Reflections (18+) 

Before commenting, here's a few things you need to know. They might contain spoilers, so you may wanna read after you've seen the video. 1. The three Wellsworth and Suddery Engines in the flashback are named William (1), Gwendolyn (2), and Charles (3). William and Charles would eventually be rebuilt into Manning Wardle L Class tank engines years later, and be renamed Billy and Charlie respectively. As for Gwendolyn, she was sadly scrapped long ago. 2. For the scene with Phoenix and Rosie, Barry was supposed to be in Rosie's place, but after it was revealed he was actually a tank engine instead of a tender engine, I swapped him for Rosie instead. 3. The phantom of Nico at the post credits scene is supposed to be a redesign of an old ghost engine from a Halloween special I did years ago that had long since been deleted, and one I no longer consider to be canon to my series. I originally didn't plan to have it be Nico, but surprisingly, it seemed to fit. 4. One day I plan to write a story as to how Stafford rediscovered Tiger/Phoenix, but who knows if I'll get around to it? :P

It was an honour to help out voicing Nicodimus in your 10th Anniversary video, man.

The moment that most of us have been waiting for years has finally come, the time has come to learn the whole backstory and truth about this Oc character, I can’t wait to see this premier soon since I’ve been waiting for this moment for a very long time.

WHOA!!! Now THAT was a masterpiece!!! The story and visuals were VERY stunning and the backstory Tiger aka Phoenix told James was so emotional!! 🥹🥺❤ And WHAT a twist that all this time it was his brother Nico!! You should be most proud of yourself Ben!! And Happy 10th Anniversary man!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This might be my favorite one in the series so far! I like Phoenix’s (previously Tiger) backstory a lot, I also like James’s moment here as well; he vain and a little boastful but he does have his moments from time to time. The last few minutes was one I didn’t expect, this one was definitely worth the wait! Also happy 10 year anniversary to the channel 🎉🎉🎉 Edit: I was also not expecting TAOS Percy to make a cameo (at least I think it was him)

Wow, That was really awesome, after so many years we finally got the answer on what really happened to Pheonix (tiger), even with some of the foul lanaguage of the video, you still did a marvelous job on this video along with the voice actors that took part of the video. I really enjoyed some of the moments such as the references and funny moments, you named it. oh and happy 10 years of your youtube channel Diesel of Alrest.

I love how mysterious Tiger/phoenix is, he's like the boba fet of the locomotive chronicles

Happy 10 years Ben. I still remember starring in your series. And I'm glad we get to see Tiger again and finally hear more about him.
