Hoo boy, The Half Engine. A video with a whopping 1GB worth in size, has a full fledged voice cast AND is eighteen minutes long.
This video is without a doubt, the BIGGEST project I've undertaken this year, with production starting back in August, only now finishing up mid-October!
This project is a labor of love; both to the story and to the horror genre as a whole! I am a big horror nut and really wanted to tap into a more darker side of Thomas horror videos that what I have usually uploaded.
A big thank you to all the VAs who participated and agreed to be a part of this production; everyone did a bang-up job!
And a MASSIVE thank you to Unhelpful Git, OhShootTre and KiwiConductor for the model of the titular Half Engine! The end product turned out wonderfully!
I hope you all enjoy this very dark and spooky tale!
My theory as to why Gordon was spared is that the Half-Engine only goes after those who mock her appearance, as that's what drove her to madness. Gordon only said he didn't believe she existed, so I think she charged him as a warning. Something along the lines of, "I am very real. Disrespect the legends, and they will come for you."
That’s a very good point! She spared Gordon for sure! To be honest I almost thought that maybe he was going to try and confront her to stop her, like make her smile.
It’s probably why she went for the coach behind him
I agree with all of you guy’s statements
Bruv why ar you so smart Juses that’s the reason why Gordon was spared I thought for sure he was dead
That actually makes sense.
I love sound design of the Half Engine screaming in the background far before she even appears on screen, just reminding you that she’s present and around.
Another commenter pointed out something far more frightening...
At 3:14, you can barely see her funnel in the fog... And at 5:49, she's in the nearby sheds just barely out of sight.
I saw that too. Pretty spooky.
The sound I kept hearing that sounds like a scream in short bursts is the sound of a fox call. But it gives you that impression that she’s around all the time even when she isn’t, until you hear those long screams
You Know The Half Engine Maybe Horrifying But Not As Intimidating And Scary As The Xenomorph's, Yautja's And Even The Berserkers In Gears Of War
They used the shed 17 scream !
Interesting to me how no-one seems to mention how if you look closely in a couple scenes (namely 3:14 and 5:49) you can see the Half Engine lurking in the background. She's stealthier than you think.
In the fog, and the shed nearly offscreen
I just looked back and I seen her funnel and her face in the background like you said
Holy crap I didn't realize until just then. That's really cool but also super freaky.
whoa-....NOW IM SCARED
The half engine is a personal favorite fan-made character of mine. Considering she can be hidden in plain sight suggests she has the potential to be present in other stories without anyone knowing. She could be responsible for a number of spooky incidents that are currently unsolved.
This is probably the most disturbing engine I’ve ever seen in a fan-made story. It’s incredible! 10/10
Almost as disturbing as what Mattel turned ttte into
@@ohioanempire You're thinking of Mattel, not Disney
@@WatchVidsMakeLists thank you
Yeah you’re right! Especially the close up after Gordon goes there’s no such thing. I think this is was more freaky cause finally someone didn’t do a Timothy story
Seeing the half engine's skeleton face was extremely disturbing to look. I was deeply disturbed seeing the scene where the half engine was charging towards Gordon.
It's an interesting touch with how you can here the half-engine's screams and wails quietly in the background of many scenes.
That’s actually a fox call, they sound like screams sometimes. Worst animal call I’ve heard in the middle of the woods at night is a mountain lion. Can only describe the sound as “a woman getting brutally murdered
@@lemmyspeaks
I hope the cougar's shrieks aren't the reason older attractive women are called "cougars"; that would be disturbing.
I need to look up why that word is used in that context... Wish me luck.
EDIT: Okay, thankfully, the real reason is not that. "There’s a connotation there of a wily, experienced feline going after a toothsome little rabbit."
About time someone did a adaptation of this story
Wait…WHERE DID THIS EVEN ORIGINATE FROM THIS?!
NCO Pictures
Well the reason why not many people adapt the story is because at the the original audio story had a disclaimer stating that no one was allowed to use his story without direct permission.
