For anyone wondering, the NWR engine pulling the passenger train in the 'Two Days Later' shot is Bear.
EDIT:
Goose is not Peter. Had he been running on Sodor in the 1960s, the NWR engines would have seen him - which they didn't.
Amazing work
Is it me or harris mentioning a munition disaster in a big city in the united states, and tugboats in the 20s is a reference to tugs, is it or not?
is bear "goose?" it's my best guess and I have a feeling it might be right.
@@Arturobrito0502 It is, yes.
@@WildNorWester oh ok, pfft no wonder it sounded familar
I love Peter Sam's thought process: "Hmm... Who's Goose? Well, geese are loud, honking, and annoying, so it must be James." haha
I love that Peter Sam here's the code name Goose and goes "Yep that's James"
I think it could have been Winston, his other name is Eagle. But we don’t know what year he exactly died in Iron Hero.
@@TheScramblingEagle I’m pretty sure Winston (and his real life crew in the story) died during WWII
@@GTT1993 oh ya! I forgot!
@@GTT1993 Winston and his driver died during WW2. In real life, the fireman jumped back onto the engine and stayed, ended up being killed by the explosion and the driver survived. In WNW's story, the fireman got onto the platform.
@@TheScramblingEagle Around 1944 then, because that's when the Soham Rail Accident happened.
A fantastic second instalment. I especially loved the Tugs reference. Great job!
Thanks :)
Hey Victor, If you have the idea of Allowing Adeline to appear in Season 5 of The Stories of Sodor, Then Will you ask WildNorWester if you can have the model and have her be an actual ghost engine who The Engines can see? And maybe have one of your episodes be based off of Ghost Train and Duncan Gets Spooked, and Have Adeline be The Ghost Engine in Percy's story that he tells to Thomas and Toby.
@@billyjudd3326 I would rather have Munitions from Tugs adapted first, but your suggestion is really great nonetheless
Victor
Maybe in the 5th season when there is a episode with snow in it
You can have skarloey get buried under an avalanche then have him say in a muffled voice “oh bother”
“Percy, oh, Percy, you are goose, aren’t you?”
I love the TUGs reference in this episode. And while I admit I will miss Peter in black, he actually looks great in blue as well.
Another brilliant episode Dan, Harris was an interesting character, great reference to the TUGS episode and to James Bond, it was also surprising about Fred and Harris knowing each other before coming to the SKR and I'm looking forward to next week's episode.
Well, Harris knew Fred - but Fred didn't know him.
@@WildNorWester Thanks and keep up the great work.
@Oscar Guerrero Nope. What I was getting at was that Harris was at the quarry until 1993, when MOD operations shut down. So he'd have seen Fred at the quarry - but Fred wouldn't have seen him.
Great Work 👏 as usual.........
It would be interesting to have more Ex Tugs episodes...... like a continuous from when Tencence, met up with Hercules, at noramby historical society.
It would be interesting to hear it from their side of the story.......
I'll admit when corporal Harris was mentioned in episode 1 I thought he was colonel westbrook's second in command
It'll be Edward, work with the MOD is just the kind of thing he'd be involved in..
this episode was amazing, since most of us met some new engines that we haven't seen before, and had more details on the mystery disappearance and accident of Adeline. i'll be looking forward on seeing some more episodes on each Friday, for those who took part of this episode alongside WildNorWester, you all did a great job on helping him for the voice lines.
Oh, Adeline... if she really is calling for help, that's so sad no one's bothered to help her.
What... Harris is an engine?! Can't say I saw this coming. Good twist, Dan. A+
And now the secret is out: Rusty's ghost story is rooted in fact to a degree.
Raven - Harris because he was painted black, Swan - Adeline, I think that's because of her elegance, if I had to guess. And Goose... hmm, this is a mystery alright. If it's not James... huh...
@Timothy Rodriguez I had a similar train of thought.
Adeline is a ghost, She can teleport here there and everywhere, Even off the tracks, and She can even cause an unseen explosion to happen.
