Old reliable Skarloey, gallant old Rheneas, impertinent Sir Handle, Cheerful Peter Sam, reliable Rusty, grumpy Duncan, and brave Duke, truly a railway with a heart of gold.

Rheneas / Dolgoch
Sir Handel / Sir Haydn
Peter Sam/ Edward Thomas
Rusty/ midlander
Duncan/Douglas
Duke-prince / princess
Mighty mac / little giant
Freddie ???
Luke ???
Victor ???
Millie ???
@@vanessasandoval96 Luke's basis is a little locomotive named Peter pan, and Millie's basis is a little french well tank engine, and Victor's basis is a locomotive that was built by baldwin and exported to Cuba, I don't know Freddie's basis.
@@Arkay315 Freddie is based on Russell from the Welsh Highland (tbh I only know this from looking him up just now because I was sure he was a Baldwin 10-12-D, but he actually isn't)
Don't forget about cute little Luke
@@legostuffman512 I thought Freddie was the TV series version of Ivo Hugh, which was the railway series counterpart of Tom Rolt.
"It is run by a fleet of charming little steam engines"
Rusty and Fred: And we took that personally.
Let's make that little steam engines and two little diesel engines 😉😉
Rusty and Fred: Are we a joke to you
Eh, I feel like they'd be philosophical about it. They're vital for keeping the line running smoothly, of course, but much in the same way that comparatively few* people go to the Talyllyn railway to see Midlander or Alf, they probably know full well that on the Skarloey they're the crew to the steam engines' cast: if no-one notices they're there, then they're doing their jobs well. As long as the steam engines respect them, they're happy.
* though that does give me the idea of a "diesel enthusiast gala day" story where the likes of Rusty and Fred get put into the spotlight when the passengers actually want to ride behind them for a change and the steam engines get rather baffled (or possibly quite grumpy, in Sir Handel or Duncan's case...).
Hey! Let’s instead say “charming little engines” before causing racism with trains!! :D
Just the fact that Skarloey is the oldest running engine on Sodor makes him a unique character.
And he's a small fella too
Old engine, young at heart. 🏴
Neil might still be there
@@Trainfan123 I honestly wish Chris Awdry would've brought Neil back for a story. Have him reunite with Skarloey and have Neil talk about how much the island has changed. Or he could've had Neil cameo in the Railway Museum book. Have him interact with Thomas.
Neil was scrapped in the early 1900s
Skarloey is definitely one of the greatest wisest, and most reliable engines on Sodor. An amazing start, a middle chapter everyone would like to forget, and such a grand return. He proves that the littlest engines can do the greatest things, and the fact that he helped raise awareness of a real life narrow guage railway, and continues to help keep it around makes him even better.
Just like Thomas say little engines Can do big things
It was just so iconic how he casually brought it up during that interview. That made me respect and love him even more than I already do. The funny thing is, that, since I watched the show before I read the series, I wasn’t expecting it.
I think Old Faith is perhaps the best story in the book because of Sir Handel coming off the track at the points. the name sake of it is given steam again
but I can't help thinking that the controller of the railway at that time was wondering if his boiler given its state of repair could hold steam pressure again safely.
@@eliotreader8220 it’s definitely my favorite, but I think it’s because of how much I love Skarloey as a character.
In the TV show, Skarloey only started becoming childish after his model got scaled up and he subsequently lost the gold ring on his funnel. It's almost as if it was an ancient artifact possessing him.
There is a theory that says that the reason why Skarloey was acting childish is because he was possessed by Proteus, which could explain why he reverted his mature self in Blue Mountain Mystery.
I like to imagine that he got dementia.
@@NitroIndigoGoated opinion😆
I love how Mattel gave him a Welsh accent for his return in CGI
Actually it was HiT They were the ones who produced Blue Mountain Mystery
24:39 WEEEEEE😁 puffed skarloey as he raced down the hill- 💥
I love that the CGI series gave Skarloey a deep man voice. That was Chef's kiss!
