Sudrian Adventures: Duke's Living Legacy

[@TankEngine97]

Really enjoyed this Ethan. 👍 Duke's time on the Skarloey railway I think was overlooked in the show. Don't get me wrong his stories are some of the best, but after he's been saved he's just there in the background. It's really nice to see people actually extending on his character development.

[@twofacedtwitproductions6154]

Thank you - I think the idea of Duke living out his days on the Skarloey is fine on its own, but often I think it makes him a much less compelling character because his story is already told. I really wanted to explore Duke processing that change and going about it on his own terms.

Missed the premiere; lovely way to end off the year :) Insanely underrated efforts here, from the model work to the set work Happy new year bud!

[@twofacedtwitproductions6154]

Thanks man, and same to you!

[@Ripoff_Productions]

Man, this was amazing… I nearly cried. Well done, what a well-written story!

[@welshcoal]

Good video. Liked how it goes more in depth for duke after he gets rescued 10/10 my g

[@TheJamTram]

Your best work yet, no question about that. Humour was spot on and the story was certainly heartfelt. It was clear a lot of time and passion was put into this, great work man.

[@twofacedtwitproductions6154]

Thanks James, means a lot that you enjoyed it!

[@Reimu__Hakurei]

Thank you!

This is a really good take on dukes first days back on the rails I mean duke doesn't know about the railway series yet so he wouldn't exactly know that that is the reason they get some of the tourism they do and even brought in the military at the quarry oh my this was great

[@twofacedtwitproductions6154]

Thank you - I wanted the MOD as a part of the story to show how the Skarloey had changed from its earlier days to what it is now, and I was taken with making Duke confused (and eventually angry) over why it has to be secret. It is one of the more unusual elements of the railway for sure.

So sad that I didn't see this beautiful video much earlier. I love this video!

[@AdventureswithGeneral]

Really good job on the American accent. How about voice acting a role in one of my stories? Lol

[@twofacedtwitproductions6154]

Thank you, it was a rough impression of the Hanna Barbera character Mr Jinx, voiced by Daws Butler - to call back to my impression of Huckleberry Hound for Stanley in 'Waiting Room' who was also voiced by Daws. As for voice acting, I'm afraid given my busy schedule I probably wouldn't have the time

[@AdventureswithGeneral]

@@twofacedtwitproductions6154 too bad. I had a pannier tank who needed a voice. No big deal, it probably won't be til the end of the year anyway.

[@antonio_but_really]

I spent 100 days on the Skarloey Railway!

[@twofacedtwitproductions6154]

What, consecutively?

[@ryleeculla5570]

So Duncan worked for the British army in a factory or a normal factory

[@twofacedtwitproductions6154]

Awdry never specifies, neither in IOS or in the books afaik - so it’s very much up to your interpretation as to how closely his pre-Skarloey history matches with Douglas’.

[@ryleeculla5570]

Wait what does Douglas have to do with any of this or are you talking about a person and not the cally twins

[@twofacedtwitproductions6154]

Sorry, I was referring to No.6 Douglas on the Talyllyn Railway, who provided the inspiration for Duncan :)

[@turboemerald9228]

the models need some work, especially duke.

[@twofacedtwitproductions6154]

A lot of my modelling nowadays does tend to be strictly for videos and I wouldn’t say mine is some of the best out there by any stretch, so that’s a fair observation

What a masterpiece, this sent tears running down my cheeks I'm not exaggerating. 🥲

[@twofacedtwitproductions6154]

I'm genuinely very taken aback it made you cry - that's really sweet, thank you!
