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.

little theory: those "silent trucks/ season 1 trucks" are actually people turned into trucks by lady (just like fred) and are also her henchmen like all the engines shes captured.

Arthur: "Everything should be fine..." Narrator: "Everything was not, in fact, fine."

[@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.​

[@ineptusastartes9964]

Bloody hell, Daylight, that was great! The scene in the forest felt so claustrophobic and confusing, you've got a real nack for building up tension. Can't wait for the next one, keep up the fantastic work!

[@aaronprewitt344]

Just watched this today, the moment Arthur tells James that people still care about him and his Friends even though they’re gone was absolutely emotional and sweet, it impacted especially hard considering it’s in such a dark twisted place in time.

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.

[@daylight39]

I always love the theories people post. You are on the right track (not a pun) but I will say that proteus is not god himself or an incarnation. More of his backstory will come at a later date. Thanks for the comment!

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!

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. Still though, he's fine and that's all that matters. Also, really great what you did with Arthur in this, I always wondered what a story between him and James would be like. Very well done, looking forward to more like this in the future.

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

[@MessiOlly8]

The version of Henry’s theme in the scene where James gets life brought back to him by Arthur was phenomenal absolutely amazing aswell as this whole story you’ve crated with engines disappearing and becoming something abnormal and the whole mystery behind it it’s all brilliant one of the best fan stories I’ve even seen, miles better than all of the sodor fallout stories and adaptations from it you’ve actually created a complex story what I’m invested in

[@jonathanlam7237]

Phew 😮‍💨 what a relief James & Arthur r safe thank you 🙏 Warship (Diesel 10) save our engines from becoming another victim, & boi this episode gave me a huge jump scare I mean Percy Duck Oliver Donald & even Gordon’s dead body surprised me out of nowhere. It’s like ur in Hell itself however just because James is safe doesn’t mean we should let our guards down who knows what Lady has next for us.

Idk how BoCo or the signalman didn't see him

[@clockwork3494]

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.

Been loving this series! It's amazing to see how the quality is improving and the story is escalating. 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.

[@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.

[@kaiserfuzhelmiii2416]

45:45 i do have to question lady's logic of just... standing there watching james and Arthur roll past.

Something tells me she's not the smartest tool in the shed lol

I feel like Daylight has just got a map called 'The Forest' for these recent episodes. Every time I saw the 'DECIEVED' and 'The Green Lady' I kept saying Oh God, or Oh no every time.

[@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.

[@Rainbow2997]

You know, Oliver had pupils in The Missing 411. (In his Scrap look.) Another thing about that, when Oliver was pulling Toad, (In Smudger and the Magic Mirror) he wasn't scared of him. So Oliver must have pupils.

[@JonBerry555]

@@Rainbow2997 Oliver almost seems to have more, agency? I'm not sure if that is the right word, but of the missing engines he seems to have a special status. He has the most evidence supporting having pupils remain. Also, notice how his is the only missing engine poster consistent through the episodes. This has to be telling us that there is more to Oliver than all the other engines.

[@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.

[@TheLuckyJ11]

I love a lot of things of this episode: -First that You makes a dynamic of charecters that never interacted with each other (Arthur and James for example) -Second how emily tried to warned Arthur but in a way also teasing him and how Fergus is Trías to conford him -And third how Diesel 10 and Lady's roles are swaped (and also the aparece of Proteus) I'm really hyped for the next episode , I recomend you to use more lightning in Trainz

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.

