Since Sam upon his introduction was portrayed as the biggest and strongest engine on Sodor at the time you would expect him to think highly of himself and look down at others (Not mentioning any names) but I was surprised how he was still one of the nicest characters to bear such a status.
Edit: He would still hold the record since Deltics are never seen, shown or mentioned in the show Unfortunately.
a "Gentle Giant" personality i like to call it
Deltics? A steam engine that big could kill him.
Such a big steam engine would be picky to curves, therefore it's still not good as deltics. Also you can use a pair of deltics if you really need that amount of traction.
Well sam is based on an articulate engine and not a solid frame or duplex. Therefore sam would still be better than 2 deltics
He’s based on the 2nd most powerful steam engine ever built, he could probably outpull 3 or 4 Deltics
Best part is: They only used a fraction of Sam's power. If it wasn't for how utterly ridiculous the length of the train would be, pretty sure he would've hauled all the materials needed in one trip.
On that note, a meme I found some time ago:
Thomas: "Sam, what's that screaming noise I hear?"
Sam: "Oh that's the British Loading Gauge crying in agony from my 389 metric tons, Thomas."
Damn. I told you the tracks and the roundhouses here aren't big enough to accept you, Sam!
Don't you mean *I M P E R I A L ?*
@@windusbindo Hey now, don't shoot the messenger, I'm just quoting the meme.
@@windusbindo Damn. Yes the brits uses imperal measures.
@@phoenixarian8513 'Murica
Despite not liking Big World Big Adventures I was actually surprised by the fact that Sam returned, it was nice seeing him again even though it bothered me a bit that Thomas didn’t even seem to remember Sam.
He probably forget that Sam was in sodor
@@curious5887for real! It bugged me he didn’t say hi
I'm honestly surprised Murdoch and Neville weren't in this, especially Murdoch considering his class holds a record for hauling the heaviest train in Britain. But this video was very interesting to watch, keep up the amazing work! :)
Gordon wasn't even in it.
Actually surprisingly enough they don’t even make it to to lower five (I was surprised too)
Murdoch/BR Class 9F: 39,667 lbf (176.45 kN)
Henry/LMS Stanier/Black 5: 25,455 lbf (113.23 kN)
Neville/BR Class Q1: 30,080 lbf (133.80 kN)
And to be fair the first engine he listed was an American engine so ofc they have stupid amounts of strength compared to BR locomotives
@@ItsDaJax
Gordon/A1/A3(or A0): 29,835 lbf (132.71 kN)
A3: 30,362 lbf (135.06 kN)
I’m not actually sure what to base him on considering he’s not exactly either of them since he is a Prototype of these classes (Hence the title of A0) but I’d give him about 134-33 since he’s the prototype of these classes.
@@ItsDaJaxHe's a passenger engine, let him go please 😅
Henry casually pulling both spam can & bear.
such a chad
@@CosmicOffical mustn't forget pushing Hiro with bad coal as well.
@@CosmicOfficalHenry really said “🍷🗿💪”
@@CosmicOffical what about Edward in the adventure begins? He was able to push Gordon with a goods train even though Gordon wasn’t moving
@@verstehenrefulgente4993plot convenience
Never thought Caitlin was stronger than Connor in terms of tractive effort, damned, but the fact that you put American anthems on Hank is very funny yet fitting and catchy
Also, Caitlin did pulled freight train, specifically Percy mail trains and Henry freight train in the episode 'Calm Down Caitlin', so her strength isn't entirely elusive, and she seems pulled it smoothly, also, what is the anthem on Hank list?
Caitlin is based off P7A Pacific while Connor is based off a J3 Hudson. Caitlin has 50k lbs of tractive effort compared to the less beefed up Hudsons having 41k so it kinda makes sense
I’m sad that Gordon, Henry, & Hiro weren’t on the list.
Fun fact: I'm fairly certain Ferdinand is the only (American) geared steam engine representative in the franchise. He's a Climax-class, quite a rarity among already rare engines.
But that always leaves me wondering: why weren't any other geared steamies represented? Thanks to the power of CGI modeling, a member or two of the Shay/Willamette-class engines could have been easily included. Their unique design and incredible gripping power (they have climbed grades of almost 20%) would have made them welcome additions.