@@billyjudd3326 WildNorWester isn't one for getting into the really deep end of the supernatural stuff, so I doubt that's the reasoning he's going to use.
@@numberjacksoctonauts7138 Well that would be great. Because if Adeline really is a ghost then the SKR Engines are the only ones who can see her but the others (Including Atlas and his crew) can't.
@@billyjudd3326 Technically Atlas is an SKR engine, he's the number 10.
An amazing episode! Through speculation, is “Goose” Percy? Iirc, the mines near Toryreck used to have uranium, and Percy would deliver stone trains to Barrow, where uranium is often used to make nuclear submarines there. Plus, he’s the only engine in the RWS to tell a ghost story
Now that you mentioned it, Percy was the engine that told Peter Sam and Rusty to use a ghost story to scare Duncan. I think you might be on to something.
But what does that have to do with "Goose?"
@@caboose.20 maybe “Goose” is just a name. Perhaps it has no actual connection to Percy himself. He might just’ve been assigned that name. Who knows?
Do you think goose was eagle?
@@djdrago9712 You mean Winston? No. Winston was killed during WW2; the MoD bought the slate quarry in the 60s, the timeline doesn't add up.
I loved the TUGS reference earlier! Well done WildnorWester! Amazing work!
This is simply brilliant! I’m loving all the references so far, especially TUGS, the plot is thickening and my excitement is growing, can’t wait to see what’s next! But I can say for certain, this “goose” is a mystery that is for WNW to know, and for us to find out. There’s a few good guesses in here but most aren’t quite right.
Although Peter Sam thinking goose was James cracked me up 😂
A+ looking forward to the next one
5:00 - Knowing a bit about british history, I imagine those nuclear flasks would have been sent to the Sellafield facility. It’s a former nuclear power generating site in Cumbria (Not too far away from Barrow). It was originally called Windscale, but after a fire in 1957, the site was decommissioned and it is now used for nuclear fuel reprocessing, nuclear waste storage and nuclear decommissioning.
i like the fact you sent Fred up to the mine, since his design/real life basis was a mine engine, with several parts fitted to prevent sparks at all! this makes him and Harris the most logical to have up there :3
The reference to the Tugs' episode, both in terms of the title and the conversation, is a nice touch.
I have a feeling the codename "Goose" blonged to one of the branch line engines.
Maybe thomas
I think its Duck. The bird connection is too evident to not take into consideration
@@thegoodmudkip3652 I agree.
@@nossta5242 HOLY SHIT I JUST REALIZED
DUCK DUCK GOOSE
during the video when harrish explained about an incident that happen many years ago, i can already know that it was a reference to one of the Tugs Episode of Munitions when Bluenose Accidentally on purpose hit one of the munition barges and set it on fire. to be honest, it was a nice reference to the Tugs series. regardless, congrats on reaching 18k subscribers.
you are a railway series maestro, the way this story flowed with the new characters, the Easter eggs and the James Bond theme, i am in shock and awe
My theory is that Adeline is still alive and trapped under the old iron bridge. The reason she only talked to the engines who had broken down was because she heard their voices and wanted to see if someone was there. The person who told the radio was one of Adeline's old crew members.
Funny, that's my theory too.
@@agentandrews5737 Uhh Adam, I think You and tencents6 are forgetting something, it is said that Adeline died before she came to the SKR, So now she's become a Friendly Ghost, And the SKR Engines are the only ones who can see her (Except for Atlas and his Crew).
@@billyjudd3326 She was already part of the SKR, otherwise she wouldn't be working with them when she had the accident, nor have the number 7, which she did. The engines may think she died, but surely, every time she calls out, there would have been the sound of an explosion and her ghost on the bridge.
@@agentandrews5737 But if Adeline is a Ghost when she first arrived on the SKR, Then she can't die again, Because Ghost's can't be killed. And why is she (Her ghost) haunting The Old Iron Bridge? She was so friendly towards the SKR Engines as a Ghost (Like Casper the friendly ghost) when she first came to the SKR. She
@@billyjudd3326 She wasn't a ghost when she first came to the SKR.
