Story changes aside, I really love how Gordon and Duck are literally sharing one braincell with each other over a subject they cannot agree on. Such a fun dynamic.
I'm sure it was about the huge row between Gordon and Duck than the actual station names themselves. Still, I still find it hilarious how Gordon and Duck are clashing egos with each other.
Gordon and Duck: *Arguing about the Big City's Main Station* Henry: Should we tell them? Thomas: Nah. I'm just enjoying this show. Cam (My OC): They're just sharing one braincell at this point. For those desiring context, Cam is an OC I created. His engine class is an E3 Tank Engine; a modification of the E2, which is Thomas' Class. The modification the E3 have is: Running on oil instead of coal by using the oil to power a furnace that heats up the water. Cam was the prototype E3 Tank Engine and he was experimented to see how well electricity would work in Steam Trains. The way that works is that when the wheels turn, it's slowly generating electricity that is stored in a power box. Once the box is full, the Driver presses a button in the cab with a gauge that can only be activated when the gauge is full. Once the button is pressed, the electricity is forced back into the wheels, making the engine faster and stronger than usual. Cam is the only one of his class though. The common theory as to why is because of accidental file mismanagement so the creators couldn't get his stats to see if he was a success or not. Because of this, no more of the E3s were ever built. Unlike Gordon, Cam didn't let the novelty go to his smokebox. In terms of Cam's personality, he's a friendly, helpful, and hard-working engine that always gets his job done. Because of this, he is extremely relied on when other engines ( *Coughs* James) refuse to do their work. He can get quite angry when his friends are hurt or threatened, but he'll do his best to make things right again. Sorry about rambling for so long. I just put a lot of thought into my OC. I first created him in 2020 in Minecraft, along with a bunch of other official and fan characters, and I'm still going with creating more characters. I probably won't talk about them, but I might change my decision on that. I hope everyone enjoys reading about my Thomas OC.
I love how Gordon's only idea for an "ethical" way to get to London is asking Henry if he could take his goods train only for Henry to immediately shut him down.
This is something else. You have the rare ability to breathe new life into old stories that have been done a thousand times over. You should be immensely proud of the work you've done here. THIS is what adaptations should be, not word-for-word Willie Rushton over Blue Train with Friends with Gordon's Season 1 theme by S.A. Music. Well done!
Yea. It may be hypocritical for me to say since I primarily film with BTWF (I don’t have Trainz…), but you’re speaking the truth. Those BTWF Recreations are just that. Remakes, 1-1 recreations, with the only music coming from SA Music because it sounds like Thomas. THIS video is an adaptation, taking notes from the source, but changing things up to make it fresh and different.
This was such a funny yet inspiring adaptation. Having Donald take on the role of the Big City Engine was a unique choice and that bit with the Hit Era learning segment was cute. Also the fact that Gordon and Duck never stopped arguing in the sheds about St. "Pancreas" was just hilarious. Wonderful work!
It took me SO long to notice that the engines have colored irises. I was wondering why the pupils were so large, but frankly, I like it! Adds a more realistic look to the engines that I personally like.
Nice touch having Donald in this as an engine from the other Railway as he certainly was for a time. As an Engine that would have once served under LMS it makes sense that he would have been sent to Euston if he was going to visit London at all. All in all a very refreshing way to breath new life into a classic story.
Absolutely loved this. Having the visitor be Donald was an inspired choice, and I love how you expanded the dynamic between Duck amd Gordon. I adored the last scene especially, and also the new sets (especially the Vicarstown bridge). Overall an amazing adaptation, such a treat to watch!