Perhaps there would have been need to clean up some congested forests in the mountainous regions of Sodor. The Shays were custom-designed for this exact scenario, hauling men and equipment into a rugged and mountainous area, and bringing them and freshly cut logs back. Seeing one or two with their majestic whistles and enormous smoke outputs would have made my day.
Funnily enough, Ferdinand's fellow engines (Bash and Dash, I believe) are based off of the "Falk" engine from the Bear Harbour Lumber co., which also ran a bizarre geared engine with a front-mounted bull gear. There's a video of it on RUclips somewhere, I'll see if I can find the link.
Yeah I figured the Virginian locomotive was gonna get it. The kind of grades and loads they had to tackle are massively impressive to this day.
Although I did want to ask about that electric locomotive in The Great Race. I do remember hearing that the Peel Godred line enlisted some of them, in part, due to their handling of steeper gradients. Think its to do with their better power output.
Too bad sodor(britain) is mostly not electrified.
The Peel Godred branch is indeed electrified because of the grades, but it’s not quite as simple as electrics being more powerful. Electric (and diesel electric) locomotives make the most tractive effort at low speeds, while steam and diesel hydraulics only make peak tractive effort at top speed, and it’s that starting effort advantage that has made diesel electric the world standard.
EDIT: The tractive effort for Etinne’s basis, SNCF BB 9004, doesn’t seem to be posted anywhere despite the engine being preserved. However, the BB 9200 class that followed them had a peak of ~300kN - I don’t blame the creators for leaving him out in lieu of an official hard number though.
Sam: C&O 1309 class 3
Big boy: are you challanging me? (Proceeds to pull 100+ cars)
As a resident of Ottawa, I got the chance to see the U4A 6400 that inspired Vinnie at the National Science Museum here. His real basis is enormous!! And if I recall correctly, I even got to go in his cab
Wow
I feel like Murdoch should've been on this list. Along with a few others, such as Gordon, Hiro, etc.
Actually, he only has 176 KN
Murdoch, Hurricane, Derek and Hiro almost made the list.
@@henriquefernandesbreves6003 Murdoch?
@@CosmicOffical What stopped them from making the list?
@@joeleboeuf probably not having enough tractive effort
Funny thing is that Sam is considered a small articulated engine. One engine that would be amazing to see in this universe is the Big Boy class 4-8-8-4, 300 psi superheated steam engines. In other words the UP 4000-4024
0:47 idk why but this scene is one of my favorites in T&F. James, Percy and Thomas ascending the mountain together. It’s actually kinda beautiful.
Mostly I always assumed more longer and larger tender engines like Gordon, Henry, Spencer, Flying Scotsman, Hiro, Murdoch, Sam, Merlin, etc to be stronger engines or diesels like Bear, Derek and BoCo to pull longer trains whether its trucks or coaches.
I knew that Catlin was going to be in this list because the only time I can remember her pulling trucks was in "Calm down Catlin" where she pulled the mail train and The Flying Kipper in 1 night.
Thomas did pull longer goods trains in "Journey beyond Sodor" and in the BWBA movie.
Spencer only pulled trucks in "Hero of the rails" and "The beast of Sodor".
Percy did pull the express twice. 1st was with Thomas and Duck in "Triple header" and 2nd was in "Dowager Hatt's busy day".
Samson did the same thing to in "Samson at your service".
I thought Henry was gonna get a place in the top 10 because he pushed a super long and heavy train with Hiro on the front, Hiro broke down due to using a bad coal... Henry was using the same coal and pushed this mighty train including Hiro up Gordon's hill... What a strengh
This is interesting Hiro is 2-8-2 which is usually stronger than Henry's 4-6-0.
@@phoenixarian8513Right in the comment... "Hiro broke down due to using a bad coal." If he was working, then yes he would be, he's as fast as Spencer, too.
@@ItsDaJax I mean the consist designed for Hiro to haul might be too heavy for Henry. After all Henry has a pair of driving wheels less.
