I always like this story, as it reminds me of a story where a Diesel (can't remember if it was "Revolutionary Era" Diesel or one of the Scrapyard Diesels) got put in their place by an Electric Engine who put it plainly by saying "Revolutionary? You're just as clapped out as these old kettles on wheels,electric's the way forward now.."

well, if you want the technical reason for why the boiler tubes would be snaking out like that, the most probable cause would be a boiler Steam explosion. in short, if the water in the boiler gets too low, the firebox can collapse or buckle, and then you've got superheated water rushing inside. goes off like a small bomb, blows the boiler tubes out the front, and well... it's a bad day for those in the cab, to say the least.

"You are modern... But for how long?" This was chilling to the bone, Carson, it truly was. Props to you, Jake, Andrew and the rest of the SW team for their hard work. Happy belated Halloween.

“There is one place, however, that the engines avoid.” ... And it’s the one place the series (after season 8) *refuses* to bring back! In all seriousness, this is the best ‘Arry & Bert story, keeping them how they were originally intended, but also evolved them to having more realized personalities! The waterphone music (used in numerous horror media) is especially creepy. Bert being the more complex one of the twins is rather fascinating considering he’s the silent type back in his debut. I also like the small role Derek has here. Very sympathetic to the old engine’s fate and isn’t a one trick pony (him constantly breaking down would get old fast, no wonder he’s only prominent in one episode in the show).

I have made a character named Ansel he is a Beattie Well Tank Engine who came to Sodor years before Thomas arrived. Ansel happened to be a close friend of Edward’s Ghost Engine and some other long missing locomotives who haunt other sites. Since He was long taken out of service and placed in a dark dark corner of the Smelters he was glad he still had his face but he was very rusty from all the years awaiting his end which might never come and will continue to suffer the utter misery of the Smelters.

I loved stories like this as a kid. The great thing about live action Thomas was that it occasionally made episodes like this which were dark but had some form of moral behind them which wasn't forced down your throat. Animated Thomas has made a disgusting mockery of the classic era and sadly modern day toddlers are being raised with this shit modern version that only teaches you about friendship and nothing else. Kids need shows that aren't afraid to tackle dark realities because it makes you more resilient as you get older. I loved feeling slightly unnerved by certain Thomas episodes when I was little and now I look back at the first 5 seasons with a great nostalgic fondness and i can really appreciate just how much thought and care went into the visuals and music of the show. Plus what toddlers need to be reminded of today is that these are machines first and foremost which is why I think your episodes and animation style would work so much better than the episodes that are being put out for tv now. Kids need to see what Thomas should look like and be reintroduced to some classic characters. Who cares if the parents say it's too grown up and scary because I'm pretty sure that toddlers with a genuine love for trains will be much more gripped by these episodes than the rubbish they are getting on tv.

@@jacobmassey3897 - I never had a problem with CGI Thomas. It *did* had a rough start during Nitrogen’s tenure, mainly because of the writing. I felt bad for the voice actors, both Michaels and the animators at the time. Then, we had a short lived renaissance during S17-21. But because *hardly* anyone outside of the older fans watch the show and other shows like Paw Patrol are more popular, Mattel decided to copy those shows with very little success. But, now the show is officially over after 24 seasons and unfortunately rebooted into another hollow children’s show that’s copying *everyone* else and *not* attempting to showcase its own identity. I’m not looking forward to it. I’m sticking with the Railway series, season 1-7, The Pack spinoff, *most* of S8-11, the 4 Nitrogen specials, the majority of the Brenner era and Michael White’s episodes.

What a wonderfully simple, yet powerful and immensely affective story. I ADORE ghost stories, but this one was on another level. Addressing Arry and Bert's macabre role they play in the end of many engines lives. Even after it ended, I had to take a few minutes to think about it and let it sink in. That's how much of a punch this had! Very well done! Filmed, directed, written beautifully! 👏🏻🎃👻😁

Survive the scrapyard the killer

Bro, legit chills. That little tank engine only had a few lines but is such a rememberable character!

Dark Night for Bert really moved me in a deep way. Just from a few lines of dialog from their debut in S5, we see a side of Arry and Bert we never saw before, and develop their character! The lesson the little engine passed on to Bert in respecting older engines and the concept of death was very touching. So much so it covered the subject in a unique way and with it provides an important value everyone should learn. It’s everything a Thomas Halloween special should be. I think it's a masterpiece. Bravo to the entire team at Sodor Workshops for making this project a reality. Happy Halloween! 🎃

Chills all down my spine was what I got towards the end. Beautifully crafted special, mate. The video's tone captivated me and I could honestly see myself rewatching it many times. Nevertheless, a dark tone to a dark story is the apex of any halloween special, and you and the crew did an excellent job with this one.

This is such a good story.. the ghost feel when Bert was talking to the "shell" of the old engine only to find out she was never alive added to the eeriness, outstanding job!

I like the creepy pizzicato tinkling in the score. Classic horror music trick.

Ah so this is your version of “Specters Warning” Good Job! The red glow of the smelters adds to the creepy factor very well!