Can imagine if some more episode of narrow gauge railway about mistaken identities, pretty in pink, scratch and scrap , Freddy on a roll
Yep
I didn't like it at first, but I realized, "Oh, he's old"
Especially with the Welsh accent
Ok but why did I think Sir Handel sounded not "stubborn" enough lol 🤣
Some engines are young, some engines are old. But Skarloey has a true heart of gold
Someone said it! I needed someone to say it!
He’s the character that reignited my passion for the series
And that must be a sign of purity, in a sensible way.
@@TheAutisticCapricorn811 it is a sign of purity.
Me watching this at 5 in the morning "I'm tired"
22:47 Funny you should say that Tug.
I remember seeing once as a kid in an early 2010's Thomas Magazine a Bio page for Skarloey, on it was a section at the bottom giving the reader fun facts, one of them showed a promo pic of him on the old trestle bridge... it said and i quote: *"When Skarloey was younger he was too scared to cross an old bridge."* This actually confirms that The Old Bridge does indeed take place in the early days of the SR before the engines grew up like you think, and Duncan & Sir Topham Hatt being there IS just a writing error. If this wasn't the case nor the writers intentions... why else would the publishers for the magazine specifically state that line in the bio if they didn't have some behind the scenes source of the show to go off?.
😱😱😱😱😱😱
So wait, some of the later model seasons were actually flashbacks to when they were younger? Now I definitely have to watch the series again in timeline order and not just season order
Ngl Skarloey strikes the perfect balance of all the other older engines he's got the never give up attitude of Edward and Rheneas, the history and mentorship of Duke, the chaotic watch the world burn side like Toby, and the optimism of Stepney
All divine character traits embodied into one singular silhouette that turned into a light of realism in its purest form the likes of which no one has ever seen. And that in my opinion is what the heart and soul of a legacy looks like, in Wilbert Awdry's eyes of course when he lived his time here on Earth 🌎
One of the times where the CGI portrayal is actually better than the the model series one
Skarloey is a character I’ve never see anyone hate (and I hope it stays that way), he’s just so lovable it’s really hard too. His arc is absolutely fantastic and felt very natural, despite him being inconsistent in season 6/7 and in the hit era I’m glad that was changed in Blue Mountain Mystery. If I ever make a Thomas tier list he’s definitely going to be in S Tier for me. Also I like the Skarloey the brave joke lol
Series 7-12 Skarloey: It’s time to put away childish things…
CGI Skarloey: and become a man!
Fr
I gotta say. Skarloey is really cool. He’s very unique especially in his introduction season/seasons. They did ruin him in the hit era but fixed him following blue mountain mystery. I must say, Skarloey is one of a kind 🍷🗿
All the narrow gauge engines but Duncan have appeared in cgi season 16 of blue mountain quarry
Indubitably 💯💯
Skarloey may be one of the oldest but he's young at heart. He will always be that fun-loving young engine. His personality, design, and age make him stand out. My favorite character.
i grew up with the hit era shows but i don’t remember them much (the classics and then cgi stood out to me more.) and i forgot how dirty they did skarloey.
i remember watching the blue mountain mystery movie and being like “yep that’s good ol skarloey how he’s always been.” but yeah damn they did make him a coward for a while there 😭
Model Series Skarloey kind of rediscovered his lost youth again.
It feels Sad that i grew up stuck with hit era DVDs which gave me a bad point of view of skarloey. Still feels surreal to know his True colours
I'm on the inverse, my parents forced me to grow out of Thomas when I was 8 (2004) so I didn't get to watch them massacre my favorite character.
@@ChrisSuperDudethat's a bit sad dude :(
Same
@@ChrisSuperDudeI'm sorry
I just realized you can see the Culdee Fell Mountain Railway if you squint hard enough, you can see what looks like ridges where tracks are laid. (In the opening shot)
One of the best Sodor's finest episodes ever.
Yeah I like Skarloey when he goes to Sodor with Neil then his brother Rheneas had made it
tbh the best one was peter
Early Railway Series Skarloey: I HATE YOU!
Early Railway Series Rheneas: You're my brother, Skarloey. I love you.