It never fails to amaze me just how incredible your takes on stories are, i actually prefer this over the original Every scene with Duck and Gordon was absolute gold
This has to be one of the most unique adaptations of Gordon Goes Foreign. For one instead of the Big City Engine, it's Donald which serves as a nice set up for 'The Twin Engines'. Second the ending where Gordon and Duck resuming their argument even after Gordon finds out the station name is. That's something other adaptations never did and its a funny addition. 👍
Honestly, I shouldn't even be surprised that you keep blowing me away with each new video you pump out. This was a beautiful adaptation of "Gordon Goes Foreign". The character banter, the visuals, everything really makes this story pop. I really appreciate how you included Duck's reaction to the station name, yet he, and Gordon, are still the same engines, just with different arguments. The subtle bits of humour (such as Gordon's "ethical" way of getting to London) are also worthy of a mention, it's subtle, yet you can still tell when it's happening, that, in my opinion, is the best usage of humour. Having Donald be the foreign engine was a really interesting choice (albeit, one I like). For one, I'm glad you didn't go straight for "Default Douglas", but instead used his visits to Sodor as a subtle set up for the plot, and for another, I'm very appreciative of the fact you didn't use everyone's default for the foreign engine. Also, given Gordon's line as Donald left, I do hope you're considering doing an adaptation of "The Twin Engines", if not, it's something to consider, as that would be a brilliant set up. Honestly though, I'm wasting my time putting my opinions into words, because this wonderful video has taken them right out of my mouth. Brilliant work Rhys, I do hope you'll keep up the go- no, great work. Have a great one my friend.
@@ciarangleeson2880 I more so mean Rhys uses Douglas as a foreign engine quite a few times (Paint Pots & Queens and A Close Shave). Rhys, however, used Douglas' visits as a plot set up for the argument between Gordon, Duck, and Donald.
After seeing their other videos and another video about headcodes, the amount of detail is amazing. More Thomas content creators should be doing more of that
I love your rewritings of classic Railway Series stories. One thing I really miss in the original series and you do it very well is create a relationship between the locomotive and his team, humans and machines have always had a great relationship, it's a shame the original series doesn't focus on that... The expressions of the engines, the music, scenery, everything is just perfect. Keep up the good work.
At 7:21 was the icon sound from a show called Chuggington and the character was called "Vee". I loved watching that show and just hearing that sound brought back good memories. This story itself is truly a masterpiece and keep up the good work!
This was amazing! Interesting to see Donald there! But would make sense if they knew about it in Scotland like..Donald tells Douglas there’s a safe haven which is Sodor because they’ve both been to Vicarstown although I am not 100% ok with that-since yk blah blah sodor n that but I actually like it. To add to that love the engines designs and colour Pupils…🔥🔥🔥🔥 but this was hysterical!! 💀😭
I like the font style of Duck's 5741, and I recognised 57646 as Donald. I found it funny how they argued about what is the TRUE name of the London station, but I'm always like, "Knock it off, you three, when are you going to learn wisely without hissing and swearing around? London IS those four stations, you should learn the map and THEN you'll be proven wrong for all that your worthless argument made." and I imagine Duck meeting Paddington bear at the station and even making him a nice sweet guess to Sodor, he would explain that the bear was named after the station in London he worked at
This is your best video yet, the visuals, the extra parts to the story, the humor, and the music. Gordon run to london was my favorite part of the video. The sound of a speeding train with the coaches following and the music during the whole scene made it perfect
I like how the engine was Donald, I'm more than sure he said this to Douglas "That blue galloping sausage and green waddleing box on wheels has no clue what their talking about".
I love your additions, like the others leaving at the end or Gordon being scolded for putting his passengers in danger. I like how you handle his antics. I adore the montage of him going to London, the shots sometimes feel like you’re right on his train.
This is the peak of your channel Not only I love the backstory of gordon but how the entire story is crafted, it is perfect PS I love that the visiting angines in your stories are always one of the twins, because it fits great into Canon, so that when they escape they know exactly the way to sodor. Great job keep going like this
Absolutely in love with this! I love how you continue incorporated the twins as previously visiting Sodor (Close Shave being the first example). Not to mention the comedy and face mixed is top notch! My only critiques are • The late time placement of the title card into the video: perhaps it could appear at the station with the BCE whizzing past the screen and transitioning to the next shot. • The sudden outburst of aggression from 'Team Euston', which works for a presumed arrogant like BCE in the books who probably work daily trains from the big station. Perhaps a more confused initial response would work for an engine such as Douglas like "King's Cross? I'm sure it was Euston when I was there" and then Gordon being doubtful makes Douglas insist more and more aggressively.
This was very entertaining. I really enjoyed your take on "Gordon Goes Foreign" and the characters used in it. The editing in this is very well done. Now I can't wait for your next instalment. Keep up the great work!
Love this adaptation of Gordon Goes Foreign/Station Squabble, with loads of creative liberity as well with having Donald as the foreign engine bickering with Gordon and Duck, as well as the recreations of the mainland scenes from Journey Beyond Sodor. Stellar work.
that was a phenomenal retelling of gordon goes foreign. the writing was good, but the camera work was something else. really amazing stuff and the sound effects only made it even better. a remarkable story keep up the great work.
