SeunghoYT By that I meant if you say so, it's probably right. I knew that he's an A0, but since that prototype was never really built, the engine he's closest to is a A3.
I like how gordon got all the fame and attention he could ever ask for at once but was still grumpy over something as simple as getting a station wrong. Shame they never adapted this one.
Well they were going to adapted it for season two since they were going to use Henry’s model as the big city engine with smoke deflectors and a new face mask
King's Cross: LNER Euston: LMS Paddington: GWR St Pancras: GNR Waterloo: L&SWR The irony is the lot of stations in London, but also St Pancras is right next door to King's Cross.
They should make this episode in the new series. It could very easily be altered to fit the show. Maybe make Hiro the foreign engine, and Connor the engine who had the accident.
Sure, but if he was working local trains, he'd have no reason to know what station London was. Gordon and Duck worked London, James could have easily spent his whole time on the mainland in Lancashire, Cheshire, or Yorkshire.
You could never have gotten this kind of story if Awdry had still been working with C. Reginald Dalby; John Kenney's comparatively more open-minded emphasis in drawing from life was a big deal for an author like Awdry, who proved he could write a more complex story here without resorting to using terminology that would fly over the heads of most readers. Regards, Samuel Farris.
Yeah. I mean there probably would've been much of a shitstorm if Dalby stuck around even more as the illustrator for Awdry, up to a point where lawsuits might commence leading to an unexpected cancelation of the _Railway Series_ all together. Considering just how anal Awdry was about keeping things consistent as wanted his series of stories, he practically wasn't much a male equivalent of an innocent singing nun neither, at least in a small miniscule of my opinion.
We know the Big City Engine, the green locomotive with smoke deflectors between Gordon and Duck is based on the LMS Patriot Class. According to the TTTE Wikipedia, they decided to plan this story to film into an episode for the second season Unfortunately that they cancelled Gordon Goes Foreign episode due to budgetary restraints. If Gordon Goes Foreign episode was never cancelled but made, the Big City Engine would be a Black 5 like Henry
I wonder if that Big City Engine had a name. Something like "Reginald." And I bet if Gordon ever ran into an engine like "Reginald" again, they'd probably go through some sort of trial to prove which engine is the fastest and best.
Well, one would think it is St Pancras; it's since become the only London terminus from where you can travel to the Continent! Who would have thought of that back in 1957 when this story was first published!
@@RWSfan2024no it’s just shared events, CGI shares a lot of it’s canon with Models but some things never happened like Henry’s Shape, even if it could be chalked up to animation oversight. Or Hiro apparently being the first engine
They were going to make a TV adaption but they didn't because the budget was too high, the would've made The Foreign Engine using Henry's model by adding a new face and smoke deflectors and new models for the other foreign engines for background action including the one who turned over when it came out the yard and making a London station set. Imagine how much that would've cost?
Apparently Rev W Awdry was gonna make this the last book soooooo glad he didn't illustrator John T Kenney's first book love John's illustrations RIP John shame your eyesight faded and you have to stop after just six volumes and sorry he died only 61 in 1972
Did you know that this was going to be an episode from the third season of the TV series? According to art director Bob-Gauld Galliers, it was originally planned to be filmed, but was cut because it would have resulted in an inflated budget.
Gordon entirely is on another level... Despite Skarloey being my favorite character in rws I can admit that Gordon is the BEST character from the rws period. In every story he is in he shines and the series starts with him and ends with him. A true gigachad....
Lots of people traveled to the big station at the end of the line. Engines from the other railways sometimes pulled their trains. These engines stay the nights and go home next day.
I like to think the Fat Controller afterwards told Gordon that London has multiple stations and that St Pancras was the terminus of the Midland Mainline with which Sodor uses to connect to London.

In Duck & the Diesel Engine Duck knew about the South Western so he must have known about Waterloo, and as he worked at Paddington he must have heard about Marylebone as the Great Western line to Birimingham was shared with the Great Central. Also when Gordon was working on the LNER he must have heard of Liverpool Street, Fenchurch Street and Marylebone.
Due to being on the London Midland Region The Derailed Engine would most likely be a type from said region and due to the lack of smoke deflectors it’s likely not something like a Patriot (like the Big City Engine here) Royal Scot or Coronation, so it could be a Princess Royal but I don’t think it could be a Jubilee due to the long distance from Barrow in Furness to St. Pancras plus the firebox doesn’t look like that of one.

Gordon worked for the LNER, and their flagship station was King's Cross, the 'big city' engine was obviously LMS and their flagship station was Euston: Duck worked for the GWR and their flagship station was Paddington.
Not to be that guy (And I know this story is decades old) but since Sodor and London are apart of the same country, not uh...not really going foreign, if Gordon was travelling to Russia for example, that's foreign.

Wow, what a clever pun. Since Gordon was an LNER A3 engine, and they used to be painted green... I think you get it now.
Micawber 01 Gordon is a prototype A1, making him an A0.

Micawber 01 its not my opinion, its in the ttte wikia and other sites about Gordon.

By that I meant if you say so, it's probably right. I knew that he's an A0, but since that prototype was never really built, the engine he's closest to is a A3.

Pokemon Champion Cynthia St Pancras Is MR(I Think)
London's Waterloo.
Actually st Pancras is the LMS no the GNR.
Oh dear poor Gordon.
Pokemon Champion Cynthia now I get the joke, thank you! 😂
The beginning part of the story was basically a Twitter/Reddit argument but with railway engines
Too bad this story didn't make it into the TV series because this is a popular one.
It was going to be adopted but it was too expensive to make.
Nick Vagnone I've recently just found that out, but thank you for informing me. :)
Also, they were originally going to use Henry's model for the Foreign Engine. By giving it a new face, smoke deflectors, and a darker green paint job.
They should make this episode in the new series. It could very easily be altered to fit the show. Maybe make Hiro the foreign engine, and Connor the engine who had the accident.
It might get adapted to the cgi series but I will be disappointed because the model version is better
I really wish they made this episode into a TV episode! I have to admit I used to think the foreign engine and Flying Scotsman were the same!
They could easily just make a complete Eight Famous Engines film now. Why not?
They were going to make it into an episode but didn't have enough money and wanted more stories about Thomas in Season 3, the main character.
No he is an lms patriot class
@@hulksterish but henry in both shapes share both the flying scotsman and the big city engine
Perhaps the team behind Project Tiger Moth should adapt this story.
Willie Rushton makes the stationmaster's voice sound funny, in a humorous way.
"London's not Euston." Says the engine who would have been on the LMS if he was there long enough.
Funny thing is, James should have already been LMS by the time he was bought.
That would make even LESS sense for James to say what he said about Eustan.
TobyandMavisforever I think he was saying that Gordon and Duck were agreed on that it wasn’t Euston.
He might've been teasing them. After all, messing with an argument is often more fun than getting legitimately involved.
Sure, but if he was working local trains, he'd have no reason to know what station London was. Gordon and Duck worked London, James could have easily spent his whole time on the mainland in Lancashire, Cheshire, or Yorkshire.

The most talked about Railway Series story, and for all the good reasons.
3:30 is the second most famous shot from the railway series next to thomas coming out of the tunnel in thomas and the trucks
definitely one of the most iconic shots in the entirety of the RWS
Sadly there is a Goof. Gordon on ilustration is having 5 stripes on boiler, and on rest have 4.

In my eye they look more like LMS period 2 stock than they do Mk1s. I could be wrong, and of course the illustrations could be a little inaccurate.

Or maybe "A Big Day for Gordon."
