Tales from the Scrap Siding 3: Run Cold

After the magic of the holidays has come and gone, the magic of winter fades away. Happiness fades away, shadows creep in, and the temperature drops. Snuggle up close to the fire and make sure your engine’s tucked away in their shed…. less they receive a visitor in the night.

[@uhuhmwell]

"Steam engines only know warmth, but what happens when they... Run Cold?" Clever. Very clever

[@vaclavmacgregor2464]

Nice title drop.

[@zafool4997]

RIP Jack. Poor bastard didn’t deserve to go that way. The big tender engine, on the other hand, deserved what he got for being a selfish…*ahem* Cunt. As for why Jack appeared before James…well, I guess to troll him. I can see Jack’s attack on the BTE being one of revenge, and after the cucumber passed away and got scrapped, he basically had nothing to do and decided to become a wandering spirit. as for why Percy didn’t die, well…perhaps Jack can manipulate the cold in both ways, lowering and raising it? Or was it the fact Percy willingly gave up his coal to help others as an act of selflessness being what spared him? and this was the one that was Scary Jack Frost not the next one, though we’ll see if it’s a sequel

[@TankEngine97]

You took a pretty simple and innocent season 6 story and made a lot more spooky. For one, we see an engine version of Jack Frost who's frozen expression kind of reminds me of Jack from 'The Shining'. I'm guessing Jack's basis looks like Thirteen the Unlucky Engine from that magazine story. Hope my performance as Thomas was ok. Really enjoyed this. 👍

[@22Tesla]

Yup, Jack is kinda like Thirteen, and I think your performance as Thomas was perfect! It was wonderful having you included in this years stories

There is just one thing I need to be a bit more specific about them to you thought what I meant they could be in the same size and length as the ertl silly trucks I meant like they could have the size roofs and chassis and size of buffers just like the ertl silly trucks do.

I like the eerie mystery of this because we know how the actual story in the series goes but with the twist of that Red Herring with Percy claiming to be somewhere else at the time does give you some shivers at the realization. I also like the post-Christmas and New Year's setting of the story as January as always seemed to be the coldest in my experience. The month of January has the potential to be scarier than most people give it credit for.

Okay. So, Sparks’ specialty is adding more insight to stories that were already established. First, there was more insight on the engine that lost her whistle in Scaredy Engines. Now, we have more insight on Jack Frost. I can only imagine Sparks adding more insight to the infamous “Ghost Train Of The Gap”, or the “Old Iron Bridge Ghost”.

This was by far the creepiest of the stories this year. I love how it's unclear whether James was imagining things, or if he really did see the spirit of Jack Frost. Sure looked freaky by the way. I love the idea of an engine with ice-based abilities. It's like the opposite of what an engine typically is, with fire.

[@andrewscolari5724]

I have some ideas for next Halloween. " The Haunted Signal Box" There is an old signal box by a disused branch line. The signal Box hasn't been occupied in years. According to Edward it was once occupied by the best signalman on the railway. One night the signalman died of a sudden heart attack and was discovered by the crew of an old engine when the signal didn't change. And the Signalman's ghost still haunts it. Gordon doesn't believe the story until he sees a light in the old signal box and signal set to red. Gordon freaks out and reverses back to the last station. It turns out Sir Topham Hatt recently reactivated the signal box and hired a new signalman to run it. "Diesel Gets Spooked" Diesel is being haunted by ghost of a diesel express engine that holds Diesel responsible for causing the wreck on the mainland decades ago that ended his life, even though it wasn't Diesel's fault.

[@22Tesla]

Hmmm.... not bad. Not sure if I'll make em, but you're welcome to write and film them if you want

This story *Froze* me to the bone (pun maybe intended 😳) when I first saw it. I also love how you added the ‘freeze thaw’ effect I learned that in GCSE Geography. But to see it on a live TTTE Character is incredibly unsettling. The way 13 ‘explodes’ from the water expanding into ice. And the face of the express engine after his boiler implodes. I also like the ending when James and Percy are left in suspense when James realises it wasn’t Percy he saw at Maron as he was asleep at Wellsworth. Not to mention the creepy skeleton like face. Utterly Brilliant yet a frigid story!

[@Bulbasaur617]

Well this was a "chilling" take on the original episode, Jack Frost. Nice to see more interpretations with another scary T&F story from the television series. A fantastic job on it.

[@auraknight1004]

My god. That story gives me the chills, literally.

[@bengray8637]

Chills, hehe. Temperature humour.

[@jacobmcdorman6859]

Title translates to "Run Cold." Presumably. That is assuming that the first letter is an uppercase I (pronounced "eye"), and not a lowercase l (pronounced "el.") If it is, in fact, a lowercase l, than it instead translates to the slightly more confusing "Oun Cold." A quick Google search says that OUN is short for the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists. While Ukrain is indeed cold, I can't help but think that "Run Cold," is the correct title. In other words, we appear to have another contender for that illustration of a frozen tank engine.

