Stepney's Special

[@therevchannel.notforkids.3408]

one of my favorite RWS stories. I love how much more mature Thomas feels in this story.

[@eddiewhitley5216]

That was lucky for a favorite Willie ruston story like that.

@andyyyyyproduections There's a slight illusrtator's blunder in this, the book was published in 1963, at that time, Bluebell and Primrose were still in their black liveries , Primrose didn't get her SECR livery till the 1970's and Bluebell was painted blue instead of SECR green.

That's the definitive magical artistry, property of Gunvor & Peter Edwards. Just simply amazing that both a man and a woman can make such beautiful portraiture, especially in a series of book stories.

That moment when you realise Stepney is actually older than Edward.

[@pikablob]

I do wonder who the important passenger was - I mean, who has enough money/influence with the railway to order them to send out a special train, just for him to get home?

[@Mason58654]

In the past, railways would let any passenger order a special train personally for an extra charge.

@TheGMAnime It looks like he is picking up a "token", they were used on single line track so one train was on that single section at once to prevent an accident.

what are you Saying

Adams & Cromford

[@samuelfarris1949]

It is a pity that the Reverend Awdry never really thought about establishing prominent female engine characters. He only really thought about it in general as he was calling it a day with the books. Purists of the Railway Series might well gawp at the changes in the recent Thomas & Friends reboot, but may be surprised quite pleasantly with the strong female engine leads being established.

This is a million times better than Thomas and Stepney. it's for this reason that Rusty is my least favourite Awdry character.

[@dragonzilla6482]

Want to know something, if the Bluebell engines that Stepney talked about were in the TV series. It might of being the best episode out of season 4. but I suppose it might of being to expensive to make models that were going to be one offs, unless they would be reused as scrapped engines that were sometimes seen in the background or new characters.

[@loggior.speedweed4345]

Wilbert Awdry had this rule where any engine that was real from a real railway could not have faces unless they interacted with a Sodor engine, he wanted to make it clear that Sodor was fictional.