Also: This is steam age and for these rank of engines the train won't be very heavy. I guess that's 500 tons at most. However if Henry wants to rescue this train he needs to also pull Hiro away...yep the weight of Hiro can't be ignored.
The mix of the proper radio voice and jokes that come out of nowhere is exactly how this content should be delivered
If the UP Big Boy 4014 appeared, he would be the strongest, especially that time the Articulated 4-8-8-4 pushed a stalled freight train along with his own excursion train up a hill
Funny thing is that if you ever did cover the main sodor engines' real life basis, you will discover contradicting tractive effort from what the fandom really thought, such as James' basis (Lyr Class 28) having 27,406 lbf (121.9 kN) compare to Henry (Black five) with 25,455 lbf (113.23 kN). (Damn Henry's weak). I could go on more with what I discovered but I don't to make this comment too long. Just thought it be appropriate time to share this weird fact.
Yup! It's very surprisingly what the facts are.
Despite this, the LMS classified the L&YR Class 28s as 3F and the Black Fives as 5MT (5P5F).
However, if you want to use a much more appropriate alternative basis for James, look no further than the GCR 9J (LNER J11), physical appearance, tractive effort and all.
Poor Henry, 😢
damn the fact that emily wasn't showed here in these list even tho she managed to stop caitlyn when her brakes failed and also enduring a heavy flatbeds where Donald and dougles were fighting dang she is underratted
Absolute banger! I love the visuals, narration and presentation. Combined with the fascinating premise makes a truly staggering vid. Consider me impressed (especially as I know how long it took to create this lol)
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@CosmicOfficalhiro is also the strongest engine
@@briandesens144hiros not the strongest in fact far from it
@@clayv5422 clearly you have not seen hero of the rails then 🙄 and why did you reply to my comment on this video
Sam is a BEAST!! If they added a 4014 Union Pacific Big Boy character, they would be the strongest by far. Sucks that we never got a character modeled after that train
That's what he is.
@@ItsDaJax no Sam is a 2-6-6-6 AG “Blue Ridge” class steam locomotive
True
according to HYCE the NPR/SPR and DM&IR YELLOWSTONE ( Whyte Notation 2-8-8-4) is stronger than the UP BIG BOYS/Wasatch (Whyte Notation 4-8-8-4)
2:08 fun fact: the tender from J1 number 5313 actully survived. it is at steamtown Nationial historic site in scraation pa.
3:06 Those surviving engines are 1361 and 3750. 3750 is rusting at starsburg Pa, whille 1361 is at altonna getting a new life at chance (being restroed to working order, so you might see one of these run again.
12:57 The railway wasnt the only using heck they didint ivent the 2-6-6-6 wheel layout, that was actully the chespake and ohio railway. 1604 and 1601 are still around, but none of the blue ridges survived into present day.
Ah yes steamtown the home for the most generic steam whistle of all
Belongings to 3254
Remember that steam engine and diesel hydraulics (Bear, Diesel 10) make peak tractive effort at speed (the exact speed depends on design), while diesel electrics (Boco, Class 40, Spamcan) and electric locomotives can make full tractive effort at 0MPH. They can’t sustain it indefinitely or once they get moving due to how electric motors work, but that makes them even better at starting trains than the peak tractive effort alone implies.
Also something to consider: the Class 66 which does most UK freight duties these days has a peak tractive effort of 406kN, and the 66/6 subclass has 467kN. Your typical American freight diesel like the SD70ACe or ES44AC meanwhile has ~810kN, and can get close to 1000kN in heavyweight versions.
YIKES THATS A LOT
Is anybody not going to talk about the fact that Neville (133.8 kN) and James (121.9 kN) are stronger than Henry (113.2 kN) in terms of tractive effort despite the size difference (although I doubt they had better adhesion). Plus, I feel Gordon is supposed to be an unrebuilt Gresley A1 (132.7 kN) rather than A3 and if that's the case Neville would be slightly stronger than he is! Plus, not all the Gresley A3s had the same power output due to differing cylinder diameters.
