S3 Ep. 5: The Sodor Garratt 

“You see? We’re virtually indestructable!!” *flies off rails at speed*

“You see? We’re virtually indestructible!” *5 seconds later* *NYOOOMMMM*

WILL: You see? We're virtually indestructible! (The Garratt suddenly rounds a bend too fast and crashes) CORY: ...You were saying? lol

I like Grady! He may be... different, but he still has a level of wisdom that Cory and Will should have learned from before their accident. A lot like Forrest Gump in that regard: not an academic or bioengineer or anything, but still profound on a level the so-called “intellectuals” can’t match.

Will: We’re a Garratt engine, we’re built to take on bends fast! *5 seconds later the Garratt crashes* Cory: You were saying?… I was laughing so hard at that part XD

I've been meaning to post here for a while now. As the creator of the Sodor Garratt, I'm pleased with the outcome of your story. I was fairly surprised no one has used it in a video up until this point, and I applaud you for doing so. Each character represented themselves nicely, albeit the fact that Grady seemed like he had mental disabilities, which wasn't in my initial thoughts in creating the character. Other than that, it was quite a nice and cute story. Good job and I'm glad someone finally used my creation in a video. Thanks again!

1:45 (Henry remembers his origins) I am disabled! And I'm damn proud of it!

I just want to say that I now regret making Grady mentally challenged. I wanted to put in a unique character but in ended up being disrespectful and I apologize for that.

Will's faces look like they belong on Diesel 10.

4:17 "Will you slow down, you idiot. We'll crash." That is why this is my favorite episode out of The Engines Of Sodor.

Interesting take on this fan character, specifically Grady. I liked how Duck and Emily were glaring at each other at Knapford, referencing "that" fan theory.

This is a great episode for such an interesting character! And I like how you gave Will and Cory such conflicting personalities, with Grady, strange as he ma seem, being the voice of reason. Great job!

Ken Barrie, you will be missed.

Toby telling them to shut up was pure gold Lol! Good job!

I can see emily and duck going at it.

That was a great episode. Part of it reminded me of the Season 9 episode "Mighty Mac" and the rest "Heroes". You know, WildNorWester also has a garratt character in the form of Rowan, which will be in time officially introduced.

Wow. I gotta get off my lazy back and get my Trainz series up and running.

Great work and great idea for a character! They should introduce him into the TV series! My only bit of "constructive criticism" is Grady, as you say in the description he's not intended to be mocking but the character just seems a bit off alongside Cory and Will. I would have Grady be more like a sensible "middle man" who often tries to acts as a mediator between the two during their arguments but ultimately can't control them. It could lead to a good story where after getting tired of their arguments or perhaps Will (as the more brutish of the gang) makes a comment about how they do all the work whilst Grady just sits there and gets a free ride, he decides to give himself a boiler leak or not let his fire light at all, thus proving to them both that he is an integral part of the team! I appreciate it would been quite similar to what you've done here but I think it's the kind of storyline that could well be told in different ways, especially with a character always joined together!

Actually, the position of Grady's eyes would be useful, since they probably allow him to have a better pheripherical vision to either side, and they're a long engine, so being struck from the side, or having someone wander too close to the tracks while they're rolling along could become a serious issue.

I like the music that plays when the Garrett arranged the yard and Grady is a pure sweetheart

4:38 "It was at that moment Will knew he f**ked up."

Why were Emily and Duck looking at each other angrily?

Will looks so terrifying when he smiles it’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen

Omg 2:01 though. Duck and Emily are angry at each other in the background.

Will: were indestructible BOM Cory: YOU WERE SAYING

I've always wondered if there was a Garratt on Sodor, where would the face be? On the front tank or the main engine part? Well we now have the answer.

3:50 - Watch your language, Toby.

4:46 trucks say the darnest thing aka my fav scene

I love the garrett engine it is quite strong Grady in the middle is right about being proud of who he is. What was a fantastic video well done mate

with Gordon's reaction to the explosion, it looks like he had a horrendous flashback *looks at NWR Origins part 5"*

Excellent job on those!!!!! I'm glad someone else thought Sodor needed to see a Garratt😉

Pretty good story I must say. I've been waiting for Sodor Workshops Garratt to finally appear in someone's series! A pretty fascinating conflict I must say.

4:35 You see?! We’re virtually indestructible!

Also, on a fact mate, I too have autism, (aspersgers Syndrome).