29:42 that shot with Duncan on the bridge looks amazing. 👌 🌞 🌉 ❄️
I never liked the narrow gauge crew much when I was younger, but I really do love it now and appreciate the respect for the real life preservations Awdry wanted to respect
Despite his inconsistency in the HiT era, Skarloey is my favorite narrow gauge character 25:17
Mine is Duncan.
Mine is Sir Handel, he always got in trouble. I can really relate to that.
@@TheAutisticCapricorn811Duncan is mine too
Skarloey is the leader of the narrow gauge engines and he is also known as the "Guardian of the Skarloey Railway".
On TV Tropes' Pantheon section it would be:
Skarloey, God of Narrow Gauge Railways.
@@s.p.d.magentaranger1822Somebody
@@s.p.d.magentaranger1822 The first six all have a Pantheon profile now (which I partially made), but they're the Gods of Adaptation Dye Jobs in the Hall of Adaptational Changes.
Your visit to the Talyllyn Railway was what brought me to this video about Skarloey. Can’t wait to see it again once everything is back in its place. Skarloey is a great character, no questions asked.
To this I think Hit era Skarloey is worse than CGI Henry for one good reason. The CGI series fixed Henry at least and he has 3 good episodes. Like Edward and Rheneas Hit didn't fix Skarloey's character and he didn't have good episodes.
I grew up with the hit era. But ever since watching S4 and reading the RWS books, I had more respect for Skarloey and chnaged my perspective on Hit era Skarloey. Great video
Coincidental that I got the 4 Little Engines book on Christmas day.
Him re-uploading all his video has given me a reason to watch them all again
I can’t believing the Nitrogen Era got Skarloey right again. “The Nitrogen Era!”
8:41
Best joke in the video by far
24:43
Someone contact Bachmann’s Parts Department, we had…..errm…accident with our Skarloey model
I’ve always liked Skarloey, especially when I learned more and more about his true character (as I was mostly exposed to him in the Hit Era) but this video made me appreciate and love him so much more and I’m grateful for it. Excellent analysis Tug
I'm so happy that you uploaded this one. Skarloey is one of my favorite characters, and I was worried I'd never see this video again. Thank you.
My thoughts exactly.
At least The CGI series create episodes around the narrow gauge railway sometimes. The writers tried their best to feature the railway as much as the Blue Mountain Quarry. There's no rule about appearances about Blue Mountain Quarry and the railway.
I think we should take a moment to appreciate the fact the CGI incarnation had a Welsh accent and I'm reading this back in my head in a Welsh accent as well...
And I always wondered about Peter Sam's funnel, what is with that shape anyway? I see now that it's real, but why was it shaped like that?
One of my favorite episodes of Sodor's Finest. Thank you for the re-upload.
I'm so glad you're videos are slowly returning. Your channel actually got me back into Thomas after so many years
I know why Skarloey aged backwards in the model era, the ring! Skarloey had the ring around his funnel in seasons 4 & 5 and the ring made him feel old and wise. Seasons 6-12, he lost his ring and it made him forgot who he was.
27:55 I love how they gave scarloey a deep man voice
respect to unlucky tug for pronouncing most of the welsh words right 👍
I didn’t know Awdry was the guard back then, and he flag down the train so that the refreshment lady can get on. And too bad we didn’t get a Skarloey episode in the cgi era, but at least we got some stories of him in the books and tv series.
Your knowledge of the history of trains astounds me. You should work in a museum someday.
"You belong in a museum!" But in a good way!
@@s.p.d.magentaranger1822 That’s what I meant
@@nateobrien354 Tis a joke, just tryin to be funny
Skarloey and Rheneas easily got the worst personality changes in the HiT era.
"i'M TiREd."
24:39 "WHEEEEEEE!!!", puffed Skarloey as he raced down the hill.
