To explain why James is here, this is a reference to the early days of season 1 with James being used to pull background trains before Thomas and the Breakdown Train, because of a lack of engines to use that don't break huge amounts of continuity.
My headcanon is that James was still on trial for those first few episodes, and the events of "Thomas and the Breakdown Train" took place after he was purchased by the NWR and officially made part of its roster.
16:32 well technically Charlie is indeed Edward’s driver not only in fallout but in the actual show and book, with Sydney being the firemen, however I can only assume that these are those same people but are driving different engines, since realistically engine crews aren’t stuck with just one engine to drive but are rather assigned different engines to drive…I think? But I just think it’s funny how Trampy made Charlie Gordon’s driver, and seeing how they interacted I’m not surprised Charlie wanted to start driving Edward more. Also the episode you were probably referring to was saved for scrap, where Edward meets the Vicar at Wellsworth, and the Vicar himself says Edward’s driver and fireman names. And Wilbert even mentions them himself in the foreword of Edward’s book.
this was such an awesome reaction and your compliments really made me smile :-) i’d love to see you react to the other ones, its always fun to see someones first live reaction watching these haha, but ya don’t let anyone stop you from uploading whatever you want bro, you do you !
Pleasure bro. You have real talent to share with the fandom and I do these reactions in support of people like you. The only reason I took a break was to throw my own hat into the ring with original stuff and VA work, which I’m still doing don’t get me wrong but it was so people see me as more than a Reaction RU-vidr, rest assured I’d love to do the others
Honestly, this video is a pleasent surprise, and I enjoyed the video! While I would love to see you continue watching this series, I FULLY understand if you don't want to, and will respect all your wishes!
