A Close Shave (UK)

[OperationAnime262]

"Horrah Horrah Horrah! We've broken away we've broken away! Chase him! Bump him! THROW HIM OFF THE RAIL!"

These trucks are the most aggresive I've seen.

[jameslrbrand2002uk]

right up there with my personal favourite episode OLD IRON lol @ the barber "I dont like engines popping through my walls" I wonder if it would have been ok if he'd crashed through the door instead ?

[RobloxVideosNL]

my favorite episode, i use the sound and re-make it in lego

Duck, YOU ROCK

[Luxayan]

Does Duck Still come in the New Ones. I dont see him in Any Epiosdes now days.

[teletubbybuddy]

@tophat1893I miss duck,too.

[soulsface]

Run Duck run!

[LNERMallard]

I haven't watched an original (non CGI) thomas episode for months. This is my recovery. I LOVE these old episodes. Great storylines, no moving mouths (to me, that just RUINS the original charm of the series), RINGO STARR, and my favorite character, Duck, when he was allowed to act like a Great Western engine. I love how he's all badass sometimes and USUALLY has a positive attitude.

[quizmaster85]

3:00 - I think I've seen that laughing truck in "Pop Goes the Diesel"

[Smoofie92]

@quizmaster85 they reuse them over and over XD

[kylecartman10]

diesel is a motherf***er

[pantsstyle]

@tophat1893 he didnt go anywhere

[ryanlim2002]

I miss the models. :(

[metalshadowoverlord]

The fat controller's theme is my ringtone.

[joc95]

epic crash

[Visonu]

To think that the trucks broke away from Edward, (somehow, with no engine) chased Duck down all that long distance to make him have an accident. They must have REALLY hated him. Why, I'd like to know.

[BlueSoulJim]

i love Duck's large scale face which is all gleaming!

[Sasori327]

Lets be fair, that wasnt the best place to put the barber shop, was it?

[Sasori327]

@tophat1893 me too wah!:(

[thomasanddiesel]

thsi beats CGI by miles...

[metalshadowoverlord]

@thomasanddiesel That's because you can see actual effort was put into this.

[thomasanddiesel]

@metalshadowoverlord yh and it looks more 'real' if you know what i mean

[metalshadowoverlord]

@thomasanddiesel That was the idea behind this series. Realism was the key.

[thomasanddiesel]

@metalshadowoverlord yh i mean the animation does look quite good but it doesn't have the same feel to it

[Throatmad2090]

1:45 Perilous times for poor Duck!!

[AzelfandQuilava]

my fav episode of all

[stingrayfan2007]

This episode was very memorable, the brake van used in it has a similar face 2 that of the van used in Break Van. i also like the large truck with a laughing face.

[yeseehc]

2:27 "and shut his eyes"

well clearly not, his eyes are wide open!!! lol

still, great episode, one of my all time favourites

[jazputin]

duck is awesome i loved this episode as a kid lol Thomas, Duck, Donald and Douglas for the win

[simonpercy6]

Best Episode of all time.

[simonpercy6]

the barber looks like HITLER and the ginger hair customer looks like ADRIAN EDMONDSON.

[janieiscool1]

This episode used to scared me when I was little. I feel so nostalgic. :)

[Pikman01]

I think Edward was Duck's first friend. Also his best friend until Oliver came.

[TrainzMovieTheatre]

Actually, Percy was ("Duck Takes Charge" episode). But I do think that Edward was his best friend until Oliver came.

[bmcj199]

Duck + a barber shop + crash = AWESOME EPISODE!

[TubeWaveMedia]

this was the greatest story of all Thomas if you asked me. LONG LIVE DUCK, THE GREAT WESTERN ENGINE!!!!!!!!!

[stewban007]

Those trucks are evil!

[nascarguy2488]

I Loved this episode when I was a kid. Ringo Starr was THE BEST NARRATER!!

[FeatherWings78]

The originals were always the best.

