7:48 CNC Machinist here. For anyone wondering, CNC stands for Computer Numeric Control. Basically, if Sir Handel was made on a CNC machine, that means it was a block of metal that was cut/milled into the shape needed for the wheels/chassis on a computerized cutting machine. My guess is that the chassis was machined on a CNC mill, and the wheels turned on a CNC lathe. Probably a live tool capable lathe, given the spokes in the wheels.
@Icy yeah it's bec in the UK dub rusty is male but in the US dub rusty is female. I honestly prefer her as female bec there's almost no female narrow gauge engine in the show
Like Peter Sam, Sir Handel remained in his Mid-Sodor livery instead of being repainted in the Skarloey Railway's red livery in the TV series. As such, the episode where the trucks crash into Peter Sam makes less sense.
Then again from the height of the incline and the fact the downhill trucks could only see Peter Sam/"Sir Handel" from the front, I still think it makes some sense that they mistook Peter Sam for Sir Handel despite the color difference in the show.
@@Ray_D_Tutto they expected Sir Handel since it's implied he works at the incline and thus when he pretended to be ill Peter Sam was doing his job there.
Peter Sam would be a good idea....this weekend is a giant Kerr Stuart reunion on the talyllyn to celebrate peter sam's younger brother Edward Thomas....would be awesome for some more Kerr Stuart content
Great video as usual! Sir Handel really has a lot more to him in the RWS and its a shame that he wasn't in the TVS longer. I feel it also meant that Duncan from S6-S9 just got given all the stories Sir Handel would have gotten. Can't wait to see the SR number 4, my boy Peter Sam in the next one of these!
Great video. Of course, the name Sir Handel is a play on Haydn and Handel being composers, but of course the loco's name is welsh so pronounced hey-den and the composer's name is austrian so pronounced high-den. And the name Falcon was chosen because Sir Haydn was made at the Falcon works, like Edward Thomas was made by Kerr Stuart hence the name Stuart.
I’m fucking drunk while watching this and it’s taking me a long time to type this (what with autocorrect and all), but it’s calming. Keep ‘em coming boi. It’s a way for all of us train nerds to keep our childhood alive in these horrible times. Bless you boi, bless you for all your content 🙏❤️
I never noticed the face-swapping for him. I never saw that large-scale model, too. I always wondered where Sir Handel went. It was because he didn't have a model. Shame, that.
2:10 wait did you just say that Sir Handel was taken apart? Like physically taken apart piece by piece? How did they take him apart and how did they not kill him?
I don’t think they ACTUALLY took him apart piece by piece; but more maybe took a section off of his boiler and used him as an example of how the engines worked or something along those lines.
@@willemdakevin1681 The firebars are the grate that the fire sits on top of. The fact he dropped it (burning coal and all!), is quite impressive. In real life, 'Sir Haydn' was partially stripped in 1951, losing the cab, saddle tank & boiler lagging for an inspection. I imagine this is what they meant?
^^ He’s spot on! I wasn’t the most familiar with them myself before I did the research haha. I also would like to think it was that that inspired Sir Handel to be taken apart? However I wasn’t able to find a direct correlation myself. Given how Awdry wrote the other stories though it would make perfect sense!
Sir Handel wearing an eyepatch answered my question that always bothered me, if the faces have similar feelings to our faces. So it’s a nice bit of confirmation i took from this video.
I met one of the people who helped build Sir Handel’s closeup model, Gareth Hutchinson. He is the Computer Animation lecturer of my university, the University of Soyth Wales. He’s an amazing guy and an absolute legend. He even invited me into his office yesterday and showed me his portfolio. He also built the main narrow gauge Engine Sheds, the viaduct and even did an amazing illustration of Sir Handel. He’ll be leaving USW soon now.😢
interesting how the US narration differs so much, that last clip of Sir Handle saying "actually I'm better" is delivered in a much more condescending way in the Michael Angelis narration
I think i understand how the Battery Receiver is hidden off screen. Here is what i think: The models dont have enough room to fit the Reciever so when it is hiddden off screen, a plug is connected to the Battery, this lets the battery be unplugged or Plugged in. When it is unplugged, the Eye Mech wont work. This could be true since when they are moving by them selves, their eyes dont move at all, this is because the receiver is unplugged, however when they are not moving and dont have any Rolling Stock behind them, the reciever is plugged back into the mech and hidden behind the engine to prevent it from being seen.
TrainBoy thank you for doing the history and the model of Sir Handel, I've been waiting for this for almost a long time or a while since the Rheneas video. Basically Skarloey, Rheneas and Sir Handle are my favorite characters. Thank you for finally making a video about Sir Handel, I am very very happy
One small detail you overlooked for Sir Hayden was the fact that he wasn't even named on the Corris Railway, which never named its locomotives. This is not a distinction shared with his railway series counterpart.
TrainBoy for the next video, please talk about the history and the model of Peter Sam. I really want Peter Sam to be next on your TH-cam channel please ?
Therapist: Sir Rheneas isn't real, he can't hurt you.
Sir Rheneas:
sir Handel . The only character to get banished to the shadow realm
Dont forget toby
@@IDKstudious oh yeah
Much better.
@@Jacob_Josh the tunnel is not a shadow realm but close
Don't forget Boco, Murdoch, Arthur, Dennis, Molly, Neville, George, and Bulgy.