I love your adaptations so much and this one was no exception! Thomas stories that follow the typical formula of Awdry’s writing are all well and good, but I love how original your writing feels! The dynamics between the characters are fun, the fact that you voice all of these characters on your own is awesome and the humour is great (I now headcanon that Henry is terrible at shunting thanks to you). Your knowledge and love of these characters really shines through with your storytelling, so keep up the good work! 👍 Side note: I think it would’ve been funny if Thomas came up while the other engines were arguing and said something like “I thought London was Victoria…” before everyone tells him to get lost.
Absolutely amazing adaption my dude! You definitely took this story that’s been done to death before and put a new spin on it! I’ve also realised that the foreign engine is actually Donald before he came to sodor, idk how I didn’t notice that same thing with paint pots and queens I’m guessing, but great job anyway! Oh
This was amazing! I adore the ways you expanded on this story & all the others you've adapted as well as adding on that HiT era flair☺️ Also, those "Thomas & The Royal Engine" mainland locations looked incredible.
I absolutely loved all the unique story changes you made here, plus the scenery, effects, and visuals were excellent as per usual! I especially loved the recreations of the set pieces from 'Journey Beyond Sodor', a very pleasant surprise.
True; As they are engines of respective railways they all believe that London has one big station. However, London has multiple stations, the LNER (where Gordon’s from) is Kings Cross, 57646 (Donald) is ex-Caledonian Railway which absorbed into the LMS, which serves Euston, the GWR (where Duck a.k.a Montague is from) serves Paddington, and there is many more too, such as Waterloo and Victoria (served by the Southern Railway) and Liverpool Street as well (which served the former Great Eastern Railway) So technically, none of them are wrong, they just can’t get the idea of London having multiple stations through their thick smokeboxes…
The mainland engine : "Kings Cross !?" snores the engine The mainland engine : "London Euston, everybody knows that !!!" Duck : "Rubish" Snap Duck Duck : "London's Paddington, i know i work there"
"Henry can I take your goods train-" "NO." "Idiot!" "Go get your eyes checked!" "I BEG YOUR PARDON--" "I'm sure the trucks will make better company." This is so fricking hilarious I was laughing all the way through!! And using 57646 as THE VISITING ENGINE-WHO COULD'VE THOUGHT OF THAT!?!? Dude, you're a FRIKKING GENIUS WELL DONE JESUS CHRIST Oh and THE FACE OF THE ENGINE WHO FELL IN THE TURNTABLE-I STARED AT IT FOR A WHOLE 10 MINUTES LAUGHING NON STOP 🤣🤣
This video was amazing! I loved your take on the "Gordon goes foreign" history^^!! And I absolutely LOVED the soundtracks that u choose in the different events in the story, especially when Gordon goes to London again! And Gordon trying to go to London again was so fucking funny amazing video asbalways:) :3
The joke works of course because each of the big 4 had their own London terminus stations. Gordon was there as an LNER engine, and Kings's cross was their main terminus, Duck' as he tells everyone, is Great Western, who had Paddington as their main station, and Donald was Caledonian railway originally, but would probably have first seen London after his railway became part of the LMS and kept running on that part of the network after BR was founded. The LMS station in London was Euston. Also makes sense that Given Gordon was going to London from Sodor that they'd route him via the midlands mainline ending up in St Pancras. Also, St Pancras is literally next door to King's Cross, there's only Pancras road between them! Gordon was probably less than 300m away from where he pulled up at his old station originally and never even knew! Makes sense too that Thomas would know London had more than one station. He was from the London, Brighton and south coast railway originally, and even in those days there were a whole bunch of stations in the south of London alone. (Kensington, Victoria, London Bridge, Clapham junction etc) Any southern engine would know London had multiple stations. The only question being if he ever had time to find that out, seeing as he was sent to Sodor almost new, in the same year he was built. But then so was Gordon and he had time to visit London first.
I like how Donald was the one to say the station’s name was Euston! I also like the character designs. The TVS models with RWS liveries! Very interesting! Great episode!
Instantly my favorite video of 2024 Also I just realized something when gordon attempted to leave without lenored and that is do the engine have the ability to move on thier own?