My god. This has got to be one of the best fan productions I’ve seen all year. Of course, I’d expect no less from the man who brilliantly adapted the Richard Stories, but still, this was phenomenal! The narration did a wonderful job setting the tone, and I love the mood set by the visuals and lighting! The story was strong, and very well written as well. Hats off to Carson, once again!

One word SHIVERS down my spine the scrap yards is a very underused location and arry and Bert are very under used as well this was a very interesting and spooky story I did like the engine or should I say the spirit of the engine this was really impressive the visuals and everything just was amazing bravo

Great retelling of Spectre's Warning. This one had a more sympathetic, especially with the scrap engine. I also loved loved loved the added bonus of not just showing the engine's lack of a face, but the twisted pipes/rods where it's face would've been. Amazing detail and a great halloween story.

I always liked this story; simple but very thought provoking. In some respects I'm actually amazed it doesn't serve as sequel to some of Richard Jordan's own scrapyard stories. Almost feels like it was cut from the same cloth. As always another smashing adaption! As for the video quality? Delighted it turned out so well for you after much experimentation and help from other users. No one can ever predict what their video will look like on youtube itself.

You’ve outdone yourself...once again! The visuals and dark tone in this one was out of this world, great job!

Damn...that smelter shed is amazing! For some reason, that rusted wreck looks like an old 3D model that Richard made when Sodor Island 3D was in its infancy. I think it was called Risha? Either way, this was certainly a spine-tingling episode!

well Carson tonight was your best one yet, that was the best atmosphere a film could ever want, that red, the sounds everything, makes stepney gets lost comic relief compared to this, that rustic engine, with that ending when the face was gone, it was a fear that would make anyone faint. Jake was spot on, as usual, the route he made was amazing to. keep up the great work, let’s see how long you keep up this on schedule premiers as well😉 hope there’s more to come in the last few months of this dreadful literal world, but amazing virtual world

The execution for this story was just perfect. The atmosphere was breathtaking. Amazing work man! You really outdid yourself with this one

I have to admit, that twist at the end gave me chills. I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I love the atmosphere that you bring to BuriedTruck's scripts, on top of Jake's narration. It's quite interesting seeing the diesel characters confronted with the idea of one day being in the shoes of the engines they revel in sending for scrap. Also a nice way of showing how Bert may well just be following 'Arry's lead in their actions after all, a nice tidbit picked up from their debut story where he's just the silent muscle of the pair. Looking forward to seeing more content from you guys. Great job!

I didn’t say anything earlier after the premiere but Holy This was fantastic! The build up and eventual reveal, and the fact that now there’s a little more depth to a nobody bad guy character Bert. And the music was stellar “You are modern...but for how long?” That line couldn’t be more true. Fantastic work, proud to be a subscriber!

Loved the smelters lighting.

That two second Richard cameo made my Halloween.

I’ve heard and seen this story in many variations (and kudos to those creators) But let me tell you I SHIVERED when I saw the reveal of no face on the engine for this one. The rusted boiler tubes dangling out that give a crazy imagination of what actually happened to the engine legit scares me. Amazing work as always Carson, give Mattel a run for their money😂

Wow. This one kept me on my toes, no doubt. At first I was kind of sad to see the old steamer go, but then to find it still had it's face!!! Could Bert be turned around and actually rescue this poor old thing, somewhat like Rusty with Stepney? But then that ending, holy cow! I think this is a very fitting arc for Bert, could make for interesting stories down the line (pun intended 😆).

This is beautiful. It could have easily been a S5 episode, (maybe with some modifications to not scare the children too much) but still leave an impact on them as Duncan Gets Spooked did. This will serve as great inspiration for when I write my own S5 styled episodes especially the scary ones.

Maybe just give it a regular smokebox door, the boiler tubes terrify even me and the implication that *the engine died from a boiler explosion* is pretty violent.

*"Time will go on, And you will be replaced..."*

I cant express in words how much that hit me, even tho I know how simple it is, yet so effective. The look on his face when he looks back to see no face on it kinda gave me the chills but I bet it freaked him out more. Very well done :)

One of my favorite episodes from this channel. I love the dreaded feeling of this episode. Plus, the twist at the end did give me a shiver the first time I saw it. Love to see another episode like this on Halloween THIS year (2021)

The Beginning theme and engine cameos and Richard cameo this was so good my god this whole episode was so good keep up the good work Carson and his team

I feel what gives this video a few points over other adaptations is we’re not shown the front of the engine until they speak to Bert. Other adaptations I’ve seen tend to show the face of the engine right off the bat, but with this, the twist of the engine being haunted is more effective. Really well done. Also, liked the Derek cameo. We need more Derek in the fandom.

I think this the best adaptation overall. Closer to the TV series vibe, brilliant voice acting, detailed models, and great camera angles. Also I like the use of Derek as the delivery engine, his display of compassion towards the scrap engine suits his persona.

These stories are so good well done to you and your team for this Halloween special and for making my Night!! This was so good I’m lost for words well done Carson and his team I loved this. And I send lots of love 💕💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The premise was... Nothing stands in the way of time and progress forever, not even for Diesels like Arry and Bert

That is a great story to have for Bert. Him getting a scare from a scrapped engine and then receiving a taste of his own medicine. It's just what he deserves. If only Arry could get something like that too. Well done making this video and TheBuriedTruck really did a super job writing this one out :) .

