7:48 CNC Machinist here. For anyone wondering, CNC stands for Computer Numeric Control. Basically, if Sir Handel was made on a CNC machine, that means it was a block of metal that was cut/milled into the shape needed for the wheels/chassis on a computerized cutting machine. My guess is that the chassis was machined on a CNC mill, and the wheels turned on a CNC lathe. Probably a live tool capable lathe, given the spokes in the wheels.
@Icy yeah it's bec in the UK dub rusty is male but in the US dub rusty is female. I honestly prefer her as female bec there's almost no female narrow gauge engine in the show
Peter Sam would be a good idea....this weekend is a giant Kerr Stuart reunion on the talyllyn to celebrate peter sam's younger brother Edward Thomas....would be awesome for some more Kerr Stuart content
Like Peter Sam, Sir Handel remained in his Mid-Sodor livery instead of being repainted in the Skarloey Railway's red livery in the TV series. As such, the episode where the trucks crash into Peter Sam makes less sense.
Then again from the height of the incline and the fact the downhill trucks could only see Peter Sam/"Sir Handel" from the front, I still think it makes some sense that they mistook Peter Sam for Sir Handel despite the color difference in the show.
@@Ray_D_Tutto they expected Sir Handel since it's implied he works at the incline and thus when he pretended to be ill Peter Sam was doing his job there.
Great video as usual! Sir Handel really has a lot more to him in the RWS and its a shame that he wasn't in the TVS longer. I feel it also meant that Duncan from S6-S9 just got given all the stories Sir Handel would have gotten. Can't wait to see the SR number 4, my boy Peter Sam in the next one of these!
I’m fucking drunk while watching this and it’s taking me a long time to type this (what with autocorrect and all), but it’s calming. Keep ‘em coming boi. It’s a way for all of us train nerds to keep our childhood alive in these horrible times. Bless you boi, bless you for all your content 🙏❤️
2:10 wait did you just say that Sir Handel was taken apart? Like physically taken apart piece by piece? How did they take him apart and how did they not kill him?
I don’t think they ACTUALLY took him apart piece by piece; but more maybe took a section off of his boiler and used him as an example of how the engines worked or something along those lines.
@@willemdakevin1681 The firebars are the grate that the fire sits on top of. The fact he dropped it (burning coal and all!), is quite impressive. In real life, 'Sir Haydn' was partially stripped in 1951, losing the cab, saddle tank & boiler lagging for an inspection. I imagine this is what they meant?
^^ He’s spot on! I wasn’t the most familiar with them myself before I did the research haha. I also would like to think it was that that inspired Sir Handel to be taken apart? However I wasn’t able to find a direct correlation myself. Given how Awdry wrote the other stories though it would make perfect sense!
Great video. Of course, the name Sir Handel is a play on Haydn and Handel being composers, but of course the loco's name is welsh so pronounced hey-den and the composer's name is austrian so pronounced high-den. And the name Falcon was chosen because Sir Haydn was made at the Falcon works, like Edward Thomas was made by Kerr Stuart hence the name Stuart.
TrainBoy thank you for doing the history and the model of Sir Handel, I've been waiting for this for almost a long time or a while since the Rheneas video. Basically Skarloey, Rheneas and Sir Handle are my favorite characters. Thank you for finally making a video about Sir Handel, I am very very happy
I never noticed the face-swapping for him. I never saw that large-scale model, too. I always wondered where Sir Handel went. It was because he didn't have a model. Shame, that.
Sir Handel wearing an eyepatch answered my question that always bothered me, if the faces have similar feelings to our faces. So it’s a nice bit of confirmation i took from this video.
I met one of the people who helped build Sir Handel’s closeup model, Gareth Hutchinson. He is the Computer Animation lecturer of my university, the University of Soyth Wales. He’s an amazing guy and an absolute legend. He even invited me into his office yesterday and showed me his portfolio. He also built the main narrow gauge Engine Sheds, the viaduct and even did an amazing illustration of Sir Handel. He’ll be leaving USW soon now.😢
I think i understand how the Battery Receiver is hidden off screen. Here is what i think: The models dont have enough room to fit the Reciever so when it is hiddden off screen, a plug is connected to the Battery, this lets the battery be unplugged or Plugged in. When it is unplugged, the Eye Mech wont work. This could be true since when they are moving by them selves, their eyes dont move at all, this is because the receiver is unplugged, however when they are not moving and dont have any Rolling Stock behind them, the reciever is plugged back into the mech and hidden behind the engine to prevent it from being seen.
interesting how the US narration differs so much, that last clip of Sir Handle saying "actually I'm better" is delivered in a much more condescending way in the Michael Angelis narration
sir handel was gonna appear in series 5 but was cut (he had a series 5 model), he was gonna appear in series 6 but he was cut again (he had a series 6 model), he was gonna appear in series 8 but he was cut again the 3rd time (he had a series 8 model), and he was gonna appear in kevin the steamie but was cut

