The BR 04s did have cow catchers and sideplates, but only the ones that worked on the Wisbech & Upwell Tramway or Great Yarmouth Docks. This is because they were working in places where there were people in danger of getting swiped under the wheels, so they need the extra wheel coverage. As displayed on Toby, the J70s (which were replaced by the BR 04s) also had this feature if they worked in those areas.
There have been black 04 shunters, I have a Bachmann model of one and also the 04s did have cow catchers and plating covering the wheels. Although from what I have seen from photos these examples served on the Wisbech and Upwell Tramway which ran between Cambridgeshire and Norfolk.
The Milwaukee road had two classes of Hudsons. The first being conventional locomotives, and the second batch being streamlined engines designed by Otto kuhler. If only devious diesel was present, then I could call his British Railways counterpart; gronk. I think Simon Martin would’ve appreciated that reference.
Its amazing how many new characters have been added in the new Thomas episodes. The only different locomotives in Thomas when I was growing up were the narrow gauge engines based on the trains from the talyllyn railway.
Really love this series. Looks like Connor is based on a New York Central Dreyfuss hudson despite not being two-tone gray. The NYC Dreyfuss hudson has been made by Rivarossi and Broadway Limited in HO. MTH made it too, but their electronics are so unreliable I always hesitate to mention them.
Thanks very much Andrew - yes I think you're right - probably not very correct to have shown mine, but it makes up the numbers! Appreciate the info mate, Cheers, Sam :)
Hi Sam, great video. I was talking to an ex-railway man the other day and apparently the controls of the sentinels faced the longer nose, so therefore that is technically the front, however like you say as shunters they would have ran in both directions. I also found out the controls on a class 20 face away from the engine so they run cab 1st for visibility. (You can see a video of him on TH-cam in the Rosie and Jim episode 'The Steam Train'. His name is Ken.) George
Awesome Sam! I’m sure you’ve noticed, they’re starting to make the characters more realistic by upgrading them! Giving them rivets, more handrails, and lots of other things!
Favourite diesel is the Class 28 Metrovick. There's one in Thomas named 'Boco'. You think you can find one? But engines in general is.... A Japanese engine, the JNR D51...
Great video Sam I really enjoy when you do Thomas videos although you should definitely try and get your hands on a streamlined Hudson as they are amazing locomotives and very fast
Hey, just realized that this was uploaded on my 27th birthday. :D Also I have some other ideas for real life Thomas characters (if you ever do another video): -ICI Hopper Wagon = Hector -Terrier = Stepney -Class 07 Shunter = Salty -GWR Diagram E39 TRI brake coach = Old Slow Coach -J94 Saddle Tank = Wilbert and Sixteen -LMS Coronation Class = Dutchess -LMS Patriot = Big City Engine -Bellerophon 0-6-0WT = Sonny -Ruston = Dart -Class 08 Shunter = Diesel/Paxton/Sidney/Splatter/Dodge -City of Truro (as himself) -J50 = Original Awdry Thomas Model
Fun fact about merlin: he is based on a specific member of the king arthur class with 3 smoke stacks so that it could puff out large clouds of steam to hide it from ww2 aircraft, and the number of this locomotive was 783 and the actual name of this engine wasn’t merlin, but was actually called Sir Gillemere.
Den at 8:55 has his exhaust at the front, so your model is facing the correct way. A great comparison if kids are watching this - to let them know that these were actually based on real trains that were out there a long long time ago !!
Hi! Ive seen you reply on some of my comments :D and I really appreciate it! :) And once again keep up the good work I really enjoy watching you're videos ;) can you get Bachmann Henry and Percy? Anyways great video i really like Rebecca in real life :D and can you do a Thomas and friends HO/OO gauge collection and have a close up of them... I'm just requesting. I also like Rosie she looks good in pink! An as always great video!
My pleasure mate - thank you for taking the time to leave comments yourself! I'm hoping to do more Bachmann reviews very soon! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
10:20 you could've just used a 4-wheeled coach or make him pull Annie and Clarabel as he sometimes did in the show! But running your engines by themselves is something you should do more often! 11:54 some real 04 shunters did have cowcatchers and sideplates to work on routes the J70 did you were spot on at the end!
Mavis, I think, is based on the Drewry 0-6-0 shunter. In the UK Drewry didn't build their own engine but subcontracted them to companies such as English Electric, Robert Stephenson, Vulcan and Hawthorn as well as British Railways workshops. The latter became the 03/04s. Because they were an industrial locomotive, there was nothing to stop Drewry from selling them for private use in quarries, dockyards etc. The covering of the sides using plates would be required if the engines travelled on public roads although I am not sure about cowcatchers. It is quite possible that some may have been sold to industry with protective side plates like Mavis has.