Yeah, narrow guage puts in his videos now that unless you ask first and get the okay from him, you can't use his stories. I think that was mainly because people were just taking his audio and overlaying it onto new videos. Videos like this with their own narrations and not direct copy and pastes he is alot more lenient on, but still best to ask first.
Indeed
I dont think a Thomas and Friends ghost story has actually left shivers down my spine in ages. That was actually scary! The screaming, the model of the ghostly half engine, the build up!!! It was marvelous!! I very much hope we see a follow up as to why Gordon of all engines was spared her wrath
I think that we can all agree that this will give us night terrors for weeks
The original author of the story actually explained thar he just didn't have the heart to kill Gordon. With the in-universe explanation being that it was The Half-Engine's way of bluntly telling Gordon that she was real.
I’ve seen a theory that Gordon was spared because he didn’t mock her appearance. All he did was say she wasn’t real, so she only took half of a coach.
Something tells me the coach may or may not have mocked her appearance.
@@sdmedia1323 The coach was just the Half-engine's way of telling Gordon that she is very real. And since he just denied her existence, rather than openly mock her. She did that so he would remember her.
@UCFfqRBEdFoo8GGfSRxI4VCA I remember that. Was that the one where the ghost engine went, "You... disturbed...MY SLEEP!" That one?
Can we just appreciate how terrifying 13:58 is, props to the model creator for this terrifyingly good engine model!
More weirdly, is how the engines and rolling stock affected by the half engine don’t fall over after being cut in half. Tho it is in Trainz Sim so it’s not easy to do.
If you ask me, it adds to the supernatural aspect of it, and I think it would've been neat if -- at least for this adaptation -- they pointed the detail in question out.
it's possible that she deliberately cuts them in half in a way that means that the half that remains is left with incredibly good balance after being sliced, thus causing it to remain upright despite the presence of gravity.
That was intense. This just blows Carson’s “Demons” out of the water, and having just watched Thomas1Edward2Henry3’s video discussing his thoughts on it, that’s saying something. The half engine’s backstory itself is sad and sympathetic. It just breaks my heart when someone is born with some kind of deformity. Lastly, the half engines face when she charges at Gordon is going stuck to stuck in my head.
F***ing A, man.
@@joeleboeuf you disgust me
What does it mean when something blows something else out of the water 💧
@@fanofeverything30465 To be even greater than the previous thing.
@@joeleboeuf Thank you 😊
This. This is the one story out of all of these that made my skin crawl and scared me half to death. I felt honestly bad for the poor girl, but I dont condone her actions now. I hope that at some point the Half Engine finds some sort of peace
Her screams did gave me the shivers for that half engine and I thought she would take Gordon but I’m sure glad she didn’t I hope that half engine would find some sort of peace too
The only way she’ll have peace is when she has the rest of her face.
Literally half to death
Get it
Half engine
Half to death
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@aplane9625 yeah that was so funny. NOT!
I hope so too 🙏🏻
So no one's gonna talk about how the voice done for Gordon straight up sounds like Christopher Lee?? I didn't know that was something I wanted in my life, but now I just want more. Amazing job all around!
He did sound like Count Dooku for a sec
If only Christopher Lee had actually voiced Gordon while he was still alive. RIP to the legend himself (fun fact: he actually passed away on my little sister’s second birthday)
@@comradeopthomasthehedgehog R.I.P Christopher Lee
@@fanofeverything30465Who Christopher Lee?
@@GabrieleMicelli He played Count Dooku in Star Wars
I already knew what was gonna happen
But your brilliant editing, sense of timing and music choices really added another layer of pure terror to the story
Wonderful!
It's a great dream of mine to build a model railway of my own and rewrite the story of Thomas and co in my own image. As a matter of fact, if I ever do get round to it, I think I might just include this story in the form of an entire character arc. I was thinking it would revolve around Rebecca (who comes to Sodor in between Percy and Toby in my AU), trying to help the half-engine overcome her pain and start anew after she and Thomas come face-to-face with her in the Whistling Woods.
