- Sir Handel has always preferred coaches with bogies. But the tale of an engine who shared his view point will set the SKR #3 straight. They might just be coaches, but even something so simple can come back for revenge.
Thank you to all the voice actors who helped to make this video a possibility.
SUPER big thanks to Gencyfan23, who's artwork helped bring this story to life even more. Check out their Twitter here: Th...
Once there was engine attached to a midnight train,
Who had disdain of coaches in his train.
It went into a tunnel, and squeaked with its funnel,
*And was never seen again.*
👌👌👌👌👌 noice 👌👌👌👌👌
Afton The Lost Engine Theme
*The engine's name was Afton.*
*_After Afton had left Sir Handel behind that night, he looked back at the single coach that rattled in tow._*
"I wonder. Do you think he learned his lesson?", he asked the old coach.
*_But it offered no reply, except for the creaking and cracking it made as he sped down the line._*
"Well, who knows?", continued Afton. "He's lucky, though. I know my penance will never end."
*_As he rumbled down the line, he could see he was approaching Henry's Tunnel. Sitting in a siding was Thomas and Edward, both of whom were surprised to see an engine running at this time of night. Though they could not see that it was Afton, they knew that just by the sound of his whistle it was a sight they thought they'd never see again. And as he passed them by, a faint smile formed on his face._*
"So then, ol' wandering coach. Where shall we go next?", he asked.
*_And with a final few blows of his whistle, he and his coach rushed into Henry's Tunnel, vanishing into the darkness. Never to come out the other side._*
*_Thomas and Edward both looked at each other and wondered if that really was Afton that they just saw going by. In the end, however, they decided not to speak up about it, pretending that they didn't see or hear anything._*
*_But I think they knew the truth of what saw. Don't you?_*
Love the use of that Derail Valley steam engine whistle in this story.
Me too.
WAIT DERAIL VALLEY!?
Afton "I AM A PROPER ENGINE!! BETTER THAN TINY THOMAS, OR OLD IRON EDWARD!!"
Me "That's debatable."
When Afton said there was a branchline coach at the front of the Midnight Express instantly I knew it was the ghost of the coach he murdered enacting her revenge
Sorry to spoil the ending, but I think I know what happened to Afton: the mysterious vintage coach was the ghost of the coach that Afton destroyed, and she came to exact revenge on the engine who killed her.
I have a theory that the Ghost coach is secretly tormenting and torturing Afton whilst he is not in sight, (which could mean this has been going on for roughly 3 decades. Yikes.) because as Afton said: Coaches could punish an engine with a far more harsher method than simply death. Considering he said that, and the coach is attached to him no matter what, I can only presume this is true. I also think that Afton spirit wanders around the night to warn engines about the consequences of mistreatment of coaches so they don’t end up like him. (And since the coach has absolutely NO dialogue in this story, which takes place at night, we can only presume that her soul is asleep.
(This is silly and retarded, I know, but it’s just a theory...)
(A GAME THE- *Gets shot.*)
@@scramtheman2249 No-no-no, I think you're onto something here. Afton only left when the coach groaned behind him. She might be tormenting him by keeping him from resting for too long.
Oh my gosh, that is a very mysterious story indeed. One of the former trial engines destroying a four wheeled coach and then while taking a midnight express (with the ghost coach between him and the other express coaches) and then vanished in the tunnel. That sounded creepy.
It's surprising how Sir Handel encountered their spirits when Afton told him the entire story of his errors which kinda reminded me of the Jessie episode 'The Whining' where a hotel employee told the Ross family a ghost story and at the end, he went back into the shadows of his own story.
Two grumpy engines
One yellow
One blue
Two grumpy engines
Soon both will have a different view
Indeed
Oh boy, dude, you're a poet
Spoken like Shakespeare
Shakespeare has been real quiet since this dropped
Duncan and Gordon XD
Of all, the takes on the red engine, Afton is undoubtedly my favourite. Smart work mate; Halloween audio specials in this fandom are always a treat. Can’t wait for the next one.
Whoa... now that was spine chilling. Even more spine chilling to know that that one coach Afton destroyed had gotten her revenge. Also, that whistle used for Afton was so deep and echoey that it gives me goose bumps!
This was such an amazing ghost story. It's not often we see a tale of a haunted coach, so this was a nice refreshing story to listen to. I hope my own ghost story will be as good as this.
I'm sure it will :)
Afton sounds like what James could have been. Considering he found his mysterious end in a tunnel... I think I know what happened to him.
Considering the fact that the busted coach is still tied to him I have a theory that maybe she still has a voice... albeit one from beyond the grave.
At least James didn’t stop on the viaduct and that he’s learned sense about treating coaches despite his ego.
@@richieosborn2639 Besides, even JAMES wouldn't do something THAT stupid...
