The COMPLETE History of the Sodor & Mainland Railway (1856-1923) | North Western Predecessors

Nice! Also I like how Henry was originally S&M in this AU

Wow I never knew Thomas The Tank Engine had such lore! This has gotten me very interested. Your editing and the clear interest you are putting into this is honestly pulling me in alot, cant wait for the next one!

3:36 Love the livery on this engine, lovely colour. 💚

The fact that one of the Neil brother God scrapped made me sad

ngl that porter you got is FIRE

I haven’t given the Sodor & Mainland Railway much thought yet for my headcanon; been focusing more on the other two, especially the Wellsworth & Suddery Railway. Currently I’m thinking that only the two Manning Wardle tank engines (named Charles and William) make it all the way to the present day, while the Sharp Stewart perished in a horrible accident. As for the Tidmouth, Knapford & Elsbridge Light Railway: besides the Coffee Pots, there’s at least one engine that was purchased from another railway, a North Eastern Railway Class O 0-4-4T who primarily worked in the docks and freight yard at Tidmouth and occasionally ran down to Knapford. Interesting idea about Emily. She’s definitely old enough to be something the pre-NWR railways might’ve wanted to own, so that’s a very natural way to retcon her in.

I gonna say one thing that explains my thoughts of the au: yes

3:15 The home to Fergus, the Mr. “Do it right!” Guy.

I like this universe so far

Nice video mate, very good. Best wishes from the UK as always, hope all is good with you. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

2:26 I'm guessing this was Bloomer? Just wondered.

Whoa! You're so underrated, bro! Great vid, you just got a new subscriber!

Really interestong that NWR was formed from the grouping act. My AU stayed with the canon of NWR formed in 1914, though would later be grouped with the LMS in 1923

wowie

I have to ask, what railway will you be doing next?

Can you do the skarloey railway next will their be an engin who was the original number 3 but scrapped that would make it interesting

You should do one about the W&S railway history

You didn’t mention about the railway and two other railways combined

Are all the other engines 2-8 scrapped?

quick correction: a dean goods could not have been purchased by the S&M in 1883, as the class was built in 1899
