I love this version of Duncan Gets Spooked. That “Take Me Back!” still gets me to this day.

[@TankEngine97]

SiF's audio production of Duncan gets Spooked was always a favourite of mine as well as being one of my favourite adaptations of the original story. Hearing the voices with new music choices and sound effects is so freshing.

[@Bulbasaur617]

Glory! I've heard and seen different interpretations of Duncan Gets Spooked over the years and I never know this version exists. Another version that surprises and even gives me a spooked a little. And this recreation of this rewrite of Duncan get Spooked is really something. You did a fantastic job adapting this rewrite of this story. Fantastic job here! Keep up the great work and take care!

[@amitysluzara2022]

This adaptation was absolutely amazing! I loved how Peter Sam got more of a role in this too over the original episode

[@connorflaherty175]

The moment old Bailey (I know it’s not supposed to be old Bailey, but still) singing amazing grace made me chuckle.

[@thewildwegonian92]

This is an interesting approach to the story. I'm curious to see how the original Ducan Gets Spooked gets more and more flushed out and "developed" in its own miniverse as more and more people create new and expanded versions of the story.

[@ciarangleeson2880]

You mean FLESHED out, right?

[@thewildwegonian92]

@@ciarangleeson2880 literally the same thing. Its the principle of developing and fully clearing out a world, story, character arc, ect ect. Do you not know that multiple words have similar meanings given the context they are presented in?

[@ciarangleeson2880]

Hey, I just thought you made a spelling error! Excuse me for trying to be helpful!

[@thewildwegonian92]

@@ciarangleeson2880 Well your presentation doesn't really come off as "being helpful". Especially the use of caps for the full word comes across as demeaning or belittling me cause I used a word/phrase you are not use to and presumed as a failure of my memory.

[@ciarangleeson2880]

That was just to make it clear which word I thought was misspelled, and I assumed that it was caused by autocorrect.

Didn't expect this version to get adapted at this point, so this is a nice surprise. Especially with how far tech and skills have come.

[@guyk768]

Nicely done. I really enjoyed this dramatisation of Duncan Gets Spooked.

[@angelhuerta1626]

It appears Duncan gets spooked has returned but this time with a different ghost engine instead of the ghost engine falling in the water in single he falls down with trucks that’s new

[@gbhtrain1325]

Dude, this is perhaps one of my favourite versions of this story. How did you get such clean audio

[@Jetthehawk1994]

Not to mention that this version seems to be renarrated compared to the original.

[@ShunterProductions]

The original audio was kindly supplied to me

[@green5studios47]

@@ShunterProductionsso you were provided the original audio, cleaned it up, rescored and directed this new version. And here we are? That’s amazing and real kind of Ryan and Simon. I must ask, some of the dialogue sounds slightly different from the original version of 2010. Were you given other takes from back then as well and used those in its original place as you saw appropriate?

[@zakthemrconductor5920]

A charming story that has proven to be an outstanding piece of work 😃👍

I can't believe it, it finally happened. SIF Duncan Gets Spooked gets a trainz remake.

[@SirThanxalott]

This was one of my favorite episodes growing up. I don't know what got me more frightened, Duncan's face on the bridge, or the atmosphere itself.

[@Larynx_the_Changeling]

It was nice of the thieves to pay respect to the ghost train.

[@robertbalazslorincz8218]

[@minty-industrialsteamprodu1747]

I really enjoyed this take on Duncan Gets Spooked but I’m surprised how crisp the audio is compared to the original adaptation

[@xtremeyoylecake]

This was low key better than the og 1000/10❤❤❤❤

[@theflyingshunter]

Hold up It was known that the trucks were old and were on the list to be scrapped So there was already a chance the couplings would break, this can't be Peter Sam's fault. If anything it would be The Thin Controllers fault for allowing possibly dangerous wagons to be used

[@Kishanth.J]

I also wonder why they never reinstalled the railing along the bridge. That would stop any engine from going over again.

[@thesudriana016]

You forgot to credit David Maidment (he also co-wrote this episode).

[@Rocketuber]

David maidment?

[@thesudriana016]

@@Rocketuber He is the Railway Consultant for S5 of Thomas the Tank Engine, co-writing a few stories w/ Britt Allcroft and David Mitton. Most of which based on real off-beat incidents (like how the RWS did). Duncan Gets Spooked being one of them was partially inspired by an incident at a colliery between Cymmer Afan and Treherbert Paxman diesel could not hold 18 loaded coal wagons despite brakes pinned down and ran away, the engine and wagons going through a sand drag protecting the single running line and fell into a stream damming it and causing a minor flood. He tried contacting HiT Entertainment to continue his duties but sadly received no reply.

[@DarthWill3]

I remember this audio adaptation well. I never thought the original recordings would be used for this production. However did you manage to acquire them? 🤯 Once again, I must point out the issues of timing between lines and the music volume.

[@ShunterProductions]

I get along very well with Ryan and various members of the SiF team who kindly sent me the original audio clips for the production. As for the music volume, I ran it through Davinci. From my end, it sounded ok. I'm probably a little impatient not running it through audacity first. I need to really try to strike the right balance with timing.

There was a time I threw Prometheus off that bridge in a Roblox game. He fell into the river and was swept away at a tremendously comical speed.

[@atomicreptiliascreator738]

I was not expecting the river to be THAT powerful! XD It was such a funny sight watching an engine in a game get swept away like a wooden toy. The thing is, players don’t get swept away at all.

[@atomicreptiliascreator738]

Oh, btw. I never gave Prometheus any trucks or vans, it wouldn’t have mattered anyway.

Maybe Prometheus is a ghost engine, as well. Likely a different fate, though.