[NorwichArlesey]

I love that chase music that begins at 1.45

[Throatmad2090]

2:10 :-0

[SmudgerTheMineEngine]

He says duck shut his eyes not true

[potterxt600ttr250c90]

bloody hell lol if got this on video in the loft i loved this when i was a kid i was always scared of diesel lol

[the21stsergeant]

lmao so was i :')

[reaperscorp]

3:57-ish, duck has a new decoration- the clock to the right hand side of his face

[bmxrider13]

it was there when he first crashed through the wall

[tidykris]

that barbers a right cock, the fat controller should have stuck the nut on him for what he did to our duck lol

[Tarbars]

at 2:56 you can see the cow car truck has a face, look closely.

[Headbanger142]

They seemed to be putting faces on completely random trucks in this episode. The brake van had one, then it didn't. The open trucks had one, then no. The vans didn't have one, now they do. Have mercy!

[zozanero]

If you look at 1:00 you can see that the brakevan has got no face but when you see duck pushing at 1:52 it has suddenly got a face!

[Tarbars]

the berber was shaving a costumer because the customer couldn't do it himself, just joking. also when duck is about to go into the siding the people on the station are so terrified.

[DarkTower97]

George carlin and Ringo are doing some of their best in this episode. Angelis sounds like a clown in this episode.

[lolguy543]

Angelis DIDNT DO THIS EPISODE ONLY RINGO AND CARLIN

[DarkTower97]

woops. Thats embarrising.

[lolguy543]

yeh but we all make mistakes i called mavis series 4 by accident!!!! XD

[slashsmartyr]

this is by far the best episode of all time, definetely my favourite from when i was a kid!

[Tarbars]

when edward first starts to pull the trucks the first one that should have a face doesn't. and also i thought edward was more responsible with trucks how come they broke free?

[SnowflakeTH]

The trucks faces seem to disapear sometimes. And Edward can't really stop a coupling breaking.

[Tarbars]

true it was a speedy runaway.

[captstar1]

I think the trucks have the ability to move/switch their faces and even make them disappear. Thats creepy though, a trucks face copmes outta nowhere to scare the beeebies outta an engine pushing them.

[SnowflakeTH]

Nah, just a goof the producers or whoever did.

[captstar1]

I know, just saying in a real life sotaway or an excuse towards them. Did you know some characters in the RWS were dual faced?

[SnowflakeTH]

The Mountain Engines? Well yes, because they needed to be able to see backwards and forwards at various time, and they can't have their front face going down when heading down the mountain (boiler).

[captstar1]

Toby and the trucks maybe even Boco but i kinddah doubt it.

[TrainzMovieTheatre]

Toby isn't dual faced, and neither is BoCo.

[captstar1]

maybe,maybe not but we really don't know that do we? Never been a RWS illustrations where we've seen their back side right? But yes I really highly doubt. Only way to finds out is to ask Christopher Awdry.

[JustInn014]

Actually, I just saw a RWS illustration, showing Toby's backside. He has one face. It's from the book "The Eight Famous Engines".

Great video, btw. Thanks tons for uploading.

[soulsface]

hes er... kinda dead. But his show will live on for ever!

[cyndie26]

I thought Europe used the metric system of measurement. Ringo said, "mile". Should he really have said, "kilometer"?

[zomgabadger]

In the UK, we always say Mile instead of Kilometre.

[EmberstoneAllie]

did ringo say mile. I though the UK used the metric system

[32678knowle]

No especially not in the era Rev W Awdry wrote this in. If you ever look at a british steam engine everything is imperial

[32678knowle]

Whats the name of the theme where edward and duck are working together?

[SnowflakeTH]

Its Edwards theme. :P

[sheep21]

thanks for posting this, had it on VHS as a kid but the tape got lost in a move of house.

[32678knowle]

There really should have been buffers were Duck crashed. Nowadays the whole railway would have been closed if that happend. But hey that was fun

[Miketheredengine]

leylandvictory2

1) James cleared the points so Duck could be diverted down the siding

2)To teach Duck a lesson

[blainethomas]

oh ya. to stop boasting;(2)

[ghfdfhfdndxhcg]

James obviously had to stop for water, leyland.

[leylandvictory2]

There are a couple of questions I want to ask

1) Why did James stop in the middle of nowhere

2) What was Barber thinking when he put the shaving cream all over duck's face.

[TheBlasstard]

oh my god i love these shows

[blainethomas]

Thats gotta hurt at 2:38.