Furthermore, the reason there are so many diesels in this list is because they tend to have a very high maximum *starting* tractive effort but they lose force very quickly when gaining speed probably much more than a steam engine. In reality, the Class 40s were revealed to be subpar and underpowered when compared to the express steams engines at the time (such as Gresley A3s and A4s) despite having larger starting tractive effort.
A more appropriate basis for James would be the GCR 9J/LNER J11 (though unintentional, it is coincidentally more fitting given the illustrations' depiction of James), which has a tractive effort of up to 97.68 kN. Still strong enough for mixed-traffic duties, but at least not to point where he somehow overpowers Henry, even by a slight margin.
@@LazyOldFusspot_3428 I agree however I forgot to mention that Awdry has give James larger driving wheels which does knock down his power a bit below Henry’s and I think it’s more appropriate especially when he is described as a mixed traffic engine.
I don't think a lot of the locos are canon to their real life counterparts... Thomas wouldn't have a branch line if that were the case.
Amazing Video! as always when Thomas and Percy were laughing at Diesel Made Me Laugh!🤣
now THIS is why i subbed, your voice reminds me of a motivational speaker with tons of enthusiasim, and your videos are no way at all bad or rushed, just good videos all around. also, could you do ranked on what engine is the hardest to operate based on control design, cooperation, and personality/mood.
Ooooo that's a brilliant idea! I'll consider it!
@@CosmicOffical Noice!
Great video as always 👍
I think Connor is a really underrated character
Another great video the editing is great! Also, i adore that new pfp 😍
Thank you so much!
What I really thought Murdoch would for sure be in this list!
Fun fact: my identical twin brother's name is Connor (1:27)
Nice video man, I watched a couple of videos just yesterday and you earned my sub. By any chance if you accept ideas for future videos, could you do an "all characters dead/scrapped/missing in T&F Franchise" ???
I was waiting for this
I don't think comparing the power of these engines solely through tractive effort does it justice.
For many of these engines, there is a difference in their designs. Some engines (Murdoch, for instance) were born and built as heavy freight engines, while others (Such as Hank) were designed as passenger engines.
Some engines will likely be able to haul more freight, while others can provide a faster and smoother ride for their passengers.
Comparing the strength of a passenger engine with the strength of a freight engine is like apples and oranges. Both are really good at their designed roles but wouldn't do as well with much else.
As an example, the A3s had a power rating of 7P6F. This meant that they could perform most passenger work, but they would want something stronger for heavy freight.
It takes more raw power to haul a heavy freight train, but that same power without modification would give passengers a rough ride.
With Vinnie having 233kns, it's known that US Steam Locomotives, with the Union Pacific 4014, having 602.18 kilonewtons/602,180 newtons/135,375 pounds-force of Tractive Effort
Great work! I really thought I was going to see Spencer, Neville, Shane or Frieda.
*Love that you added the 20th century fox theme over when discussing about boco cuz his theme kinda sound like the same*
yeah that's exactly why i did it 😂
0:21
"He thinks is the world's strongest engine"
Both Thomas and Percy: *dies laughing*
I love the remix of the national anthem at hanks part 😂 it fits

Awesome vid
I was expecting to see Gordon and Hiro somewhere on this list.
i've had this thought once or twice, great to see there's finally an answer!
👍
*Goku summones* “I heard your the strongest”.
I guess Catlin and Conor are stronger than Hiro, you *never* fail to amaze me Cosmic!❤
the edieted shots are amazing🤩
Actually, Sam only appeared in the show once, he only appeared in BWBA
Honestly I thought Gordon would be in this list😭 Great video btw!!!
Gordon was 5 slots down from being on the list. So pretty close in retrospect! :)
@@CosmicOffical Ohh he'll always the strongest character in my heart 😭🤣
When Vinnie appears “bad boys bad boys, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you bad boys bad boys”
9:06-I know that song beat anywhere, that is the song “Bad Boys (theme from cops)” and it really fits the bully himself!
