Transcript to read along to: docs.google.co...
Well... what was supposed to be a Halloween Special has turned into one of my biggest projects to date and one I am most proud of. I want to thank all the VAs and people who have been eagerly awaiting this project for being so patient with me. I started writing this baby in January 2022, and I finished writing June the same year.
And before you start claiming that I've become some kind of tortured artist, I've always found it fascinating about what would go through an Engine's mind being trapped there for so long. Surely being bored for that long on top of having bits of your body cannibalised must do some unpleasant and insane things to your psyche.
Probs a spoiler, but not really, I mean you know this thing ain't gonna have a happy ending LOL
But I want to thank everyone who showed support during production of this project and without you I would never have gotten the motivation to get this mega project done.
Love you all - Little Owl ❤❤✨

The audio is a bit difficult to hear, so to make things easier, heres the transcript: docs.google.com/document/d/11IDDzp6Bo_hYDTgTIJJcwuE_vrDuTuww/edit?actionButton=1

You can tell godreds looseing it when he talks about running over a cat with detail

True

Wtf

26:07 Godred screaming because a part of him being removed

[@theamazinggamer111]

The book had the simple explanation of workmen taking parts of him more and more until there was nothing left. Gradually seeing Godred’s slow decent into depression and madness as his body parts are simply pulled off of him, used to mend his brethren, is really foreboding. I can’t imagine what went through his head all this time. The fact he was just left to rot for what felt like an eternity is a much worse fate than scrapping him quickly and painlessly… His screams. Those horrifying and fear invoked screams…that’s what true horror and insanity is made off. You nailed this, Little Owl. And EVERYONE else that worked on this too! A+

[@ARG0T]

This also really sheds light on the direness and morbidity of scrapping (killing) living machines

[@Chessie-Steam-Special]

I found out this was Godred because the engine on the cover is like one of the cudel fell locos!

[@countchompula1896]

Felt like the stages of grief

[@fishpop]

Thought this was an original character but it wasn't until his mentioned the second faces that i realised he was Godred.

[@sleeperain3349]

This story didn't scare me, it just made me want to cry, anyone who's suffered from depression knows the feeling of hopelessness and isolation, being trapped and tortured by your mind, the feeling like no one is coming to help you because they cant see your pain, feeling like there is no end to it all and all you can hope for is for everything to end soon. Not sure if the author intended for me to feel that way but bravo

[@Warriorwolf]

I would love to see someone make a animated version of this story

[@LittleOwl2003]

Honestly same, the only problem is this story only really takes place in one location, plus the audio and the image alone keeps the suspension of disbelief in tact so really this only works as a audio only piece. But if somebody finds a way or wants to have a crack at it, I wouldn’t be opposed to it

[@EddyStudios-it4cf]

I just watched this again and I cried again, this feels like it's been worked on for a decade, This is my favorite piece of fan work ever

[@agracetejada2645]

42:47 Godred: having an emotional breakdown. Me: *cries over vent thought or some sad stuff or smth* (This also another resued comment 😅)

[@tomoliver4756]

Absolutely beautiful. The writing is phenomenal and the performances from Stephen Mansey (despite the audio quality) as Godred and Dexter Manning himself surprisingly as Lord Harry / No. 6 are top notch.

[@wise3907]

Poor Godred.

[@EquestriaExploration]

°-° Oh heck... Poor Godred That was chillingly well-written, Owl. Nice work ^^

[@BlueflameKing1]

This was amazing. Wish i found it sooner. This reminds me of the horror of the rails story broken wings, and could even be seen as a companion piece. Great stuff.

[@SubSimpich]

Wow. After all this time it's finally here. And all I can say is, FRICKING HELL! I mean knew it was going to be dark, but this legit got heavy in places. But that's all in all what made the writing in this superb. Well done Jack! And well done to the VAs. They absolutely killed it!

