Poor Stanley. Everything was out of his control. I can't help but feel sympathy for him. First he is improperly gauged, then a supernatural force hijacks him, and the blame is always placed on him. I personally think that he's right when he tells Duke everyone loves him just for his name which he did nothing to earn, and as we all know, he's right yet again when he predicts that the manager's poor judgment will result in the railway's closure. Stanley's story reminds me a lot of Henry's, always being given the short end of the stick, but unlike Henry, Stanley would not get his happy ending... well, not as far as we know. Although the yellow engine from the previous story didn't appear here, I have a feeling this may tie back to him in some way. With all that aside, congratulations on 10K, Rheneas!
Makes me wonder... in the very early days, people were afraid of steam engines. Some even called them demonic, and campaigned against them. In 'Very Old Engines' as Neil is pulling Skarloey away, we see a woman with her hands to her cheeks, turning away from them in fright. I wonder if this man was someone who, in life, fought against the railway, and is still seeking to stop them from beyond the grave...
Yeah, I could never understand that frame of mentality, I mean, what the Hell (no pun intended) has the invention of steam locomotion got to do with Demons? If God "creates all" and "has great plans for each of us", then surely this "Work of the Devil" as you call it, is actually a creation of God, except he told the bloke who built it to do it for him? That's like saying we shouldn't buy Bibles unless there's proof God owns the Book Shop.
@@flashstudiosguy it reminds me that in a documentary i watched about the London Underground, a doctor of all things claimed that underground trains would burrow down into hell itself unleashing demons upon us. wild stuff. but yeah, the 'vengeful railway hater' is my bet for the mysterious man that caused Stanley's accidents
@@flashstudiosguy Obviously, I'm not one to say given how far removed I am from that time period. But my guess is that due to how new they were and that there just wasn't anything like it, not to mention the idea of a mechanical automaton running on fire, imitating a horse would seem strange at first. Remember, this was when horses and carts were used. The only other man made transportation types around then that I can think of are ships and the velocipede (bike) which was also literally just invented around the same time. I'd maybe compare it to how people act towards AI and artists? Not trying to make a point, but the idea of replacing something natural with a machine would seem strange, wouldn't it? Especially if in this universe, the machine started talking back.
Some people are always afraid of anything new or 'different', particularly if it is beyond their ability to understand it. Steam engines were new, noisy and seemingly uncontrollable forces which threatened major change to the long established 'normal order' of society in Britain and that was why they were hated at first. America, a very young country in comparison, sw their potential for nation building, and reacted differently.
These Stanley stories are all just sad and unfair. Gauging issues, unsuited wheel configuration, being hijacked by a ghost, and then blamed for them when it wasn't in his control
Yeah, I mean, it's not impossible for a guy to jump from a moving engine and not break his legs in the process but, of course, plot would stall if common sense won the day.
@@flashstudiosguythis kinda fits my head canon of Thomas lore which is that humans don't really see engines as sentient beings but just machinery and possibly for some just view their sentience as a hindrance and would rather ignore them when situations call for it. Like think about it you'd have to be cold and remorseless to scarp a sentient being. The only ones who are listened too at times are the one's who are useful.
Honestly, I feel like the manager was behind all of this to begin with. It makes too much sense: - Manager finds out that Stanley wasn't properly gauged. - Doesn't bother to fix him. - Accidents happen because of Stanley's bad gauging. - Manager blames Stanley for something he has no control over. - Stanley continues to have accidents despite multiple reprimands and even punishments. At that point, the manager was probably fed up with Stanley and wanted an excuse to get rid of him, but also didn't want to be called out for refusing to do critical maintenance work on one of his engines. So he likely set up multiple severe accidents to make an excuse to basically get rid of him in a way where he would never be able to reveal the truth of what happened.
What an unexpected story here. Looks like here, Stanley got framed for his final running on rails by a ghost. And no one believes him. I feel bad for him. Besides his obvious punishment, who knows what other fate will come upon him. A well done story here.
It up in the air on what happen to him. I remember somewhere that Stanley was sold to mine company as a pumping engine but something happen that cause people to die and he was scrapped as a result. In the TV version it's unkown what happen to him as he was never talk about again and his fate remains a mystery on wheater or not he was sold. Some took a guess that he went throught the same thing but he became Berterm given how Tody found him in abandoned mine and he has his face.