Yeah i saw an edit on youtube with the bad boys theme with vinnie and now i can't help but associate the song with him ahaha
I’d love to see Thomas or any of the other trains travel to 1950s america and watch a Big Boy haul a mile long 150+ car train up the Wasatch mountains like nobody’s business.
i love the thumbnail with connor. also i love the fact that all the britsh rail diesels i like such as boco or d199 bear d261 all of them its cool to learn there as strong as big american engines witch are also very cool. its very to know d199 is as strong as sam tho
Cosmic you deserve more subs then you have man keep going
Thank you! 🩵
Who is the weakest character in thomas and friends
Hiro, the JNR class D51, has a tractive effort of 118kn.
Henry, a Stanier Black Five, has a tractive effort of 116kn.
Gordon, a Gresley A1, has a tractive effort of 133kn.
In Henry's Hero, Hiro breaks down with a heavy steel train after getting bad coal. Henry, similarly burning bad coal, managed to push both the heavy cars *AND HIRO* over a big hill. This, much like "Super Rescue" in the Railway Series, was Henry's strongest moment.
Gordon is a strong engine too, capable of pulling as many as ten fully loaded BR Class 1 Composite coaches at speeds nearing 100mph.
I'm surprised that there was never a Big Boy locomotive in this series.
That is probably because a Big Boy would pulverize, weaken, and destroy/would not fit through any of Sodor’s tracks, bridges, and tunnels respectively. The sheer amount of damage a character based on a Big Boy would cause (regardless of if it was intentional or unintentional) might be enough to cause Sodor to experience a local economic recession from the train’s weight alone. And that is not including how the Big Boy would quite possibly/literally tear up the tracks if he tries to move. :þ.
@@asmodai2025 hence why such a thing would be a one off
11:47 when the giant balloon/inflatable snowman designed specifically to fly away actually flies away:

If there were 3 trains I wish could be added in this series it would be the VGN EL 3a electric loco that had a 7000hp engine. The GE UP GTEL GEN 3 for its sheer mass and weight. And the LNER class U1 Garrat as it’s another heavy hauler.
I’d honesty like to see a Pennsylvania railroad class GG1 or one of those Canadian national diesels.
@@MarisRUclips2003 Brit aren't electrified that's the biggest trouble. Also their tracks may not be strong enough to carry American locos axle load...
@@phoenixarian8513 well they managed to bring a 0 series Shinkansen and a 2-6-6-6 AG Blue Ridge to the railway which are extremely big locomotives and they managed like nothing
@@MarisRUclips2003 Who knows after all it's not real.
But Shinkansen is actually multiple unit and it doesn't need strong tracks but straight tracks. Yep this MU is not that heavy on axle load. The 2-6-6-6 is the real problem here.
You could have included Murdoch at least as an honorable mention but ok very good video
0:24 0:33 😂 it's only the introduction im laughing
Amazing video, I knew Sam is the strongest all because he can pull so many freight cars and it will be nice you included Shane and Murdoch in the video since they’re pretty strong
I’m waiting for the day the Union Pacific “big boy” gets introduced
Funny that Murdoch's like: OH NOOOOO!!!
Sam: Im the Strongest Steam Engine in the World (445kN)
Big Boy: Are you sure about that? (602kN)
What do you use to make your pfp’s? There absolutely stunning!
Photoshop
What about Frieda, Shane or Yong Bao, I mean they were in the movie during season 20 premiere and they did take part in the Strongest Engine Competition?
Oh and I forgot to mention another Diesel in Railway Series named the Old Stuck Up, he also is a strong diesel.
But still very glad you highlighted the Railway Series Characters also😊
I like how you got the bad boys soundtrack playing over Vinnie that really suits him
Hiro causally pushing henry and heavy cars on bad coal

it was nice to know that Sam was the strongest... also liked it that he didnt let it get to his head. shame he never got more screen time but i guess it was done cos he was so OP that he would solved many problems the other engines had easily and the stories would all be about him saving the day!!!
I liked the video but it really surprised me not to see engines like Gordon, Henry, Murdoch or Hiro.
I was not surprised by the number one spot
Diesel 10 looks like Monster Max as a train
vinnie is not actually from new york because the CN U4A is from canada
Then how strong are Henry, Gordon, Spencer, Hiro, Murdoch, Neville, Frieda, Shane, Hurricane and Yong Bao?
I wonder what Shane has?