I hope to see Rusty soon. He's my personal favorite Narrow Gauge engine.
Rusty has one of my favourite themes in the narrow gauge railway
Isn't calling an engine rusty like naming a human tuberculosis?
I see that one engine with a gender unknown to the people that made the show.
Good engine
@Icy yeah it's bec in the UK dub rusty is male but in the US dub rusty is female. I honestly prefer her as female bec there's almost no female narrow gauge engine in the show

Or maybe the trucks can't see the colour green
The trucks are blue green colourblind
Then again from the height of the incline and the fact the downhill trucks could only see Peter Sam/"Sir Handel" from the front, I still think it makes some sense that they mistook Peter Sam for Sir Handel despite the color difference in the show.
@@DaimosZ Maybe they just expected Sir Handel to be there rather than confused Peter Sam for him.

Sir Handle
Being sent to the shadow realm since 2021
“I’m banishing you to the Shadow Realm!”
“NooooOOOOOoooOOO!!!”
“Much better!”
"I'm banishing you to the Shadow Realm!"
"NOPE!"
"Bother! Bother--"
"Better."
@@ciarandaragh8676 "Nice job, dipshit! Now who's gonna run the railway!?"
@@DesGardius-me7gf uh oh!!!! Gong!
Had four accidents and dipped for five seasons. Boss.
5:00 I don’t know why but I really like the colour scheme on that version of sir handel/falcon
10:10 I'm happy that Sir Handel and Peter Sam are together forever.♥
I'm so glad sir Handel has been fully preserved in model form.
It's nice to know that both his small and large scales models are in a good place
Great video as usual! Sir Handel really has a lot more to him in the RWS and its a shame that he wasn't in the TVS longer. I feel it also meant that Duncan from S6-S9 just got given all the stories Sir Handel would have gotten.
Can't wait to see the SR number 4, my boy Peter Sam in the next one of these!
Considering you’ve now done Skarloey, Rheneas, and Sir Handel in order, you should probably continue on up through the numbers to Peter Sam next.
Going over the back story and the small changes to the model in the tv show are great additions to this history of series.
I've always seen Sir Handel as a very underrated, or over hated, of the Skarloey Railway engines.
I'd like to see Peter Sam next
Ah yes, my second favorite Thomas character. If TheUnluckyTug did an analysis video I would flip. I love Sir Handel.
“I am banishing you to the shadow realm!”
_”Nooo….”_
“Much better!”
Nice
Stop
You forgot “Anth”
Oh on!!!!
Bother that didn’t work
He’s still better than George after a decade
I would have liked to have seen Sir Handel with an eyepatch and bandage in the TV series.
Great video. Of course, the name Sir Handel is a play on Haydn and Handel being composers, but of course the loco's name is welsh so pronounced hey-den and the composer's name is austrian so pronounced high-den.

Brilliant. I would like to see Peter Sam next
I'd like to see Peter Sam next! Let's do all Four of the Little Engines!
I never noticed the face-swapping for him.

@@ItsTrainBoy interesting, also what are fire bars? You said that Sir Handel shook them off so I'm assuming they were attached to him

