  • It's no secret that pretty much every engine in the Rev Awdry's Railway Series was based on a real-life vehicle, but which ones still exist today? Which ones were scrapped? Time to find out!

    I accidentally put Pug's status as survived, despite saying in the voice over that he was scrapped. My voice is the right version, not what you see on screen, lol.

    If thomas came out around the same time the E2s were build, i think ppl wouldve preserved them, since the thomas series unironically helped some engines get preserved.

      I mean, the first Thomas book was published 20 years before all the E2's were withdrawn and scrapped. And there's the question of what it would even do in preservation since there's plenty of other locomotives that do everything the E2 can offer and more

    "Frank" is based on "Perkins" I think Rev Awdry had a fun bit of word play here, Frank Perkins was a manufacturer of diesel engines.

    • @RJSRdg
      @RJSRdg 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Yes, Awdry worked in a few puns like that - Sir Handel is based on Sir Haydn on the Talyllyn Railway, Handel and Haydn both being composers.
      Similarly Stanley being a Baldwin is a joke about Stanley Baldwin, who was British Prime Minister before WW2. (Incidentally, Stanley is not named in the book in which he appears and is only named in "The Island of Sodor: Its People History and Railways" and on Awdry's "Mid Sodor" layout).

    Fundamentally enough the whole Jinty and Pug thing makes this interesting
    Cause in my headcanon at some point Jinty would be bought as the 100th Knapford station pilot (cause how many engines have started from knapford shunter to running a branch line??), because Percy knew him and Pug, that’s why TFC bought Jinty since he had some experience on Sodor by now…however it was too late for Pug…Leading Jinty down a depression for many years as he wished Pug could’ve been saved

    4:05 Famous rip godred in the stories an real life, isabel was supposed to be in the model series as Oliver's coach but then they removed her so they decided to keep toad
    6:03 fun fact neil is scrapped in real life and the railway series stories as being over 150 years old he met skarloey but then died after meeting him so skarloey is the oldest surviving engine.

    Interesting video - just a couple of comments:
    1) It would have been helpful to have arranged the locos in the order they appear in the books, and to have put up a caption saying which book they were in - there were several at the beginning I didn't recognise.
    2) The music really doesn't add anything to the video.

    • @giantfightingroboto

    • @cactusparty258
      @cactusparty258 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      What? I completely disagree with your second point. Music and soundtracks give more life to the video. It also drowns out some unwanted background noise that may be present when doing a voice over. Yeah they don’t add anything in terms of facts and information (like this almost every other video on the internet) but it’s nice to listen to and could potentially keep viewers engaged. Sorry for the little tangent there 😅. That particular statement was a little strange to me imo. But I actually agree with your first statement of arranging the characters in order of appearances.