Based on characters who can keep a secret, I'd say Goose has to either be Edward or Duck. We did see Edward in the shot of Sir Handel talking to Henry, so he may have overheard them talking. Duck would also be a possible idea, considering his name. Adeline was code named swan, but most swans I've seen aren't bright red, so it can't be based on livery unless adeline had a white/gray one before.
Another possibility could be Donald, though i only have his connection to Dilly as a weak link. My best Guess is still Edward or Duck, as the two of them seem the most likely to be able to keep a secret. Edward more than Duck, as his age and experience would make him quite responsible.
Edit:
Also using the 007 clue, it could be toby. It can't be one of the mainline engines, as we know none of them knew the codename. It has to be a locomotive from a branchline or a works engine of sorts. The MOD would likely have either shipped their materials overland or from a port. Toby, Thomas, Percy, Oliver and Sheffield all have too low water capacity to be able to make it from the west of sodor to the SKR without stopping for water. You'd need to get those shipments delivered as soon as possible, and constant water stops would hinder that. I think Duck could just barely manage, but it would be a stretch. Donald and Douglas are known to travel wherever needed on the island, eg: the little western, Edward's branch line, or the mainline when needed, but as they are usually found on the west of Sodor I'm hesitant to choose them.
Edward and Boco are my strongest guesses, as they are based closer than most any other of the main engines to the skr, seeing as Edward's branchline is located mid west on sodor rather than just west. Boco might work considering he would have minimal chance of giving off sparks, and would be quieter.
But if we also consider the Events of Edward's Exploit, the MOD could have approached the old engine at the works to deliver supplies. Seeing as his branchline ends at a major port, he is located mostly in mid-western sodor, and his experience and larger travel range, i think Edward was Goose.
Edit 2: after doing some further research, I've noticed a few things:
-the skr sold the quarry to the MOD in 1960. Boco didn't arrive until 1965, so he's out.
-Edward had his exploit later that year, and would have been at the works for a while around that time.
-Duke was discovered in 1969, and Adeline had her accident a few months before that.
-After his encounter with Diesel, Duck worked on the mainline till 1967 when he got his branchline. Now unless Duck continued to deliver these trains after he got his branchline, that leaves 2 years of deliveries for the MOD unaccounted for until Adeline's accident. This leaves only 3 engines: Edward, Donald and Douglas. Douglas is actually a strong candidate.
Remember when Douglas went to the other railway with the night Goods? Thats when he found Oliver. What if his night goods trains were MOD trains?
Therefore, only engines on the nwr between 1960 and 1969 could have worked for the MOD. They also must have decent water and fuel capacity. They can't be a normal mainline engine, atleast not in the modern day roster. I'm convinced it's either Donald, Douglas, or Edward.
I think the Duck will be the Goose.
In addition, when the Scots get cross, their booming whistles and fierce tounge does reflect the behavior of a goose.
AND I feel that Iris is also out as well. We need an engine who is freely able to bring munitions in and out of the island starting in the early 1960's. Iris was built in 1965, and would have been kept so busy that she most likely wouldn't have the time to make deliveries to sodor unless she worked near barrow. Iris may know the engine who collected the munitions however.
@@doktorzombie6147 same
I didn’t think about When Douglas took that goods train when he found Oliver nicely done
The plot thickens! It was really interesting to see the MOD's electric shunter in the flesh, and I loved how you dropped in a reference to the TUGS episode "Munitions". Now I'm really curious as to who this "Goose" engine might be. Can't wait to see what happens next!
Props to you WNW, you’ve got us scratching our heads trying to figure out who “Goose” is. I know I personally enjoy a good thought provoking cliffhanger/question like what you’ve left us with here. Gets the mind outta idle and into gear, and that’s always a treat.
Loved the Munitions reference! I get so excited anytime a new STMY comes out!
Dang, saw the "Peter is not goose" comment. Him appearing and being in a new blue livery really got me excited I had it figured out.
So Duck then? Goose would be a "so obvious it can't be" codename for him.