This was very well made, the "reveal" of the half engine when she charged Gordon was actually scary. But what was really terrifying was that she was watching them so close by at the end
wasnt just at the end. she was close by the entire time. at 3:14 shes in the background watching james through the fog. and at 5:49 shes just barely offscreen next to edward.
@@MasterOfTruck oh damn, didn't see that, it just makes it even worse, always lurking and choosing who's next
@@soggypotato yeah. it kinda shows the premise of her hostility. it was those who mocked her appearance that became her victims (and the 1 engine by proxy that was sent to scrap her) since it was those making fun of her that drove her insane. the story creator said gordon wasnt killed simply because of title character immunity and doing so would just be wrong. so its widely accepted that he was spared because he never actually mocked her, he just didnt believe she was real. so her going after the coach could be interpreted as a warning that she was letting him know she is VERY real and he should watch himself.
“Perfectly balanced, as all things should be”
This is far from perfect balance, I can assure you.
That's a very Communist thing to say
R/cursedcomments
Literally
Lol
Good lord, I haven’t felt such chills since I watched Shed 17 for the first time.
Truly, this video was a nail-biter. The twisted backstory of the half-engine, the gruesomeness of her misery, her screams, it all mixes together into something absolutely terrifying.
STELLAR WORK DUDE!! This was an awesome Halloween video! 👻
Same here
This makes Shed 17 look like All Engines Go
@@fanofeverything30465 that shit actually made me feel sick a bit when I saw Thomas ripping himself out of his shell… that scene still kinda haunts me a bit… (I think it even uses the same screams as the half engine in this video)
Dude. You knocked this out of the park!
I don't even know where to begin! The visuals, the cast, the atmosphere....it's absolutely perfect! The Half Engine herself is the cherry on top of this incredible adaptation!
Hats off to you, friend! You've created a worthy visualization of one of the most deranged Thomas ghost stories ever. Bravo! I eagerly look forward to seeing what else you have in store!
Been watching more of these Thomas horror stories and this is now another favorite among 'Revenge of Ghost Train', '10 O'Claw', 'Phantom of the Arlesdale', 'Demons' and TheBlueSnowplow's miniseries with Hawin and 1020.
Daaaaaang. This is one of the best adaptions I’ve seen regarding audio horror stories. The model of The Half Engine looks horrifying, too!
I agree her screams really did scare me
I'll say, I've seen an engine so mishaped and so terrifying at the same time.
Now I know there’s no limit on how disturbing a sodor horror story can be
wow, this adaptation of the half engine was totally cool, and even spooky for that matter, you and those who took part of the adaptation did great, especially for the voice cast, and even the animation for the scenes were just sick (awesome). you sir, did an awesome job on this adaptation of the half engine.
ive always wondered what would have happened if the original half engine was merged with another engine that also had such a fault when it was constructed, or if she would try to take over an existing body to finally be complete but then create a power struggle in the engine with 2 personalities fighting eachother all the time unless they would both be at peace
So many questions about train biology and how it all works when they become ghosts, it's hard not to want more information about a particular wraith and how they exist.
Only just finished watching - and GOD BLOODY HELL, I didn't expect it to turn out as disturbing as it did! Hell, even when reading the script during the recording of the lines, I sorta expected disturbance, but not to this level! Like, hearing myself yelling Gordon's name under deafening muffle was unexpected!
Man, you've really outdone yourself here! And thank you for letting me provide the voice of Gordon's Driver!
6:51 GREAT to see Victor! I love using him on my layouts cause he’s dang strong plus has a good traveling theme song. You don’t see him used a lot these days
where would u find his model?
@@lemonwizard8395 I forget exactly where I found him, I wanna say Sodor Workshop but I don’t think that’s it, type in google and it might show up on a different page
@@DoctorDetroitVideosStuff looked on workshop didn’t see him and Google search don’t much help either, but thanks for trying though!