@@ajaxengineco ah ok, I see now
Sir Handel. The only engine to out-Gordon, Gordon.
I literally thought that Sir Handel and Sir Haydn were named after composers
Really feels like a month of narrow gauge lately, hasn't it? Nice video as always!
Sir Handel wearing an eyepatch answered my question that always bothered me, if the faces have similar feelings to our faces. So it’s a nice bit of confirmation i took from this video.
WE NEED A REMAKE OF DUNCAN GETS SPOOKED, WITH SIR HANDEL IN IT 😮
Big week for the Narrow Guage Engines! 1st the UnluckyTugs Giant Skarloey history, Now Sir Handels Model History!
I met one of the people who helped build Sir Handel’s closeup model, Gareth Hutchinson. He is the Computer Animation lecturer of my university, the University of Soyth Wales. He’s an amazing guy and an absolute legend. He even invited me into his office yesterday and showed me his portfolio.
He also built the main narrow gauge Engine Sheds, the viaduct and even did an amazing illustration of Sir Handel.
He’ll be leaving USW soon now.😢
interesting how the US narration differs so much, that last clip of Sir Handle saying "actually I'm better" is delivered in a much more condescending way in the Michael Angelis narration
Same with the George Carlin narration
"But it was no use!-"
*Cuts to an ad just as Peter Sam fucking dies.*
Peter Sam next
Followed by Rusty
Followed by Duncan
After that I can’t say I care about the newer narrow gauge characters much
Love to see Dunkin next ! Out off all of the engines other than rusty as off course he's a fan favourite , Big Dunkin boy is my favourite
You mean duncan
I think i understand how the Battery Receiver is hidden off screen.
Here is what i think:
The models dont have enough room to fit the Reciever so when it is hiddden off screen, a plug is connected to the Battery, this lets the battery be unplugged or Plugged in. When it is unplugged, the Eye Mech wont work. This could be true since when they are moving by them selves, their eyes dont move at all, this is because the receiver is unplugged, however when they are not moving and dont have any Rolling Stock behind them, the reciever is plugged back into the mech and hidden behind the engine to prevent it from being seen.
Duncan would be cool to see he’s my favorite engine
i literally like it that you put TCF at the start
1:59 - 2:03 I wish the scene was edited this way in the original.
Sir Handel was my favourite narrow gauge engine
Sir Handel is personally my favorite Narrow Gauge Character
Smudger would be a neat short doco to do
TrainBoy thank you for doing the history and the model of Sir Handel, I've been waiting for this for almost a long time or a while since the Rheneas video.
Basically Skarloey, Rheneas and Sir Handle are my favorite characters.
Thank you for finally making a video about Sir Handel, I am very very happy
My fav narrow gauge character! On my birthday too! Nice
You are my favorite channel on TH-cam
Sir Handel 💙
I used to think Sir Handel was an ancestor of Thomas and Peter Sam of Percy.
Another day another TrainBoy video
I used to have a Take N Play Sir Handel
so he's basically the master shake of thomas and friends
2:34 YES LETS GO
You didn’t discuss Sir Handel’s Season 10 persona.
That doesn’t really affect his model lol, though it wouldn’t have hurt I suppose fair point
Banish him to the shadow realm!
NoOo
Botheeeeeer
Cool very good
"Fusspot, Fusspot, Fusspot!"
Fuddy-duddy! Fuddy-duddy! Fuddy-duddy!
Heres an interesting one, Smudger/Stanley next OR Bertram
I can’t wait to get bachmann sir handel when he out
The best TH-camr
great video
One small detail you overlooked for Sir Hayden was the fact that he wasn't even named on the Corris Railway, which never named its locomotives. This is not a distinction shared with his railway series counterpart.
Amazing
1:06 Is that yellow thing Duncan or another engine I never noticed?
He my favorite too And you can get yourself a casual playground for handle you will not regret it
Hope to see more videos
TrainBoy for the next video, please talk about the history and the model of Peter Sam.
I really want Peter Sam to be next on your TH-cam channel please ?
2:48 kids be like: RuN tHeM oVeR!!
How about we get a more easy one for you to do like Freddie or Mighty-Mac?
The one that was banished to the shadow realm
Sir Handel: Wait. What are you doing
ALRIGHT!!!!
Finally my favourite ng character
Please do Fearless Freddie or Mighty Mac next
Peter Sam next perhaps?
Who else? He is doing these narrow gauge engines, numerically, after all.
Can't wait to see if they did thomas.
Oh boy
Sir mandel
The eagle locomotive builders mandalorian class steam engine
Thank God you did not add the Banish Shadow realm Joke
I’m banishing you to the Shadow Realm
Nooooo!!!
Good Work.
Duncan would be cool to see as one of these videos
Sr handle was called falcon cause of his class name being a falcon class same with Peter Sam called Stewart being a karr Stewart class
I would like to say that the base for sir Handel base has recently turned 100 years old
Try doing Duncan next.
Can't wait for dunken
You should do Duncan hes moi favorite
Peter sam next!
I hope I come next!
"Im banishing you to the shadow realm"
Plus love the videos
I think Duncan would be a good character with his history especially his CGI model would be more interesting
But smudged just laughed .. hahahah , but I mean I know it would be short but how about smudged origins ?
Ah Yes Smudged The Mid-Sodor's Least Behaved
I want to see a vid about duncan
DUNCAN NEXT BOOOOOOOOIIIII
Do rusty next
How about Fearless Freddie?
