After rewatching in its entirety, withput the buffering. Im gobsmacked by the sheer amount of history youve put into the Dark Railway, i absolutely loved every minute of it! Shame about Andy tho...

[@LolLol-xy4rh]

Trust me before train simulator ruined my life I had a route well a updated route and was setting out lore and history and the train sim crashed and I lost everything 5 years worth. Sigh I don’t know what to do with my life sometimes because of what train sim did to me

[@tommcglone2867]

Tom. You obviously have a deep passion for our beloved Dark Railway. By providing a conphensive history of the railway before the dawn of TDRS shows that the series is far from finished. Even after more than 10 years since the first episode

[@gbhtrain1325]

Such a fantastic history you’ve created for your series. The amount of effort, detail and lore you’ve put into this really shows how passionate you are towards your creation. It also helps fill in a few gaps in history and informs us of what happened during certain events. I was surprised to learn of the DRPS dissolving, but at least Goose and Mr B are okay, poor Andy though. Looking forward to the future Tom.

[@mattevans4377]

Just imagine, the Dark Railway finally reconnects with BR at Belgrave, and the first engine they are greeted to, is somehow a Pacer.....

[@bluebellsfan8704]

This was terrific! I loved it. It kept buffering but I still loved it! The visuals and everything else was amazing. Very well put together

[@BettiesBeans]

It's really cool that your first line was based on the bodmin and wenford! I'm a volunteer at that railway and had to do a double take when you said it XD

[@DC4260Productions]

I can't quite believe how much depth and history there is to TDRS. Well done, Mr. Dibden.

[@vulcan_thunder]

This was incredible. You've built an incredible set of lore for the Dark Railway

[@pansparrow]

Fantastic video! Loved every bit of it (minus the buffering during the premier, but that's KZbin sometimes)! Also nice to see my screenshot got featured at 1:04:26, I'm glad I could contribute towards this!

[@jacobmcdorman6859]

The repeated mentions of the lawyers are hilarious.

[@LMS5935]

This is the best history lesson I've ever had and that's hard to beat considering that I love social studies and what's my best grade

[@lbsc108gb5]

It would be nice if the Dark Railway were to obtain an LNER engine for their fleet. And possibly adding a narrow gauge line the same gauge as the ffestiniog railway in the future.

[@TURBOBLU-fx6mn]

Dark doesn’t seem to like LNER engines for whatever reason so I doubt that will happen

Belgrave, Upwey? Hmm having worked on the metro trains tender back in 2008 in Melbourne they sound familiar 😉 Great story !

As Andy dies because Bear

[@fairywolf7515]

I like how this doesn't acknowledge or even imply the locos are sentient and when looked at next to the main seires almost imply they railway workers are all crazy

[@MidlandProductions]

at 21:51 got my thinking. Cheapside was scrapped in October 1951 due to broken crank axle. this doesn't work if you bought the engine.

[@gwrstudios5181]

Now after hearing about the society disbanding and what happened to Andy and the fate of goose I feel really depressed we all know goose hated being under control of the chairman

[@LolLol-xy4rh]

I feel that a latter story will be that the dark railway will need another diesel to help out the other diesels because they are starting to get more and more over used and that Alan suggests Andy and go to buy him but by that time it was to late and Andy sadly was scraped but then that’s where 2020 comes in to help the diesels in place of Andy. This could be a dark railway story but idk I’ll let u guys think

[@gwrstudios5181]

@@LolLol-xy4rh well I like to think that it will kinda be like godred but also that the fat controller will take pitty on Andy and repair him to working order or atlesst won’t scrap him and he will be left in the shed and the other locomotives will convince the fat controller to fix him up

[@hoangho6781]

Jeez these lawyers must be really good at they’re job I’m surprised Mr dark did not give them a payraise

[@Renault_75-34MX]

So andy is now a spares doner? That sucks

Definitely not. I dont think what I produce can really live up to his legacy.

[@oldcharliebean239]

What episode was the disappearance of the 6 engines in the summer of 1963?

[@DDJP]

That covers the TDRS film, 'Event Horizon'.

[@oldcharliebean239]

Thank you

[@oldcharliebean239]

Dark DJ Productions would you ever remake some of your older seasons?

It's interesting how D1110 was originally stationed within the North east of England.

1958, along with Brian.

@@DDJP thanks also when’s the new season of the dark railway coming out and I would love to see more of have Dave and Hannah relationship plays out i believe train love is the most interesting like how people put Thomas and Rosie as couple in there world like how you do with Dave and Hannah

Where and how did you get the black 5 BR green reskin?

Now this is just a guess but with the name Lord Theodore Raymond Dark, other than Theo did Raymond the diesel get his name from him as well?

Kind of.