Barring that, I was going to say Thomas because of "Thomas and the Goose" from the RWS, but then I remembered it was a swan. Plus he stays pretty attached to his branchline in your and the RW series.
You probably won't confirm or deny anything else, but I don't think I want to know until next week anyway! :)
Another great installment! I smirked so hard when the Tugs plug was dropped. Great to see the electric engines of the MOD represented. Can't wait to see the rest!😁😁
I see what you did there!
Tho, I wouldn't be surprised if Steam Tugs setting munitions alight was a more common occurrence than we think.
Here's how I think Peter Sam and James' talk went:
Peter Sam: James, there is something I wish to talk to you about.
James: Okay, sure, what is it?
Peter Sam: Well, the engine down at the MoD part of the quarry is Corporal Harris.
James: What?! I thought he was a person!
Peter Sam: That's what the rest of us assumed too. He also told us about something interesting regarding code names.
James: Code names? Oh, more 'confidential military' stuff they like to blab on about?
Peter Sam: Yes. Harris said his code name was Raven and that Adeline's was Swan... (his eyes start growing misty)
James: ... she was a great friend to you all, wasn't she?
Peter Sam: You can say that again. (sigh): Anyway, the last codename he told us was 'Goose'. We don't know who that is, and, well... my first guess was... you.
James: Me?! Why on earth would you think I was 'Goose'?
Peter Sam: Oh, so it wasn't you then?
James: Kuh! No way! I can't imagine a less fitting code name for me!
Peter Sam: Oh... sorry... I guess I'll keep looking.
Pretty much.
@@WildNorWester Peter Sam's thought process on who he thought was Goose was hilarious.
The plot thickens. I’m loving how this mini series is shaping up. As for my guess to who goose is, it would probably have to be one or both of the Scottish twins.
Fantastic story featuring Harris Dan
My best guess is that "goose" is Percy. We know from "Duncan Gets Spooked" that he would deliver trucks to Crovan's Gate now and again. Plus, he was the one that told a Ghost Story to Thomas in 1971, he's likely to have believed in the ghost because he was "kinda" on the scene of Adeline's death.
So Percy was the first engine who heard the story of Adeline before Atlas was the second one to hear of the Story of Adeline?
But that raises another question. If Goose turns out to be Percy and he heard about the ghost story via the movie, who would have thought to have told a movie crew about Adeline's death?
I like how socially inept Harris is, fitting for an engine stuck in that quarry for so long
When I recorded the lines for this episode it was originally gonna be called Manoeuvres, unsure on why the name was changed.
I think it was changed because of the Tugs reference and because the engines were moving munitions away from the MoD section of the slate quarry
Gotta say Norwester, it's bloody good to see you having a regular upload schedule again. Admittedly, what's been going on behind the scenes that led to the series' initial cancellation is beyond me but it's nice to see a series that has been dead for five years get a revival. And it's a revival where someone gives a rat's ass too, not out of obligation or something. Makes one feel good inside to know that there are indeed some constants.
Loved that tugs reference
Cinders and ashes! Did I just hear the James Bond theme playing in the background as Peter Sam left the quarry?! If I did, nice one!
This is literally the first time we met Harris and I already like him.
Is it? Take a close look in 'Ivo's Number', when red Duncan is shunting trucks at the MOD quarry.
@@WildNorWester Literally just did and saw him. But this episode we really get to meet him so that’s what I meant.
I'm gonna go ahead a make a theory, saying Adeline isn't actually dead.
I’m extremely hyped to see this progress
Great story. Did I heard James Bond theme in a part of the scene
My guess for who Goose is Douglas, considering him and Donald are very trustworthy and smart candidates when it comes to jobs for the MOD, maybe the Midnight Goods Douglas use to pull had supplies for the MOD or something like that, which would give him clearance to take their trains and to know what happened to Adeline
Loved the calling out of Bluenose.