1:29 Edward's face

Who else is here after the garret for big world big adventures was announced this man was a genius for predicting Andrew Brenner and reading him

Just duck and Emily argueing in the background 😂

1:57 emily and duk are fighting

I do not wish to be mean, but a Garrett locomotive doesn't need a turntable. A Garrett can travel both backwards and forwards easily, much like a tank locomotive. I suggest that, in future episodes, the two ends of the Garrett take turns leading and trailing on trains. Again, I do not say this to be mean, it is just my understanding that Garrett locomotives were not meant to be turned around.

We need more derpy characters like Grady.

3:33 I bet they and mighty mack would make great friends.

4:12 -Who made that song and what's it an instrumental of?

4:45-4:46 -> “You were saying?” Cory asked after they crashed and broke apart.

The garrat is like Mighty mac but with a third face! I like it! Seems fiar to have three faces instead of one!

4:45 took the words right out of my mouth Cory

I really enjoyed this episode. this will be a episode to remember.

5:28 BIRD

I laughed so hard 🤣 when Grady talked after the introductions, why y'all made him special?!

anyone realize that he has a knuckle coupler and all of the trucks have a chain coupler? so how will they couple up?

There's got to be an episode were Grady has a episode just himself, he is just so hilarious!

They need to introduce a Garret into Thomas and Friends!

Garrat: *exists* Culdee Fell Engines: finally,a worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!

XD 4:46 how do you like your indecencies now

This was awesome! Love this story! Great work

Grady proves the Fact:That you dont need to be cool or smart to be good.

5:16 that noise

How does anyone not notice Emily and Duck arguing in the background at 1:58?

Another great episode nice to see the use of some unique engines such as sodor garratt and stafford.

"Building error." ROFL I gotta say, these three are a bit more problematic than Mighty Mac. Good thing that they managed to work together and stop a disaster from becoming even bigger. Out of curiosity, are you planning to bring in the new Gordon model anytime soon? It'd be nice to see him having just about the same size as Henry.

This three new characters wasn’t final version in Thomas film is the great race.

6:25 mr star

I can see Emily and Duck are definitely going at it!!!!!

Heh, nice episode with a unique character! Hope you'll try something with Geoffrey if his model is publicly released that is.

Will Cory and Grady are just like Mighty Mac except they are three heads

Oh my goodness I never knew an engine like that existed! What's the class?

Nice episode! This reminds me of Mighty Mac, but with an even stranger engine.

What is the name of the music where Cory says Will to slow down? 4:20

Grady sounds like Geoffrey, LOL!

OK I don't see the point of a turntable for Garret engines, I mean it's like with Tank Engines or Diesels.

I like the how a Garratt has been incorporated into your story. But they are not supposed to move independently of each other! It's still one loco, one crew, one control system!

7:27 why didn’t the tar tankers catch on fire well actually maybe they did and caused the fire to be even bigger and spread

I’ve actually seen a real Garrat loco at the Thirlmere Rail Museum, Australia. Bloody massive things they are.

1:58 Emily: Will you stop being so rude to me, what have I ever done to you! Duck: You replaced me as a Steam Team member! Emily: Who cares all you do is preach about that Tin Pot Railway! Duck: Tin Pot!

"We're virtually indestructible!" Famous last words.

6:46 I thought this man was killed in the Second World War (You guys get the reference)

2:05 Emily: FAN SERVICE! Duck: SJW!

I love Grady's voice! Its making me laugh!

Awesome! I actually saw a real garrat yesterday! The back tender holds coal, the front tender holds water, and the main engine has a cab and boiler and all those other interesting details

hey here's a question what if henry never had the accident with the flying kipper ?

this is extremely amazing! I love the Sodor Garratt model. I think I like Grady more. His voice made me crack up first watching XD Love the episode otherwise ;)

2:33 Will is triggered

*Grady* AN IIM GRAYDEE.... *Me* This reminds me of Henry in his original shape...

This new character never ahead to Thomas friends movie the great race😄🙂😀

Lots of weird Engines that'd make good TTTE Characters.

Is Corey's building error that someone spilled crack into his smokebox?🤣

I have strong respects for Grady because he's someone I could relate to.

2:08 duck and emily are arguing

I love how they just run right off the rails

What has gotten into Duck and Emily ?

"You see? We're virtually indestructible!" *dies*

Hit Entertainment, add this character to your show. It makes too much sense.

4:45-4:46 --> "You were saying?" Cory questioned.

THUMBS UP 4 GRADY

"what a lovely day look at all the flowers" how inspirational

2:22 Is this a North Western Railway or a Skarloey Railway? I mean, what's this? A North Skarloey Railway?

Why is Emily and Duck angry at one another

i love that midel engine face

I wish they added a Garratt locomotive to my trainz

Good episode but I wonder what what shed 17 logic could go into them not that I would do it

Great episode! I'm surprised to see a garratt in trainz!