[@trevortyrrell175]

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

[@spencer9183]

I like how diesel 10 is actually trying to help the steam engines while lady is trying to kill them

[@thenamesmichael7335]

Whoosh, i had hopes for james and arthur to survive and not be part of the lost soul engines until diesel ten arrived and saved them and beat the one of the lost twins engine model without tender with his claw! I can't wait to see the final showdown of lady causing all these problems. I wonder if all the lost engines curse will be broken and be sent free

[@funlalabryant2204]

THE WAY I WAS ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT ROOTING FOR JAMES AND ARTHUR SKJDJD This episode was GOLD! Especially with the lore! I CANT wait for the next part!!!! 😭😭💖💖💖💖💖 45:00

[@streamlinedengine]

Man, I've watched this more times than I'd care to admit! And I've really enjoyed scrolling through the comments too, amazing how people notice or realise things that haven't even cross my mind. Though if I may, I'd like to add a few points that I don't think have been touched upon. MANY have already noticed how saying a prayer can save an engine from the husks. However, what I find interesting is that the prayers seem to specifically summon Warship. Notice how after S.C. Ruffey says his prayer, we hear Warship calling out "Splodge, come and destroy", and the husk of Oliver immediately backs off? And how after Arthur and James cried out to God, Warship appeared out of literally nowhere between them and the husk of Donald? To further add to the mystery, in the latter instance, there doesn't seem to be any tracks where Warship could have appeared from, leaving only the supernatural as a plausible explanation; PLUS he seems to be the only one capable of defeating the husks-- we don't know enough about Proteus so I'm leaving him out temporarily, though we do know that conventional bullets don't work as Donald's husk was barely scratched when the soldiers fired on him (then again, a few bullets can't hurt a steam engine anyways, so maybe that's a factor too). What's weird is that Warship, unlike Proteus, unlike Lady, isn't some unknown entity, we see him working with the MoD on many occasions, communicating with them as comrades do (Unit 10 to Boomer), and even the Sudrian engines refer to him as the "MoD engine", which makes the fact that he seems to have supernatural powers of his own even more interesting. Many in the comments have theorised Warship will play a key role in the eventual downfall of Lady, and I not only agree with that, I'm tingling to see how it'd all go down. Now, I want to talk about James. The poor, poor soul. After S.C. Ruffey, James is the first one to have survived a direct encounter with the husks, though even more notably, James has survived TWICE in the same day, the first instance being how he ended up in the forest all by himself, the second being of course the climax chase scene at the end. AND. James has stared into the face of the husks of both Oliver and Donald, HEAD ON. Jesus Christ that must have been terrifying, I don't know if S.C. Ruffey saw straight into the face of Oliver too (seems Oliver had tried to finish the redeemed truck on more than one occasion), but apart from giving James the deepest sympathy for going through this terrible ordeal, maybe now his info would be invaluable to the fight against Lady and her husks? Though one has to wonder why James was not taken after Lady tried twice, and even sent out ALL her husks to chase after him. One theory I entertain is Arthur being too good and pure a soul, him saving James and him being determined to get out of the forest is what did it; the other theory is of course Proteus' power saving them both, which would explain why James was saved the first time (without Arthur), but which wouldn't explain why James still lost his train and his crew. Speaking of theories, I have an idea as to how Lady operates and what engines she chooses to take, though not nearly a watertight idea: Lady strikes against engines who's spirit is already misguided is some sense, and she corrupts them into a deeper illusion and trance before outright claiming them as their own. This would explain Gordon and Oliver, both being a bit too angry with storm, then abnormally insisting they want to stay in the shed in the forest despite Edward's dissuasions; also Percy, who was so devastated by the loss of Toby, and further destabilised by.his rather serious spats with Thomas, being so taken in by the idea of Ghosts near Killdane; also Donald, who was having a rather violent spat with S.C. Ruffey; and also Duck, who was obviously not in the best states of minds with Diesel around, and still seemed capable of having a semi-normal conversation when Lady gradually started taking over him; also James, who as Fergus said, was already feeling quite lost due to losing so his friends at Tidmouth, and who had already nearly given up for any meaning in living, plus we can see how his misfortunes were deliberately engineered by the deceived to further knock him down a few pegs. The biggest problem I see here is Toby, who wasn't in any kind of conflict or downtrodden situation prior to being taken. Also, I still haven't figured out how Lady decided which engines she takes to be pawns and which are to be killed, for example why were Gordon, Toad and Toby's remains allowed to be found? Why were Diesel and S.C. Ruffey chosen to be finished off instead of being turned into husks, even if you explain it away with it being Oliver's personal beef with S.C. Ruffey what about Diesel? And why did it seem Arthur and James were to be killed directly, was it because Lady realised neither can be satisfactorily turned? My goodness this is long haha. It's been quite a while since a fan series inspires so much in my head, I just had to get it out, and I might continue doing this in the next few episodes too. If anyone reached this point in the essay, you're absolute best!

