The British Railway Series: Episode 10 - Director's Cut

[WillJoeDoctorwhofans]

A quite fantastic episode. It's a shame that Gadwall doesn't have a speaking role in this, and there are scenes of sorrow (like Sir Ralph's death scene) that makes you not stop watching until the very end. Very Good job and I rate this 10/10.

[IndianaJonesnutter]

i went to the national railway museum in york and saw a picture of sir ralf wedgewoods destroyed body

it is quite a site. very horrific

[IndianaJonesnutter]

@ 5:14 u forgot to mention Seagull

if u dont believe me i have the model

[10thstudio]

Fantastic, truely moving

[FLYTRAP47]

if the now dead sir ralph had been derailed by the bombs

what type of bomb could do that to a locomotive

[10thstudio]

@FLYTRAP47 probably a 50 pound bomb

[tobythesuperfasttram]

isn't the remains of a engine hit in the blitz at york now

[class37trash]

@tobythesuperfasttram Are you referring to copper nob? If so it was involved in an air raid and survived it, which they say did the towns moral the power of good. It is preserved in york.

[GeebMachine]

You cut out the song, "Danny Boy"!

[PGW85Productions]

02:12 sir raph wedgewood has no face

[BramGroatFilms]

This was REALLY Great Episode.

You captured the devastation of World War II, and the destruction of Gadwell, very well!

[WGTNmtbFILMS]

All I can say is wow. That was so, deep, meaningful, and real. I love it

[boltedproductions]

1 person was killed in the bombings.

[trainsrg8]

I cant tell whose the main character Stephen or Allen whoever knows please reply,Thank you

[disneyrangerblue02]

Wow... that's the best episode I've ever seen. So emotional, so dramatic, so incredible. You, my friend, have really outdone yourself.

[Cheesegamer1505]

I'm german and I'm really shocked about what we've done in those years I wish it never happened.

[PalomboDylan]

@Cheesegamer1505 I'm half i'm one third Japonese, one third American and I just found out that my dad

but he's biologically my grandfather,but anyway back to the subject my dad's dad was full blood british

so I'm also one third British and for my japonese side I am shocked that the japonese participated in helping the bad side for a bad cause in WW2.I'm one third japonese is becouse my biological dad was full blood japonese and my biological mom is full blood american my biological dad's dead.

[Perrygallo]

6:20 that is the Mallard locomotive, no? - I can tell by the number 4468 and the plaque on the side

[TheRailfan747]

Great job on this episode, the powerful plot is strengthened by a historical basis.

[trainlover658]

I preffered the "oh danny boy" music that was in the original during the bombing scene...

[HughTheB12]

I just spotted something! You could've had a correct Herring Gull if you had swapped the models' faces at 6:02

[simierski]

@HughTheB12 - good spot!

[MegaPikachu5]

@HughTheB12 he didn't have to because its still the same engine

[cpgguitar321]

My fav episode by far!

[HughTheB12]

This is a legacy in and of itself. Your series is inspiring! I wrote a whole script over two days in English about the War Effort and a bit about Gadwall's death and this is just amazing!

[skarloeyrailway]

who is the enigne next to tavish at 00:43

[sirgresley6007]

why is it that before you made the directors cut that when nigel first appears in it that the tardis was on the platform and disappears

[leokimvideo]

TTOOBBYY

[leeham991]

OMG this is unbelievably cute.

[Zaphodraptor]

I would like it if we could see the deleted scenes.

[dcgitz]

Scott's like the RID Ultra Magnus, don't you think?

[simierski]

@dcgitz - ? ? ?

[dcgitz]

@simierski You know, 'cause they both have similar personalities and all...

[PalomboDylan]

@simierski what dcgitz was talking about was the transformers cartoon way back I think from the 1970s

[dcgitz]

@PalomboDylan Actually, it was originally "Car Robots" when it was imported to the US to rename it "Robots In Disguise." Created in 2000, dubbed in late 2001.

[disneyrangerblue02]

@PalomboDylan Nah, I think it was in 1984.

[dcgitz]

@disneyrangerblue02 Well, that was the City Commander Ultra Magnus. The RID incarnation "claims what is rightfully his".

[donaldengine9]

@simierski: He's talking Transformers, Simon. ;-)

[disneyrangerblue02]

@simierski Ultra Magnus is an Autobot in the Transformers franchise.

[speedracer456v]

@simierski R.I.D was a Transformers series. Long story, can't cut it short

[Heroduothecomedian]

@simierski ultra magnus is a transformers for the series that took after beast machines ended

[PalomboDylan]

@dcgitz How is he like Ultra Magnus and what does RID stand for

[dcgitz]

@PalomboDylan Both tend to get angry at times, although Scott, as I se is deliberatley angry and Ultra Magnus isn't. And RID stands for "Robots In Disguise."

