Top 5 favorite TBRS Episodes

This is gonna be a different post of mine that i thought of doing for quite alot and decide to do it. Some time or so ago i saw the british railway stories this was like thomas and friends but from what i heard of the creator Simon A.C Martin who made the series in 2007 that was group project from university and the series quickly got made and thomas and friends disappeared and soon after when the final episode aired and later on there was a book made about it that was release on july 14 2012 call tale of the unnamed engine which i plan to talk about and it's other books that were made. But for awhile i saw the episodes and can't help but really like the show a lot and the characters my favorite being stephen cause he's a holden b12 and find the design to be pretty much amazing so here's my favorite episodes from TBRS. 

Goodbye Stephen The green engine 


This one is a favorite of mine and i like how the episode opens with diesels replacing the steam engines and stephen telling his old friend that there's always hope for the engines to live on. Stephen was in a accident and the engines think he's gone only to return after spending weeks in repairs and gain a new coat of blue livery as his friends are all but happy to see him return. 

The last run 

A tear emotional episode but really like the epsiode which have stephen and allen talk about how they all started out in cospley hill and awaited being scrapped or rescue it has allen talks about his first day of work and remember his friends too and the last time he saw them. This came out in 2012 and seeing the show end with the end was really emotional but mainly how the series tells about the engines and what's going to happen to them and the last day of each of their passenger service.

The legacy of gadwall 



The legacy of gadwall was one of those episodes that i saw and how sir ralph who's actually herring gull took the name to honor his friend's legacy and was accused by scott aka flying scotsman as a impostor and told the whole story what i really like about the episode just how dark it has gotten and bombing of gadwall as the first sir ralph wedgewood and the wreck of it and how it happen in real life too but was at a shed not at the station. The flashbacks talk about big four companies like LNER LMS SR and GWR during the 1920s grouping act in great britain and stephen while narrating the events in this episode as he tells of the greasley a4s who were made and got their names which is the interesting part of the episode and the end of the episode shows how sir ralph wanted to keep his brother's legacy going and how much shame he thought he's done only to be forgiven.  

The Ghosts of engine past 


This one is a different one but a special episode than say episode 18 only call 17x. After the events of the previous episode Wensley came to the yards of copley hill while geoffry is in repairs and the subject of diesel taking over and presave where the first episode which was alf that was save from scrap and the gines wanted to be save too.

This one has a flashback where stephen talks to his brother harry who was at norwich thrope in 1957 but harry is so broken and knows he'll be scrap due to his behavior change was due to the war he face through as a hospital train and later change where stephen is the last of his kind pretty touching moment towards the end of the episode is the surprise appearance of gadwall who haunts the railways as a ghost spirit.


Day of The delitc 


This episode alone is among my favorites of TBRS delitc is a sinister villain despite never having a fae and what i like about delitc is how quietly he is and threatening towards gronk and how he knows that gronk shunt nigel to the out of use side and the engines at cospley hill think he was gonna be scrap but he wasn't and this episode continues on and when delitc broke down and taken away. When the engines demand to know why gronk shunted nigel and geoffry lead the tank engines to get rid of him and that makes a steam engine the villain and stephen tells the engine that they'll all be scrap which really is chilling. 


So that goes my favorite episodes of The British Railway Stories i wanted to name more but might have forgetten them but what do i know. I do plan to get the books of the series one day.