[@MarianneStudios]

Undoubtedly ecstatic that it’s finally here! WOW! That was wholeheartedly fantastic and a truly emotive piece! Due to the beginning evoking so much sadness as opposed to fear, I was asking myself when the ‘horror’ part would come into play...then I got my answer as soon as Godred’s painful shouting began before Shane’s entrance! The psychological horror is truly there with the way Godred is written and performed which makes him so sympathetic throughout, truly an engaging narrative! I’m getting slight Handmaid’s Tale vibes from some of the themes explored! The horror was terrifically excruciating as well as the pathos (I just wanna hug Godred 💔), I honestly felt myself tearing up at the end, almost synchronising with Godred’s weeping...and then the epilogue began, WOW that was such a cleverly written ending! I LOVED IT! One again, a tragic but beautifully written tale with a fantastic performance, fantastic job!

[@amitysluzara2022]

What a masterpiece! That ending omg

[@thomaslawrence2375]

Full review video coming soon but all I can say for now is.... I AM SO PROUD OF YOU ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT WORK 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@spottotea]

dear jesus, i was just doing my thing, and then i hear that cat part, and then i hear that damned SCREAM. thats how you know how scary it is.

[@matthewanderson2351]

The real villain in the end is the controller. Godred deserved to be punished, but not psychologically, physically and masochistically tortured to death by dismemberment. And that monster got away with it... And the other engines just neglected him and willingly allowed the controller to give them his pieces with no sympathy... Disgusting... At least Lord Harry got a second chance and a new name. Or should I say... Godred got a second chance in his new body...?

[@LittleOwl2003]

Oooh now that’s a theory I’ve not heard before. The idea that Lord Harry was possessed by Godred and that caused his change in persona. I purposefully meant for the ending to be interpretive so hearing new interpretations is always very welcome

[@Ms-Vlogs.]

I’ve just listened to this while I’m fishing and holy crap! This is horrific but incredible at the same time, well done!

[@SonicsBizarreWorld]

[@timkim1234]

Thank you so much

[@паровозиктомас0]

это когда мы в молодости бросаем свои прошлогодние паровозики

[@jacobblackard785]

Honestly I can't imagine being torn apart for a mistake sure it was Godred fault but tearing him apart for doing the accident

[@Somerandompokemon]

Hmm… godred, judgment is not mine to pass.. but one day, may you, your broken mind and heart find peace.

[@dragonfox4553]

i think at some point i would just be begging for death

[@evanclarke5561]

Was the ghost of Godred trying to tell Lord Harry to be a better engine?

[@LittleOwl2003]

That’s a very good interpretation!

[@agracetejada2645]

26:28 27:25 completely losing over it 😂😂😂🤣🤣

[@TheGingerEngine]

Holy moley this is going to give me nightmares (and I say that because it's fantastically dark). Would you be okay for me to review this as part of my fan video reviews in a couple of months? Very, very well done 🚂🚃❤️🌎🙏

[@LittleOwl2003]

Oh absolutely go right ahead!! I’d be incredibly honoured!!!

[@TheGingerEngine]

@@LittleOwl2003 thank you, this is like a Shakespearean tragedy of the Culdee Fell. Honestly it's beautiful 🚂🚃😊❤️🙏🌎

[@jeremiahsisaias8677]

I know that there are some non Thomas fans who claim to think that Sir Topham Hatt is an evil dictator who scraps his engines if they dont work hard but none of them have ever talked about how Culdee's controller and the drivers of the CFR cannibalized Godred and used his dead remains for fixing the other purple engines after his accident.

41:16 a reference to LADAS

Ayyyyyyy! I was hoping someone would notice!!!

It was about 20 mins in when I released the engine I'd been staring at was Godred, then I released that he was gonna get smaller and smaller.

27:20 Bit of missed script there: Shane Dooiney: Quite boring isn't it?

[@LittleOwl2003]

True, but it worked without that line so I ain’t worrying about it

[@janellewarren2119]

Let me just reinstate my question about what happened to godred was he scrapped or is he still at the back of the shed and what's the devil happened Lord Harry

[@LittleOwl2003]

Uhhh fire away? Lol

[@LittleOwl2003]

If I answer, that gives away the purpose of an ambiguous ending, let your imagination take you to your conclusion

Can someone please adapt this

Honestly it would be my dream! But I can see a problem with doing so as it mostly takes place in one location the entire time and most of the imagery would be quite challenging to replicate effectively

Did Godred die?

No his face was put on a car- Of course he died