Skarloey, going by his Railway Series saga, clearly connected with people from the beginning of his life - or more precisely the expectations he had relating to them. It is why he wanted to look good by pulling coaches; it is why he got such an impression of himself when he returned with a cab. I also like to think the scene where he voices his demand to pull coaches to Mr. Mack actually shocked the Manager, and thus other workers, because they were not used to engines being able to talk. All those things clearly impacted Skarloey going forward. Rheneas being comparatively more reserved and inclined to snap when pinned down only further highlights how Skarloey was a breakout character in a sense; once Skarloey found Rheneas did not necessarily intend to cut in on his benefits, they gradually settled into working together as equal partners. Regards, Samuel Farris
> because they were not used to engines being able to talk
"There's nothing in How Engines Work Vol 1 about *this*!"
"Oh right, you need Vol 2"
I'm especially glad this video is back, I love Skarloey too much 🥹
Tug if any of the first six Narrow Gauge Engines survived in the Hit era, it would be Sir Handel and Duncan. Duncan was still mischievous, but at least his grumpy side is no longer there. Sir Handel, who was pompous and antagonistic in season 4, returned as a mature older engine in season 10.
Good job skarloy For getting that train home even with a broken spring
11:52
I grew up reading the original books, as written by the great Reverend Wilbert Awdry. I started reading them as a kid around 40 years ago, and quickly came to love them! _Skarloey_ was a loveable character right from the start! I remember his appearance in "Four Little Engines," and the antics of engines like "Sir Handel." I remember the scene where he deliberately splits the rails when his driver says _"We'll leave the coaches, and fetch some trucks!"_ *"Trucks?!?"* Sir Handel rudely replies. *"I won't!"* and promptly spreads the rails. *"So there!"* he says!!! 🤣
_Peter Sam_ was another engine I always liked, and was pleased to have "met him" during my very brief visit to the Talyllyn Railway in 2019. Rheneas was _different..._ in my view as a kid. I couldn't pronounce his name, and just preferred Skarloey and Peter Sam. Then there was _Duke._ There was something about him I liked from Day 1, and now when I see him in videos I still think of him as _"Granpuff!"_ All in all, great memories, and perhaps the origins of my love of British steam, despite being an Aussie! 😍😍
This made me rethink my thought about Skarloey and RWS and this is might be cliché but the Railway Series was the best of Skarloey
I was just about to complete watching your CGI Timeline when this appeared on my notifications
After the narrow gauge engine but Duncan have appeared in blue mountain mystery they reappeared in late season 16 of don’t bother and Christmas tree express
Please Reupload the Complete History of Hiro I loved that video
I'm sure he will. He just has a lot of other videos that also need reuploading.
I love his character arc woth peter griffin.
2:40 I love that you used the music that the Talyllyn Railway uses in their channel
I've watched this video 8 times..
Yeah, this was so well made.
Idk how many times I watched it! It's just too good!
Besides the inclusion of Mr. Percival, all of Duncan’s episodes (S9-11), _Mighty Mac, A Smooth Ride,_ both of Freddie’s episodes (S10-11) and Madge’s episodes, the HiT era was a pretty bad time to be a fan of the Skarloey Railway (season 12 was their worst year *period!).*
skarloey: you should get one like me and be up to date!
rheneas: no thank you you look like a snail with that house on your back
me: OHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Skarloey is my favorite character of all time and this is easily your best sodor finest video ever
Yeah I love Skarloey since I got the track master

Skarloey is my favorite ❤️ character of the Narrow Gauge engines ever since he was first introduced in season 4 and I have visited the Talyllyn railway twice and the last time I was there it was when the railway was celebrating the Awdry Extravaganza 2 and I got to see the actual tv model of Skarloey which was the highlight of my trip thanks for sharing this interesting video of my favorite Narrow Gauge engine 👍❤️
Now i wanna see a Sodor's Finest on all these Narrow Gauge engines.
Hey unlucky tug, I would like to thank you for making the video's you did (even on the old channel which sadly didnt survive). Bcs of your video's my passion for thomas & friends came back but also my love for trains came back.
Now im drawing up plans for a railway focused mod for minecraft.
I might never came up with those plans if i didnt discovered channel.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. This channel has done a lot of good things for me. I found it two months ago during a particularly hard time in my life, and I’m grateful for it. It reignited my passion for the series, help me remember things that have been repressed for so long, and I learned a few things too.
Fun Fact: The original upload on the old channel was on my birthday
Nice.