@@corialicetales5249Actually I don’t think it was ever stated what happened to Stanley after the mine flooded in any RWS books. For all we know he was probably left to rust, or flossed with it, or was sold to another railway and reconverted back into a steam engine.
Poor Stanley, you really do have to feel sorry for him. Frankly, they should just fire everyone in charge of the Railway for not properly understanding his problems. Stanley's Former Owner:" Just so you know, you'll have to get him regauged in order to operate on the British Gauge System, that's not a problem, is it?" Mid Sodor Manager: "Hmm? Sorry, did you say something? I suddenly got distracted by this pretty butterfly..." Stanley's Former Owner: "I....*sigh* You know what, what the f**k do I care if you listened or not, I've got my money and you just signed a contract that says you agree to a non refundable deal, I'm out.."
What a day for the thomas fandom this has been I mean first you had 22Tesla's 10:10 to Killdane, then you had Carson's Lifting the Curtain adaptation, and now you have this Very productive, wouldn’t you say?
I've always gotten the feeling that Stanley was mistreated, and that mistreatment twisted and warped his mental state. Now he's just rude, selfish, lonely, and reckless because no one bothered to help. Especially the manager.
Man, that story is great! poor Stanley was telling the truth, however no one believed him. And the end, i never thought i would see such a thing! A Great Work Here! Sorry my bad english, i'm Brazillian! Greetings from Brazil!
I’m honestly dumbfounded by this story, it took a character who was only designed to be a rough rider to teach others a lesson and made his fate a tragedy It’s incredible
You've really managed to make Stanley sympathetic here. Brings me back to the stories written by SiF for the Mid-Sodor line. And to have a some specter ruin it for him... That is just dark.
I don’t know if this would count as a sequel or a prequel to the yellow engine, but I definitely feel that the stories are connected. Mysterious figure talking in the same bizarre and language on the exact same part of the island as Victor can’t be a coincidence Either there’s some sort of cult on the island (which to be fair, there was one at one point if “church of the devil” is to be believed) or this “enigma” for lack of better words is a Shapeshifter
9:01 If you listen closely you can actually hear the chanting of the yellow engine from the previous story, so this may have something to do with the yellow engine!
"Stanley, what have you done?" Counterpoint, Driver, what *didn't you* do? Cause unless it's an actual ghost, the real easiest answer is you didn't put the brake on properly getting out of the cab. Edit: Well, I can take comfort in knowing the Manager's going to be a destitute man in a few years.
I have an idea for a story: Thomas has been around for well over a hundred years and is happy to be on Sodor with all his friends. However he can't help but wonder what the next hundred years will bring and it worries him. One night he has a nightmare about it. In his dream it is 2123. By this time the Hatt family had died off with the last Hatt Edmond Topham Hatt passing away unmarried and with no kids, nieces, nephews, cousins or siblings to take over the railway. The new manager is not so nice and wants a more modern railway. and most people are not as interested in the historic engines as they were before. One by one, Thomas's friends get scrapped till it's just him alone. Eventually Thomas has an accident and is taken to the scrap yard. Just as he is about to be scrapped , Thomas wakes up screaming and starts to cry. When Edward asks what's wrong, Thomas tells him and the other engines about his nightmare as well as his worries. Edward comforts him saying the future is not for ones to see and shouldn't worry about it, but just to enjoy the present and cherish each day. Eventually Thomas calms down and stops worrying about the future
1:15 I like to think that Stanley got a massive victory in the war or survived impossible odds in it and this caused him to think that he could do whatever he wanted since he survived that and maybe sees himself as immortal.
That yellow engine has got to be behind this and by the way are your sodor supernatural ever return and is everything single scary story you've done including the fog phantom series and this are they all Canon to your universe
Honestly, watching fan films like this might have permanently changed my view of Stanley and Duke. Kinda makes it hard to see duke as a wise kind hearted mentor figure now.