[Heroduothecomedian]

@dcgitz but i agree with u,more like rib ultra magnus near but ultra magnus never the less

[TheRBLTeam]

lol 7:05 Sir ralph's(aka gadwall)number was backward

[brushtraction]

It is absouloutly nothing like Thomas the tank it is a brilliant series of short films that simierski has worked very hard to make and put on YouTube it's not a cheap and chearfull imitation to Thomas and friends it is historical and entertaining I'm 100% sure simierski didnt put all that work in to the series just for you to mock it and brand it as anything like Thomas the bloody tank I think it is quite unique and historical. :-l please stop comparing it to Thomas the tank thank you

[brushtraction]

The remains were almost all cut up at doncaster works but some of the cab is or was on top or a stack of withdrawn class24s at vic berrys I can only amagin that they have been cut up or melted down R.I.P.Gadwall/the early sir Ralph wedgewood the a4 pacific and may the legend be remembered for ever moor

[modelrailway100]

did this really happen herring gull was renamed sir ralph wedgwood after gadwall was destroed

[ejcmoorhouse]

hey scott and ralph places near the end whats going on!!?!

[trainlover467]

witch danny boy song did you used for the bomb scence in the original version?

[TheNw1218]

station bombing scene in my opinion

was poor, ask leokimvideo 4 help next time you shoot

a station bombing

[simierski]

@TheNw1218 - thanks. Given this was originally shot four years ago, I have learned a great deal from Leo on many occasions. When I get the time/money/inclination I'll have another go.

I would like to see you have a go at blowing up a station set in 00.

[PalomboDylan]

@simierski Hi This is Dylan from the U.S.A I have watched every single episode you have made even the one that was like 45 minutes long with you in it telling every person who watched it why you made the series and all that.I love your videos.I was wondering what you used for the faces for the locomotives.I was also wondering what made the deltics lights change colours.I was also wondering where you got deltic.Also where you got the fowlers ghost engine.Please respond as soon as you can.Thanks.

[simierski]

@PalomboDylan - 1. A special clay from Austria, but soon to be superceded by plastic faces. 2. Deltics lights were controlled by a DCC chip. 3. I bought deltic from the National Railway Museum, York. 4. Fowler's Ghost was made from a HO model of the german loco "Der Adler". Thanks for stopping by!

[288jh]

I LOVE THIS SERIES...however the original version with the danny boy song in the gadwall bomb scence i like better...but still GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!

[benr1512]

so would we ever hear that story of Allen arriving at opley Hill or was that what the unaired pilot was?

[ejcmoorhouse]

@benr1512 watch the making of the BRWS and the Complete episode 1 that should give you your answer

[Frserthegreenengine]

Poor Gadwall :( P.S Brilliant Work Simierski

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

I miss having "Danny Boy" for the scene where the station is bombed.

[iSkitbros]

I have always been a fan of you simierski

[simierski]

@cooljoemaz - yes indeed :)

[simierski]

@cooljoemaz - no, not particularly. I was more inspired by the ideas and storylines in TUGS if anything. Something darker, more meaningful.

[LEON13858]

@simierski is that why at the start you introduce your engine's lifes as captain star did in tugs. i was thinking you may have likeness to tugs but was never really sure.

[disneyrangerblue02]

@simierski Lucky you, in the USA, all we had of TUGS was in Salty's Lighthouse, and it failed in comparison to the original version.

[ikjam2]

sort of like thomas and friends

[simierski]

@ikjam2 - only insomuch the talking trains. The themes, storylines, and characters are entirely my own. This is different, markedly so.

[ThompsonLine]

Hey mate, can you give me some pointers on that station scene. Like what did you use for dust? How did you get the station to collaps like that? How did you get the small clouds of dust?

[simierski]

@ThompsonLine - Dust is simple. Strain out flour to make a fine powder, and blow gently. The station was rigged to come apart using fishing wire, which was pulled.

[1800isbest]

quite a touching episode brilliant

[limozeen61]

Excellent work, as usual. But I must ask: What is the music in the background during the bombing of Platform 9? It fits as good as, if not better than, "Danny Boy."

[simierski]

@limozeen61 - can't quite remember. It is one of Kevin Mcleod's uploads for copyright free music.

[ScottishRails]

I'm glad you uploaded it all put together. Also great to see the director's cut. 10:54 - footage is mirrored to make 11:31 . Or the other way around. I don't know.

[simierski]

@ScottishRails - good spot! I honestly can't remember which, sadly.

[craigybus1]

It is pronounced Cop-Lee Hill btw. Nice vid though. The reason why the Luftwaffe knew where to bomb was an excellent series of detailed travel books. York was very heavily bombed, and several historic buildings including one of the old churches, which still lies in ruins as a memorial to the blitz

[simierski]

@craigybus1 - yep, still makes me cringe when I hear it - very much a mispronunciation that I missed in editing first time around. Note, in later episodes I managed to pronounce it alright! :)

[SteamTrainz]

I love it!

[StabelyUnstable]

Definetly one of the most chilling tales to come out of Copely Hill Works. Gr8 job m8!

[thomasandedwar09]

truely brilliant my friend! I so love this episode! Its really dramatic how you made the bombing part! and realistic

[MURPHYPRODUCTIONS828]

One Of My Favorite Episodes,Splendid Work Mate =)