Definitely one of my favorite characters of the show
Considering how many times they showed inaccurate engines in season 4 (Duncan on the MSR, Rheneas on the SR when it should have just been Peter Sam, Skarloey and Rheneas on the MSR) I think we can argue that the Duncan appearance is an error. As for Topham, I imagine him as an ancestor of the Topham we know today. He does wears the same suit, but then again STH wears the same suit in almost every episode.
That works
I 100% feel like Skarloey is in my top three favorite Narrow Gauge characters along with Rheneas and Stewart.
James, Duck, and Edward fall as my top three fav standard gauge engines.
Neil was preserved at the vicarstown railway museum
Skarloey in season 6 would have been better if the Rusty saves the day episode had his want to give up line was said by Rusty and Skarloey steels the show by saying that they should not give up and asks Elizabeth the quarry truck to help and not the other way around.
This video instantly made Skarloey one of my top 10 favs.
24:40 “Weeeee!” Puffed skarloey as he raced down the hi-
*CRASH*
I always loved Skarloey. I love his character, and his adventures in the books and classic era. His wise personality from the books and classic, will always be the best.
The movie blue mountain mystery fixed everything
I'm really hoping for another narrow gauge sodors finest any of the other OG 7 would be amazing
10:40 I get so emotional hearing that line from rheneas with the music in the background. What a beautiful moment 🥲
Skarloey's flanderization, along with all the other narrow gauge engines in the Hit Era is just annoys me. If only we could have something like, Season 10's "A Smooth Ride" but have Skarloey in place of Sir Handel and have Peter Sam be in place of Duncan, and Rheneas in place of Peter Sam to help Skarloey up the hill.
At the :20 segment, you are dealing with 'roadster" horses. IE: The Blinders... This is a style of English horses that are borne to bring people from one space to another. They are quick to their feet and will never skip a beat. Love your channel, just wanted to let you know!
Forget Thomas, Skarloey is the true number 1
Yes
Damn right
After rewatching this wholesome Sodor's Finest character analysis of Skarloey as many times as I can think of wanting to, I have to say just two things to make a brief statement on my opinion:
1. I am so stupendously glad that the Unlucky Tug's content is being re-uploaded, as well as for a backup CZcams account that the copyright infringement administration unnecessarily and unethically banned his original account, which I hope gets reinstated for every one of us in the Railway Series/Thomas & Friends fandom universe inspired by the legacy of the Reverend Wilbert Awdry himself. (Fo' real though, fuckin' goddamn shame on CZcams for doing such a thing like that 😠😤)
2. Skarloey is officially now another favorite character of mine I would like to be indicted on my list. Not only does this video change my perspective on him, it's how the exact agreement on how his character portrayal in the TV show has regressed like in the original book stories. I think it was Gullane Entertainment that placeholded the record of Skarloey's character assassination, and the HiT era continued it to a more slain degree. I was in middle school at the time I've watched the HiT era of the show (maybe around 2008, 2009 or 2010 somewhere there) and watching the episodes of how Skarloey was characterized, I was appauled, like literally sick to my stomach of how HiT treated him like that 😖🤮 I could not bare to have any span of attention to even watch the Skarloey episodes.
Skarloey Secrets:
Why he became a child in the Hit Era:
So in Wilbert Awdry died both in real life and in the Railway series. What if he also died in the model series? And the narrow gauge engines all had coping mechanism. Skarloey reminisced about being a child, and started to act like a baby.
Why he started to give up in Rusty to the Rescue:
When the Skarloey Railway was in disrepair, Skarloey being the namesake started to lose hope. He believed that if the railway opened under him, the railway would also close under him.
That's an interesting theory!
Is it just me or does the skarloey railway theme sound VERY relaxing like if someone made a 1 hour version of the skr theme i would sleep to it evry nigru
Regarding "The Old Bridge", I bet Sir Handel and Peter Sam would've been used had they had a large scale prop of Sir Handel. It would make a lot more sense considering he nearly fell to his death in Bulldog.