@@DoctorDetroitVideosStuff Victor, that’s the name that the steam works engine.
13:38 The scream sounds like TINKY winky from slendytubbies
Damn, that engine is definitely scary enough to put the fear of god into anyone... or any engine
Now we need a sequel lol
As a person who doesn't get scared easily, I was not expecting that! As most ghost stories in the Thomas fandom are either cringe or not scary at all but this was well done and probably one of the greatest ghost stories in the fandom. The models you used were amazing especially the Half Engine itself. Keep up the good work!
Ooooooh, I’m stoked for this. I loved this story when it came out, I can’t wait to see your take on it
Wow. This is the first time seeing an adaptation to this story. You could say I can't "half" believe this. Well done on adapting one of Narrow Gauge's last HOTR stories that he done/read on and made by NCO Pictures. This is very well done and very scary indeed. Have a Happy Halloween!
Wait last?
@@wellthatsjustprime4107 Yeah. This is one of Narrow Gauge's last stories for his Horror of the Rails series. He uploaded the last remaining set months ago.
@@Bulbasaur617 oh I only just found out. I think I found him last year ish
@@wellthatsjustprime4107 Same.
You think you're funny?
Pure gold. Like, absolutely pure gold! This was such an amazing watch! You and everyone else involved did a tremendous job bringing my story to life. I especially enjoyed all the extra scenes and dialogue you added in. Really helps bring the narrative more to life and makes it all flow much better. And the reveal of the engine in her "wraith" appearance legit had me frightened. Your use of IT music also helped a ton. XD Overall, this was amazing. Im so happy you decided to adapt it, and im extremely happy so many other talented people have taken interest! All in all, good work man, and keep up the good work!
Am I the only one who can barely hear the half engine screaming in the distance from 10:41 to all the way until she charges him. And you can still hear it afterwards in the distance. You can also hear the screaming right before James finds the scraped half engine.
BRAVO MAN. BRAVO.
The editing, the cinematography, the music, the lighting, everything was of extreme quality and really brought this story to life. I love how much you relied on the visuals to sell the story. Makes it all the more effective. I also love how well you saved the Half Engine's face reveal until the very end. I admire that restraint and makes the big scare all the more impactful.
A terrific project well worth the wait. Two thumbs up!
Alternative AU:
Help.
The Engines that worked on the railway gave her the support she needed to keep fighting on, Today she works on Stepney’s Line Although hard to hear, she is greatful she was able to keep fighting.
It sounded as though she were in immense physical pain as well, which is going to make it all the harder to beat depression. Sometimes there is no help to give.
So she's the other terrier that's on the bluebell... whatever it's name was idr
or maybe eventually they finally finish making her face
@@novastardom2689 i think you meant fenchurch
@@greythepercyrepaint7888 i think it’s impossible tbh
This will probably haunt me for the rest of my life. That was absolutely terrifying
Wow. Listening to on narrow guages channel ages ago and I liked it. Now to see an adaptation of it, to see the horror and pain coming from one engine that was unlucky to be given half a face and to be ridiculed by most, swearing that they'll all pay. Great work. Hope to see more like this.
I felt really sorry for the half engine. She didn't ask to be different 😢🥺
If this was an actual episode then I would've had nightmares for a very long time
Just noticed rewatching this that you can see the half-engine watching James in the fog when he encounters the scrapped engine.
I didn't see it
@@mrrobloxgaming3613When the camera looks at the scrapped engine that James finds. Look to the left, you can see her chimney poking up in the mist behind it.
When watch it the first time I didn't see here in the fog
@@sonicscott9119 3:14 - OH SHIT, HE'S RIGHT!!!!
watching james through the fog and BARELY offscreen next to edward at 5:49. thats why you can pretty much hear her screams throughout the video. its because she was close by watching the entire time. only her lurking appearance at the end is obvious since the camera literally pans directly to her.