Hey Sam. I actually heard that Bachmann will be making Daisy for the Thomas and Friends line. As for your little challenge, I will name all the familiar faces in specific lists: Thomas and Real Life. Thomas: Thomas, Gordon, Henry, and Spencer. Real Life: LB&SCR E2, Flying Scotsman, LMS Black Five, A4 Silver Link, and Stephenson’s Rocket.
The engines at the back are Henry/LMS 5MT Black 5, Gordon/ LNER A1 Pacific, Thomas/ LBSC E2 tank engine, Spencer/LNER A4 Pacific Stephen/ Stephenson's rocket or The Rocket.
My favorite class would have to be the NZR Ka Class 4-8-4. A class of 35 large mixed traffic (most of the NZR stock was mixed traffic) locos, these, along with their sister Kb class (witch are almost identical except for a booster unit in the trailing bogie) where built following the success of the K class, and where the largest locos to ever run in New Zealand. Of the 35 Ka locos built, 3 survive, and of the extended family with the K (30 locos) and Kb (6 locos), 3 K's survive and 1 Kb. My personal favorite individual loco is Ka 942. She is the only one currently operational, and is mainline certified.
Having watched both the Thomas in real life I felt there were a few notable absentees (unless there is a third video hiding somewhere). The characters I can think of immediately are. Gordon (Although That maybe a Gresley A3), James, Edward, Devious Deisel, Bo (I think) and Arry. There was also an odd locomotive in the movie with a crane poking out who took delight in chasing the others for scrap… Not sure how Mr Awdry would take to that one….
Sam, Bachmann are making a daisy so maybe you could get that and do a daisy vs railcar video like spencer vs silver link & thomas vs the E2. Really enjoy these videos. All the best, Oliver
Great vid Sam would you be able to do a weathering video on a piece of rolling stock? Ive seen somthing that looked weathered in one of your other videos and it looked amazing
i think daisy might be a railcar1 built in bellfast, they are slightly taller and were only one car units with large bumpers, the one built was painted in malacay green for about 12 years.
If you think Den's face is rear-ended, then you haven't seen anything yet. In fact Den doesn't even hold a candle to the likes of the Double Fairley locomotive Mighty Mac. Or the Culdee Mountain Railway engines based off of the Snowdon Railway engines. Heck BoCo in the railway series books was even shown to have a face on either end.
Not to worry that u can't compare Daisy with an BR 101. Next year u can compare those engines, well once u get your hands on a Bachmann Daisy when it comes out in 2020
There was actually a King Arthur class locomotive in real life with three smoke stacks. The purpose for the three smokestacks was to be camouflaged from the dispersed smoke and steam to hide from world war two fighter jets. Also, Mavis and Toby were based off the 04's and the steam trams of the Wisbech and Upwell tramway. The 04's were painted black. Both engines in real life had side plates and cowcatchers. This made Toby and Mavis almost identical to the 04's and the steam trams of the Wisbech and Upwell Tramway.
Oliver in the books also had an autocoach called isabel that he kept when toad became douglas' breakvan. He also got another one but I cant remember the name of the second coach
As for those you didn't show I'm kind of surprised that you didn't show the Class 08 Diesel Shunter as that's the one class to have the most Characters based on it.
I’m pretty sure Merlin was based on a stealth engine that was used during WWII, as he thinks he’s invisible after he shoots the steam from his pistons, and the 3 weird funnels
I remember when you said that Rosie appeared to have a disease, but the dots are actually freckles and the pink is makeup. I don't know why in the world they made the character like that, but I don't really mind it.
The BR 04s did have cow catchers and sideplates, but only the ones that worked on the Wisbech & Upwell Tramway or Great Yarmouth Docks. This is because they were working in places where there were people in danger of getting swiped under the wheels, so they need the extra wheel coverage. As displayed on Toby, the J70s (which were replaced by the BR 04s) also had this feature if they worked in those areas.

The small yellow train at 14:44 is Steven.
He is indeed - very well done! :D

Favourite diesel is the Class 28 Metrovick. There's one in Thomas named 'Boco'. You think you can find one?
But engines in general is....
A Japanese engine, the JNR D51...
Ahh yes I know the one - and great choice on the Japanese one - I've just looked that up!

Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hey, just realized that this was uploaded on my 27th birthday. :D
Also I have some other ideas for real life Thomas characters (if you ever do another video):
-ICI Hopper Wagon = Hector
-Terrier = Stepney
-Class 07 Shunter = Salty
-GWR Diagram E39 TRI brake coach = Old Slow Coach
-J94 Saddle Tank = Wilbert and Sixteen
-LMS Coronation Class = Dutchess
-LMS Patriot = Big City Engine
-Bellerophon 0-6-0WT = Sonny
-Ruston = Dart
-Class 08 Shunter = Diesel/Paxton/Sidney/Splatter/Dodge
-City of Truro (as himself)
-J50 = Original Awdry Thomas Model
Ooh awesome!! And wow - I didn't know about al of those, that's awesome!! :O

Half of the characters in Thomas and friends in real life are from the train company called Britain railways
Quite a few of them are from British Railways, but most of them come from Grouping or even Pre-grouping eras! :D

The real difference isn't where the Hudson is from, but the fact that Connor is streamlined, and you bought a non-streamlined hudson
maybe time for an Australian loco
That would be fab - any suggestions? :D

Thomas-E2
Spencer-Silverlink
Gordon-Flying Scotsman
Henry-Black 5

There was actually a King Arthur class locomotive in real life with three smoke stacks. The purpose for the three smokestacks was to be camouflaged from the dispersed smoke and steam to hide from world war two fighter jets. Also, Mavis and Toby were based off the 04's and the steam trams of the Wisbech and Upwell tramway. The 04's were painted black. Both engines in real life had side plates and cowcatchers.

I’m pretty sure Merlin was based on a stealth engine that was used during WWII, as he thinks he’s invisible after he shoots the steam from his pistons, and the 3 weird funnels
Ahh interesting! Many thanks for letting me know about that! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)

I remember when you said that Rosie appeared to have a disease, but the dots are actually freckles and the pink is makeup. I don't know why in the world they made the character like that, but I don't really mind it.
haha yeah you're right - I was just kidding! ;D