As with Arry learns the truth, you excelled with this story. The fate of Afton and the coach sound like a twilight zone episode. Also kudos to you for introducing me to Afton's class, they're gorgeous. It no doubt scared Sir Handel straight. I can't wait for the other stories to premiere and I hope they're adapted.
Aww shucks! You flatter me. Afton's class is a REALLY beautiful engine and I'm glad I helped introduce you to them
I hope to see some adaptations too! Someday.
@@22Tesla Afton is an LNER O4 2-8-0 right?
@@abufauzan4003 No, it’s only in Trainz that’s why, He is an LNWR Claughton Express 4-6-0, although that model is in Trainz no one used it, they only used the actual Claughton in small scenes
@@22Tesla Sorry if this sounds stupid, but how many Engines were on loan, what Classes were they, and what happened to them???
@@haydennorris3672 Its okay to ask. Well in my canon (currently) there was Alfred (LNER B12), Cecil (LNER B4), Afton (LNWR Claughton), and Eagle (L&Y Mogul Experiment). Alfred and Cecil are presumed scrapped or lost during the war. Afton just vanished. Eagle now works at a workshop somewhere and is still around
this story, i never noticed an engine and 1 coach can be turned into ghost, at least it can be a lesson for some of the engines and coaches. anyway, marvelous job on making this story along with the cast.
Afton is cursed to roam the rails with the coach for eternity
Now that was a creepy story. I guess that what happens if you mistreat someone, karma comes back to bite you in the back.
First duncan then sir handel.
Who on the SKR will be scared by a ghost next?
Sir handel can be grumpy/mad like duncan is,so I guess it makes a little sense to have a ghost story about him
Heheh who knows? Maybe I'll create something for another SKR engine next year
@@22Tesla can’t wait for that!
@@22Tesla saw the video while at school on my chromebook.
I love it!
The story was amazing!
Can I adapt this story?
@@lightupproductions1948 Heheheh I'm glad to hear! and sure you can so long as you give credit
That whistle is from derail Valley from the mikado
Yup! You got it
Blimey you work fast
Guess this completes the set on what happened to the older engines.
1. Tale of the Bad Engine (98462)
2. Company for Boco (87546)
3. The Wandering Coach (Afton the Red Engine)
Thinking of using some of your stories in one of my own works. Permission to do so? (I'll give you credit of course)
I'll always think of this character whenever I hear the SH282's whistle from any Derail Valley video now.
Afton is based on a LNWR Claughton 4 cylinder 4-6-0 ten wheeler built for express runs for the LNWR but sadly none of these engines survive to this day.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNWR_Claughton_Class
Not really surprising considering that it said that the Claughton class was a mediocre performer on the track. What's point in keeping or preserving a steam engine if it's nothing really special?
Yet there's still one running as technically he's not a ghost as he hasn't died... or did he?
@@Gamerguy826 that's funny concittering aftons attitude and self importance.
@@blueeyedsaiyan1132 Ironic, isn't it?
When I finished listening to the video when it got premiered I wonder what does Afton facial features are like: I’m curious 🤨
Well I quite like the story that you made oh and by the way I was thinking if you could make the same story except I would like to have the female engines to take the roles of the sodor engines and I made an oc of my own named andy he was rude until after his coach incident he reformed and he became a more friendlier engine so would you like to do the story I suggested please
I think Afton was basically cursed to pull the coach for eternity as an undead locomotive.
Hell hath no fury like a coach scorned, and be careful what you wish for.
Very good writing indeed, my favorite part was when the old coach creaked at him at the end of the story, as if to say, "Get along, you. An eternity I am owed, an eternity I will get."
I remember that of the video of timothy the silver engine.
what ChatGPT thinks of this:
The Wandering Coach by 22tesla:
The reader, captivated by the story of the alleged coach and the mysterious engine, couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The events described seemed so surreal and unsettling. As the story progressed, they became more intrigued, eagerly awaiting the revelation of the truth behind the coach's alleged revenge.
When Sir Handel, the smaller engine, expressed disbelief in the story, the reader found themselves caught between the character's skepticism and the Storyteller's conviction. The tension between the two escalated, making the atmosphere even more suspenseful.
Then, the storyteller introduced himself as Afton, the same name mentioned in the story. This revelation sent a shiver down the reader's spine, as they realized the storyteller was directly involved in the events being recounted. It added a chilling layer to the tale, making the reader question the nature of the storyteller's intentions.
As Afton spoke about the coach's ability to seek retribution and the concept of death not providing protection, the reader's imagination ran wild with possibilities. The notion that even the humblest of objects could harbor dark intentions left them with a lingering sense of unease.