This to me was absolutely the most terrifying Thomas adaptation. I can't decide whether to cower in fear of her or wanting desperately to help her. Does anyone know whether she was ever given a name, or if they never bothered to call her anything other that "Half Engine"?
Not aware of anyone else giving her a name, but I refer to her as "Banshee". For...obvious reasons.
@@alexerny5552 how fitting. After first seing this film, I had a dream/nightmare about her, and for some reason I kept calling her Veronica.
This is by far the best adaptation I’ve seen of Thomas fan horror story, the effects are amazing and visuals are goosebump inducing. ESPECIALLY how the half engine was handled, holy fucking cannoli that’s one creepy train.
12/10 I’m subscribing to your channel and I’m eager to see what diabolical stories you adapt or even create next!
Jesus Christ, this was easily one of the most terrifying stories ever! Wow.
13:53 this is what I call scary to the bone. That half engine face is scary and but detailed great.and the screams are perfect too.
Half Engine: I HATE RUDE ENGINES!!!!!!! *screaming rage pain*
Gordon: I'M SORRY!!!!!!!! *screaming* 13:58
This…. has to be, the cleverest spookiest special I’ve ever watched for years. This became my new horror favourite!!
I watched the original audio story again a few days ago, then this appears in my recommended tonight.
An all-round effing brilliant adaption of one of the most demented stories to come out of this fandom. And bloody hell, the model of the Half-Engine's ghost is the cherry on top. Props to everyone involved here: the atmosphere, pacing and editing were all pitch-perfect, to say nothing of the voicework, music and sound effects. Defo one of the top 10 Halloween stories to come out of this fandom this year, along with The Killdane Experiement, 10'O Claw & The Token.
(Fellow horror film fan here BTW; my fave film of the genre - and one of my fave films of all - being Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Cliched choice I know lol)
“And every year on the date of the accident, it runs again. As a warning to others. Plunging into the gap. Shrieking like a lost soul!”
A legendary adaptation for a legendary story! You really have some high quality videos on this channel, and I think this is your best yet! I can't wait to see what you do next!
You know what you should've done? Wait until the half engine attacked Gordon to show her face.
Now that would have been awesome
How fitting that my favourite fan made Thomas spooky story is one of my favourite Halloween videos! Astounding adaptation
That was probably the most disturbing and scariest things I've ever seen and heard, especially the scream.
My God, the screaming, her pain, and the engine at 13:58 just made my heart stop, put ice in my veins, my skin to crawl, and my blood run cold. Gave me goosebumps, too.
I’m so excited to see this all unfold!
If I'm not mistaken, when James and his crew saw the scrapped engine wasn't the half engine screaming faintly?
She’s screaming throughout the whole video if you listen close enough
@@LancashireAndYorkshire yep. and thats because she was nearby the entire time. she was watching james through the fog and barely out of frame next to edward at the sheds. the screams only became REALLY loud when she charged directly at gordon.
@@LancashireAndYorkshire really?!
@MasterOfTruck I never noticed until you pointed it out about Edward
@@LancashireAndYorkshire
Actually, most of the screams you hear throughout the video are foxes.
Yes, seriously.
This is an outstanding story. I can see some similarities to 10 O'Claw by Rheneas Productions but I like the change of Thomas being the one to tell the story for once!
The disturbing history of the Half-Engine. The Half Engine has become a spirit after a fire at the scrapyard. Later Gordon finds out that the Half Engine is indeed real after hearing her scream in pain. Half Engine warning to Gordon: Im indeed real, never disrespect legends or they'll come to haunt you. Thankfully only a coach was sliced in half and not Gordon. Gordon was spooked as to what he had seen.
Chills, chills! This was an amazing video, filled with spooky tensions, especially when Thomas and the other engine went to the fire! Great video! ❤
ok.. that was amazing! Loved the visuals and the effort put into this. It gave me a very good scare there man. Keep it up!
