This episode literally explains who I am I suffer severe depression and anxiety along with a plethora of other mental conditions, but despite that, I've managed to carry on. This episode literally saved my life. Thank you.

[@johnpaulfraley2014]

I have autism, not many issues with depression though, and this is my favorite episode ever.

[@stephenfarthing1522]

Gordon and Henry with Boco - a little perturbed by the Truck's singing - Edward and Stepney not so bothered - hilariously funny. 😂😂😂😂😂

[@aplane9625]

And Neil enjoyed it

[@stephenfarthing3819]

Quite right! No disagreement with that!

[@andybray9791]

“How did you survive” “Mentally I didn’t” That’s the quote Is… deep

[@firelightyear]

When Neil mentioned "Loaf of bread" at 8:56 he's referring to that as the Middle eastern version of the "French revolution".

[@tillerd6769]

11:11 love that quote from forrest gump

[@williameggleton414]

The world is a scary place sometimes, Neil sir. There are two sides to people and things in this world. Light and darkness. Neil is shining brightly through his aged axles and gears. The Indian engines have either light with a hint of shadow or just dark personalities with a little soft speck light of empathy. As for the Somalians, the engines are the latter similar to the Indians but the people behind all this depression are pure darkness. Darkness in it's blackest form. One that is only shone by fire and rage. Keep the sky blue, Neil! Mark our words!

[@stephenfarthing3819]

It wasn't just that for me. You guys prove that certain pieces of music can offer relief from fear. For me, it was a hymn that made me face a fear of a hospital operation. ' I, the lord of sea and sky!' got me to face it and not run away from it. For Neil it was that song from Monty Python and the Holy Grail and he realised that a lot of the Engines were there for him. Neil was afraid of - well ? - basically everything. And even coming back home to Sodor. Didn't help, not until he knew that the Engines of Sodor were there for him. Stepney's right, you really don't know what will happen. It's like a box of chocolates! And indeed. Mark Twain - or Samuel Clemens as he was also known - knew the demons of this matter. It took the version of ' I, the lord of sea and sky' by the Wells Cathedral Choir for me, to face the fear of that hospital operation and prove to me, that hiding or running is not the answer. If you do have some of these fears, then listen to that version of this hymn for yourselves, of ALL AGES!! Being afraid or scared is understandable. If you do another story featuring Neil, Clive and Matthew - try to put that into it. And there's some youngsters in Uvalde in Texas, who need that sort and kind of help. Those old characters have a wisdom of their own. And maybe there's a way of a path to be found.

[@garrenschiller2719]

When Neil was explaining that everyone was slaughtered in his story, I hear Lilly's theme. I remember that theme from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollow's Part 2. I feel sad about Neil's story in India and i hope his friends help him get over his past experience.

[@Just_B_9706]

Me too, hearing that theme gave me chills :(

[@stephencurtis8236]

Always look on the bright side of life is a great song and because of this video I discovered Monty Python, the original group who sang that song, thanks for a great song and a wonderful video, I love all you episodes

How about the 3 engines work in America and they would work in California from 1941-1967 and in 1969, the 3 engines were sent to the Strasburgh railroad . In 1978 the 3 engines were separated so Neil would go to a rail yard in Chicago, Mathew would work at a rail yard in ohio and Clyde would work at a rail yard in Wyoming but they were all sent to 3 separate railroad museums in 1986 and Neil ran excursions at his railroad museum from 1987-2000,Mathew ran excursions at his railroad museum from 1987-1993 and Clyde ran excursions at his railroad museum from 1987 to 1996

[@TheHylianBatman]

Wow. This one was very good. What a beautiful story told here. It's plenty realistic, too. That was great. Neil's story is exceptionally well told, and his attitude is very true, very realistic. He's just great. It escapes me why he would just let Thomas go, however; it seems to me he would say something. Although not doing that enabled the story, so I'm not complaining. The rest of the characters were fantastic, too. Gordon was no help, but that's as usual, so no complaints there. The representation of the urge to commit suicide here isn't 100% true to life here, but I don't believe it needs to be in this case; the way it is works just fine. The real pictures were a little jarring, however, especially the baby one. I'm not sure they were necessary. What was with the voices? Neil's was alright, but Stepney's was terrible, and what the hell happened to Edward's in the middle? It sounded like somebody else patched it up after the fact! Random question: why was Toad with Duck? Is Oliver okay with that? Something I noticed was the music; finally, the music is back the way it should be. It was great. And don't think I missed that Star Wars music in there! This whole episode was shot extremely well; now I just want to know what happened to Matthew and Clive! Overall, this one is one of your best. It supplants it's predecessor as my second-favorite in your series, and even challenges Brave Brothers, though it doesn't quite take it over... yet. This is the quality I'll be expecting in the future.