[NorthWesternRailway]

At 1:09 You can see the spiteful breakvan

[shefield11]

you're right. i love this episode.

[FeudFan76]

I love Edward's theme!

[blainethomas]

me too!

[greenangusbob]

for real this show defined my entire childhood. brings back memories watching these videos, and this was my favorite episode ever.

[32678knowle]

The driver says hurry Duck by why does he just not make Duck go faster after all he is the driver

[headshotgamer]

As i thought Diesel was the most evil baddie in Thomas, I looked upon Duck as a sort of hero because he stood up to him. He has to be my favorite character because of this episode.

[CourtneyBon]

Duck is favorite character

[Disneylover89]

Taken from on TV.

[taylormah92]

Ringo is the best narrator!

[TRAINSARECOOL2]

the frist truck that edward pulls at frist the truck doesnt have a face but then it does

[waylon8tor]

The brake van has a face.

[callumleo]

it could be the spiteful breakvan

[HappyDaze01]

If you look carefully, when Duck connects to the train at the station at the beginning the van doesn't have a face. In the next shot you can see a corner of a face so I would put it down to the fact that they probably pulled more than one train. Or they just screwed up.

[ghfdfhfdndxhcg]

Excuse me, not the left track, the RIGHT track. The trucks rolled over the right track when they broke away, whilst before, they rolled over the left track.

[mvs072593]

When the barbera says you have scared my customers, they all have a smile on there face, its funny.

[ghfdfhfdndxhcg]

Hmm, that was weird, when Duck and Edward rolled over the level crossing with the trucks, they were on the left track. But when the trucks broke away and rolled over the crossing again, they were on the left track! Maybe the points were still switched?

[2GUNBOY]

Duck, is a Great Western Railway(GWR) 5700 Class

0-6-0 pannier tank steam locomotive, built between 1929 and 1950. 863 were built, making them the 2nd most produced British class of steam locomotive.

[boyfigureskater1996]

see where you put 060 that means there are no small wheels at the front 0, he has 6 drive wheels 6, and he has 0 small wheels at the back or free wheels.

[2GUNBOY]

I know that.

Do you know what Co-Co means?

[boyfigureskater1996]

Co-Co is in UIC classification a locomotive with two six-wheeled bogies with all axles powered, with a separate motor per axle. Co-Cos are most suited to freight work as the extra wheels give them good adhesion.

[2GUNBOY]

Correct.

Do you know why Diesel, and many other shunters, have coupling rods?

[boyfigureskater1996]

A coupling rod or side rod connects the driving wheels of a locomotive. Steam locomotives in particular usually have them, but some diesel and electric locomotives, especially older ones and shunters, also have them. The coupling rods transfer the power to all the wheels.

Locomotion No 1 was the first locomotive to employ coupling rods rather than chains. In the 1930s reliable roller-bearing coupling rods were developed

[2GUNBOY]

Correct, good job!

Is Thomas gear driven.

[boyfigureskater1996]

yeah i think because other steam engines have like an external motor i know it is not a motor it is air presor

[eddie071]

Good Point

[eddie071]

In Pop Goes the Diesel, Duck insists that Diesel calls TFC Sir Topham Hat but Duck says The Fat Controller. Hypocrite.

[Zip4me]

Did you see that the brakevan had a face?

[edwardtheblueengine1]

u see that brake van is called the spitfull brakevan he has something in to douglas

[dancelano]

Hey, Killermike2178. It's not the Spiteful Brake Van. It's the brake van with a Troublesome Truck wide laughing face.

[Miketheredengine]

Every wise engine knows you cannot trust trucks

[shana754]

Or as we say in america "Every Wise Engine Knows You Cannot Trust Frieght Cars"

[Killermike2178]

cameo by the spiteful brake van

[mafreeko]

great picture oliver! I don't like the new thomas the tank engine alot. i like the old one better

[DrLeoX]

Where did the other line come from? There was not a second line there when the trucks crashed.

[TVLubber]

What do you mean "second line"?

[Miketheredengine]

This is based on what Reverend Wilbert Vere Awdry wrote

[maxmaltz]

magical, what a classic! :D

[AdamDowds]

I loved that scene where he tries to runaway from the trucks and crashes into the barbers!