I guess his stanley rough riding got someone hurt or injured in the distance past and that person ghost came to make his life miserable as punishment or maybe it had something to do with the yellow engine from the episode before this one hence the similar chanting from the ending
@@toothlessthebestdragon17 It’s either a generator as a thought but when the sludge hammers came in. He might be cut up for scrap and sludge hammers were used to forcefully remove something from a locomotive like boiler tubes or what not. I only hope he was turned into a generator atleast he still served a purpose than.
My theory is that the spectral stalker is someone who was meant to be the REAL Controller of the Mid Sodor, yet the current one conned his way to the top, and got the guy killed in the process. The spirit knew what kind of incompetent imbicile this man was when it came to running a railway. And he felt that the time had come to show the world his TRUE colors. So he hijacked Stanely and brought about so much Chaos to prove that the manager wouldn't care for the engine's side of the story, and that his sheer stupidity would result in the railway being brought to ruin. But then again, I could just be overthinking things.
Yeah, if anything, Driver should have been saying "Bugger, brakes must have not been on properly or broke, I'll get them seen to tomorrow", not "HOW DARE YOU TAKE OFF YOUR BRAKES!?"
@@flashstudiosguy I agree Rock and role and busting a snowplow are happen in railways series but that’s mostly do to issues with the engines design I think the manager is being lazy
Man, this entity sucks. First it cheats the mid Sodor out of an engine, then possesses a man who ruins Stanley’s career, probably does some other horrible stuff we may soon see, and then possesses Bert. I hope we see whatever evil this is get it’s just dues, but we are definitely a long way from that happening.
There should be a sequel where it happens again to another engine (maybe Duke) at the same place, and then they will start believing in Stanley. #JusticeForStanley
This is why being blamed for things that i had no control over or didn't do is my pet peeve. He didn't deserve that punishment if its anyone's fault its the manager's fault for not listening to him and not making sure he was properly guaged. He didn't even bother to ask Stanley's crew what happened.
Now i feel sorry for stanley. Just because of his forced upon rep nobody believed him and that ghastly spectre took full advantage. Something tells me that they did it solely because they wanted to watch him suffer
but we hear those in multiple stories I have a theory, Stanley was a runaway and a drunk man was on the line, and he hit him the man and wants revenge just my theory.
That man who was following Stanley around was likely a part of a cult that warships engines, and possess them so that would be why the yellow engine went missing. Stanley and Edward were just lucky.
7:25 I have a theory that it was one of the workmen who caused Stanley to move because they always seem to convientley get his driver and fireman away. And also his driver and firemen are stupid like based on what they believe they shouldn’t have left Stanley alone because he would cause another accident and it would leave them with a bad reputation
The should have written the story about a phantom saboteur who, in life tried prevent a railway from being build the valleys of Sodor back in the 1870s, however his efforts pays him back as he blocks the way of the Railway Foreman's office before being arrested and sendt away. Howeve the day the railway has opened the activist then secrely snuk behind the crowd and blockung the path of an oncoming train, he's eventually killed and buried in the cementery but his spirit is still stares coldly from his grave to where the station stands to this day!..
i like the story altho i feel that you did the last part too harsly, i would have like’d too see the workmen or the crew stand up for stanley or have the blame split betwen stanley & the crew
So far this year feels... Connected. Its less an anthology more of a bunch if stories told out of order. This being part one of the yellow engines curse. The reason i say part one is well... This take place before the the yellow engine. The fact you can hear the whispers of the yellow engine. Makes me wonder something. Ee the Yellow engine moving on its own... Is did the mysterious man climb aboard the possesed train
Stanley is the perfect example of a tragic antagonist. He wants to be useful but derails and makes problems that aren’t even his fault. Dukes not much help either. And it isn’t Stanley’s fault his builders screwed up in making him but it is his fault for being a bit of a prick but he can’t help the fact he was built wrong.
Gosh. It puzzles me that some people don't believe in the supernatural. I really do wish the manager had listened to what Stanley tried to tell him after Stanley had that accident with the passenger train that night.
Somehow, the Manager strikes me as the type who'd disbelieve something, even if you repeatedly slammed his face up against the wall the evidence is pinned to... "You claim you were hijacked? That sounds too logical, you must be lying!"
Again to the point of realism of Thomas HOW CAN THE PEOPLE SAY HE MOVED ON HIS OWN!!!! Especially his runaway It just couldn't happen without a hand on the regulator.
