Uphill slow, downhill fast, tonnage first, safety last.

Moral of the story- you can always count on samson to royally screw something up.

[@karenfan010]

but it wasn’t his fault it was his incompetent crew.

[@CraneProductions27]

That was quite a story. But I wasn't expecting that shocking part at the end. The death of Samson, that was a complete shock 😲.

[@jamesthomas5109]

2:26 Neil and Samson, sounds good for a story.

[@garrettsmith2776]

I like that Gordon told the story and not Edward, a good change of pace.

[@kevint.5712]

Neil sat there like,
" Wonders for the Railway?
Riiiiight.........
Like I HAVEN'T laid the rails and helped build the infrastructure that you're currently sat on..." 😒

Okay, I actually like how this story was handled, for a halloween special. No ghost appearance, for one thing. Fan story writers seem to love including actual ghosts, which the show and stories never did as far as I can remember, but this narrative didn't include a false haunting alarm or even a ghost story! Just a dark tale of dubious authenticity. And that's the other part I appreciate. This almost feels like a myth or a fable told to explain how the Sodor & Midland floundered, and the shop worker just happened to have a perfectly alive engine in mind when he told it, possibly an engine he had previously repaired. Knowing the engine's true fate takes the edge of the story... and if you're not familiar with Samson, you'll remember Edward- and Gordon's skepticism at once.
Although, you're not the first person to say the Sodor and Midland had a fourth engine whose boiler exploded, or even the first to suggest that the crater would become significant. One broa island depicted a S&M #4 suffering a boiler explosion in an original scene at the beginning of his adaptation of Doctor's Orders, a buried truck story, and implied that the crater became the ditch that Gordon fell into. Did you get the idea from him? Did both of you get the idea from someone or somewhere else? The plot thickens.
Samson just feels like a perfect fit for S&M lore, by the way, both because his name bears a resemblance to "S&MS&M", and because he just feels like an "I'm you, but better" counterpart to Neil & Bros.

[@EnticinglyDeadly]

It really fits Samson as a character. Nice story.

[@StationPilot]

Great story! And Great visuals! Plus a nice dark tale given the current time of year, absolutely loved it!

[@karenfan010]

I was kinda expecting samsons ghost to appear at the end.

[@reedbradwahnnatahvera3883]

wow. this is interesting. a model and cgi story. with classic style

[@teaoftraffic]

i think this is the fandom’s payback for how unlikable and annoying samson was in the cgi series.

[@thefatcontrollershat]

He's actually my favourite CGI character. He's quite unique because unlike most other vain and boastful engines, it really is all in his head.
It's good to see him incorporated into a classic series styled story.

@thefatc WHAT THE FU-

[@thefatcontrollershat]

@@wyattm6782 I mean it! I just find him hilarious

[@Baltic115]

Sam must follow the motto of the ES&D

[@hudsontrainguy1217]

I wish Samson was a character for a flashback story in a Brenner Era episode instead of a character who is a pompous bastard, besides, this story was really good

[@connorflaherty175]

Makes me think of the infamous boiler explosion of the best friend of Charleston.

[@MSwolfdog158]

Intresting of HIT entertainment Version of Television series style.

[@stuartbarclay7940]

Crikey... This was really dark...
Great work by the way!👍

[@eliotreader8220]

I feel story for Samson he might have stuck up but his driver shouldn't have miss treated the safety valves

[@wyattm6782]

I feel like Samson was a young engine in this story.

[@user-ig4qh4dj5z]

samson is died⁉︎

[@DLR1997]

Yes

[@kaldesyzdi595]

You mean Samson died? omg RIP

[@DavidScholz-bu1ix]

UGH, TYPICAL SAMSON!!!!!!!!

[@trevortyrrell175]

Great job.

Sounds like we have a mystery on our hands.

[@Jayhsia1215]

Nice one

[@onetrackmind3558]

Samsons is a brennervera character not a nitrogen era character
