    There is one easy thing too defend about BoCo, and that’s that he isn’t a diesel version of Edward

    Despite his lack of appearances in the Railway Series and TV Series, BoCo was quite a popular character throughout the magazine stories in the 1990s; some of which actually featured him as the main character instead of a minor character.

      Being a modern locomotive, he would be inexperienced and therefore wouldn't be able to 'know his place', butting his cab into arguments where it shouldn't belong until he gets more experience working with the engines.

      Someone made a story, simply called 'BoCo'. It's based on real-life events and the Railway Series and makes references to his troublesome engine, which was a recurring problem for the 28s, and how the Fat Comtroller had it fixed. I can't remember who made it but it's really good. Have a look!

  • @samuelfarris1949
    @samuelfarris1949 Před rokem +15

    The thing to take about BoCo is how to judge his character. I see from his actions that he is willing to speak his mind when someone is in trouble or presenting a hazard. This is why he confronts Bill and Ben in their introductory story, although of course the Twins, having only just met him, took him as being a threat until Edward came and helped clarify the situation. This also played into Duck being won over by BoCo in the following story (going by Railway Series order), as a result of the events surrounding Diesel, who BoCo would have most likely have learnt of subsequently. An episode centring on BoCo's basis's mechanical issues would have been nice to have as a way of connecting with the character. Would have in turn boosted his contribution to the events of 'Double Teething Troubles', where he gives advice to Derek about dealing with his cooling problems. Regards, Samuel Farris.

    Your right about Boco, we should learn more about Boco’s origin, how he became to be? Why is he so patient, reasonable and caring? If only the writers would only given him that chance. But sadly not all the characters get to come back to the tv series 😔.

    @danielsellers8707 Před rokem +2

    I think "Double Teething Troubles" takes place in 1965 while Edward is being repaired at the works following the events of "Edward's Exploit", as Edward doesn't appear in this story and it fits that the Clayton diesel could have been trialled while Edward was away. I tend to disregard the TV series original stories except where they only use RWS characters or fit in with the books. For example, I say the Series 3 episode "Heroes" takes place after the 1995 book "Thomas and the Fat Controller's Engines" as this is the last time we say the china clay wagons. In my headcanon the china clay works is now a museum and Bill & Ben still live there, Edward pulls tourist trains and BoCo has been joined by his brother CoBo (D5705) after a meeting between Derby & Matlock - the 2 diesel units that run the Norramby branch from Barrow, as they met CoBo when he was in storage in the old Matlock goods shed at the time of Derby & Matlock's trial service on the Matlock line. Derby & Matlock are BR Class 151 units, the only 2 ever built.

  • @jaanshersaeed4541

    Guessing maybe but maybe not completely that after TATMR they made Diesel Mavis Arry Bert and Salty the most prominent diesels during the Gullane and HIT eras due to having less common colors in the show (black yellow and red) while BoCo Daisy D261 and Derek starting to fade out of existence could’ve been due to being in generic green liveries plus also not having as many unique traits (surely Diesel 10 with his claw and huge villainous role must be why he’s so prevalent in marketing) and someone likely also thought having smaller diesels more would be more marketable to younger kids than bigger diesels.

    Saying he is terrible is a little over exaggerating. Sure he isn’t really used that often or has big character arcs or his own stories, but I reckon he is a simple fellow that doesn’t really like to be in the spotlight and prefers to just do his own humble and quiet duties. That’s how I see him anyway, great essay video 😊👍

    Thomas and the Jet Engine could've gotten replaced with a still better but similar episode - Boco and the Jet Engine. It would've been good for Cranky to interact with Boco. Likewise, unlike Thomas, you might say Boco's class were built for speed. Boco, Oliver, Bill and Ben moreover could've taken the roles of Percy, James, Arry and Bert respectively in Middle Engine, with Gordon getting Henry's role because of his relative nescience with trucks

    Not to mention boco's model, the class 28 Cobos were terrible, as the crossly engines had constant problems and when they were functioning, the amount of smoke they made put Alco diesels to shame. It was so bad that at one point they were sent back to the manufacturer. Oh, and for some reason the cab windows randomly fell out