This was definitely unsettling. It’s sad how she was treated. This is fictional but still
i liked the scene where the half engine said "it's halfin' time" and halfed all over the place
Definitely one of the most disturbing Thomas fan stories I’ve ever heard, anyway I really liked the remake! it has that sort of uneasiness just watching it! I’ve rarely been scared by a story like this one especially the scenes where the engines and the coach get sliced in haif! Fantastic remake it really did scared me with the haif engine charging towards Gordon as well as the unsettling atmosphere and it didn’t help that I had the lights off
Wow. I legit haven't felt that disturbed since my first time watching Timothy...
Timothy is nothing compared to this, for the love of Awdry that was a poor engine who was needing something. What I have no idea, she was a Terrier and Seeing as I am using Terriers (Locomotive and Dogs) for my own logo, I am shocked. Stroudly would of been the only one that could have helped her, may someone write a happy ending for her.
Ghosts are in my opinion are imprints much as in Pottermore, but when you are in a world of living trains, they are surely more. This makes my character Blake Stone look tame and his face is literally riveted together, being a Toy train in a world of living toys. Granted he is far from innocent in how he gets the way he is.
@@Plokman040 I wasn't necessarily comparing Timothy but you're still right. Today Timothy isn't really anything that special, but I was a kid when I first saw his untold story videos, and you know most kids can easily get scared of something, let alone something from a childhood show. And Timothy didn't really have that much of competition either; Clinchfield 311 wasn't that all scary to me because I always thought that entity was a regular locomotive with red smoke and headlight even as a kid.
@@hehe-IgoBRRRR Fair enough. Red smoke you say? guess it was using Doc brown's prestolog, boiler explosion!
Seriously though why are so many trains seen as evil or ghosts, this poor engine has a reason but I never understood songs like "Long Black Train" as a metaphor for doomed souls. Almost all American steam have black paint so yeah if the thing has a certain number I'll get out of dodge but the face of Thomas is a 4-8-4 if you grew up with shinning time. 844 is quite a long machine as is her cousins Challenger and Big Boy but they are benign if not pure locomotives.
Sorry for the rant. But indeed, Timothy never scared me as I never saw him till I was 20 and I'm more scared for any engine working at scrapyards.
"Sleep.... You disturbed my sleep!!"
Wow, this video actually sent chills down my spin, this really spooked me good!
That is the most scariest roundhouse of horror I've ever seen
I have no idea what the heck I just watched, but it is one of the best things I've watched in a long while!
It's the scariest and most creepy Thomas Halloween I've ever seen!
The horror of the half engine is really creepy!
Very well executed! Im highly impressed by the custom half engine models. Beautifully horrifying modeled faces, not just a flat texture. The voice acting was also very well done.
Nice touch with the soft cries in the distance long before she shows up. Was that the amnesia “suitors” theme playing during her attack? Sounds familiar. Nice choice regardless.
Superb camera work too. I had to watch this one a couple times. I hope we get to see more of this half engine in the future. Seems a shame for her to only get one appearance.
One small criticism. While she sits idle out of the shed… “singing”? Perhaps an “idle” expression in contrast to her “attack” expression would have been a touch more fitting. And perhaps sitting sorta tucked away amongst some trucks or inside a dark shed rather than in plain sight.
Beyond that, wonderful work. I will be watching your carrier with great interest 🎃
Edit: im also a major fan of the horror genre. I certainly hope you will continue to play and experiment with this genre!
This is one of the spookiest stories I’ve seen in my life. And also one of the best, I’m shaken to the core right now this story was so great and I know for a fact I’m gonna have trouble falling asleep tonight! Keep up the good work! :D
Never thought Thomas could be unironically creepy...
Wow... like, wow!!!..... what a way to end Halloween, i honestly won't be able to sleep tonight now. What else can i say but a superb adaption 10/10.🔥Narrow Gauge will be proud.
i love this! ik the editing was a pain but u did it so well! great job bro!