[@ironsuffertombIST]

Though, i *am* curious about one thing after reading your massive essay.. Daylight hasn`t done anything with Henry ever since the Missing 411 episode.. Considering Emily did state that the official numbered engines of Sodor have lowed down.. There`s no more number 4, or 6, or 7, or 8, or 9, or 11. Plus, Lady has been ONLY taking out the *numbered* engines, those being Gordon, Percy, Toby, Duck, Donald and Oliver of course. Leaving only Edward, Henry, James and Douglas as the official numbered engines.. Maybe, she could POSSIBLY be going for the numbered engines only (for now or maybe Daylight will change her target later on in the series). No idea why though.. And, and. We haven`t seen Henry in the background of the other episodes either (that or im just stupid). Plus, Emily was nowhere to be seen where Arthur was coupling up to the special train, even though the Thin Controller wanted BOTH of them to pull it.. Was she taken..?

[@chidubemgaming7563]

You are severely underated like it should be a crime

[@TheOrangeTractorOffical]

No not James. I’ll be watching how you set him up carefully, btw I was a huge fan of how you set up Douglas being the only little westerner to not get taken

[@Rocketuber]

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

[@theblackleafninja3858]

Daylight that chase scene was 1000/1000 never have I ever see something so epic it was scary to and the first person views were top tier well done 👏🏿

[@Warriorwolf]

I really do hope this story has a happy ending….even though it seems that it ain’t gonna happen

[@ExplosivePieofficial]

Can i just say i love the idea of Diesel 10 being a good guy i love the reverse roles of magic railroad

[@EmperorJack1000]

Just what I was thinking.

[@ps7372]

20:16 wait a minute, Kirk Ronan station never had a water tower. Especially not on the platform.

[@noname-iw3tj]

He hearted this your on to something!

[@Serial__DesginationN]

Probably a new installation for return trains.

[@MCstudio1274]

I love how well put together your routes are.

[@daylight39]

I got them all online, but I do try to pick the best ones

[@MCstudio1274]

Evidently so.

[@thedanishnut]

so not only did lady fail for the first time, assuming she was targeting james and numbers 1-11 are her priority, but i didnt see toby and gordon participating the chase scene (gordon being shown derailed in one glimpse), and then i remembered that toby and gordon are the only ones whose remains have been found (plus toad) could gordon and toby have defied lady and are not helping her, while the others are still deceived by her and helping her (hence the cool name for the husks “The Deceived”?) cannot wait for the next installment edit: also noticed that i think thomas shunted a truck into the magic buffers, only for a random truck to fly past arthur and james during the climax. were they on the magic railroad????? the plot thickens

[@croatiarailways]

Maybe Toby did appeared but we didn't see him. During the scenes in the forest we saw few times shadows of the engines but due to the fog it was hard to see who it was. In 45:17 we see that 2 engines are coming after James which is Duck and next to it could be Toby because of it's shape. The reason why she didn't used Gordon we will probably find in the next video but i am guessing that she will used against Diesel 10 because he is very strong. This statement can be proven by the scene 8:07 where lady is with Gordon and Toad.

[@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.

[@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.

[@someguy9293]

I think you're right on most things.

[@BladeMaster4Ever9000]

Nice sequel! Makes me want to see more continuation of this story from out of curiosity on how they will solve this creepy mystery.

