Tales from the Scrap Sidings 3: Fiddle Yard Fright

A new feature has been added to one of the stations on Thomas’ branch line for the tourists to marvel at; a small model railway in the station waiting room. While most of the Ffarquar engines get a kick out of the tiny trains, one of them just can’t see the appeal.
Note: Found a visual error and had to delete the original cut and then re-export it.

I find Daisy complaining about how she looked in the classic series even though she’s in her classic series design in this absolutely hilarious.

[@ciarangleeson2880]

I know, right? When she was ranting on about it, I found myself thinking “Cut the production crew some slack, Daisy, they were on a tight budget!”.

[@thesudriana016]

1:51 Not only just a great reference to the TV Series, but also to Rick Siggelkow's dislike for Daisy having that embodied makeup. Looks like Daisy is on the same page as him!

[@fanofeverything30465]

Kind of halierous considering Dasiy is wearing makeup in that scene

[@22Tesla]

@@fanofeverything30465 True, but she's not wearing blush, so she's not THAT dolled up, just a little to make her look a bit pretty.

[@fanofeverything30465]

@@22Tesla I was suggesting Dasiy might be a hypocrite

[@ciarangleeson2880]

It kind of adds her whole Prima Donna style personality, anyway.

[@EnticinglyDeadly]

Now this is something I think would be great on tv. It’s like that episode of the Twilight Zone where the 2 people are running through a deserted town only to find out they’re in a doll set. With this, there are so many possibilities. You could have the hands belong to any random child, wilbert awdry, Britt allcroft or filmmakers of the real show or any Thomas creator on KZbin that uses it. Lovely stuff.

[@fanofeverything30465]

Somebody needs to adapt this story

[@trainboy7]

Pretty funny and ironic how Daisy goes from breaking the fourth wall to having a nightmare about being on a Model Railway. It's both interesting and scary. Imaging what a Trainz remake of this would look like!

[@engineerskalinera]

This is excellent. I've never seen any Thomas story try to tackle the subject of models. Reminds me of that one time, when I was still but a wee lad, imagining myself as a model train engine on a giant layout. In hindsight, i don't think i'd have enjoyed that as much as I though i would back then.

[@whisperingwaterfall01]

Lol

[@BenjaminAlcine]

Gotta say, a very good fourth wall/ spooky story, paying tribute to Rev Awdry, his work, layouts and models, and the show too, all in one spooky package Great stuff sir! ❤🎉

[@lukechristmas3951]

I don't think this one tops the previous story but I love The Twilight Zone theme here. Even though the narrator said, "but we know, don't we?" can we really say in confidence that Daisy had a super realistic nightmare of being a OO scale model? Furthermore, I think from where this story went, an adaption would show a shot of Daisy's windows which are smudged with what looks to be gigantic fingerprints... I still give this story a top rating seeing how much models have had a part in the development in the Thomas and Friends franchise. The Hornby-logo inspired thumbnail immediately gave me that hint. When I saw that I predicted that Daisy would see the OO scale models come to life and would be the only one who could see them alive.

Very spooky story once again! Certainly one way to get Daisy to respect the model railway.

[@Bulbasaur617]

This is a good and interesting story here. Seeing Daisy have a dream of being in a model set when T&F in fact do use models in the Television series before switching to CGI. Kinda fourth wall breaking here.

[@HarryTheMediaDude24]

I love the idea of Toryreck having a model train layout replica of the station itself and Daisy looking down her nose at it, until after having a nightmare.

[@matthewspencer7948]

Yeah first Henry and the ghost train and now Fiddle yard fright, two engines sure did have some nightmares about it, Henry dreamt that he was in a tunnel with the ghost train and then Daisy dreamt that she was on a model railway with faceless engines and people, how very entertaining that was

[@TankEngine97]

Another great story. Am I the only one who thinks the title graphic looks like the Hornby logo? It even uses the same colours.

[@Dragonmdk]

That's... the point.

[@benscott8782]

Whoa that was a Twisted Tale! Daisy having a nightmare about being on a Model Railway! This would only fitting as a Railway Series Story.

[@comicfan1324]

The question is, was it a nightmare or did she see beyond the fourth wall?

[@22Tesla]

Who knows?

[@ChowderTDMOFCAL]

Definitely a nightmare

[@trevortyrrell175]

Ok if it's the latter, that would be harlarious.

[@markpatton370]

I say a nightmare

Bad dream.

[@mitchellwhittington2507]

Awesome story! Makes me want to build a layout even more now!

Daisy gets stuck in Drayton Manor and other stories. Me when I see the Wooden Railway train table at Barnes and Noble and Toys R us be like: 😊 2:40: That episode made me nervous to watch. That and "Henry and the elephant" I was afraid of watching as a kid... "Bulls Eyes" I thought Champion was going to charge at Daisy in fast stop motion and the same for "Henry and the elephant" when the workman were running out of the tunnel and when Henry got sprayed with water... :( 12:41: My reaction to Daisy being made into Bachmann be like: 😁😀👍💚 THATS MY GIRL!! :D

[@TKSP4449]

Whether the supernatural is involved or not, fate has a certain way of ensuring stuck up engines like Daisy are put firmly in their place.

This is a really nice concept for a story and I really how the TV series is cannon to this story!

The Super Smash Bros games crossed my mind upon seeing the giant hands. XD

[@Stormrider019]

If someone decides to animate this episode I wonder how they'll handle the "Giant Hands" from the nightmare.

[@J.Tthebluepannier6375]

Another great spooky story once again, this really has a lot of great references both in real life, rws, and tv series. Everyone that helped out with the voice acting roles in the story really did a great job.

*I like to Imagine that the Nightmare was just Daisy having her consciousness moved into the model railcar, and being back to her normal body when she woke up, which is why it’s shown at the end*