sir Handel . The only character to get banished to the shadow realm
Dont forget toby
@@IDKstudious oh yeah
Much better.
@@Foxing_Around the tunnel is not a shadow realm but close
Don't forget Boco, Murdoch, Arthur, Dennis, Molly, Neville, George, and Bulgy.
I hope to see Rusty soon. He's my personal favorite Narrow Gauge engine.
Rusty has one of my favourite themes in the narrow gauge railway
Isn't calling an engine rusty like naming a human tuberculosis?
I see that one engine with a gender unknown to the people that made the show.
Good engine
@Icy yeah it's bec in the UK dub rusty is male but in the US dub rusty is female. I honestly prefer her as female bec there's almost no female narrow gauge engine in the show
"I'm banishing you to the Shadow Realm."
-The Unlucky Tug.
NOOOOOOOO!
5:00 I don’t know why but I really like the colour scheme on that version of sir handel/falcon
Sir Handle
Being sent to the shadow realm since 2021
Peter Sam would be a good idea....this weekend is a giant Kerr Stuart reunion on the talyllyn to celebrate peter sam's younger brother Edward Thomas....would be awesome for some more Kerr Stuart content
“I’m banishing you to the Shadow Realm!”
“NooooOOOOOoooOOO!!!”
“Much better!”
"I'm banishing you to the Shadow Realm!"
"NOPE!"
"Bother! Bother--"
"Better."

Or maybe the trucks can't see the colour green
The trucks are blue green colourblind
Then again from the height of the incline and the fact the downhill trucks could only see Peter Sam/"Sir Handel" from the front, I still think it makes some sense that they mistook Peter Sam for Sir Handel despite the color difference in the show.
@@DaimosZ Maybe they just expected Sir Handel to be there rather than confused Peter Sam for him.

Had four accidents and dipped for five seasons. Boss.
I'm so glad sir Handel has been fully preserved in model form.
10:10 I'm happy that Sir Handel and Peter Sam are together forever.♥

It's nice to know that both his small and large scales models are in a good place
Going over the back story and the small changes to the model in the tv show are great additions to this history of series.
He’s still better than George after a decade
Considering you’ve now done Skarloey, Rheneas, and Sir Handel in order, you should probably continue on up through the numbers to Peter Sam next.
I've always seen Sir Handel as a very underrated, or over hated, of the Skarloey Railway engines.
Ah yes, my second favorite Thomas character. If TheUnluckyTug did an analysis video I would flip. I love Sir Handel.
2:10 wait did you just say that Sir Handel was taken apart? Like physically taken apart piece by piece? How did they take him apart and how did they not kill him?

@@ItsTrainBoy interesting, also what are fire bars? You said that Sir Handel shook them off so I'm assuming they were attached to him

I'd like to see Peter Sam next
Brilliant. I would like to see Peter Sam next
I would have liked to have seen Sir Handel with an eyepatch and bandage in the TV series.
I literally thought that Sir Handel and Sir Haydn were named after composers
Really feels like a month of narrow gauge lately, hasn't it? Nice video as always!
I'd like to see Peter Sam next! Let's do all Four of the Little Engines!
TrainBoy thank you for doing the history and the model of Sir Handel, I've been waiting for this for almost a long time or a while since the Rheneas video.

_”Nooo….”_

Nice
Stop
You forgot “Anth”
Oh on!!!!
Bother that didn’t work
Sir Handel. The only engine to out-Gordon, Gordon.
1:59 - 2:03 I wish the scene was edited this way in the original.
I never noticed the face-swapping for him.

