    “Curse of Crovan’s Gate” sounds like a ghost story that Edward would tell about an engine that was set to be overhauled, but, due to financial issues, was scrapped mid-process, leading it to roam Crovan’s Gate for spare parts or something like that.

      I know that sounds stupid, especially since the ghost trains in Duncan Gets Spooked and Percy’s Ghostly Trick are already around, but I guess actually giving a name to a ghost engine just makes it more memorable in my mind.

      “And the Thomas fandom was born! And books, toys, and a tv show would be part of thousands of childhoods, Until the Mattel nation attacked, they took Thomas and ruined the show and left the fandom with nothing, leaving a path of destruction in its way.
      The fandom was heartbroken, never seeing the blue boy ever again.
      But then, the fandom began making Thomas content themselves, Mattel lost the war and Thomas fans lived in peace once again.

  • @chesapeakedproductions3009
    @chesapeakedproductions3009 2 года назад +3

    Awesome custom as always, TrainBoy! I would like to mention that the LNER J50s did actually have pistons, however the difference is that engines like the J50 and E2 had their cylinders and pistons in between the frames. In the case of the Curse of Croven's Gate model, it has outside cylinders. Inside valve gear wasn't well liked by maintenance crews because compared to outside motion, it was a hell of a lot more difficult to service the piston rods and cylinders when they're inside of the engine instead on the outside. Internal cylinders did sometimes boost the performance of engines in terms of horsepower, but engines with only basic side rods were mostly a UK thing. There have been engines in the US with multiple cylinders, but most American railroads preferred conventional valve gear for the sake of simplicity for engine servicing. The most successful of these engines were the Union Pacific Class 4-12-2 9000 series engines, the longest most successful single-frame steam locomotive. The 9000s used Walschaerts valve gear on the outside, however in between the outside cylinders sat a 3rd cylinder with Gresley valve gear, designed by Sir Nigel Gresley himself. Because of the 3rd cylinder, it boosted the engine's overall strength, and for a time was the most powerful engine on the Union Pacific Railroad

    It might be a random comment, but I think it would be a good idea for a movie
    A "thomas " movie that I would love to watch would be the "Enterprising Engines" book: A 1 hour or something film, that condenses the stories of the book into the movie format. The starting point would be the visit of Flying Scotsman to the island, but it would also explore the end of steam in the mainland and stories such as super rescue. It wouldn't exactly be "Thomas Centric", but I think it would be nice to watch nonetheless

    While for a custom of Thomas, it's an interesting take, to say the least, but if you remove the Thomas face and put it in an industrial livery, like put it in the same livery as Arry and Bert, you'd have an excellent industrial tank engine, like this could be the previous privatized engine at the Sodor ironworks or a departmental shunter at Crovan's Gate engine works.
