The History Of The Slate Trucks: The History Of TTTE

[@catapultking8861]

The fact they made close up models shows the dedication of the crew wanting the best result. They didn’t have to have close ups, but they did. And the attention to detail is amazing. They don’t make shows like they used to.

[@TankEngineGirl]

The slate trucks are definitely a neat choice to add more to the narrow gauge content

[@RambunctiousReptilian]

Finally, the most important character in Thomas and Friends gets an episode.

I honest to god love the weathering on the chain at 5:47. You can practically see the rust pitting

[@shirokumaotaku]

"SNAP IT!" The way Michael Angelis always said that was pretty weird to me I guess just because of how deep the voice was for a single slate truck

[@Steamenginesunited3456]

I always loved their faces.

[@ImageneMC]

Yes they looked really nice

[@joshuariddensdale2126]

The amount of trucks the incline railway can handle was inconsistent. In one episode, it was stated as four. In another, five were seen being pulled up. In yet another, seven were seen.

Yep. Respectively Dunkin Duncan, Trucks and Duncan Gets Spooked.

Well this is the same show that showed Percy going through lower Suddery right after Gordon's Hill.

@@TheBrickGuy7939 yeah, that was a hilarious scene. They could really use some consistency!

[@robertlucido3686]

You should do Old Slow Coach, the troublesome trucks, Henrietta, and the different tankers

[@anonymousviewer6244]

Saw the notification. Screamed f*** yeah slate cars! And clicked

[@mattevans4377]

Love that the scene at the end includes Rusty and Duncan also. Almost like you know what we like ;)

[@SuperCosmicMutantSquid]

Holy crap, the ad I got on this video right when Duncan went up the incline in that infamous episode....was for Lindt Chocolate and it began with an avalanche of chocolate rolling down the screen into a pool. Foreshadowing. 🤣

[@royhay5741]

Always loved them. The original brown coloured narrow guage coal trucks are also cool

That Duncan joke at the end better go as big as "I'm banishing you to the shadow realm." XD

[@sfm_ferguson5033]

For some reason this was EVEN MORE entertaining considering each truck has its own story and just all of it. Love these reviews 🙌

Finally another rolling stock video! I look forward to seeing more of these! There's so much variety in the rolling stock category both in terms of general groups like the troublesome trucks, and more specific ones like old slow coach!

[@lukechristmas3951]

This is a great surprise! I have been a fan of the slate trucks ever since I saw Trucks and Dunkin' Duncan as a kid. I also liked the new CGI renders in Blue Mountain Mystery and Journey Beyond Sodor!!

[@Apollo_Vanron]

I thought about building a couple of these when I planned on making a 7 1/4 gauge garden railway. I've had a few false starts, but it's on the bucket list.

[@ExpressRhubarb]

smashing stuff! the question is when are we doing that Troublesome Trucks vid we discussed a while back xD

Great series. Can we get the d fusit and coaches next please?

[@Trickshotter]

ThomasTankMerch could remake all the classic episodes with all the merch he has

[@chesapeakedproductions3009]

I can kinda see why TrainBoy loves the slate trucks so much. It's because we honestly don't see any other type of narrow gauge freight car props, with a few exceptions (vans, guard vans, gondolas, comflats, etc)

[@saltbombcreations8336]

One of the slate trucks’ faces looks like an imp’s face from Plants vs Zombie

[@zackwessling7102]

The history of Bertie or Henrietta's models would be interesting

[@AquaTeen]

How a whole episode about the Troublesome Trucks with the different variations and all?

[@zachysworld1995]

You should do the history of s.c. Ruffie and his moddles

[@91myroc]

That would be great. “I’m comin’ apart!!”

[@dinowhizz444]

I think maybe a history on the express coaches would be interesting! Its always great to see more rolling stock getting focus for a change.

[@Abbojnr]

I really need to get some models that look like the narrow gauge engines and their rolling stock, there's just something about them that the larger engines in the show didnt have,

[@MrJoeyWheeler]

I've never enjoyed that bit with Duncan being pulled up the winch, mostly because the mechanics of the incline being a type of furnicular railway means that that entire interaction would be impossible - Furnicular railways require the use of gravity to move the stock up and down, which is explained when the incline is first shown - the heavy trucks are pulled down by gravity, and that energy pulls up the empty ones. In the clip, Duncan's very presence would prevent him being pulled up, because even a narrow gauge engine weighs several tons - and as a result, he would be so heavy that the slate trucks would be incapable of lifting him. Effectively, the incline would "stall" until Duncan was uncoupled.

[@bentheg9793]

I'm guessing you think the same thing, but with every "Duncan" replaced with "Skarloey" (if you know what I mean)

[@harrisonallen651]

“Brake it, Snap it!” Said the trucks - Michael Angelis

[@Hercules658]

came from tug's TUGS video and found this

[@trainfan7083]

[@thomasaly7624]

The ending scene: Dunkin' suffered a catastrophic boiler explosion with an equivalent yield of 50 tons of TNT. There were no survivors.

[@dragoncyclone_4421]

I was not expecting a video about slate trucks, but this is epic, wonder if there are any more obscure models you can cover

[@minteractivemedia]

I think the narrow gauge coaches would be cool to follow as there were three types. The open carriage, the blue coaches and red posh looking coaches.

[@GeneralLeeStudiosBrian]

I would love to see the D Fusit truck and Bulgy's model history if you haven't done either one

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

Maybe you could do a video on the history of the narrow gauge passenger coaches as I think they have an interesting history as in the Railway series they are all painted two toned cream and blue but also all the coaches on the Skarloey railway had names in the Railway Series and that they were also a bogie variant as well and the TV series has a wide a range of narrow gauge coaches in different colours including the blue and cream ones along with some red coaches and cream and green coaches but the CGI series decided to go with coaches that share the same colours as their real life counterparts on the Talylyn Railway