WE NEED A REMAKE OF DUNCAN GETS SPOOKED, WITH SIR HANDEL IN IT 😮
Peter Sam next
Followed by Rusty
Followed by Duncan
After that I can’t say I care about the newer narrow gauge characters much
You didn’t discuss Sir Handel’s Season 10 persona.
That doesn’t really affect his model lol, though it wouldn’t have hurt I suppose fair point
The best RUclipsr
Big week for the Narrow Guage Engines! 1st the UnluckyTugs Giant Skarloey history, Now Sir Handels Model History!

1:06 Is that yellow thing Duncan or another engine I never noticed?
interesting how the US narration differs so much, that last clip of Sir Handle saying "actually I'm better" is delivered in a much more condescending way in the Michael Angelis narration
Same with the George Carlin narration
Sir Handel was my favourite narrow gauge engine
Duncan would be cool to see he’s my favorite engine
My fav narrow gauge character! On my birthday too! Nice
i literally like it that you put TCF at the start
Sir Haden seems to have gotten a new green livery along with Thomas Edward as of a 2023 visit
2:34 YES LETS GO
You are my favorite channel on RUclips
Another day another TrainBoy video
Sir Handel 💙
Sir Topham Hatt: I’m banishing you to shadow realm!
How about we get a more easy one for you to do like Freddie or Mighty-Mac?
"Fusspot, Fusspot, Fusspot!"
Fuddy-duddy! Fuddy-duddy! Fuddy-duddy!
I’m banishing you to the Shadow Realm
Nooooo!!!
Love to see Dunkin next ! Out off all of the engines other than rusty as off course he's a fan favourite , Big Dunkin boy is my favourite
You mean duncan
How's your Diesel project getting on?
What happened to the Weekly Kipper?
I haven’t been ordering as much stuff; and what I have been is for model reveals rather than just little stuff.
@@ItsTrainBoy OK, I can't wait to see your custom Percy model too.
He my favorite too And you can get yourself a casual playground for handle you will not regret it
Peter Sam next perhaps?
Who else? He is doing these narrow gauge engines, numerically, after all.
How about Fearless Freddie?
Banish him to the shadow realm!
NoOo
Botheeeeeer
But smudged just laughed .. hahahah , but I mean I know it would be short but how about smudged origins ?
Ah Yes Smudged The Mid-Sodor's Least Behaved
Can we get Duncan next??
"Im banishing you to the shadow realm"
Can't wait to see if they did thomas.
so he's basically the master shake of thomas and friends
Sir mandel
The eagle locomotive builders mandalorian class steam engine
I can’t wait to get bachmann sir handel when he out
I used to have a Take N Play Sir Handel
sir handel was gonna appear in series 5 but was cut (he had a series 5 model), he was gonna appear in series 6 but he was cut again (he had a series 6 model), he was gonna appear in series 8 but he was cut again the 3rd time (he had a series 8 model), and he was gonna appear in kevin the steamie but was cut
Amazing
Is it me or did his face eventually change
Oh there's me but newer
You’re still the elite
@@ItsTrainBoy thank you love the content btw
I used to think Sir Handel was an ancestor of Thomas and Peter Sam of Percy.
Sir Handel: Wait. What are you doing
The one that was banished to the shadow realm
I suppose Peter Sam is next?
I believe you got the number of faces for the large scale model of sir handel incorrect.
Sr handle was called falcon cause of his class name being a falcon class same with Peter Sam called Stewart being a karr Stewart class
great video
What about Peter Sam he should be next in line.
If you've not already done him yet, I'd like to find out more about Duke o.o
Heres an interesting one, Smudger/Stanley next OR Bertram
Smudger would be a neat short doco to do
Cool very good
Did he get unbanned yet?
Finally my favourite ng character
ALRIGHT!!!!
Thank God you did not add the Banish Shadow realm Joke
Try doing Duncan next.
Please do Fearless Freddie or Mighty Mac next
Could you Please do Mavis?
how do you get this information?
Can't wait for dunken
Can you do rusty and Peter Sam
Can you do proteus something in the future