Trampy was a big influence on this different take of "Gordon Goes Foreign", wasn't he? :P Nevertheless, 'twas interesting to see Donald in place of Not-Henry this time around
London King's Cross - East Coast Mainline London Euston - West Coast Mainline London Paddington - Great Western Mainline London St Pancras - Midland Mainline
So considering donald is just a visitor in this interpretation I can only assume this would be before he and his brother were bought, or they're new life is with another railway that was willing to take both without the need of a deputation.
Who here has wondered what happens Gordon’s express coaches go all I know is that they go to London and never come back the mainland just never returns them
I love the new thumbnail! I especially love the detail of James and Henry looking annoyed at Gordon, Duck, and Donald. By the way, if the Big City Engine had lines in this video, what would he say to Gordon when he was blocking his way, and after Peter fell into the turntable well?
What's funny is the whole argument when it was Big City Engine, is that the stations they stand for are those of their respective companies. Gordon LNER, BCE BR and Duck GWR. Also the coloured eyes are jarring but nifty.

Story changes aside, I really love how Gordon and Duck are literally sharing one braincell with each other over a subject they cannot agree on. Such a fun dynamic.
_"Henry can I take your goods train?"_
_"No."_
_"Bother!"_
my fav moment this whole episode, you've outdone yourself with this!
Gordon REALLY must have been desperate if he was asking to take a goods train!
Hay there can I take your goods train
9:27 I decide Ill make the funny part is this ok
I love how in the end that Thomas and Henry knows the truth about London’s other stations and didn’t want to tell them. Pure comedy gold
I'm sure it was about the huge row between Gordon and Duck than the actual station names themselves. Still, I still find it hilarious how Gordon and Duck are clashing egos with each other.
There's a chance Henry had visited all London stations during his goods trips and told Thomas all about them.
But how do they know?
Gordon and Duck: *Arguing about the Big City's Main Station*
Henry: Should we tell them?
Thomas: Nah. I'm just enjoying this show.
Cam (My OC): They're just sharing one braincell at this point.
For those desiring context, Cam is an OC I created. His engine class is an E3 Tank Engine; a modification of the E2, which is Thomas' Class. The modification the E3 have is: Running on oil instead of coal by using the oil to power a furnace that heats up the water.
Cam was the prototype E3 Tank Engine and he was experimented to see how well electricity would work in Steam Trains. The way that works is that when the wheels turn, it's slowly generating electricity that is stored in a power box. Once the box is full, the Driver presses a button in the cab with a gauge that can only be activated when the gauge is full. Once the button is pressed, the electricity is forced back into the wheels, making the engine faster and stronger than usual.
Cam is the only one of his class though. The common theory as to why is because of accidental file mismanagement so the creators couldn't get his stats to see if he was a success or not. Because of this, no more of the E3s were ever built. Unlike Gordon, Cam didn't let the novelty go to his smokebox.
In terms of Cam's personality, he's a friendly, helpful, and hard-working engine that always gets his job done. Because of this, he is extremely relied on when other engines ( *Coughs* James) refuse to do their work. He can get quite angry when his friends are hurt or threatened, but he'll do his best to make things right again.
Sorry about rambling for so long. I just put a lot of thought into my OC. I first created him in 2020 in Minecraft, along with a bunch of other official and fan characters, and I'm still going with creating more characters. I probably won't talk about them, but I might change my decision on that. I hope everyone enjoys reading about my Thomas OC.
Thomas and Henry share a Wallace and Gromit style relationship in my mind
I love how Gordon's only idea for an "ethical" way to get to London is asking Henry if he could take his goods train only for Henry to immediately shut him down.
This is something else. You have the rare ability to breathe new life into old stories that have been done a thousand times over. You should be immensely proud of the work you've done here.

I don’t like how Rushton sounds, i got my own narrator
As a robloxian I am really offended you hot head
I find it really funny that NO ONE had seemingly told them that there’s 4 different terminus stations at London
*Gordon and Duck arguing about the London station*
Me: Somebody's gotta tell them.
Meaning..
more than four
@@WestRail642fan fine, we’ll say 4 ‘big’ stations.
My mind is blown 😮
This was such a funny yet inspiring adaptation. Having Donald take on the role of the Big City Engine was a unique choice and that bit with the Hit Era learning segment was cute. Also the fact that Gordon and Duck never stopped arguing in the sheds about St. "Pancreas" was just hilarious. Wonderful work!
