NWR Tales: S12 Ep.2 Gordon's Fallout | Celebrating 100 Years of Flying Scotsman (1923-2023)

Celebrating 100 years of Flying Scotsman!!
Scott announced to the North Western engines that he was to tour America; the engines were worried that something bad might happen to him over there. Scott doesn’t believe so, but Gordon, his brother, thought different.

if you were trying for tears in this episode then I can gladly say you've got them, my good man, that was such a wonderful episode, I knew Scott was fine, and yet I still got choked up, bravo. 10/10

[@bluebellsfan8704]

Usually sad Thomas things don't make me cry but this story made me shed a tear, fantastic!

[@thesudriana016]

This is coming from a Scotsman stan you're looking at, but this is so far my favorite Season 12 episode! This is a brilliant way to celebrate the centenary of Flying Scotsman himself! While I am not too fond of the rivalry of Gordon and Scot because of that annoying 'little brother' trope when really Gordon is older than his brother, but for a few fan works that dives deep into that, I can let it slide and at least Scot did call Gordon his 'big' brother. For the story itself, in a way it reminded me of the S3 finale of Liv & Maddie 'Californi-a-Rooney' where Liv and Maddie had a fight before the latter moved to California, with the former not wanting to see her off and overtime the two started to miss each other with a song playing during a montage of them looking through scrapbooks and photographs before tearing up realizing they have each made a big mistake and Liv finally comes to CA, and the twins level the playing fields. Also, I like how Donald & Douglas played a role in it to try and make sense/comfort Gordon and Scot from their own experience prior, as well as the reference to The Great Race with Scotsman regretting of trying to win the great race instead of helping his brother (especially his claim to fame persona before becoming humble). As for the songs, they are touching and emotional, which really fit each scene well when the two Doncaster bros miss each other when the USA tour went bust and when Scot and Gordon raced to Tidmouth. Brilliant job mate! Looking forward to the one with Scotsman and Rex!

[@CraneProductions27]

That was a lovely story. Gordon and the Flying Scotsman having a story together and getting into an argument. It was sad to see Gordon feeling sorry for himself and what he had said to his brother. It really felt like a feature length story watching this. I loved the happy ending and the songs that were put in were just right. Well done on this amazing adventure :) .

[@MATT2productions]

This is the Best Story of NWR TALES Gordon and Scott are just perfect too. This is sad with fallout and seperation. But good because of the reunion and the brotherly love of Gordon and Scottsman

[@houseofthesupermen377]

This was fantastic. I love how well it ties into Great Race and the amazing relationship between Gordon and Scott. I also love the small detail of the engines knowing about Disneyland and Mickey Mouse. Just thought that was fun along with the American sets, the So Sorry and We Belong Together bits. Keep up the amazing work, man. I'm so glad you decided not to go full patreon.

[@richieosborn2639]

A great episode! Happy early birthday to the Flying Scotsman and a big thanks to Mr. William for bringing Scott back home and saving him from being turned into a restaurant! (Seriously. How do you turn a locomotive into a restaurant anyways?)

[@NWR1991]

You have Scotsman at the front as a display piece and then convert two, three or more coaches into a sitting area. Scotsman would just give the illusion of travelling on an express train.

[@richieosborn2639]

@@NWR1991 that’s interesting design! Also reminds me of a Simpsons episode where the family goes to a restaurant that was converted from a wrecked express train.

[@DillianTrainzStudios]

Fun fact: 4 of the brake coaches used on Scotsman’s USA Tour train were put on display at a railway themed restaurant called ‘Victoria Station’. Sadly it went out of business in 1993. Though it is likely they were sold off for scrap.

[@mcbenman1793]

My god, that last race scene has me in tears, its so beautiful

[@Dr.Disney]

This is amazing! At least this shows a reason why Gordon gets mad around Scott in the CGI series when he was happy to see him in the books. Also, that ending race with Gordon & Scott was perfect. You can feel how happy they both are. It also makes Scott’s appearance in NWR Tales Season 6 look happier. Long Live the Flying Scotsman!

[@DillianTrainzStudios]

This was a brilliant story! Gordon worrying about Scotsman’s fate in America was very touching. Plus, I chuckled a bit at Gordon’s insults at Scotsman such as “Mickey Mouse on Wheels!” Just one question though, will you actually do a documentary on Flying Scotsman’s visit to Japan? (It depends if you can find any further information on it.)

