BRWS character competition: jamiegoddard4 & Harry the Holden B12/3

[KingofNewAnglia]

A very lovely story and a great perfomance in the actual speical...

[tommygrules4life]

love the music at the start good ol blackadder :P

[Tomthetrainfan]

Now THAT was a great entry

puts my old Leo to shame

Great ending btw, and very original idea. Reminds me of my late gradfather... he was a grumpy old sod who always stayed at home and never came to visit us. Harry makes me remember him...

[jamiegoddard4]

@Tomthetrainfan I like Leo, im not the mystery juge but i'd rank him hgher on character. Littleconfession when your Leo vid cam out i was sufficiently impressed i modelled him in OO, now he's running alongside Harry. :P

[crazyracer12]

That is the best entry, should have won first place!

[jamiegoddard4]

@crazyracer12 Thankyou, but in all honesty, 1st place was astounding.

[Nictrain123]

Man, this is a good movie. I wish Harry was saved. I think I'll have him on my heritage railway once I get a renumberable Trainz B12/3. I hope nohbdy minds.

[jamiegoddard4]

@Nictrain123 Not at all. Although, might be difficult. 61415 is the number for a B13. I just used the number cos i had footage of 61415 and they look broadly the same from the back. So it might be difficult to get b12 61415.

[TheClaudHamilton]

@jamiegoddard4 Yeah, good point about the number, considering that B12s were numbered from 61500 to 61580 in BR days.

Mind you, that doesn't include 1506 - that engine was wrecked at Colchester at only a few months old.

[MSTSRWFSXSS]

Very well made! Well done!

[trainlover657]

wow... i can see why harry nailed it into 2nd place, 1958 was the same year my charecter was cut up, sadly, congrats to you though :)

[jamiegoddard4]

@trainlover657 I really wish somebody had preserved an F5. Or at least one type of GE suburban tank. They would be perfect for most preserved railways now.

[trainlover657]

they're building an F5 ya know :D

[jamiegoddard4]

Yes i saw. It looks to be another exciting project.

[trainlover657]

lol, do ya think bachmann will make a model of this one too? :P

[jamiegoddard4]

@trainlover657 I would say hornby probably. They have the most adaptable tooling for basic tank engines. Still, it won't b finiished for a while so anything could happen.

[TheClaudHamilton]

@jamiegoddard4 Yeah, and a Claud Hamilton 4-4-0. They were smart little engines in their heyday, and it's a shame the only one set aside was cut up by accident.

[jamiegoddard4]

@TheClaudHamilton I so wish we had one, if only because it would look good at the stops at Liverpool Street, still shows you should always label things properly. I've build a D16 for my layout though, so i can at least get a flavour of the originals.

[Lapeer9]

Congrads for getting in prime three, And this is a really great entry

[thatguywithnoaccount]

Congrats on getting second!

[TallboyDave]

That was an epic opening sequence. The "Blackadder" theme really suited it; told you all you needed to know about what sort of engine Harry was: pompous, scathing and arrogant; just like Edmund Blackadder himself.

All that, plus using "Silent Night" when you revealed he'd been cut up perfectly bookended this piece.

[jamiegoddard4]

ah, thank you so much. Its nice to know that peopl are picking up on some of my references.

Originally i actually found footage of the real 61415 being cut up, i was gonna just use that and not have a closing section. But i couldn't convert it to digtal use in time for the deadline. But you're right, sillent night was i thought, a nice way to finish up.

[thomasyourtheleada1]

Where was this?I just really wanna know.

[jamiegoddard4]

@thomasyourtheleada1 I filmed it on my moodel railway at home. It is set at Norwich thorpe. Whch was the maiin shed for the east anglian network.

[jamiegoddard4]

Thats in the east of england on the curved sticky out bit above london. (Sorry i didn't realise you were from the US,

[thomasyourtheleada1]

@jamiegoddard4 Alright,and one more thing though,where was 61415's"death"?

[jamiegoddard4]

@thomasyourtheleada1 I think the real 61415 was cut up at darlington works in the north of england. And the date in 1958 may be a tad early, but it suited the storyline to 1958.

[thomasyourtheleada1]

@jamiegoddard4 Ah,Okay

[DoctorTankEngine]

This is absolutley Brilliant! I'm just sorry I had never seen it until now.

superbly shot, superbly narrated, well done!

Tom

[leokimvideo]

nice entry

[tropicalfishswim]

ABSOULUTLEY SPECTACULAR!

[jamiegoddard4]

So do I.

[NSMerryweather4771]

you do know that the last B12 is already feachured in BRWS as Stephen! 61572 the Last B12

[jamiegoddard4]

Yeah, Harry isnt the last B12. 61572 was withdrawn in 1961. As i said, 61415 was cut up in mid-1958 along with most of the B12's. I tried to create an alter ego, and another B12 seemed both to fit the bill and have a lot of back story to use. A claud hamilton didn't fit the bill and an E4 was impossible to film with.

[NSMerryweather4771]

aaah, i see.

[MITCHELLtheC17]

That was truly a peice of good film making......

maybe you should do you own series of the M&GN lines :D

[KingofTomedy]

Harry's voice reminds me a lot of Coleman's (the Butler) voice from the 1983 movie "Trading Places."

[jamiegoddard4]

I suppose it does. Mind you, i didn't make myself sound posher for Harry. I toned down for the narrator.

[KingofTomedy]

I love this entry, and the voice acting. It's all great.

[penninefilms]

VERY GOOD WORK

[jamiegoddard4]

Thanks!!!

It took bleeding long enough.

[simierski]

Love it!