Looking back at this video, I'm starting to feel like we need a video that answers the question as to why real life places were never mentioned in the model series. (Unless Magic Railroad is already a stand-in for that answer. :/)
I love how he is good at telling stories about the history of his railway
Skaroley is honestly my favorite engine. Rheneas too. I couldn’t believe that in the model series they changed his character. I will have to go with model series but only seasons 4 and 5.
Maybe the kid like skarloey and rheneas and the easponsable rusty in the hit era are replicas build to represent the 3 while the real skarloey rheneas and rusty are being overhauled.
@@sineadcleary7632This would explain why Freddie refers to Skarloey and Rheneas as 'young engines' in Fearless Freddie
I'm actually glad Sir Handel is now the old one because in season 4, he was sour pot as a youngster version. It kinda makes sense like this.
Him being nicer is ok, but him being the wise one over Skarloey and Rheneas feels wrong.
24:39 Why is this so funny to me
Since 2 years have passed since this video’s original upload, Skarloey is now 159 years old
1 year, actually.
7:45 is there any particular reason that Mr.Mack looks like Abraham Lincoln
I'm enjoying the re-uploads as a chance to revisit all of this.
Skarloey is suppose to be the narrow gauge equivalent to Edward, not Percy.
Talyllyn looks just like Skarloey in red! The Skarloey Railway is the Talyllyn in all but name...
The talyllyn railway even has a little motorised shed type contraption called "Toby", the members love the railway series
Amazing video! Skarloey was always one of my favorite characters.
Real-life events for the Awdry’s Skarloey and Mid-Sodor (also mountain engines) stories:
* Skarloey Remembers - Talyllyn retired in the shed, Dogloch leaving to be overhauled, and life on the Talyllyn before the new engines arrived.
* Sir-Handel - Sir-Haydn derailing.
* Peter-Sam & The Refreshment Lady - Awdry as a guard caused a train to leave the driver’s mother-in-law behind.
* Old Faithful - Talyllyn wormed-out yet used on emergency services.
* Trucks! - Possibly the 1904 accident at the incline quarry on the Talyllyn.
* Home At Last - Douglas’s can scraping bridges and tunnels, and Talyllyn’s return.
* Rock-N-Roll - Douglas’s rough-riding and derailments, and Minlander’s maintenance work.
* Little Old Twins - The BBC TV visiting the Talyllyn.
* Special Funnel - Edward-Thomas’s giesl ejector briefly replacing its damaged funnel, and possibly the 1948 washout on the Corris.
* Steam-Roller - An Irish steamroller’s collision with a train.
* Passengers & Polish - Douglas stalled on a bridge once.
* The Gallant Old Engine - How Dogloch saved the Talyllyn from closure.
* Mountain Engine - The Snowdon’s #5’s trial trip before the Snowdon line opened.
* Bad Look-Out - The opening day accident with the Snowdon’s #1.
* Danger Points - The Snowdon’s #6 derailed at the summit.
* Devil’s-Back - The Snowdon’s #6 helped some climbers and was renamed.
* Crosspatch - When Talyllyn was first built and had steaming issues.
* Bucking Bronco - Talyllyn’s bouncing as a 0-4-0, obviously causing someone to fall off the footplate.
* Stick-In-The-Mud - Talyllyn getting a cab, Dogloch’s arrival, and if there was ever a mudslide on the Talyllyn.
* Duck & Dukes - The Talyllyn’s 100 anniversary.
* Grand-puff - A George England locomotive used as a stationary boiler, and the Corris’ closure in 1948.
* Bulldog - Linda’s leap on the Ffesington.
* You Can’t Win - An event either from the Corris or the Ffesington.
* Sleeping Beauty - An abandoned steam locomotive rediscovered and restored in the Amazon.
Skarloey has a good story arc in the railway series.
imo, the HiT era needs to be totally rewritten and remastered. The characters introduced in the HiT era need to be rewritten and revamped.
7:26
Can’t believe Peter was in the railway series
Technically they are. The BB class (Rheneas's basis) and the C class (Skarloey's basis) were practically the same at first, only difference being that Rheneas is a well tank and Skarloey is a saddle tank.