I guess that old narrow gauge engine had one spark of life left in it! And it used it to teach Bert a very good lesson!

This was a really good spooky story. The ending piece of music was immensely sad and somber while retaining it's creepy vibe. A very sad episode indeed, but I like how it never stops being a Thomas story to go full scare. Very well done!

That was awesome! And very eye opening! "you are modern, but for how long!"

Carson, everything about this video is the perfect Halloween Thomas video! I just love everything! I adapted the same story but yours is superior from mine! From the visuals, to the narration. To the music, and then to the lighting (not just the smelters sheds). The scraped engine is my favorite. She is rendered so well and her story and design really helps to get chills sent to my heart. You should be proud of this beautiful work you've done! Well done! Keep it up! :)

This is probably the best version of the story I've seen. The camera angles, the voice tones, the music and sounds were just perfect.

A wonderful surprise using Derek in this adaptation, great work!

What scares me is that despite crashing into that mine and supposedly having a boiler explosion, she thought she could still be restored. Meaning she was alive, or at least in there somewhere, hoping she’d be saved, possible even feeling pain

It's nice to see some real character development for the "mean" diesels

I don’t think it was yanked. The boiler tubes snaking from the smokebox could be the result of a boiler explosion. The tubes snaking out of it, real result. Has happened. Even thinking about it, basically your own oversized metal veins stabbing through your head, through your face… and the line “I was so sure that they’d mend me”. *Not only can an engine basically have their face stabbed through from the inside, but they can survive it.* *Oh god.*

You can argue this is why Arie and Bert changed after season 5. Bert realizing that he could end up being scrapped just like he nearly did to Stepney really showed him a different perspective in life. You can be the best at what you do now but one day someone can easily take your spot if you aren't careful. They still messed with engines afterwards but not to that extent again.

In fairness to Bert, if there was ever a diesel to prove the Old Engine wrong, it's him. First built all the way back in 1952, the Class 08, of which both 'Arry and Bert are members along with Diesel, still has over 100 members in regular revenue-earning service into the 21st Century, with a further 70 in preservation. There are Class 08 diesels that have outlived some of the last generation of steam engines!

Everything about this is awesome. The story, the models, the narration... everything. Your videos are awesome dude

This is how you should do horror in Thomas. The most memorable scary stories are the ones where you're not sure if something is really there or not.

I loved this! Wonderful work everyone who worked on this. I am counting this canon.

This chilled me to the bone and it's also true show some respect for the dead

Goodness, what a chilling episode. It's fun to see episodes that tell stories from a darker point of view. Good job Carson.

Greatest. Halloween special. Yet. And god, that ending music gives me the most chills of all, despite it not necessarily being meant to traumatize!

Very true and heart in the description Carson spot on can’t wait for this to watch the next day as it will be premiering late as I have to sleep at the earliest because I sleep very deeply as I usually enjoy high-quality during day time I wish you all the best you and your subscribers I shall watch it when I get home happy Halloween CJ Ashworth P.S hope Richard gets a peaking role in this.

Woah! This is the BEST Smelter’s Shed I have EVER seen in these types of videos. Most of the smelter’s sheds in videos I see aren’t that accurate, or they’re like the ones in TATMR and CAE but this shed is so accurate with the red eerie lighting. The outside scrap yards are extremely accurate also! Such a chilling and amazing adaptation to this story!! Well done!!

what a Spooky Story!, that is an Amazing Job.

Wow! What a fantastic Halloween video. That was as spooky as it gets. Great work Carson! 👍

This was an amazing video. I love the kind of ghost story where the character doesn’t just scream and and run, instead thinks about what happens. It was interesting to see this happening to Bert. I also love the fact that it stopped him from being so cocky.

It’s not a complex story, but very simple and haunting. As if the show were an inch closer to the dark. Great job as always!

I love it! It's just a mix of eerie and mysterious

I can't wait! Happy Halloween 🎃👻😁

Could have been more spooky but it was definitely well shot. Had a hard time seeing things though with the “rusted controls and steam pipes.”

The cinematography reminds me of the hit era, but in a good way

I can imagine the old engine just laughing her nonexistent ass off from scaring Bert this much

Lovely as always. Good on you and your team.

The cinematography is breathtaking hanging on to every word and picture on screen

this was so good for a halloween video! i loved arry and bert in the video. happy halloween carson!

because of this video I've seen other renditions of the story and this is by far the best one, please keep doing scary type stories

Well, Carson, after watching this new video of yours, I have to say that it was pretty good and it was also cool to see Richard again even though it was in a non-speaking role, but it was still pretty good. All-in-all, in the end, I don't know what you have planned for any more videos you may do before this year's over, but I sure hope we see more of Richard again, so until then, keep up the good work and stay safe during these difficult times!

That was fantastic, I wish those models of 'Arry and Bert will be released :)

The aura in this is so terrifying, and I love it.

That was awesome this channel is so great

Lovely remake as always

the engine got what it wanted, going out in peace.
