he's senile so he doesn't remember it. he's even able to tell stories from WWII that don't go anywhere. just like when Marvin Marsh used to call Stan 'Billy'.
Or maybe Duke called him Falcon because for so many years he’d always referred to him as that, even when he was left in the shed after his railway had closed. Even after he was found he had always called Peter Sam and Sir Handel by their original names since he was so used to that. Like how Vegeta always call Goku by his Sayian name Kakarot. That was my intention.
@@NWR1991 ok. i was wondering if you can compare Duke to Grampa Simpson from The Simpson. ater all they are both old and are called 'Grampa' (well, in the US dub of TAF the word 'granpuff' sounded like 'grampa' to me).
A great story and it involves Sir Handel and Duke. What a way for Sir Handel to try and take the passengers to Ulfstead Castle. I had no idea that answer at the station by the lake was going to be the flaw in Sir Handel's plan.
I figured it would be something like that. there are some tank engines that would have jurry rigged tenders, but you need to take the front off the coal wagon to shovel the coal, and the ones that did had fairly bi holes cut into their cab. Now, the hole Sir Handle has for letting the shovel handle stick out of his small cab might have been enough, but a tender is more than just a coal truck!
Its a really small detail, but I love that since the Ffestiniog is a smaller gauge (1ft 11 1/2ins) than the Talyllyn (2ft 3ins) in real life, you have the two gauges mixed into the line. Yes, in the RWS Duke was the same gauge as the Talyllyn, but it speaks to his Ffestiniog heritage in this!
I had in my mind The Idea of a Tank Engine using a coal truck as a Tender since I was a Child 😆 You are the max my friend, thank you for making ir real.
@@eliotreader8220 As his crew said, it was a time issue. Think how many minutes it takes to top up his bunker And then think how long a station stop is. And that is why they were unable to do it.
In the amount of time it took to park Duke's trucks, couple him to Sir Handel's train, and phone the controller for permission, the crew could've easily shoveled enough coal from the "tender" into Sir Handel's bunkers.
For an episode of Northwestern Railway Tales, will there be an episode talking about the time Sir Charles Topham Hatt discovering Bloomer and bringing him to Sodor?
I love how Duke kept addressing Sir Handle by his previous name, what a throwback.

@@bow-tiedengineer4453 couldn't they have put a few sacks of coal in the truck?

I believe Duke was built at the workshops on the Ffestiniog railway in 1879? I see now reason way he shouldn't be proud of his heritage
Perfect, the world needs more Duke stories
Another good story. A lesson learnt for Sir Handle, the way he tried to prove himself was good. The ending was also very nice.
Duke’s model is one of the most detailed I’ve ever seen!
Fantastic story. Congratulations on 10 years!!
Poggers story! Congrats on 10 years!
Oh that Duke model looks sweet. So well detailed.

Glad that in the end Sir Handel saw sense
Oh my! Happy 10th anniversary! I really enjoy your videos! Here's to another 10 years
What a Fantastic Story!, Well done :D
I love the new intro of the begin of the series
Happy 10th Anniversary and congratulations!
Happy Tenth Anniversary!
I love it especially the into I love Thomas the tank engine and friends I love watching them especially your videos
After watching every NWR tales episode all I have to say is waht a interesting journey
Happy 10th, NWR1991, and cheers to your (hopefully) 20th!
Congratulations for the 10th anniversary .... Your videos are great
It feels like such a mix of the missing tender and you can't win. It's great
10 years... wow. 🙂
Loved the laugh you gave Peter Sam, hilarious. Curious what accent you gave him, it's one I don't recognize.
Welsh, it's based on the one from the CGI series.
@@NWR1991 Thanks. May have heard a Welsh accent a few times, but not enough to recognize it right away, not yet.
@@brianrunyon266 way couldn't they top up Sir Handel's coal bunker with coal taken from the truck?
@@eliotreader8220 As his crew said, it was a time issue.
Think how many minutes it takes to top up his bunker
And then think how long a station stop is.
And that is why they were unable to do it.
Fantastic job
The ending almost had a “Bulldog” feeling to it.
Great story, nice to see Duke again (even though I'm wondering why you didn't use the model used previously but that's a minor thing).
It’s mainly the eyes from the Si3D model not working and I don’t want to go through the trouble of photoshopping the eyes into different directions.
@@NWR1991 There is a new PBR model of TVS Duke available now, it's on a site called Mid-Sodor Model Works I believe!
It's the same gauge as the TSI models as well 👍
Also, loved this episode! It feels very natural and flows very well.
I know but at the time of filming that didn’t come out.
happy 10th annavercery mr nwr1991!
I felt bad for Sir Handle :( get my boi some coal, he just wants to prove himself 😪
