The Big Four - Prior the act: Desperate Replacements

[@kristinabegail]

49:29 “Well then, let’s change that.” *All the engines come*

[@Thatonesaddletank]

Melissa is probably one of the mains here, her attitude goes from rude, and after having to shunt, and loosing an argument to a new express engine her shift may have started! She finally asks for help when she realizes she can’t do it, and seeing the what the k class did to help, she starts to think. And when the trip finishes, she says thanks, she apologizes and she acknowledges she had finally reached her limit, and she asks for a break, and she asks for a break, she explains everything that happened and why she is like this. And she apologizes to every engine in the end!

[@ketelieappolon3617]

A great recap of the story

[@evanclarke5561]

Every engine but for Thomas

[@ReeceCreeper]

Yea fan of hiro should make a vid Thomas returns London to save his friends to sodor

[@TheAutisticCapricorn811]

Quite an experiencing development Melissa has been trial with as a character.

[@zerosen1972]

Seeing that C2x in Marsh Black in the beginning really makes me smile. When I commissioned all those LBSCR Locos and Wagons from Camscott I never imagined they would show up in something as amazing as this. Bravo Hiro. Keep up your fantastic content Mate! 😁👍

[@billyjordan8588]

It's amazing always wondered what the other non faceless on the mainland handled things from the big four to British railways like the Engines of sodor did

[@PinguPlaysMCOfficial]

This has got to be one of the greats series I’ve watched so far. Can’t really complain or ague on that. Great work Fan of Hiro!

[@LightningTheLMS3FJinty2020]

Amazing Episode. The LBSCR Is My Favorite Railway.

[@DavidScholz-bu1ix]

Mine, too! Besides, you'll be very proudly pleased to happily know that I personally just suddenly came up with the officially well-knowingly clever idea of completely recreating the famously well-known L B S C Railway class E 2 tank engines from scratch with modifications that officially include 55" drive wheels as well as exactly a total of 2 cylinders placed on the inside @ exactly 18"x 26" each as well as a specifically precise working wonderfully great @ 180 PSI boiler pressure as well as a specifically precise total of 22783 lbs of tractive effort as well as officially increasing the amount of H2O in each of his own official extended side tanks alongside his own officially well-known short stumpy boiler to carry more water than the members of the L B S C Railway class E 2 tank engines! Thus, that certainly would basically 100% absolutely mean that Thomas the Tank Engine himself was a specifically wonderfully officially total success despite the other members of his own official class of steam-driven railway locomotives were sentenced to the scrapyard to get cut up into pieces by the horrifyingly terrior of the Scrapper's torch by 1963 during the time under British Railways ownership exactly 15 whole years straight after nationalization began!

[@BlueShunter13]

Wait there’s another OC E1 named Mark who’s blue? And they also mentioned the E1x rebuild which is what my OC class…Smol world 7:40

[@DavidScholz-bu1ix]

I personally just suddenly realized that they've certainly done such an officially excellent job on including Thomas the Tank Engine himself in this official video alongside Stepney who's basically nowadays working wonderfully great on the famously well-known Bluebell Railway! Besides, not too long ago when watching another awesomely excellent KZbin video by Fan of Hiro titled N W R Profiles learning 'bout the officially well-known modifications that officially include 55" drive wheels ad well as exactly 2 cylinders placed directly over on the inside @ 18"x26" each as well as a specifically precise working wonderfully great @ 180 PSI boiler pressure ad well as a specifically precise 22783 lbs of tractive effort as well as 1340 imp gallons of fresh H2O in each of the extended side tanks alongside the officially well-known short stumpy boiler!!!!

[@DavidScholz-bu1ix]

I seriously do actually seem to personally think that the modifications that Fan of Hiro mentioned in N W R Profiles MUST'VE been the officially official modifications made to himself BEFORE leaving the mainland for his own official new home located on the Island of Sodor's own officially well-knowingly famously excellently popular North Western Railway!

[@AnaCruz-tj7vn]

Can’t wait to see it

[@FlashCameraStudio]

OH dear it's the K class 2-6-4Tank engines the class were named after rivers were nicknamed ''Rolling rivers'' they unstable and speed due to their high centre of gravity which lead to a terrible crash which lead to the K class being rebuilt into the U class 2-6-0 of which one rebuild exists today 31806.

[@ash-man603]

Correction: Olivia's based on the LBSCR L Class, which was later rebuilt into the N15X by Richard Maunsell. The K Class you're thinking of was the one Maunsell himself designed for the SECR. Kinda odd though since Darwin is also a K Class, the 2-6-0 variant designed by Billinton.

[@kennethjoseph9309]

Sorry for the late response. I like what you did in this story now focusing on the Billigton locomotives and their quite interesting seeing hiw Thomas, Stepeny, Gladstone, and many more were desperate for a change in the increasing work load. What class is Oliva and what's her top speed? For a tank engine she's fast.

[@lukeslocomotives]

She's a Class J2

[@Marcstrainsandfunko]

I just had a thought for my au involving mark edward kinda looks and sounds like mark and essentially looks like an upscalled version so here it is When Thomas was built mark almost immediately became his best friend and idol in 1915 when Thomas went to sodor he left mark and didn’t have anyone to tell him off or give him discipline making him what he is in his arrival Neil Clive Matthew and toby remedy the situation but if Edward had been a few weeks or months late Thomas would’ve reverted this is because when Thomas met Edward who was older and was essentially his old idol as a tender engine so this could be why Thomas looks up to Edward please comment if you agree 👍

[@alexandershow1595]

I wish we could see the LNER stories or other companies engines tales. I actually kinda miss this series.

Darwin’s front wheels are crimson, yet the other wheels are black?

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

The 1910s of Britain's locomotives were tough in those days, even during WW1.

[@evanclarke5561]

Tough for Aussie steamies too. I'm sure by 1917 on the Victorian Railways, all the R Class 2-2-2s and B Class 2-4-0s as well as many X class 0-6-0s had became scrap metal.

[@Hydro_J]

Absolutely loved this video!!❤❤👍👍👍

[@Pontiac1929]

Do part 2 and you can do that the part 2 later because you probably need sleep by now so you definitely deserve some rest and 2 months by now you can do the part 2 please I really am waiting for a update on the other trains because I noticed that the war ended 3 years later after the E2 class steam train’s where made only 10 were made and then by the 60s it’s by the time they needed a break after the 47 years of service (1913 1919 1963)

[@alexanderdragonheart2036]

Funny enough I’ve been working on my own private Thomas and Friends fan series rewrite inspired by Victor Tanzig and now you too fan of Hiro. The first story(which I’m still working on) tells all about Thomas’s time on The London Brighton And South Coast Railway and why he left. Actually I have a question for anyone who can answer. If an express train pulled by an H1 locomotive tried pulling a second series e2 behind it, what would happen ?
