Spencer the Grand - Audio Adaptation

Spencer attempts to take on a foggy day while reaching his destinations. But on his journey, he discovers that poor visibility isn't the only danger.
This was one of those ideas that's been in my head for a good few years now. While the Nitrogen era of Thomas has a bad reputation, I've always had a soft spot for Spencer the Grand. I felt it was an interesting concept, as well as a pretty good story for Spencer's character, even though it's still held back by repetition.
I wanted to have a go at re-writing it, removing the repetition, as well as adding a spooky twist of my own.
This also marks my second attempt at creating my own artwork, this time using lining and overall making them look a bit more cleaner than the ones made for The Blizzard.
Huge thanks to GencyFan23 for both creating artwork and giving feedback for my own art that I made for this video.

Just wanted to address a mistake in the credits. Turns out the original episode was written by Jessica Sandys Clarke, not Sharon Miller. I apologize about this and thanks to @HarryTheMediaDude24 for pointing it out.

Brilliant adaptation! I do like Spencer's determination in the actual episode, even though it still doesn't sit with me well due to the three strikes formula and how Nitrogen's fog is so bad that it makes it hard to see (hence why the fog in the model era proved to be much easier). Here though, I love how it was illustrated and I love how you made it into a spooky story with Spencer seeing these silhouettes of all the different lost engines. I even got emotional when I heard his quote "I don't deserve your kindness" referencing the numerous times he treated the Sodor engines as inferior before. And I think it's no secret that CGI Spencer is the grandest depiction of his character, especially since the model era he is the main lead but is overshadowed by other main character. In CGI however, he actually gets a main lead to himself on occasions like Hero of the Rails, Spencer's VIP, etc.

Thanks. I always liked that particular line from the original episode and wanted to keep it here. I agree with what you say about Spencer's CGI portrayal. Considering pretty much all Hit era episodes had main characters in the leads with a few exceptions, it's nice that the nitrogen era did a bit more with him.

This was really a great re-written adaptation of spencer the grand, some of it was a bit spooky, but still a great story. Nice job on the audio story narration along with the other user that helped out with some of the illustrations and thumbnail. 🙂👍

Even though it’s not a good episode as it was from a very bad era, it’s still a very well done adaptation. Heck it’s even better the original episode itself.

@jimmythemineengine3585 8 ай бұрын

I'd like to think that in the early days of the railway, Edward was one of those engines who tried to travel during the fog, and that he was one of the lucky ones since he was the express engine at the time and could outrun the figures.

@Bulbasaur617 9 ай бұрын

This is a perfect rewrite of this story. Instead of the repetitive pattern and such, this turned out to be a fantastic story with a scary twist in it. Nice to see Spencer go through a tiny journey on being prideful in the fog to being careful in it. Also nice to see Spencer have a spooky encounter of his own. It gave him a lesson that you should be careful in the fog. Or suffer the same fate as those who are lost in the fog or crashed in the fog. Well done on the rewrite!

@TankEngine97 9 ай бұрын

The original episode was pretty mediocre. (Doesn't help that the 3 strikes formula was present and the fog effect did make viewing a little off put). But here, you made it much better. Plus I think a lost in the fog story that has a spooky tone is better because of the mystery.

I'm a bit confused. How did Spencer travel down the Elsebridge branch if he just left Crosby? Also, why were the engines laughing about Spencer traveling down the loop, if there isn't any loop lines on the NWR?

@zafool4997 9 ай бұрын

Are you sure there’s no loop lines on the NWR? It’d be pretty stupid of a railway it’s size not to have at least one.

@randeshjayawandhane2844 9 ай бұрын

I'm positive. If you take a look at Awdry's map of the island, you can quite clearly see that there aren't any loop lines. That one story where Gordon went down one was written a long time before Awdry had the whole world building thing sorted out, and has since then been discredited.

@Heychrissy148 9 ай бұрын

@@randeshjayawandhane2844this is supposed to take place in the tvs cannon, not the rws cannon and here the loopline is in fact a thing. I recommend watching unlucky tug’s map of the tvs.

@Enigma2Me 22 күн бұрын

I think that was what the other engines THINK happened to Spencer. Given the supernatural elements present through this audio drama, I'm inclined to think that he was supernaturally turned around back to Tidmouth, and no one realized it because the fog was just too thick to verify what really happened.
