Gary has got to be the most machine-like engine I have ever seen! He's basically a Terminator for the huge majority of the episode! 😆

For those who don't know, Gary is a 4-6-2 LSWR H16 Class Tank Engine. Only 5 of his kind (including himself) were built between November of 1921 and February of 1922. Originally working for the LSWR (London and South Western Railway) and the Southern Railway, these engines were known for their strength, power, and range for hauling goods. To say the least, they can pull 28,200 pounds of force. Unfortunately, all of them were scrapped by 1962.

@@coleselley3745 Kinda like what happened to the PRR T1s. And no, the T1s didn't have wheelslip issues, it's that the K4s that came before them had stupid amounts of adhesive force and far less tractive effort so the engineers were used to being able to set the regulator to maximum and throw the Johnson Bar straight to full forward. When the C&O got to operate a few of these monsters on loan from the PRR, they had no issues with wheelslip.

@@kisarabanuja3254 The trouble is that Henry, Merlin and Gordon were all designed for passenger or at best mixed traffic use. Gary is a step up from all of them.

@@primeprover I'll lay out the details. Tractive effort (top 6 most powerful engines in the fleet by tractive effort in the series): Gary (28,200 lbf) - LSWR H16 Gordon (29,835 lbf) - GNR Gresley A1, his driving wheels are the largest out of these (at 6 foot 8 inches) so I don't know what you are trying to prove. Merlin (~30,000 lbf) - LSWR N15 with modifications such as smaller driving wheels (I predict 5 foot 8 inches). Geoffrey (31,325 lbf) - GCR 8K Henry (~33,000 lbf) - three GNR Gresley A1 cylinders (20 x 26 inches) and boiler (180 psi) paired with a GNR C1 cab, firebox and valve gear. I predict his wheels are roughly 6 feet. For reference: Murdoch (39,667 lbf) - BR Standard 9F

I seriously gotta admit that I personally just suddenly noticed that we're gettin' our official 3rd locomotive in the officially well-known Southern Railway livery from the Southern Railway SINCE Thomas the Tank Engine himself followed by Merlin meaning we've now got several locomotives from the Southern Railway residing on the Island of Sodor's own officially well-knowingly famous North Western Railway!

The pure shock Colin had when Gary could pull two trains was funny

My word, an engine who's personality reflects mine on a day-to-day basis lol.

This guy should pull an American freight train. He’d have a blast since they’re longer and heavier than British freight trains

You know, Gary's a lot like my Broadway Limited N Scale PRR T1. At the club I run at, we often have to run long trains over 3% or even 4% grades during ops. I usually run _multiple_ Bachmann SD45s (for those over in the UK used to Bachmann Branch Line stuff, these are more on-par with Graham Farish in terms of quality) on the iron ore train (28 ore cars weighted to NMRA specs plus a caboose, also kind of a pain if you're not used to handling short-wheelbase rolling stock with truck-mounted couplers) but since my T1 could easily handle our express passenger trains (the Silver Bullet) I got curious and decided to use it to restage the ore hoppers. It managed to solo a train that usually takes three relatively modern 6-axle diesels to pull.

It is nice to see that Gary will enjoy being a banker locomotive from now on which makes Gary very happy and puts him in a better mood. Fan Of Hiro, you have done well and keep up the good work dude.

This Gary guy looks very angry but is formal

Imagine seeing this lone tank engine pulling that many trucks down the line towards the big station

I've watched a very small handful of your videos but decided to give this one a full watch. I really enjoyed this story. Gary's dialogue was written well too, and I thought that the solution to his demeanor was very creative. I'll have to go back and give your other episodes a watch

You know, for an engine or tank engine of his size. he seems like a pretty calm chap

He push. He pull. But most of all he bank.

People see engine and think: damn that’s a strong engine. Gary: eh ok.