How could they just blame him for moving on his own? That can’t happen without a driver. Stanley is right that everyone is out to get him and hates him for no reason.
I get the feeling that the stalker was a delusional clergyman who was convinced that steam engines were demonic or something also the manager can burn in Hell as he'll be the MSR's downfall not Stanley
I kinda feel bad for Stanley now, the manager putting the whole blame on him for something entirely out of his control, what an absolutely despicable basterd, I do wonder who that man was though
Quite a good story - again, I like the quality of the graphics, their general accuracy and Stanley's characterisation. They're certainly more adult in these tales. And I feel sorry for Stanley in a way - is his name Stanley because he's a Baldwin, incidentally? The ROD tanks were notoriously rough riding engines due to poor balance and weight distribution in reality - some of the crews on Welsh lines that acquired them after 1918 hated them - but he's very much an awkward and beligerent character. Has he got PTSD from his time in Flanders?
Manager: "I don't know what's wrong with you, Stanley" Hm, I don't know, perhaps it's the fact that you're such a cheap-ass who couldn't be bothered to regauge an engine that's obviously out of gauge? Actually, this gives me a theory - the "ghost" was the manager of the MSR himself, who was trying to make an excuse to get rid of an engine he didn't want to properly maintain.
This story, I have to say, is really shocking. From what I could see, Stanley's arrogance and rude behavior was because he was depressed that he had design flaws due to a rushed job. That other engine Smudger was a real jerk but Stanley here was plagued with bad luck nonstop! As for who the hell was the presence that led to this, he's a troublemaker and a little evil too! My first theory is that he's the spirit of a former railway controller who wanted to punish Stanley for his incompetence and teach him a lesson, which is quite a bit heartless, spiteful and cruel, OR.....well, since hearing that bizarre language The Yellow Engine was saying is a lot deeper and darker. If that man had something to do with that Yellow Engine and Bert, then it seems something VERY sinister is going on in Sodor this year. Almost like it's the work of the trickster demons Mephistopheles, Loki, a soucouyant or even IT! Despite all of this, I hope nothing bad happens to Stanley and may Jennings rest in peace.
This story just pisses me off for Stanley ngl. He never meant to cause any of these accidents, he just had the worst luck in the world. You'd think that after awhile they'd wonder why he keeps derailing n stuff, but noooo they just blame him for everything. If I was Stanley, I would've thrown on the throttle and made myself leave the entire railway after all of that. Yes, he's an engine and couldn't make himself stop if he wanted to, but he'd eventually get far enough away from the railway that way. Like holy shit, he was a bit grumpy i guess, but that shouldn't warrant what they did to him...
Poor Stanley. Everything was out of his control. I can't help but feel sympathy for him. First he is improperly gauged, then a supernatural force hijacks him, and the blame is always placed on him. I personally think that he's right when he tells Duke everyone loves him just for his name which he did nothing to earn, and as we all know, he's right yet again when he predicts that the manager's poor judgment will result in the railway's closure. Stanley's story reminds me a lot of Henry's, always being given the short end of the stick, but unlike Henry, Stanley would not get his happy ending... well, not as far as we know.
Although the yellow engine from the previous story didn't appear here, I have a feeling this may tie back to him in some way.
With all that aside, congratulations on 10K, Rheneas!
fr i feel bad for him i had thought he was gonna get scraped
@@Goku20909 i would have lashed out also he didnt get scrapped?

Edit: Well, I can take comfort in knowing the Manager's going to be a destitute man in a few years.
I have an idea for a story: Thomas has been around for well over a hundred years and is happy to be on Sodor with all his friends. However he can't help but wonder what the next hundred years will bring and it worries him. One night he has a nightmare about it. In his dream it is 2123. By this time the Hatt family had died off with the last Hatt Edmond Topham Hatt passing away unmarried and with no kids, nieces, nephews, cousins or siblings to take over the railway. The new manager is not so nice and wants a more modern railway. and most people are not as interested in the historic engines as they were before. One by one, Thomas's friends get scrapped till it's just him alone. Eventually Thomas has an accident and is taken to the scrap yard. Just as he is about to be scrapped , Thomas wakes up screaming and starts to cry. When Edward asks what's wrong, Thomas tells him and the other engines about his nightmare as well as his worries. Edward comforts him saying the future is not for ones to see and shouldn't worry about it, but just to enjoy the present and cherish each day. Eventually Thomas calms down and stops worrying about the future
Agree
I love this idea!

