I'm just your average Canadian wolf. I'm a siren enthusiast and railfan as my main hobbies. I run the Civil Defense Sirens Wiki, and am working on restoring a few vintage sirens (such as a FS&S Model L and a rare Sterling Siren MOD. F) as well as a 1970s Safetran mechanical crossing bell.

  • If you wanna hear something hilariously bad, check out Sondra Prill's "unique" cover of this song. It's basically her shouting the lyrics at a bunch of people on the beach, and was so awful she's tried to have it scrubbed from the internet. To no avail, of course.

  • That was a season 1 episode, and the strike wasn't about their working conditions, it was because the three main tender engines (Gordon, Henry and James) decided they were too important to be shunting or fetching their own passenger coaches. They believed it to be beneath them, something only a lowly tank engine like Thomas should do. Since Thomas was away to work on his new branch line, they refused to work.

    The Fat Controller got fed up with their jackassery and hostility towards another tender engine, Edward, and ended up buying Percy to do the shunting work. He then locked the three engines in the shed to teach them a lesson while letting Thomas, Percy and Edward do their work so they could think about how silly their actions were.

    It's worth noting that Sodor didn't have much of a road system, and it was entirely reliant on the railway to move goods and passengers around. Having over half of the railway's motive power on strike for such a silly reason put Sodor and its people in a very precarious position. The engines were let out a few episodes later once they realized their own egos had put everything at risk.

  • They let him out in the very next episode, which people seem to forget. Henry was bricked up for blocking the main line, which was a vital artery for the entire country in the show.

  • They actually did basically this exact crash in the Season 5 episode "A Better View for Gordon" when Gordon smashes through a station wall. Season 5 was wild.

  • How long before Russia is rolling their old steam locomotives out of their museums and pressing them into service? Not that they have the infrastructure to support it, of course.

  • Quite the opposite, you want the locomotive to be as heavy as possible without exceeding axle or track load limits. The heavier it is, the more weight it can pull before slipping the wheels.