[@RenzosNotHere]

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

[@williamscheuerman1867]

HOLY CRAP, this was the first in the series for me, but what story to tell. That chase scene was the perfect climax to all the build up in the beginning and seeing all the silhouettes of engines was like playing horror guess who. Looking forward to the next installment.......and the culprit

[@williamscheuerman1867]

Adding to my previous comment, the current confirmed count in order so far has been Gordon, Oliver, Toad, Toby, Percy, Duck, and Donald. Most likely trapped behind the buffers in my opinion.

[@ironsuffertombIST]

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.

[@Drill-o4g]

Thomas is still alive. Good theory tho

[@MacDiben]

Wait, Thomas? I saw gordon, but i didnt see thomas

[@MacDiben]

Oh, I think I also saw a train next to Gordon Maybe Toby, I don't know Maybe it's just my mind

[@dawn9422]

Thomas, Edward, Henry, James, and Douglas are the only ones left out of the #’ed engines of 1-11

[@ironsuffertombIST]

@@Drill-o4g oh YEAH I FORGOT THAT THE ONE THAT NEARLY HAD JAMES WAS OLIVER, *NOT* THOMAS DAMN IT thas what happens when i get too excited, i miss details and come out stupid

[@xerxesjacalan1168]

How many missing engines died?

[@NorthWestern1919]

Oh my, where to begin with this- For starters, I liked how you combined the characters of Arthur and Barry, considering Barry was, interestingly enough, going to be based on the same class of locomotive Arthur is, an Ivatt 2MT tank. I thought it was pretty clever how you had Arthur rebuilt from a 2MT tender engine to the tank engine version of the class, and using that old Barry model (from back when everyone thought he was a tender engine) to portray him in the scrapyard. I also like what you've done with Donald here, basing his Deceived form off the ghost engine from "Scaredy Engines". Makes sense that he wouldn't have his tender with him if it was recovered. Warship is a really cool name for Diesel 10, fitting as his class was known as Warships, but also fitting in that he's fighting a "war" against the evil entity that plagues Sodor. James has been a background player throughout the series up to this point, and I'm glad to see him in the spotlight... and what's more, he survives! Him and Arthur surviving their encounter and bringing the train of toys home was an unexpectedly wholesome ending. James and Arthur are both sympathetic characters here, and it's nice that they get a happy ending. I really felt bad for James when he was talking about how if he was taken, he'd just end up getting replaced and forgotten, which makes it all the more heartwarming when he and Arthur survive. I've said before that this series is an emotional rollercoaster, full of creepy moments, heartbreaking moments, a few funny moments, and especially in this episode's ending, heartwarming moments. And not to mention, I'd say this episode's climax was actually quite epic. The protagonists essentially stand off against Lady and the Deceived, and win! Duck and Percy crashing into each other was certainly an awesome moment, and a bit funny as well, but the most awesome moment, in my opinion, was Warship defeating Donald. Overall, I really enjoyed this one. Seeing as Diesel and Scruffy survived the last attack, and now Arthur and James survived this one, with Warship even defeating one of the Deceived, I'd say there just might be hope for Sodor yet.

[@elih.3093]

Another thrilling episode! I have so many ideas of what could happen next.....one of them for now is this....will Thomas and the rest of the current Steam/Diesel engines with the help of Proteus take down whoever is in the mist? As always, keep up the awesome work! 👍👍😊

[@altimotheus819]

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.

[@aquatheneptunewolf1115]

I love how every paranormal or ghost entity in sodor is against lady herself as if they knew she was an anomaly herself

[@clonecoric4140]

An incredibly tense episode, it seems for once our heroes bested Lady. And I guess Warship did find the remains of Donald after all. Im glad that Arthur and James survived, perhaps this a sign that things will take a turn for the best for the engines of Sodor. And perhaps, while unlikely, there's hope for the engines who have passed and hope that they can return.