Also the ref to 007 made me think of hourofpoops Bond spoof with James as 005. Lol
The revelation of code names deepens the mystery and it is great that we can finally meet the Ministry of Defense engine. I like the touch that he has an actual military rank. I'm also absolutely tickled at the references to the infamous TUGS episode of the same name and the James Bond refences.
I love how off-handedly the events of Munitions (TUGS) are referenced. So good.
I have a feeling that Peter's Goose. He was owned by the British Army at one point for some kind of secret Cold War project.
Peter was by 1968 sealed up in the Ballahoo Tunnel so I doubt it would be him unless he can teleport out of the tunnel to move stuff for them and then disappear back inside.
@@sam_edwards_7233 Fair enough.
That's a fantastic story! I love your work! Also, was that mention of tug boats causing munitions to explode in the US in the '20's a reference to Tugs?
Yep.
@@WildNorWester I'm confused though. The incident in question sounds like the events of "Munitions" however that wasn't caused by sparks, it was caused by a brute Bluenose barging in while munitions were being loaded from barge to tramp steamer, his barge bumped the munitions and that's what started the fire. Not sparks from the tugs. There was the incident in "Jinxed" where Boomer's sparks ignited the munitions but it wasn't a large scale disaster that blew the docks up as mentioned in the video. Was the tale slightly twisted by the military officials that got wind of it as a way to cover up the Navy's screwup (mainly Bluenose's) by any chance?
@@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren There must have been a source of ignition when Bluenose bumped the barges. Metal rubbing on metal can produce sparks. It is referring to the Bluenose incident.
@@WildNorWester Ah I get it. Even though it wasn't sparks from a steam tug it still was a spark regardless. That makes sense.
I loved this episode! Can't wait for next week. In the meantime, I've been thinking about Goose. I'm thinking it might be either Thomas, Edward, or Duck.
It can't be Thomas. He's smaller than Duck so would be unreliable for the MOD trains. Considering the year dates, my guess is Douglas, considering when he found Oliver.
@@agentandrews5737 Good point. I'm interested in the idea that Goose is an entirely new character.
I think “Goose” is Duck. Considering a goose and a duck are both birds
I’ve done some digging and I have narrowed the candidates for goose to 6 engines
Edward
Percy
Toby
Duck
Donald
Douglas
The Tugs reference was *brilliant*
5:06 you could say it’s, BLUE PETER
Ha.
TREMBLIN' TRACKS!!!
First TUGS music, now an actual TUGS reference!
It's good to see this mini series continuing onwards. Top notch stuff.
Ten Cents appeared in a few episodes, and he mentioned Zorran, Hercules and Big Mac by name.
@@numberjacksoctonauts7138 Yes, I remember. It's been so long though.
This Goose has got to be someone who would cause the least suspicion. I would have said Sheffield would be a likely engine but he didnt arrive on Sodor until 1994 and it cant be his twin Wilbert either as he didnt visit Sodor until the 90's. Lily was underwater by then so cant be her either. My guess is it's either Duck, Edward, Thomas or one of the Scottish twins. However my strongest bet is with Duck.
This little electric engine makes me think of the old rolling stock on the London Underground. I saw one like that at a museum in Covenant Garden.
3:20 love the TUGS soundtrack 😊
Man, what an episode. I really like Harris, very hasty he is. But I do have to wonder, could goose be Duck? That might make sense with his whole bird thing. It might also be Peter. I know he was put in a tunnel in 1966, so he COULD have done work for the MOD before hand. Really interesting stuff, can’t wait for the next one.
If it was Peter, the other NWR engines would have seen him.
Here's the clues I've deduced from the episode thus far:
- None of the Mainline engines know anything, James had no idea when asked
- Goose is referred to as 'He'
- Goose is standard gauge
- Geese are 'Loud, brash birds that make a honking noise'
- Had to have been on the Island in the early - mid 60s
- WNW on twitter said that Donald only has a cameo appearance
Here's a list of possibilities that were drawn up in the discussion following the episode's release:
Duck was brought up due to the name alone, however I beilive personally that he's too obvious
Douglas due to his frequent allocation to the Midnight Goods trains, leading to his finding of Oliver
Boco was a consideration due to the connection of Geese honking, but hadn't arrived on the island until 1965
Percy I then realised could be a suspect due to the fact he's not unfamiliar to Ghost Stories and pranks involving them
If Adeline is found and rescued, I have a feeling that she will be restored and be renumbered as SKR engine no. 11. After all, Peter and lily became NWR numbers 15 and 16 respectively when they were found and restored.
