These three are probably my favourites in the Stories of Sodor series. These three having a podcast also works because they jump off each other very well. Good job! 👌
Interesting first episode to the podcast, never thought James would had a lot of knowledge of cultural landmarks of Scotland. Never heard of The Wee Hoose until now but after hearing this, it sounds very interesting. As for any future topics, I would like to hear them talking about weird stories they’ve heard from passengers over the years or talk about their thoughts on modern technology. It’s a good start, looking forward to see more of this podcast. Great work, Victor!
Here’s a topic I’d like you to discuss: The debate on if City of Truro or Flying Scotsman was the first steam locomotive to reach 100MPH. And here’s my question: Are there any other “illnesses” non-faceless vehicles can come down with which can potentially lead to their death besides metal fatigue?
Is it strange that it took me all this time to wonder about engine eyesight? Gordon is reading an article on quite a small screen here and that's common for both steam & diesel engines. I'm now wondering about the ranges of their vision and how they keep seeing ahead while travelling at speed without getting irritated or needing goggles/glasses.
Nice podcast! Really captures such intriguing facts and insights. It's fascinating to learn new things. A good topic that I can think of is looking at different designs of locomotives that are such an oddity like a Fontaine locomotive in America, for example.
The idea that engines need to catch up on sleep if they are pushed to hard, could be a good way of introducing Dennis. He could arrive on Sodor, the other engines call him lazy, only for Sir Topham to reveal that he's resting on 'Doctor's Orders'.
Questions for the 3 of them: • What were your reactions when Diana, Princess Of Wales, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, And Queen Elizabeth II passed away? • Where were you guys when 9/11 occurred? • Assuming if Rebecca is there with you guys; what do you think of her? Would she appear in the Stories Of Sodor? Question for Gordon: • How do you react to fans shipping you with Rebecca? Question for James: • How do you react when fans still think you're a vain engine due to the show? Question for Henry: • What do you think of HiT (early CGI series) and Mattel butchering your character?
Wonderful introduction to the podcast, Victor! Questions: 1. Do non-faceless celebrate their birthdays? 2. Are their certain vehicles that can’t gain a face? 3. Could the Half-Engine, or something similar her, exist in this universe?
My Questions: 1. *Spoilers Ahead for Doctor Who* What do YOU Think of the 13th Doctor's Regeneration into the "14th Doctor" (AKA, the 10th Doctor)? 2. What was the Best and Worst Movie/TV Show of the MCU's Phase Four, in your opinions? 3. When will you guys put out Podcasts? Weekly or Monthly?
You know, being a lego person who's RU-vid is his lego models, I really like listening to something in the background, good on you Victor! Hope to see more of 345!
I know a lot of Scottish culture and history. I hadn't heard of this! The story is intriguing, so much so that it was possibly quite true ! I have a challenge for all three of you.. We have just come through Christmas. What's your favourite Christmas Carol ? Over to you.. Guys!!!
There's some old mines near where I used to live, the entry is caved in so people can't, but there rumour that some of the old engines from the railroad who built the mines are still down there. Still in use, far far away from the surface. Also if your wondering where these mines are there in Brentwood, Tennessee. If you want to know where the entryway is, it's near the highway exit where the rail line goes under the interstate. The entryway is covered up and block now, so all you'll find is so old tools, rocks, and some old scrap metal.
In serbia there also is a tiny house on Drina river. If you mind you could read it if you want. Soo back in the day, the only master of the river where the pepole in kayaks and kanoos. There is a bolder in the midle of the river, soo copule of youngster created a platfor on it. Over the years they added more and more stuff on it. As for the bolder in the midle of the river there is also a myth how it got there. In folklore, there is a prince called Marko(he is a real person, but since we were under Otoman rule, stories were created to give pepole hope of liberation). So he with his hores was passing throw the area untill he ran into a river. He didnt want his horse to get wet so he took a bolder and threw it into the river and with two hops he whent across. Thanks for reading this :)
Them pronouncing house that way ('hoose') reminds me of how I first heard that pronunciation in Walt Disney's "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad". Made me wonder back then why they used that pronunciation.
It was really great to finally see the podcast be made. 👍🏻 Also another topic for your podcast could be about other people's Thomas and friends fan-made content. And my in-universe question is Have you ever imagine what it would be like to awaken as a different engine class or gauge? or even as a completely different non-faceless vehicle?.
Excellent first podcast, Victor! Would definintely like to see more like this in the future! Don't suppose a possible pitch for a reboot for T&F is an option for future podcasts?
If you are looking for questions for another one of these Victor then I've got one for the engine's anatomy. If the steam engines were to open their mouths and someone looked down their throats, what would they find? Would you just see their boiler tubes since their faces are the smoke box doors? Or do they actually have throat anatomy? I can't imagen why. We as humans have throats to eat and breathe, but I doubt the engines have lungs or stomachs. So do they have throats but only the essentials? We as humans have uvulas to stop food from going up our noses when we swallow, but since the engines can't eat I imagen, would they have one? Same for teeth, we only need our incisors to speak with, every other tooth like molars and canines are for eating food, so again, I wonder if the engines even have a full mouth of teeth. I got a few more anatomy questions but I think I've contemplated engine faces enough for today.
There was a small house that was the size of a bedroom, it didnt get sold and it became abandoned and was soon covered in trees Edit: henry would love that lol
In universe question; How do non-faceless steam engines, or any non-faceless vehicles with a smoke box get their smoke box cleaned? Do they just sneeze it out? If so, how many times?
When Gordon says that if an Engine’s Limits are pushed beyond reason, and that the results would be Disastrous, the first thing that comes to my mind is Boiler Explosion.
Ok yes, I absolutely love this, this is the greatest thing to come out in recent time following the scp of sodor series As for a question, mine would be what is the most painful breakdown for a non faceless vehicle?
So the first episode is about a local Scottish landmark hoax that's around 30 years old but believed by outsiders to be 200. Very interesting. If these are the topics of the 345 Podcast then I might tune in more often.
I have a couple of queries for the lads. Regarding legality: how is the surname of an NFV determined? Is the vehicle born knowing their full name or is the surname come from an external source like the designer of the vehicle? Regarding anatomy: what are the faces of the vehicles made of? They seem pliant like organic tissue but dialogue from the Sodor Specials suggest they aren't biological. Regarding abilities: can an NFV control the mechanisms of a faceless vehicle (such as the brakes of wagons or the cranes of a breakdown train) just by being coupled together? The choice of wording during Peter's trial suggest that he was solely responsible for firing the cannon without any input from any crew the cannon seemed it would require. Thanks Victor
I have a good question. Can an engine come back to life. Like if an engine dies in an accident and then is rebuilt. Could they come back to life, or is a new engine made?
I have 2 in-universe questions. How is green water applied to rolling stock? Also, as non faceless vehicles, well, have faces, if they get something on their face, around the mouth, can they taste it? Can they even swallow it, and where would it go? The fuel supply? But then that wouldn't apply to rolling stock since they don't have fuel... and how are their eyes able to withstand high speed, my eyes would be clamped shut if the wind from fast speeds hit it... and what are the faces even made of anyway? How do they even handle head on collisions then? Can they manually swing open their smoke box doors to look behind them? Each question is leading me into more! This would be one hell of a rabbit hole
A topic that you should discuss should definitely be Jeanne Calment of France, she held the record for having the longest lifespan of any human, she was born in 1875 and died in 1997 at the age of 122 years and 164 days.Her age has also been verified.