First it cheats the mid Sodor out of an engine, then possesses a man who ruins Stanley’s career, probably does some other horrible stuff we may soon see, and then possesses Bert. I hope we see whatever evil this is get it’s just dues, but we are definitely a long way from that happening.
There should be a sequel where it happens again to another engine (maybe Duke) at the same place, and then they will start believing in Stanley. #JusticeForStanley
This is why being blamed for things that i had no control over or didn't do is my pet peeve. He didn't deserve that punishment if its anyone's fault its the manager's fault for not listening to him and not making sure he was properly guaged. He didn't even bother to ask Stanley's crew what happened.
Awesome tale, very yet eerie!
Now i feel sorry for stanley. Just because of his forced upon rep nobody believed him and that ghastly spectre took full advantage. Something tells me that they did it solely because they wanted to watch him suffer
Bro every person has the regular trains face on the back of their head
If Hank would have known about this he would flip his lid.
I feel so bad for Stanley bro he’s just a misunderstood engine who happens to not have good gaugeing
11:24 the chanting… that damned chanting… its unholy i tell you. Something evil is in those words
The man must have a connection to the yellow engine my evidence? The chanting
but we hear those in multiple stories I have a theory, Stanley was a runaway and a drunk man was on the line, and he hit him the man and wants revenge just my theory.
That man who was following Stanley around was likely a part of a cult that warships engines, and possess them so that would be why the yellow engine went missing. Stanley and Edward were just lucky.
7:25 I have a theory that it was one of the workmen who caused Stanley to move because they always seem to convientley get his driver and fireman away. And also his driver and firemen are stupid like based on what they believe they shouldn’t have left Stanley alone because he would cause another accident and it would leave them with a bad reputation
The should have written the story about a phantom saboteur who, in life tried prevent a railway from being build the valleys of Sodor back in the 1870s, however his efforts pays him back as he blocks the way of the Railway Foreman's office before being arrested and sendt away. Howeve the day the railway has opened the activist then secrely snuk behind the crowd and blockung the path of an oncoming train, he's eventually killed and buried in the cementery but his spirit is still stares coldly from his grave to where the station stands to this day!..
10:56 Doesn’t this remind you of a creepypasta when you’re subscribed to Raygloom about sightings in Minecraft moss!!!
i like the story altho i feel that you did the last part too harsly, i would have like’d too see the workmen or the crew stand up for stanley or have the blame split betwen stanley & the crew
Who was that man?
I Hope They Can Eventually Find Out Why He Did This.. Poor Stanley.. That Ghost Is Ruining His Career
I don't know, but this years stories aren't just hitting it this year.
So far this year feels... Connected. Its less an anthology more of a bunch if stories told out of order. This being part one of the yellow engines curse. The reason i say part one is well... This take place before the the yellow engine. The fact you can hear the whispers of the yellow engine. Makes me wonder something. Ee the Yellow engine moving on its own... Is did the mysterious man climb aboard the possesed train
The whispers they continue
Stanley is the perfect example of a tragic antagonist. He wants to be useful but derails and makes problems that aren’t even his fault. Dukes not much help either. And it isn’t Stanley’s fault his builders screwed up in making him but it is his fault for being a bit of a prick but he can’t help the fact he was built wrong.
Gosh. It puzzles me that some people don't believe in the supernatural. I really do wish the manager had listened to what Stanley tried to tell him after Stanley had that accident with the passenger train that night.
Somehow, the Manager strikes me as the type who'd disbelieve something, even if you repeatedly slammed his face up against the wall the evidence is pinned to...
"You claim you were hijacked? That sounds too logical, you must be lying!"
@@flashstudiosguy I guess so, man.
It puzzles me how some people say the dead know nothing just because there's ONE verse in the Bible which says that
@@evanclarke5561 Same here.
Justice for Stanley! Maybe a story where HE haunts the manager and Duke for not believing him
Stanley feels like the Thomas version of Meg Griffin, in a way.
