-then you have this photo of Percy at Knapford with the treacle/mud from Plunge on him, something he would've had on him on the Brendam set. Meaning, Brendam must've been built BEFORE. My conclusion is that Brendam was the first set they built for S2.
My bigger point: all-
-the big harbour scenes for the accounted episodes were filmed and the set was taken down before The Missing Coach was cancelled. They needed a replacement episode, hence the random pick of Thomas & Trevor from the annuals, and thus the squabbled together old harbour set (which-
-is 100% made up of reused assets from other sets). Reshoot/new shoot a couple scenes for Percy and Harold, and boom. Harbour inconsistencies explained, and we found our replacement episode.
Am I off base a bit here? Yeah probably

Biggest video production-wise: The Tugs Analysis video
The amount of work and planning with @TheTugsProject that went into this thing is more than anything else I've ever worked on. And I loved every second! Was very happy to give this forgotten show some time in the spotlight
Ok folks, I’ve been trying to make sense of Quarantine 20 using the shot list and photos for reference. Not everything on the shot list aligns perfectly when you put it in order, but I think I’ve mostly figured the episode out. A thread:
Episode opens same as the 15. Star explains the heatwave and how ships with the plague are being quarantined.
Cut to the Star Dock. It’s very clear there was more here that was cut out of the 15. The shot list mentions Big Mac is present here, but perhaps he was removed from filming at the last minute, or he's just off-screen and has no lines. (Scene 2)
Trying to take my mind off stuff, so fuck it here's a thread of my least favorite face of each Thomas character
Thomas had a lot of weird faces. This one I straight up don't like, it doesn't look like Thomas to me
I don't think Edward had a bad face, but they really did this one dirty when they gave it those stupid eyebrows. What emotion is this meant to convey now?
I've talked about this with @wrduckdog several times and I want to share this
Gordon is the protagonist of The Railway Series.
He is the only character we follow the ENTIRE journey of throughout the course of the books. In the very first book, he's brand new. He's a hotshot-
-and boastful. And in the last book, he humbly retires.
Gordon's journey is kind of amazing. He starts as a hotshot, his arrogance catches up with him in Off the Rails, and he grows up. We learn his history. We meet his family.
Gordon is also one of the few characters that shares a bond with each main character in some way. He and Thomas used to hate each other and eventually ally, he learns to respect Edward, he has his sibling rivalry with Henry, he tolerates James, he has his laughs with Percy, etc.