[@NWR1991]

Flying Scotsman was invited to Japan during its American tour but because of money problems that Scotsman was facing back then it never materialised. I only know because it was mentioned about being invited in a Flying Scotsman book I own. But to give you an idea on what could've been had it happen, I found this fun little alternative history book about Flying Scotsman had its international visit to America had been a success for Alan Pegler, the Japanese tour is Chapter 4: www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/the-flying-scotsman-worldwide-tour-a-collaborative-supplement-to-bsic.461542/

I still think it was a shame Walt Disney himself wasn't alive for Scot's visit, As a railfan himself, Walt would of see him home.

[@binetasylla9028]

The part where Donald talks to the flying Scotsman and the reference to season 20 well done old chap but I do have 2 question why is Donald blue I know he carries that livery in the railway series but why now. And is the BWBA series cannon to your series

[@NWR1991]

1. Originally I was going to have D&D carry blue in the flashbacks and black in stories that are set in the current era, ones without the year unlike the flashback episodes. I had planned to have an episode about them being repainted black due to their presence in the TV series for familiarity since the 1980’s. But then I began to think they should carry the blue livery in the current era, as they were blue in the books, even during the time when the early years of the television series was new, and it would cause some continuity errors, and I would implement them being blue next year in stories set in the present day. 2. I had mentioned in my timeline videos that the only episodes from Big World to be canon are the stories set on Sodor while the international stories were fictional by the TV series production team since the TV series is canon to my series like it was in The Railway Series.

[@binetasylla9028]

Oh well done but movies are in your timeline

[@NWR1991]

As I said many times before in those videos, the footage you see in the movies and all are ‘inaccurate’ to ‘real life’ like what Awdry had said, from what I heard, about the illustrations in the books not being accurate to his lectures about the Railways of Sodor.

[@lua-yq8ux]

Great story. Was very emotional

[@comicfan1324]

0:25 great episode, however, I think you should’ve put some crowds to indicate that the station is full.

[@NWR1991]

I wish some people had read my comments that I said previously on this subject so I won’t have to repeat myself but try and add people on a route like Vicarstown in Trainz. It’s not as easy as you think.

[@deborahhancock1369]

what happened to Scotsman’s water tender?

It wasn’t needed by the time he was back in steam around 1973

Will you do a similar episode like this but with Scott about to leave for Australia?

[@NWR1991]

I would love to write a story about Flying Scotsman in Australia but it depends on what story could work since its Australian tour was less of a nightmare in comparison to its American journey.

[@bluetraxdax2001]

@@NWR1991 Will you do a concept of what Scott would look like on a Japan tour?

[@NWR1991]

No

[@yrinnarhaizaribeirosantos6755]

It made me emotioned

[@TomedysTrains]

Normally I'm not a fan of Thomas the Tank Engine fan fiction. In fact, I think it's safe to say I'm quite an "Awdryist" when it comes to anything related to Thomas. However, I can say you made a really good episode that looks as if the Reverend Wilbert Awdry or his son Christopher wrote it and it was adapted as an episode that would've aired in the 1990s. The camera work you did does make it look like an episode straight out of Season 3, which is when Flying Scotsman made his first appearance on the show. I wish one of the Awdrys wrote a Railway Series story about Flying Scotsman's North American tour, or at least made some references to it with pictures, because then there would've been some American and Canadian locomotive characters introduced and maybe have stories about them done in a similar way like with the narrow gauge characters since they interacted with the main cast of standard gauge characters. Then that story or stories could've been adapted as [an] episode(s) for the show, back when it was in model form.

[@jacksonhigh5209]

Thats a great story and the ending was so good. Plus, nice to use that Randy Newman song from Toy Story 3 in the end. ❤🥲

[@noorayneladha470]

I can personally relate to Gordon because I have a younger brother and when we were kids we didn’t always see eye to eye we sometimes had fun but sometimes we didn’t get along and things would turn sour. But we always made up for our mistakes and differences and now we get along just fine. This episode really hits home for me especially with the first song so sorry by feist that made me think about my own experiences with my own younger brother. And that Toy Story song at the end was a nice touch too. This was a very good episode and what a way to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the flying Scotsman. Happy 100th anniversary to Gordon’s little brother. And once again fantastic episode NWR1991 keep up the great work and I look forward to whatever you do next.

This is what I imagined would happen when The Flying Scotsman went on tour to the USA. He and Gordon would have a wedge between them and they would not be able to make up for years.
