In this video I delve into the production of how the pieces of rolling stock, also known as the coaches were made in the classic seasons of Thomas the tank engine and friends.

finally somebody had made a video about the express coaches. The reason why I liked Gordon in the first place. Thanks for making this video.

What about Edward's other coaches they were similar in color as the green with beige express coaches but instead they were smaller and instead of bogies they only had 2 wheels at the front and 2 wheels at the back

I would’ve covered those, but we still haven’t discovered if they were scratch built or from a certain brand. So there’s not much point.

I had no idea there were so many different variations of the express coaches! I remember as a kid thinking there was a black variant as well as the green and red, but that might have been down to video quality, or maybe the way the green looks different against white as opposed to cream/beige.

I know you briefly touched upon this, but I feel like I could further explain this topic. In Thomas and the Magic Railroad, new models of the express coaches were made. These were shorter versions with thicker black roofs and had cream top halves. In season 6 they added a yellow line down the middle of them and that design has since become the norm with them.

I have a theory if the Orange Branch line coaches (having their last appearance in Edward's Exploit) were given a red paint and roof replacement as their reward for helping Edward getting his visiting passengers back home. I know Orange is my favorite color, and you know what? the Orange coaches could have appear more often as the Red branch line Coaches if Annie and Clarabel would have been Brown like later on in the Railway Series, so they would have remain Edward's Coaches while the Red branch line coaches were James', Percy's, Duck's, Oliver's, and other engines who used them.

0:26 I think this counts as a mixed traffic train that Henry is pulling seeing as he's got two coaches as well as a goods van and Brakevan which was quite an uncommon site in both the UK and Australia but is however not unheard of in countries like Africa and Asia
@karltriebel4262 Жыл бұрын
It may be a parcels van, which was designated the same class as passenger coaches, but it may be a goods wagon. In the UK it was technically forbidden since 1889, but often seen on local services.

Why not cover the old branch line coaches, I believe they had 2 sides, one orange and one the color we always see to fill in for other orange coaches
@FlyingFishProductions Жыл бұрын
Because the brand they were made from hasn’t been discovered, or if they were scratch built instead and what parts they used so there’s wasn’t much point in covering them. Especially since I talked about the 2 sides being flipped around in a video from a few weeks ago.
