Duncan and the Works Train

A few years ago, I assisted in re-writing an ERS volume and this is one of the new stories I penned for it. Based on similar incident that happened to Sir Haydn on the Talyllyn in June 1999.

Who narrates this? The voice sounds familiar....

[TheKipperRunsAgain]

@OwenDWF I narrated this. I've done stuff for other YouTubers (Jivio and Railraider1) and have also lent my voice to several SiF productions over the years.

There's just one thing that confused me. Duncan says to himself 'We need another diesel" - what happened to Fred?

[TheKipperRunsAgain]

@7Lightening Fred didn't arrive until 1989. This little incident took place some time between 1982 and 1984, whilst Sir Handel was away visiting the Talyllyn. The original story had his lines delivered by an ERS character, Edwin Richard, but as he hasn't been modelled for Trainz yet, Sir Handel remains in this version.

@TheKipperRunsAgain Then why was Murdoch there at 0:29?

[TheKipperRunsAgain]

@13thomasfan Even more glaringly, if this were completely faithful to the RWS, the Narrow Gauge engines would have different paintjobs (mostly red). To be honest, I tend to think of this adaptation as a mix of the RWS, ERS and TV Series universes.

Again, like everything you do, is a glimmering shine of Trainz in the dim world of those little kids who buy Trainz for Thomas >>

[RailRaider1]

Another winning Trainz video here, chap - lots of lovely scenes and good to get the word out for the ERS too. Of course, it's never uncommon to see a difference between written word and the "televised" version whatever the book or series - though at least you're still faithful to your own text ;)

Hahah I love the read on the last line. This whole thing was exception I don't know how I missed it. Brilliantly done!

[Zaphodraptor]

This one's amazing!!! Could you please try book 42 in the RWS?

[CraneProductions27]

That was brilliant, a great adaptation story and I loved the joke you made at the end about 'Duncan getting his own branch line'.

Who were the 2 black engines at 3:52 & 4:08?

[Damocles178]

@TheKipperRunsAgain Yes it's always nice to have scenes that make the audience think about what's going on because sometimes there's more to a scene than meets the eye :)