Honestly the Hit Era learning segments would’ve been good if they were about railway and locomotive facts and knowledge instead of baby puzzles
9:25-Henry wasn’t having any of that bull!!! 😂
9:54-those two students when they see each other in the hallways at school!!
😂😂😂😂
I lost it at "I beg your pardon"
It took me SO long to notice that the engines have colored irises. I was wondering why the pupils were so large, but frankly, I like it! Adds a more realistic look to the engines that I personally like.
10:24 *Crash in distance*
Gordon: "Oh, Henry must be shunting in the yard again, same as always. Never change Henry."
That was FOUL 💀
Nice touch having Donald in this as an engine from the other Railway as he certainly was for a time. As an Engine that would have once served under LMS it makes sense that he would have been sent to Euston if he was going to visit London at all. All in all a very refreshing way to breath new life into a classic story.
5:43 i LOVE that subtle detail of "sleep exhaustion lines" under James and Henry's eyes. props to the face modeller.
I really appreciate the continuations of the “Henry sucks at shunting” and “paint factory” gags from Paint Pots and Queens, it really made me smile :]
Absolutely loved this. Having the visitor be Donald was an inspired choice, and I love how you expanded the dynamic between Duck amd Gordon. I adored the last scene especially, and also the new sets (especially the Vicarstown bridge). Overall an amazing adaptation, such a treat to watch!
The detail of Gordon's driver and firemen taking his lamps off at the end was really neat.
It never fails to amaze me just how incredible your takes on stories are, i actually prefer this over the original
Every scene with Duck and Gordon was absolute gold
11:25 I like how peter's face is just blank while the Big City Engine is complaining and Murdoc is like "bro shut up"
I thought it was Barry. Also, that black engine passing Gordon, was he supposed to be one of Henry’s brothers?
And James is like “f**k my life”
@@ciarangleeson2880Yeah, well, half brother.
*Alternative Title:* Gordon Goes Foreign (Extended Director's Cut Edition)
I love how you included Donald in this! And how Gordon tried to start after just trying to pass Vicarstown. And the ending, an excellent adaptation!
I can just imagine the heated argument between Donald and Gordon about St Pancras station once the Scottish twins become permanent NWR engines. 😂😂
This has to be one of the most unique adaptations of Gordon Goes Foreign. For one instead of the Big City Engine, it's Donald which serves as a nice set up for 'The Twin Engines'. Second the ending where Gordon and Duck resuming their argument even after Gordon finds out the station name is. That's something other adaptations never did and its a funny addition. 👍
Honestly, I shouldn't even be surprised that you keep blowing me away with each new video you pump out. This was a beautiful adaptation of "Gordon Goes Foreign". The character banter, the visuals, everything really makes this story pop. I really appreciate how you included Duck's reaction to the station name, yet he, and Gordon, are still the same engines, just with different arguments. The subtle bits of humour (such as Gordon's "ethical" way of getting to London) are also worthy of a mention, it's subtle, yet you can still tell when it's happening, that, in my opinion, is the best usage of humour. Having Donald be the foreign engine was a really interesting choice (albeit, one I like). For one, I'm glad you didn't go straight for "Default Douglas", but instead used his visits to Sodor as a subtle set up for the plot, and for another, I'm very appreciative of the fact you didn't use everyone's default for the foreign engine. Also, given Gordon's line as Donald left, I do hope you're considering doing an adaptation of "The Twin Engines", if not, it's something to consider, as that would be a brilliant set up. Honestly though, I'm wasting my time putting my opinions into words, because this wonderful video has taken them right out of my mouth. Brilliant work Rhys, I do hope you'll keep up the go- no, great work. Have a great one my friend.
Yeah, pretty interesting, giving Donald an early bird cameo. Also, what do you mean by “Default Douglas”?
@@ciarangleeson2880 I more so mean Rhys uses Douglas as a foreign engine quite a few times (Paint Pots & Queens and A Close Shave). Rhys, however, used Douglas' visits as a plot set up for the argument between Gordon, Duck, and Donald.
Love the addition of the headcodes with the lamps. Very small detail but you took the time to do it. This is really well made
After seeing their other videos and another video about headcodes, the amount of detail is amazing. More Thomas content creators should be doing more of that
I love how this is portrayed, but my favorite bits are showing Gordon rush by with his train. The camera shaking makes it feel so much more realistic.
