1969: The Resistance (A TAOS Special)

When steam engines were finally forbidden to run on British Rails after 1967, the diesels came in and revolutionised everything casting out the old and replacing it with the new.
But, many steamies were not going down without a fight, and some were lucky enough to found a new home just in time.

[@thesudriana016]

When I heard Jimmy the Jinty characters mentioned, I was like "OMG!" Also, brilliant and emotional special! Everything like the action, suspenseful and emotional moments are written very well in this that really matched the tone of the end of steam and how the steam engines are going through, fighting their way to escape to Sodor, NRM, and Bluebell Railway. I also like your custom Rebecca (in her original SR Brunswick Green). For the cast members, they did fantastic with their performances. I cracked up when Harrison explained to everyone of Crovan and the latter saying "HEY!"

I like how Dr. Beeching is being painted like a James Bond Villain in this!

[@Mafaldamou]

Great Job on this. The voices were the best. Especially Crovan, Alfred, Neville, Murdoch and Arthur. 👍👍

[@chriswood-nostalgic8900]

This was amazing! A complete worthy successor to the predecessor, it does it's job better than JBS HISB. Plus, i wasn't expecting Geoffrey to be an anti-hero. Murdoch and Green Arrow making their escape on Joseph's sacrifice got Toy Story 3 music and very intense. Jimmy also had to sacrifice himself for Luca. There's a lot of dramatic arguments, involving Jinty against Jonathan and Nickolas with Harrison (I hope Nickolas will be safe) I just hope Nickolas and Serena are going to not be found :( It's also ironic how both engines are named after the users. I loved Neville, Murdoch, Arthur and Stepney's portrayal then what the model era did with them. I still like Rosie's current portrayal and her portrayal in this. It gives a hint to what her livery is in the franchise. And, the end where Frankie is attempting to slave engines that she wants to keep at The Steelworks is a great turn out, on how before she manipulated and imprisoned the NWR No.1 Thomas into sorting out the work, making him a victim. Will the final story of the year arc be around soon in the summer? Nevertheless, Great Effort and to the cast 🌟

[@marklincovet509]

i'm 1000000% convinced in 1986, nickolas is forever a slave to the steelworks

Great job on this sequel. It was heartbroken, sad, and beautiful, I really find it better then the first film (1963). I hope you make a third film, we like to find out what happened to Serena and Nickolas and we find out how the engines are setting in to their new homes (or railways in this case XD) Also R.I.P to Michael Angelis.
