The Sudrian French Connection (Trainz Stories)

I got the inspiration of the story when I watched the 1964 movie, The Train, that focuses on the French Resistance. Murdoch is curious about a load that Edward brought over to Knapford, which is a memorial to five members of The French Resistance that trained for Railway services on Sodor, Jean-Paul Bosard (motivated by the death of his brother Gaston), Raymond Durelles, Pierre Verrecq, Marc Chirac and Augustin-Luc Hervé. Edward then would tell Murdoch the story about 'Les cinq hommes' and their training on Sodor. When it was time for D-Day, the men would go over to their homeland to drive trains for the advancing allied armies, and then would serve for SNCF, except for Raymond who would unfortunately be KIA'd near Reims by the retreating German forces. Murdoch is mesmerized by the whole story of the five Frenchmen who trained for the service of their country, and the liberation of France.
This is where you hear my French abilities, and if I make any mistakes, then désolé.

As a French person I can say your French was really impressive and the story was really good as well.

[@toothlessthebestdragon17]

I'm French too lmao, an interesting and funny story, good job and you speak French well

[@eliotreader8220]

Hello

[@geobluecropperstudios6784]

Wow. I've never heard you speak French and I want to learn how to speak French, Spanish, and other languages too. But the good story about the French Resistance where coming to the Island of Sodor and making up the training of driving trains. But when I was driving trains in real life, I feared that it would be a big risk especially when I miscalculated and caused a serious accident by driving any trains or locomotive attending, that's what I'm worrying about in the future...so yeah. Anyway, the story was also inspired by the 1964 movie "The Train" known as the French version "Le Train" and there's the French movie in 1946 which is called "La Bataille du Rail" which means in English "The Battle of the Rails" and it was similarities to "The Train" 1964 film. Oh boy, but what should I expect in that crash sequence from La Bataille du Rail was so incredible and I might say in 3 words "Best Movie Ever" The Train 1964 was also the best film here and they got many crash sequences in the movie. And add to, I felt that La Bataille du Rail and The Train are both similarities with the two films.

Finally, a World War II Trainz Story, Thank You and please make more WW2 Trainz Stories, when you think of any mate.

[@dougsfilmtv9810]

That was amazing and have a Thomas story set in WW2 is fantastic. I really like how you based this story from a movie, and I did not know about this.

[@mssskearg8299]

That is true on the Black Liveries during the Second World War, cause due to austerity measures put in place as a result of the war, all the engines of the NWR had to be painted black, since black paint was cheaper to purchased. I could tell because the engines are all dirty and their paint works are rundown.

[@Edward2Fan47]

It's a pity not one of them came back to Sodor after the war and worked on the NWR.

[@slayerdearly]

Wow I thank I’ve learned a few new French words thanks

[@stephenfarthing3819]

Edward resolved it!

[@brianfalzon6739]

[@stephenfarthing3819]

Interesting!

[@stephenfarthing3819]

I think that it's lucky that Percy held no hard feelings, but oops!

[@stephenfarthing3819]

Oh dear! James is not being helpful with it. Still this is quite aggravating for him.

[@stephenfarthing3819]

Henry is also tracked off.

Why is James black when Percy is present?

[@GresleyStanierProductions35]

Maybe it was his punishment for being rude or something.

[@geobluecropperstudios6784]

That's because it was a timeline of how Germans invaded France. James was wearing black because it was a warfare livery instead of a red livery and Percy was helping out at Sodor or somewhere else on Sodor during the war. I hope it was understanding about that video here.

[@jeremiahsisaias8677]

@@geobluecropperstudios6784I think the TSI Hybrid James and Gordon have a wartime black livery.
Maybe Edward, Gordon and Percy will get updated with that livery and some others they dont have in the future.

[@geobluecropperstudios6784]

@jeremiahsisaias8677 Yeah true. But I hope that TVS Hybrid is on The Sudrian Industries' website soon or later, imagine if it was predicted that "TVS Hybrid" was on the "TRAINZ" list.