Always love the King’s Cross, Euston gag that comes up everytime Gordon goes on about his past to anyone.
15:17 Duck just casually ditching 4 coaches to roll across an obviously busy junction like its nothing
I love the accurate headcode lamp arrangements
Gordon: Henry, can I take your goods train?
Henry: No.
Gordon: Bother!
I love your rewritings of classic Railway Series stories. One thing I really miss in the original series and you do it very well is create a relationship between the locomotive and his team, humans and machines have always had a great relationship, it's a shame the original series doesn't focus on that...
The expressions of the engines, the music, scenery, everything is just perfect. Keep up the good work.
This is the hit series that we wanted.

Whoever composed the music for this episode, 5 stars!

The shots of gordon just traveling to London is just stunning they are the best shots besides henry ep fish good job
I like how the engine was Donald, I'm more than sure he said this to Douglas "That blue galloping sausage and green waddleing box on wheels has no clue what their talking about".
I'm more than sure Douglas then told Donald that London has 11 stations
Don't apologize for another gordon story we love gordon here
GOD, I love how you recreate these stories into your own style, it's so realistic!
If only Gordon knew that King’s Cross was just a street away from St Pancras…🤭
This is a re-tealing of "Gordon Goes Foreign",in other words,this is the first part of the four part story "The Eight Famous Engines".
I love your additions, like the others leaving at the end or Gordon being scolded for putting his passengers in danger. I like how you handle his antics. I adore the montage of him going to London, the shots sometimes feel like you’re right on his train.
Henry, can I take your goods train?
No.
Bother!
Down from Scotland to London, then back up to Sodor? Sounds hellish
Wonderful adaptation! Very intriguing changes indeed!

This was amazing! I adore the ways you expanded on this story & all the others you've adapted as well as adding on that HiT era flair☺️
Also, those "Thomas & The Royal Engine" mainland locations looked incredible.
i love how its shown the engines dont really like duck yet, makes sense seeing as they believed diesel so fast lol
I absolutely loved all the unique story changes you made here, plus the scenery, effects, and visuals were excellent as per usual! I especially loved the recreations of the set pieces from 'Journey Beyond Sodor', a very pleasant surprise.
Funny the whole story is that they think London only has one station
You mean to tell that there’s more then one station at London
@@NathanielPiscianyes sir
True; As they are engines of respective railways they all believe that London has one big station.
However, London has multiple stations, the LNER (where Gordon’s from) is Kings Cross, 57646 (Donald) is ex-Caledonian Railway which absorbed into the LMS, which serves Euston, the GWR (where Duck a.k.a Montague is from) serves Paddington, and there is many more too, such as Waterloo and Victoria (served by the Southern Railway) and Liverpool Street as well (which served the former Great Eastern Railway)
So technically, none of them are wrong, they just can’t get the idea of London having multiple stations through their thick smokeboxes…
Wow!!! I wasn't expecting this to come out today! Lovely work Rhys! XD
The mainland engine : "Kings Cross !?" snores the engine
The mainland engine : "London Euston, everybody knows that !!!"
Duck : "Rubish"
Snap Duck
Duck : "London's Paddington, i know i work there"
I like how Toby has the awesome train
Edit: That aside, this is a wonderful adaptation!
Lovely, simply lovely! The camera angles, the models, everything! Keep up the good work!
"Henry can I take your goods train-"
"NO."
"Idiot!"
"Go get your eyes checked!"
"I BEG YOUR PARDON--"
"I'm sure the trucks will make better company."
This is so fricking hilarious I was laughing all the way through!! And using 57646 as THE VISITING ENGINE-WHO COULD'VE THOUGHT OF THAT!?!? Dude, you're a FRIKKING GENIUS WELL DONE JESUS CHRIST
Oh and THE FACE OF THE ENGINE WHO FELL IN THE TURNTABLE-I STARED AT IT FOR A WHOLE 10 MINUTES LAUGHING NON STOP 🤣🤣
And another note-what was used on Roblox????? I didn't even notice the program was used until I saw the credits!
@@DOTD7382 The Topham's Office scenes were made in Roblox
@@RhysIndividual Ohhhhh that makes so much sense now!!! That is genius!!
