This is a great story. Stanley is literally one of my favorite RWS characters.

[@ronanvave560]

Same. Shame that he didn't have a redemption arc.

[@legoroan9866]

I love how sir Handel narrates this, I like to imagine that this is many decades after the TV series

[@jordandorsett3106]

Exactly

[@quarrylocomotiveproduction5439]

I like how Christopher does a good job as Duke he's an old engine and Christopher giving him that voice is spot on

[@flashstudiosguy]

For all concerned, the Manager's "creepy psycho" music is called "Private Reflection by Kevin Macloid

[@flashstudiosguy]

Yeah,that's what I meant

7:41 Duke: oh! You impudent beast! 😡

Why did the manager just laugh after telling Stanley that he was going to make him useful at last my God is he evil ?

[@StirlingProduct01]

These are really inspiring and marvellous stories, I love them. :)

its still a great story about the Mid Sodor railway's history

[@joelharris1335]

Because of his recklessness and lack of respect for Duke or something on those lines... No pun intended!

[@ctran0393]

I sure wouldn't blame the manager for Stanley being screwed up. He didn't have much of a choice let alone a feeling of sympothy for that jackass of a steam engine. Just like Albert, Stanley just gave him too much to handle. If any one of us today were in the same position as the manager is, I don't think we would've behaved any differently in terms of engines who brag OR think too much of themselves instead of others.

[@sonicthehedgehogfan4545]

What about Smudger

[@ZAV1944]

Smudger was Stanley's TV series analog. Likely as budget constraints didn't allow them to make a model of the Class 10-12-D(Stanley's basis), and by the time the narrow gauge engines made their debut on T&F they were already deviating quite a bit from the RWS.

[@nathanchan4653]

@@ZAV1944 they made Smudger, not only due to budget constraints, but having Stanley’s “stereotypical American attitude” can cause an upset to the American audience as Stanley could “offend” American people.