When the coach, Afton, suddenly creaked and announced its departure, the reader couldn't help but feel a mixture of relief and anticipation. The eerie presence of the coach had been felt throughout the story, and its departure brought a temporary respite from the unsettling atmosphere.
Sir Handel's encounter with Gordon, the other engine, added another layer of intrigue to the story. Gordon's recognition of the name Afton and his revelation that the engine hadn't been seen on Sodor in over 50 years left the reader perplexed. How could Sir Handel have seen an engine who had been absent for so long? The mystery deepened, and the reader's curiosity intensified.
As the story concluded, the reader found themselves contemplating the possibility that the events Sir Handel experienced were nothing more than illusions or figments of his imagination. The realization that the story might not have been real left them pondering the nature of perception and the power of storytelling.
Overall, "The Wandering Coach" by 22tesla successfully captivated the reader's attention with its eerie atmosphere, mysterious characters, and unresolved enigma. It left them with a lingering sense of wonder and a desire to explore the hidden depths of the story further.
Now this was an amazing story I get that feeling Afton is the red engine seen in Edwards day out if so then that made the story even more. Keep up the good work man.
It is indeed supposed to be that very engine.
I’d almost like to imagine the moment Afton went through the tunnel, or was about to… some strange green/blue energy began to surround the tunnel, and grabbed him as he went through… and with some flashes of light, and his screams… Poof, he vanishes with the coach. We don’t get to see what happened exactly but that’s what I’m imagining… it’s also possible the coach ripped afton’s soul out of his body.
That's a pretty good theory. Could be exactly what happened when Afton vanished from this plain of existence.
So she came back as a vengeful spirit and killed him while he was pulling the express train. That’s very a dark and great theory.
@@22Tesla *(shivers)* Brutal...
great story as always! it was fun to be at the premiere!
I'm curious, have you thought of writing a piece about Aftons' curse being lifted? He doesn't live through it, but he and the coach are finally free after 30+ years of endless pain.
Amazing work
This is amazing,Afton's whistle sounds really good
Only derail valley players recognize aftons whistle
Once an engine attached to a Midnight Train. Thought that couches were abit of a pain . It whistled into a tunnel. With a howling wind bustling through it's funnel.
Only to have it's sprit to tell the tale again.
May I can use this engine's name "Afton"
Because why not?
And question is this Afton name from FNAF?
Tis jsut a name, so sure. And it was partly inspired by Afton of FNAF fame, yes
in my take on this
Alfred or 98528
98462 and 87546 or Mick
are on sodor
but the board of directors get 7 more engines
61774
LNER k2
6600
LNER B4
98248 or floyd
LNER B12
761 or Ruby
LNER B13
Afton
5233
LNWR Clotton
2548 or Frank
LNER A4
and 837
or Jack
GCR B7
and Alled greedy was already
on sodor
with 98462 and 87546
before the Loaned engines came
and Gordon was painted NWR Blue
with the same tender which was his LNER tender
and was now in NWR blue
and 98248
jack
6600
and 2548 or frank were sent away
well the B12 is really LNER no. 8527
like 8572 just 27 instead of 72
This by far is my favorite Thomas related ghost story, it's not cleche like Timothy's story but it's still a great story, it's absolutely bone chilling.
A very entertaining story. And hats off to the artist as well!
Amazing story!
And just to clarify, is Afton your version of the Red Engine from Sad Story of Henry?
I think it might be the other red engine.
@@JustCallMeHeavy it's the other red engine in the shed illustrations
I'm considering adapting this in BTWF but before I do, might I ask if this audio is free to use?
Sure, so long as you credit the audio source.
@@22TeslaThis story definitely has become quite popular throughout 2022 from all the horror stories you've made.
"The engine is gone into the night. Gone. With out a trace" Is perfectly, well and truly spoken in a perfect tone. And the rest of the comintrey is done very well top job
22tesla can you make a sequel to the wandering coach.
The workman coupling Afton to the old and dirty single-axeled coach to the midnight express: 🙂
This was a great story dude. Enjoyed it a lot. You did great.
Sir Handel*
Why does this story kinda sound like a Thomas the tank engine version of UCN and the vengeful spirit tormenting Afton for all eternity.
Afton, the Flying Dutchman of Sodor.
That is so true! Hmmmm.... Oh gosh that just gave me an idea, instead of the train Afton was pulling being called the Midnight Express, I should have named it the Flying Sudrian. XD
3:11 coaches!
How exactly did the coach make Afton vanish?
The coach came back as a vengeful spirit, blended in with the regular coaches so she'd be right behind Afton, then when the time was right, she slipped the coupling to let the regular coaches go. After all, the passengers weren't the ones she was after.
When Afton went through the tunnel, the driver and fireman were spirited away to the station bench and put to sleep, she wasn't after them either.
