to see how the others engines are affected by the change.

I like the improvement of sound mixing, the other episodrs i could barely hear the voices, but this series gets better every episode! Good job! I also really liked the seenf james traveling. Another thing is i like that arthur is a rebuilt tender engine as the real Ivatt 2 6 2s came in both tender and tank engine form. The reverend himself would be proud of including history in your stories!

I love the details I found at 17:22 to 18:03 a lot happens. First Thomas collects six coal trucks but one gets aways and goes through the magic buffers, Second Bell notices that Thomas only has five coals trucks, Three Percy shows up behind Mr. Percival and Bell sees him, fourth she is confused on what she saw, and fifth Bell looks back James and wonders if he saw Percy since he was close to where he was. Love the little details you put throughout these videos. Also is the truck that rolls past Arthur the same one that went through the magic buffers?

[@FrogFood8587]

To no one’s surprise another fantastic continuation, knocked it out of the park once again daylight. A very interesting background for Arthur, might be interesting to see that expounded upon in the future. I have basically accepted your story of Smudger and the mirror as head-cannon, such an imaginative spin on the story that lives rent free in my head. Anyway that’s enough blabbering on about these great stories. Keep up the good work as usual, best wishes! 👍

[@CrisisHedgehog]

An absolutely awesome episode for the series. Bro, I was screaming through every single twist. You have really mastered making people unnerved, with all the extra stuff you put in the background, you force the audience to constantly look back in large overhead shots looking for one of these “husks/deceived” and the devil herself. The character interactions are once again very good. It makes you care about them, which intern makes us worry for them, and their survival. So 4,6,7,8,9 and 11, In this episode, we’ve seen every single one of the deceived engines all except Toby… We definitely know that he isn’t scrapped since we saw him teleport away from the scrapyard. Even in the explanation of the rules, we did not see Toby at all. Maybe there’s a reason for that, the MoD calls these engines, the deceived. I can definitely see why, considering how Percy was taken: following lady into the forest… but Toby; Toby wasn’t like that. Lady ambushed him, teleporting away. Toby and Gordon are the only deceived that actually have remains to be found, toby was found mostly intact, while Gordon was a completed total husk completely rusted. During the chasing we see Gordon again completely rusted, and off the rails. Perhaps I’m looking too much into it, but who knows.