It's like all of the ghost stories, the ones who don't believe it at first, are always the ones to run into it first.
That had to have been one of the scariest things I have ever watched. Fantastic job!
This is the most terrifying fan made Thomas story I've seen. Great work.
This adaptation was amazing! Great work!
I really liked this video. I do want to ask if I would be allowed to use a few bits of the audio from this video if not that is ok I wanted to ask before I do anything because I have my own version of half engine i am doing
I loved reading this when it was still in its draft stages, absouletly marvelious! :)
This is by far the most tense and disturbing fan story to date
Keep it up mate this is phenomenal
5:49, look on the right of the screen, and u will see her... She's watching, waiting, looking for her next victim, now James has found one of her victims, our Favorite number 5 might be next, but she goes for the ones who take her story badly first before she's truly takes a life...
A too good of a scary story i already binged it a few. I am impressed by this adaptation.
It's actually amazing that the narrator to "Thomas' Friendship Tales" can be the narrator to a Thomas story like this that is dark and twisted.
That was really amazing! 100% worth the wait!
This was amazing. The music, the models, sets, and how you were able to make the half engine and the green engine cut in half. The Half-Engine's attack on Gordon was terrifying. I also love how much the engines' crew is involved in this story. It adds a sense of realism. It's amazing how far you've grown in the Trainz and Thomas community in such a short time. I'm looking forward to what you've got next. Last thing. Are you going to do a sequel to this, or will the engine just appear as a recurring or guest character in future stories? Maybe you could do one where she meets her brother Stepney and finally finds peace.
It would be a shame to let the model go to waste. Also, is this story free to adapt? Because I'd like to do my own RWS/AU version of this. I feel this story would do best in 1925 as only five engines really are present throughout it, the same as it would be in 1925 just after James and his stories happened. One critique I have of this story is that it switches from James to Gordon as the main character. I'm not blaming you if you adapted this, but I feel it should've opened with James going home and seeing the engine. It would've lessened the focus off him because as it stands, it seems like it switched main leads pretty fast. I do like that Thomas is telling the story for a change.
“Wanna see me cut an engine in half?”
“Wanna see me do it again?”
I wish there was a sequel to this. The Half Engine is the same shape as Stepney. And as far as anyone is concerned, Stepney doesn’t know about her.
Jesus, this is one of the best Thomas and Friends related story's I've ever heard. Great Job!
That was pretty spooky. What a perfect Halloween treat
I've heard those screams that the half-engine does whilst charging at Gordon in many other videos on RUclips.
What are those screams originally from? Are they featured in anything or are they just a downloadable sound effect?
Well.
If engines could soil themselves, that would be how to find out.
Because that thing was terrifying
Impressive. Most impressive. I liked that reference to the Jack Frost Episode from S6. I could see this in the OG seasons for real!
14:05 Gordon was lucky that he didn’t got to half
The moment when Gordon scream only for it to be drowned out by hers sents shivers down my spine
Who could've known that some person with smudger's face is pfp, yet able to make something that scares the hell out of kids.
Haven't seen a piece this good since The Wandering Coach and The Chilling Cutting. Where are the sequels or the finishing pieces to all of these?
The half engine died a life of misery and now.. will forever bear it.
13:59… good god…
Goodness!! You did an amazing job! And all on Halloween no less! Great job!!
NOW THIS IS PURE NIGHTMARE FUEL. 10/10
probably the first thomas video that's genuinely spooked me
That’s the way a horror story should be made
I hate this music
Excellent adaptation mate and Sodorrymodeler did an outstanding job with the Half Engine 👍
Heard this story back when it was first released in Horrors of the Rails 4b. Glad to see it get adapted after all this time :)
Welp, top three scary Thomas things.
1. Sodor Fallout
2. Shed 17/Project G1
3. This
Where is the audio of the Half Engine screaming from?
Every 27 years