What happened next is open to speculation, but Afton eventually became a spirit himself, and the old coach refuses to let him go. He complained that she held him back, well now she'll never let him stop running the midnight train.
When she creaked at him at the end of the story, it was a warning, "Get on, you, or else."
love this!
My FNAF fan alarms blared when I heard the name Afton
Saaame bro
You what’s crazy my own Thomas oc is myself as the same engine as Afton except I’m black while my side plates are red my oc is a nice and helpful character
I just heard the whistle from Derail Valley 6:06
The Fat Controller should've done more than threaten to send Afton away he murdered a coach
He was just a director back then. One of many men who oversaw the railway before he ascended to the title of controller. He had little say before then
@@22Tesla that's not what I meant I mean he could've thought of something better to say then "If you were our engine I would have you sent away"
@@JohntheLNERP2 it cost more to lose a Express engine and tried to replace him with another cheap Express engine then to scrap a coach and replace it with a different more modern one the fat controller really doesn't care about Rolling Stock when engine has an accident and the trucks are responsible he didn't refer to the trucks
@@LMS5935 I'm finding it a little hard to understand what you're actually saying because of the autocorrect
Rolling Stock isn't important if something were to happen to a truck or coach it doesn't affect the railway little to nothing half of the Rolling Stock on the island of Sodor aren't even alive why should the directors care that much besides putting him in the shed for a couple of weeks
Hold Shit James Yo See You Ghost Engine Forest Monster Right Now
I'm not sure you'll do it but, would you like to narrate in video coming up???
Rest in piece Afton
I know the year afton disappeared he disappeared in 1920 the story of sir handel happens in 1952
Holy moly this sent chills down my spine
Can someone tell me what Afton personality was? I still don't know till this day.
This was indeed a spooky tale. An engine learning the hard way about what happens when you mistreat someone (be it a coach or a person). I hope someday, the old coach will forgive Afton and find peace.
We can hope. But that might still be a long way off.
@@22Tesla Yes indeed.
@@22TeslaWell, if I was a ghost therapist, I would explain to the coach on how holding a grudge on Afton is unhealthy.

Kudos!
With a name like Afton you'd expect him to be purple or a dull gold. :3
In real life Afton would have had a Crimson Livery, so he would have had a purple-ish tint.
@@unconventionalideas5683 A rich purple Livery would honestly be better for Afton than a Crimson one...
Wow what a spectacular story I love the TV series and The Railway Series mix
Afton is written really well! What initially comes off as a prideful attitude, in spite of how dire and humbling his story is, rather seems to come from certainty, and the simple bluntness of someone who's too tired to deal with anyone else's foolishness.
Thanks! I'm glad you think I wrote him well, that's exactly why I wrote him that way to seem so much deeper than he first comes off as
This was pretty fun to watch. Good job on this :D

Can you release afton’s whistle as a sound effect? It sounds really cool.

@@22Tesla honestly it would be useful for any engine even if it's meant for a ghost train. Great work.
@@22Tesla Which Engines were Afton's Crew assigned to while he was locked up in the Shed??
At least the coach didn’t want to harm anyone but Afton. Also am I the only one that has questioned why we only saw those coaches in season one.
the wandering coach is more like a horror express and a evil ghost spirt.
Not gonna lie, THIS and Arry Learns The Truth are my favourite stories that you have done for this series.

I always come back
The coach is back from death to revenge afton for what he did to her
This is the stuff i love watching
Loved this awesome video
Poor Afton. BTW, is Afton named after William "Afton" from Five Nights At Freddy's?
Poor? He murdered a poor coach in cold blood.
HEhehe kinda, I was looking for names and one that came up in a name generator was Afton. The FNAF connection just made the name all the more perfect so Afton it was.
What whistle did you use for afton?
The Derail Valley steam engine whistle. I think I mention the user I got it from in the credits
Fantastic story and well done to those who took this part in this fantastic story.
This was a great story.
Just curious, was the name Afton intentional? As in after the FNAF character, William Afton?
It wasn't initially intentional but it kind of became intentional afterwards. I chose the name because it sounded high-class upper Posh enough for this dignified Express engine / villain of our story and of course the name Afton with the relation to William Afton of FNAF just sounded perfect
Could what happened to Afton mean...? Is he now..., some kind of Ghost?!
Trapped between living and dead I assume. No rest at all for him. That coach makes sure of that.
@@22Tesla how can Afton be trapped between living and dead?
@@blazingswordsman5410 Since he didn't die, meaning his spirit never left his body, he's living in the world of the dead, yet he doesn't need things like sleep, coal, water to keep moving as he's forced to endlessly travel up and down the mainline. The only rest he gets is when the coach lets him stop to tell his cautionary tale to another engine who doesn't treat coaches with any respect based on their design.