I don't think that'll happen with Adeline. But time will tell, I suppose.
Honestly I hope that's what happens.
Dude, Adeline is a ghost. That's why she's called the Phantom Engine, Because she can go visible and invisible.
What i mean is, Adeline died before she came to he SKR, She she came to SKR as a Ghost, And now she's trying to trick everyone by thinking that she had an accident on the Old Iron Bridge. And i know Rheneas saw she had no crew in her cab. So my theory is that Adeline's crew are ghosts too. And they were testing her to she how well she can move by herself (due to her being a Ghost), And after Adeline past Rheneas, She became invisible and caused an invisible explosion (Possibly how she died before coming to the SKR As a Ghost) And made everyone think she had an accident on the Old Iron Bridge, And now she's tricking others (Including Atlas) by becoming invisible and Making everyone think she's in trouble by calling for help.
@@billyjudd3326 wester doesn’t incorporate anything supernatural into his stories. So your theory is rather terrible. The more likely scenario is that Adeline was buried alive.
next episode: the engines go on a wild goose chase
Well played
cool and maybe adeline survived
I love the transition. It really caught my eye.
I've heard that the MOD used a somewhat, 'Beetle-like' engine to move their munitions and equipment round the depot..., but I never thought you'd make him a reality; he's quite the surprise!
Also..., who could this 'Goose' be? Could he have something to do with whatever happened to Adeline?
Can't wait for part 3 I'm having a hard time thinking Adeline is actually gone. I think she's in the brush around the bridge
Perhaps Goose could be Duck? It’s a bit far fetched but it could be possible. The only other engine I can maybe think of that it could be is either Donald, Douglas or BoCo: the latter would perhaps have been preferred by the MOD.
Awesome episode 😍
I’m getting more and more drawn in! Awesome!
I've got 3 ideas who "Goose" could be: (Potential spoilers inbound)
The potential 3 I have in mind.
Duck: Obvious name relation, but could be a red herring from WNW, like James was.
Iris: She worked at a munitions factory (Potentially her bringing the munitions from her plant to Crovan's Gate) , So She would likely have MOD clearance. Also her being a diesel, relating to the honking that Peter Sam thought about. She’s quite stubborn too, like a goose.
Caden: The least likely in my eyes, because no MOD clearance, But him being from barrow, a diesel, and being argumentative make sense for him being a "goose".
Also,I believe that “Goose” is more likely a Diesel, because of the honking mentioned by Peter Sam. Also the only Diesels truly working on sodor in 1968 (according to the wiki) are Daisy, Boco, Bear, and Mavis. Mavis worked at the quarry, and doesn't seem like she would go to the length to do the MOD work at Crovan's Gate, Boco and Bear do not seem to like up with the goose description Peter Sam gave, and Daisy, while lining up with the description, doesn’t like to pull, and works on the farquhar branch, making her go all the way to Crovan's gate and beyond puts her way far away from her working area, and she doesn’t like to pull. I personally theorize that a diesel coming from the Mainland would make sense for “Goose” because none of the Diesels on Sodor seem like potential candidates for such a role, given Peter Sam’s Description of the role.
Both Caden and Iris were built before 1968, Caden in 1961, and Iris in 1965, according to the wiki. Skarloey did say that the quarry had been bought out in the EARLY 1960’s which might invalidate my Iris claim and might put caden in a better light. Duck is an obvious idea because of the time availability and the name, but also him going to the other railway doesn't seem likely.
I doubt it's Iris because she hasn't been on Sodor prior to 2009, and she isn't a case of 'remember the new guy'. Caden is a case of 'remember the new guy', but I don't know if it's him or not.