Again to the point of realism of Thomas HOW CAN THE PEOPLE SAY HE MOVED ON HIS OWN!!!! Especially his runaway It just couldn't happen without a hand on the regulator.
Bc apparently nobody mentioned him getting hijacked
I don’t know how they can blame him for his brakes when the only way that can happen is if someone was there
How could they just blame him for moving on his own? That can’t happen without a driver. Stanley is right that everyone is out to get him and hates him for no reason.
Where was Stanley's crew and the workmen to tell them what happened when they heard Stanley screaming for help
I feel bad for Stanley, he wasn't doing those on purpose. But great story!
I get the feeling that the stalker was a delusional clergyman who was convinced that steam engines were demonic or something also the manager can burn in Hell as he'll be the MSR's downfall not Stanley
So when is the sequel of the Yellow Engine and I hope it will include with Stanley the Mid Sodor engine.
I kinda feel bad for Stanley now, the manager putting the whole blame on him for something entirely out of his control, what an absolutely despicable basterd, I do wonder who that man was though
Creepy, i wonder who his stalker was? Maybe a former driver of his who'd been either injured or killed by him? @RhenProd
who was the mysterious man
name
That WAS dark!
Stanley isn't a bad or lazy engine he was delt a bad hand, and he can't help that really its the Midsodors fault for not altering him to run better
Quite a good story - again, I like the quality of the graphics, their general accuracy and Stanley's characterisation. They're certainly more adult in these tales. And I feel sorry for Stanley in a way - is his name Stanley because he's a Baldwin, incidentally? The ROD tanks were notoriously rough riding engines due to poor balance and weight distribution in reality - some of the crews on Welsh lines that acquired them after 1918 hated them - but he's very much an awkward and beligerent character. Has he got PTSD from his time in Flanders?
Poor Stanley this made me sad how dare they be mean to him!
Manager: "I don't know what's wrong with you, Stanley"
Hm, I don't know, perhaps it's the fact that you're such a cheap-ass who couldn't be bothered to regauge an engine that's obviously out of gauge?
Actually, this gives me a theory - the "ghost" was the manager of the MSR himself, who was trying to make an excuse to get rid of an engine he didn't want to properly maintain.
That chanting
Wait this is related to the yellow engine
Damn, they Framed my boi
This story, I have to say, is really shocking. From what I could see, Stanley's arrogance and rude behavior was because he was depressed that he had design flaws due to a rushed job. That other engine Smudger was a real jerk but Stanley here was plagued with bad luck nonstop! As for who the hell was the presence that led to this, he's a troublemaker and a little evil too! My first theory is that he's the spirit of a former railway controller who wanted to punish Stanley for his incompetence and teach him a lesson, which is quite a bit heartless, spiteful and cruel, OR.....well, since hearing that bizarre language The Yellow Engine was saying is a lot deeper and darker. If that man had something to do with that Yellow Engine and Bert, then it seems something VERY sinister is going on in Sodor this year. Almost like it's the work of the trickster demons Mephistopheles, Loki, a soucouyant or even IT!
Despite all of this, I hope nothing bad happens to Stanley and may Jennings rest in peace.
But it wasn’t fair. He wasn’t Stanley’s fault why didn’t no one listen to him it’s not fair.😢😡
Feel bad for Stanley, but still. You’d think with him not being properly gauged, he’d at least have the foresight to play it safe. 😕
We need a part 2 maybe
Question RhenProd what was the Sound Effect you used for the the Man's odd chant
This story just pisses me off for Stanley ngl. He never meant to cause any of these accidents, he just had the worst luck in the world. You'd think that after awhile they'd wonder why he keeps derailing n stuff, but noooo they just blame him for everything. If I was Stanley, I would've thrown on the throttle and made myself leave the entire railway after all of that. Yes, he's an engine and couldn't make himself stop if he wanted to, but he'd eventually get far enough away from the railway that way. Like holy shit, he was a bit grumpy i guess, but that shouldn't warrant what they did to him...
They think that Stanley is a lier
Can we have a sequal to the yellow engine
stanley became stationary boiler?
Say when you gonna make "the fog Phantom: part 3" ?
Who is that man that cause Stanley to cause his accident I need a sequel