[@22Tesla]

Yeah, the fonts are dumb that way. Is it a capital i or a lower case L?

[@vaclavmacgregor2464]

A blast i was looking forward to this episode since i saw it in the trailer strongest so far!A really chilling tale.

[@oliverhood1732]

And icy

[@OzzyTheE2]

This is definitely my favorite story so far, great work!

[@DVR01]

I have 2 theories about all of this in here: 1. Thomas actually made up that story because he and we know that ice melts off easily once the steam engine's temperature hot freeing the victim 2. The way James saw that scary face on Percy was because of the blizzard's mist which created a mirage making others see things that aren't there So you see there's nothing to be scared of.

[@stardustkevin7322]

Would that be this retelling or the original from the show cuz the retell goes out of its way to show James saw something but that something wasn't Percy as he was at a different location when his ice mask formed

My favorite story from Tales from the Scrap Siding 3.

[@TheSandwhichman108]

Possible scenario: A few days later- Edward and James have been tasked with pulling the mail train as Percy requires repairs and Thomas is busy at the transfer yards. Edwards was finishing up his last train for the night. Edward- My word…And I thought the last freeze was bad a few d-…Wait…Driver you see something ahead? Driver- Seems like an Engine…Wait…Is that James?…What’s he doing sitting on the main line? Edward- James what are you doing h-OH MY G__! Upon closer inspection James was caked in ice and snow. The most disturbing part was the face of terror frozen under an icey mask…Eyes bulged wide and nose completely black from frost bite. Something was carved into the side of his boiler. Edward- James?…JAMES?! Where’s his crew?! How did this happen?! Fireman- …What the? Beware Jack?…Where’s his- Driver- Uhh lads?…I think I found them. Fireman-… The crew finds James Driver and fireman seemingly flung from his cab having died from the impact there bodies blue with frostbite as well. Edward- …So seems Jack is at it again…We need to get back to the sheds and inform the fat controller about this.

[@thequietestengine]

A great and spooky story, bit of a shame the 'comic book cover' art of Jack Frost with the skull-like Jack o lantern face didnt show up here, I love that image. Almost expected it as a jumpscare ^^

[@Jedi-ge6lr]

I kinda prefer how it looks here.

[@ryancampbell4119]

I feel like jack wouldn’t attack industrial and small locomotives since in life he was gruff but friendly with them and that he was warning James about his attitude but didn’t kill him because he wasn’t as bad as the engines he killed. Did he protect Percy from suffering damage from being out all night like he did cause I always thought that Percy would have had some damage from being outside with water in his boiler unless his crew emptied his boiler of water. I’m getting a Scaredy Engine vibe from this story.

[@22Tesla]

Yeah, possibly. We'll never really know how a ghost such as Jack operate. Maybe he did help spare Percy and just give James a bit of a scare to say "Yeah, I'm real, don''t mock me."

[@ryancampbell4119]

@@AnaCruz-tj7vn I guess because he did retain his mind in some since it would depend on how bad a engine would be in Murdochs case he would do nothing because I don’t recall him doing anything to any tank engine as for Henry well I don’t see him doing anything to him other than a scare like with James because Henry never did anything like the engine that pushed him in the cold nor has he really been vicious to any little engine. I mean was he a bit mean to Thomas’s and Percy when they worked as station pilot yes but that was more you are young and inexperience not I’m more important than you. One question I don’t know is what would he do to engines like Diesel who bully everyone?

[@J4CK50N.]

This was a really scary story 22Tesla. I never knew that you and some friends could take such innocent stories from a kids show and turn it into something like, *this!* This was incredible! Now we need an adaptation, like MickeyFan did with your Killdane Experiment story.

[@AbbeyYard]

I have an idea for next Halloween, a ghost story involving that one red engine from The Sad Story of Henry, and the scrap engine from Thomas and the Tiger.

[@VeriasmcBanker]

Yo I think James just imagined the whole Jack Frost thing! He might have been seeing things but that could be the fog messing with him and leading James seeing “Jack Frost”

[@oliverhood1732]

So Thomas’s story about Jack Frost was true and he doesn’t know about that

[@1Korlash]

Pros: The quality of the art and the way it was used in the story were great, with cuts and fade-ins timed perfectly. Also, the climax and ending were really good, and it was cool seeing someone take a shot at making this story scary. Cons: Jack Frost's tale was mostly good, but a little more melodramatic than it needed to be. Perhaps less screaming would've made it better? Overall: 8/10, mostly carried by the awesome art and strong final act. Kudos on making Jack Frost scary!
