The Banker

[@J4CK50N.]

12:54 Sixteen?! Glad to see him here.

[@Soundwave3591]

Said it on the original, and I'll say it here: it's nice to see a ghost that isn't malevolent or seeking revenge for something. Well done indeed.

[@tencents6]

When you think about these ghost stories, most of them are not malevolent. The only ones who were malevolent were Old Dean Morris, the Soldier at Ballahoo Manor, and Mr. Clarke (Dulcie's old driver). Everyone else were either stuck in a loop of some sort or unable to rest in peace.

[@whoknows1990]

It lovely when old videos like this are remastered.

[@A_Calm_K2]

Wait there was an old version?

[@jacksexton7321]

[@caledonianrailway1233]

Do you think we will get a remake of Thomas and hamish

[@ChimpManZ1264]

​@@jacksexton7321So the original would have been filmed on Trainz 2012?

[@TankEngine97]

The original has always been a favourite of mine. Really enjoyed this remastered version. The concept of a ghost who just wants to prove their usefulness even after death is something very unique. Most ghost stories have those who either just haunt places or are restless.

[@Toonrick12]

All engines wish to be useful and their will to be useful can outlast even their mortal (?) forms.

[@J.Tstudioproduction6375]

I remembered watching the old version of the banker when I was a kid, and now seeing the remastered version many years later at the age of 18 really brings me back memories watching the old and new videos of the NRS videos, especially the ghost stories from NRS. Marvelous work on the remastered version of the banker dude. 👍

[@theradialtank212]

Me too dude me too

[@Nephalem2002]

My absolutely favourite Ghost Story of yours. Nothing malicious, no evil spirit, just a Good Spirit wanting to help during a time of need.

[@emersoninfinitystone5785]

Yes!!! I was hoping for a remaster of this story one day. The Banker is one of the best Sudrian Railway Ghosts episodes, i couldn't sleep for weeks when i first saw it as a kid. Great work!. 👻 Let us all take a moment of silence for Conrad, the friendly ghost banker.... may his spirit live on in kindness. 🖤😌

[@trevortyrrell175]

Great story, I love the idea of ghost sticking around to prove their worth even after death.

[@LittleOwl2003]

Without a doubt, my personal favourite from the original set of ghost stories. How it’s set up very cleverly with Edwards retirement before revealing the spectre to be a victim of his own eagerness and desire to help creates one of the most uniquely heartfelt concepts I’ve ever seen for a Fandom ghost story. Giving it a HD coat of paint as well as better pacing with the visuals and narration is a delight! Great job!

[@tianoc-g4811]

In a way, it's a Reverse situation of Timothy: while Timothy persists for revenge, this new engine persistent continue helping people as a local hero that continue his duty even after death. It's quite wholesome even after a tragedy.😢

[@parker-boy98]

There was someone who adapted Timothy's crash into a break failure and he was Thomas' older brother. I don't remember the name of the video though.

[@TrackMaster844]

@@parker-boy98Yeah, I kinda prefer that one

[@alfa1134]

I love how smooth and refined the remake is. The only little gripe was Pip' s dialogue when Emma had broken down and she's saying her thoughts on the ghost, the narrator seemed to have jumbled the words. Aside from that, I absolutely love this remake as it improves upon the original, which was also excellent. Sir Topham's words at the end still cracks me up!

[@jlaws8740]

People do fumble their words in real life, so it's actually quite accurate

[@Bagster321]

DCG12B's stories still hold up as always. Smudger is also a very solid narrator I like his work here. And the production value is impressive yet again.

[@CraneProductions27]

This was a very spooky story. I could feel Series 5 vibes from this, and the ghost engine giving all the engines the frights was great. I loved the explanation at the end.

[@visionarylocomotiveworks9703]

Glad to see this story remastered. This was always my favorite of your original batch of ghost stories. It shows how much you've improved as a creator.

[@JohntheLNERP2]

Epic remake!!! I really hope you do Ghosts of War and Bear and Old Dean Morris next

[@JohnDavies-cn3ro]

Good story, with very nice graphics - and I do like the pre-grouping era engines appearing. (Conrad's an Adams radial tank, for those who don't know, and it was nice to see an Immingham make a brief appearance. Years ago the Railway \Magazine published a tale you might like - a Welsh Valleys line had been built through a hill, formerly the lair of a local earl of the 'in league with the devil' variety. Every so often the line seemed to switch back in time to pre-grouping days at night, with intensive coal train workings, and all the block tokens ended up at the top end of the line.