@@numberjacksoctonauts7138 That is a fair point that I didn't consider, I was going a little more heavily off the wiki than the actual episodes.
This is just a wild guess but I might be onto something. Since the operations around the base were purely MoD, this means that only a locomotive of wartime construction could be the mysterious "Goose", as even in the 1960s, the MoD did still have locomotives of that category still in their books (Hunslet Austerity 0-6-0STs like Sheffield, WD 2-8-0s and 2-10-0s). It has to one of them.
Like the Yes, Minister reference in this episode!
Well another mystery to get to the bottom of. A good second episode.
Peter Sam: 004! XD
That's a good one.
Playing it risky with the Bond music there. Really good episode nevertheless! I was completely sucked into the intrigue.
It's a fan cover, just like most of the music I use.
After a rewatch of this, you missed a chance to play the inspector gadget theme over Peter Sams pondering lmao
Nice touch of the James Bond theme, I love it!
Nice TUGS reference you did there.
Harris is referencing the Tugs episode Munitions. Would this episode's title be referencing that Tugs episode too?
Semi-intentionally. I really picked it as this episode was about the decommissioning of the munitions at the quarry.
Friday are always the best day of the week for wildnorwester to upload
The piano tugs theme is beautiful
Did a bit of research and Ravens, Swans and mod engines. based on what we know, it's most likely Duck, Percy or Mavis. Sheffield/Wilbert fit, but they weren't on Sodor at the time. it could also be a new character, ie, Rosie or Neville.
This episode really gives me vibes of the Tugs episode also titled Munitions
Will find it funny if the connection is 'Duck, Duck, Goose'.
Always a good time when a new episode comes out keep up the great work cheers ✊🍺🍻🤘
First The Unlucky Tug released the first episode of The Thomas Retrospective and now WildNorWester releases this!
The tricky part of the mystery is the fact most of the engines already on the NWR in the 60s were on separate lines, and the mainline is already off the list. My best guess is it had to be Edward that was part of this, as he was built before both world wars and most likely knew how to handle those types of trains.
Absolutely love this! Really do love a good mystery!!
I like the reference to the tugs episode munitions.
I like the Tugs reference!
Harris has an interesting design
I love the James bond music towards the end
I think Mavis or BoCo might be goose. They were there in the early and mid sixties and The M.O.D clearly wanted engines that don't make sparks to deliver their cargo. And diesels have horns that make honking noises
1:49 Gordon with his double chimney
Props to you for noticing that. I hadn’t picked up on it until I saw your comment.
love the tugs reference
13:10 The names Sam, Peter Sam. 🕵️♂️ 🕵️♀️
That story you did reminds me of when I did a case story of Clammy a black ferry. Nice by the way.
love the james bond music 13:40
I really liked this great episode i'm really excited for the next part keep up the good work
This is only a theory: But I think that Harris was the one who moved one of those vans that Adeline asked Peter Sam to leave at Cros-ny-Curin. After all, none of the other engines beside Adeline knew about him and he's pretty quiet too since he's electric. But it is possible that his batteries could get him very far and I can't really see a motive or reason why he'd do it.
feel like goose has got to be duck. it would make sense why they wouldn’t be having any luck with the main line engines, since duck’s on the other side of the island. and, duck duck goose anyone?
Why is Peter blue?
wonderful work as always, I loved the reference to TUGS and Harrison’s model is just ☺️
I look forward to seeing more, and just for fun, who do you guys think is goose. Sound off in the comments! I have my money running on Duck
Love this series, very big fan and best wishes. 🇬🇧 🇦🇺
Since this was uploaded two days before my birthday I’ll count this as a birthday gift
But the question I had was at the end of Duncan gets spooked as he was crossing the old iron bridge we heard Adeline say hello and when Atlas stopped at the bridge she said the same thing but also to help her Skarloey said he heard her ask for help but my question is since that’s what she said at the end of Duncan gets spooked and it says it takes place 15 years later around the same time this takes place will the scene of Duncan crossing and Adeline saying hello be seen in another episode