Alright so for that close up shot of Gordon's firebox that gave me a huge ton of project G1 and shed 17 vibes
The best Gordon goes foreign adaptation I’ve seen.
This video was amazing!
I loved your take on the "Gordon goes foreign" history^^!!
And I absolutely LOVED the soundtracks that u choose in the different events in the story, especially when Gordon goes to London again!
And Gordon trying to go to London again was so fucking funny
amazing video asbalways:) :3
I love the use of a Cuggington sound in this.
The joke works of course because each of the big 4 had their own London terminus stations. Gordon was there as an LNER engine, and Kings's cross was their main terminus, Duck' as he tells everyone, is Great Western, who had Paddington as their main station, and Donald was Caledonian railway originally, but would probably have first seen London after his railway became part of the LMS and kept running on that part of the network after BR was founded. The LMS station in London was Euston. Also makes sense that Given Gordon was going to London from Sodor that they'd route him via the midlands mainline ending up in St Pancras. Also, St Pancras is literally next door to King's Cross, there's only Pancras road between them! Gordon was probably less than 300m away from where he pulled up at his old station originally and never even knew!
Makes sense too that Thomas would know London had more than one station. He was from the London, Brighton and south coast railway originally, and even in those days there were a whole bunch of stations in the south of London alone. (Kensington, Victoria, London Bridge, Clapham junction etc) Any southern engine would know London had multiple stations.
The only question being if he ever had time to find that out, seeing as he was sent to Sodor almost new, in the same year he was built. But then so was Gordon and he had time to visit London first.
foreshadowing of donald and douglas’ arrival
i like it
I love Duck and Gordon’s little passing remarks at 9:54 😂😂
With this being your GGF, when Donald and Douglas come to Sodor, I just know that Gordon and Donald are going to start off on the wrong foot
In the end, I thought the Fat Controller would tell them that London has a lot of stations and that St. Pancras is next door to King’s Cross.
It almost sounded like "Station SQUARE" for a moment.
7:21 Time to wake up, Chuggington!
Donald?! Donald was the foreign engine in this universe? Wow! I wouldn't have seen that plot twist coming!
I like how Donald was the one to say the station’s name was Euston! I also like the character designs. The TVS models with RWS liveries! Very interesting! Great episode!
Gordon is always fun! I think this is the first vid I saw from you, love how it's been so far! Here's to more fun in the yards!
I had a read of the that newspaper and it was just gold
Gordon: London's King's Cross!
Donald: London's Euston!
Duck: London's Paddington!
Me: Oh my god! Who the hell cares?!
I’m only like a few seconds in and I’m dying at Edward’s expression
5:47 I didn't understand this logic at first, but then I thought about it and realized that it makes sense.
So I’m guessing the 3 big railway company’s such as the GWR, LNER, LMS had different stations in London
This is genuinely amazing work. Well done.
Whoa Donald. Calm down!
Interesting seeing the engines with coloured pupils.
It’s in aeg already
Love your hybrid mix of RWS & Model Series
I especially love the dialogue and humor
Instantly my favorite video of 2024
Also I just realized something when gordon attempted to leave without lenored and that is do the engine have the ability to move on thier own?
After the donald and douglas purchased Gordon and duck realize that 57646 was Donald.
Trampy was a big influence on this different take of "Gordon Goes Foreign", wasn't he? :P
Nevertheless, 'twas interesting to see Donald in place of Not-Henry this time around
London King's Cross - East Coast Mainline
London Euston - West Coast Mainline
London Paddington - Great Western Mainline
London St Pancras - Midland Mainline
So considering donald is just a visitor in this interpretation I can only assume this would be before he and his brother were bought, or they're new life is with another railway that was willing to take both without the need of a deputation.
Who here has wondered what happens Gordon’s express coaches go all I know is that they go to London and never come back the mainland just never returns them
I love the new thumbnail! I especially love the detail of James and Henry looking annoyed at Gordon, Duck, and Donald. By the way, if the Big City Engine had lines in this video, what would he say to Gordon when he was blocking his way, and after Peter fell into the turntable well?
1:40 lol the way Donald/57646 whistled loudly
What's funny is the whole argument when it was Big City Engine, is that the stations they stand for are those of their respective companies. Gordon LNER, BCE BR and Duck GWR.
Also the coloured eyes are jarring but nifty.