[@OfficialTrainzGod]

finally, a remaster of something i've been waiting for

[@TheLostGamerMan]

Love how pip and emma only get two coaches. That would definitely be accurate to the model series as well lol

[@SudrianFirelighter]

I only rewatched the original the other day! I really like this remaster and I think it does do a better job at visualizing the story, but the original still has some charm to it. Conrad's presence returning after Gordon's hill was left without a banker was a really good idea, can't wait to see what remaster you have in mind next!

[@amitysluzara2022]

I've always loved this story! It's lovely to see a remaster of it

[@enginefan]

The Banker was one of my favorite stories back in the day, and seeing it remade really makes me happy. This was a perfect remake, amazing work!

[@rmstitanic3262]

You know it's only a matter of time before ShunterProductions makes a remastered version of The ghost runs at midnight

[@spicypeppers7773]

I remember watching the original back when it first came out and feeling CHILLED to boiler after watching it. So I'm glad to not only see it get a remake years later, but also somehow still (abeit not that much) manage to leave me feeling unsettled like before :D

[@kadenrobinson7067]

This is the best birthday gift ever thank you so much

[@DarthWill3]

Better timing, more angles, not to mention greater models with multiple expressions. Keep up the remakes, dude! 👍

[@jimmythemineengine3585]

Absolutely love it! I still remember the original video being one of my favourite fan ttte story's Excellent work

[@EnticinglyDeadly]

Your remastered versions are so dutifully shot and produced. Cheers to you Mr. Pearson.

[@tred6292]

I wonder if (Adam) Conrad also felt guilty for (accidentally) killing those passengers and is trying desperately to make up for that by continuing to help Banker other engines?

[@aplane9625]

It was the Adam model with the peter model’s face

[@captaindemobeard9560]

10:22 I like how there are Thomas and Friends VHS tapes on the shelf behind The Fat Controller. (Nice nod to the fact that the show exists as media in the railway series.)

[@Toonrick12]

You know, I'm surprised no one has done a story about it. My idea would be a story about AEG, but not in the way you think. While most of the engines dislike it or hate it, Thomas on the other hand, writes a letter (With help from his driver) to his counterpart saying "You might not be me, but I know you have the soul of me." A sort of passing of the torch so to speak. While I have to admit how the series has been commercialized by Mattel, I still have to at least tip the hat to those who actually make it.

[@captaindemobeard9560]

@@Toonrick12 I'll tip my hat to that too.

[@valesbridge_yt]

Oh my lord, I never thought i'd see the day this got remastered, and i am so glad it did, this & Gordon and the Ghost are two of my personal favourites

[@michaelfeldman-budarick9295]

Another remake of a great episode awesome work Can't wait to see others like the ghost runs at midnight

[@PrinceDyllan_PlayZ]

this was so beautiful so perfect. moment of silence for our ghost banker conrad but why would they be scared cuz the engine IS HELPING THEM

[@absolutelyrandomful]

The first time we see the small railway in the original books is when Duck needs to see if "very wee engines" are magic or not. Even though they're giving them ballast to get rid of the "dirty sidings". I don't know about the TV series necessarily but the RWS characters would 100 percent act like this. They're very superstitious.

[@Toonrick12]

Even if the spirit is friendly, the unknown is still a fright to the living.

[@PrinceDyllan_PlayZ]

@@Toonrick12 good point..

[@ryanlister1244]

Cool job there, ShunterProductions.

[@williamfincher2260]

It sounds like Conrad only shows up when he's needed. Edward meant that Conrad wasn't needed and Pip and Emma normally didn't need a banker at all.

[@JosephRailwayStudios2000]

Fantastic remaster!

[@richieosborn2639]

Because 87546 was the engine that was pulling the train Conrad fatally crashed into, did the trauma of seeing another engine die put him into sense?

[@ciarangleeson2880]

I don’t know if he saw it, what with the crash happening behind him, but I’d say feeling responsible for the death of a large portion of his passengers, along with another engine, would be a serious wake up call for him!
