Guess the engine? Bit different. I want the loco class, if you'd please, (here's a hint, it's GWR) as well as the places it appears in the episode. This is it, Ladies and Gentlemen. This is what I suppose would be called an 'oddball'. A bit out of my usual style anyway. Something with lots of action, special effects that overloaded my computer, and a van named after a tea brand for the most tenuous reason. Hey, if Awdry can have S.C.Ruffey, I can have my tea van :P Big thanks and props to Matt Cooper, who coaxed and persuaded this story out of me. In the standard style, I wanted to do something like 'Toby in Trouble', a gentle story where Edward saves the day. The we had a chat, I realised that yards would be nice, and Matt threw out the idea of basing the story on a truck, while pointing out the lack of Oliver as a central character. From this, and a story I'd read about a hot axle box being cooled down by a couple of tea flasks, and it simply grew like topsy. I did enjoy making this one, and I'd like to extend a special thanks to the people who helped with this Ci: For agreeing to have the cameo after the credits. I've cut it down a bit to make it snapper, but it's a nice scene I feel. Matt: As I've said, for his ridiculously creative mind, along with his moral support through the various problems with this story. Louie: For the station announcer voice! Just chucked 'em in for a bit of atmosphere. Seem to have worked ;) Caleb: For his support and being a good sounding board, as well as a lovely person to chat to. Christian: An inspiration, simply. Inspired the end scene and a fair bit of the camera work in this. The chaps at the Sudrian Community: For being generally orsum. Need I say more guys? So, that's another episode done. I hope you like it.
