Quite a coincidence, though. At least Stepney is in much better shape than the Lusitania, which I would describe as a mangled scrap heap. Really is sad such a great liner had to meet such an end.

@_chan.burn.21_ 4 года назад

Stepney was always my favorite character as a kid, I was always drawn to his paint scheme and the cheerful little theme he had in Season 4 of the TV Series. I also loved Alec Baldwin's voice for Stepney in Season 5. I wish that they would do a BWBA episode where Thomas visits the Bluebell Railway and sees Stepney again, I mean after all, Britain is outside of Sodor and if Thomas can visit America then why not the UK?

@Terrier55Stepney 4 года назад

Stepney's just far too loveable! It'd be very sweet if he returned for sure, if done properly. Mattel probably doesn't want to mix with the Bluebell and vice versa!

@chucke.cheesesmichiganprod1254 3 года назад

Technically Thomas is in the UK because he was built there as a mix of other engines, like the extended side tanks of the rebuilt E2s (basically one of Thomas' base classes which would form him into the way he is, other railways like the Dean Forest Railway and Thomas' original home railway, the London Brighton & South Coast Railway) and the coal bunker of the E1s for example.

Stepney for me represents one of the first pieces of Thomas & Friends merch I ever had. My Granddad bought his ERTL model when I was very young (probably only just starting to show interest in the show). Of course since he's (Granddad not the ERTL) long gone now the model remains very important to me, and by extension, the real locomotive itself (but I do have a great love for small engines like the Terriers anyway).

Also, minor anecdote: When I went to the NRM for one of its steam galas, I was compoletely overwhelmed and had to sit down. When my head cleared, I'd realised that I had sat down staring right at Stepney, who was still in his BR Black livery at the time. I got to hop into his cab to take a look, which was really neat! (and interesting, as despite the exterior being black, his cab interior was actually a light cream colour). That really made my day.

Wow, Stepney has certainly lived an exciting life. Thanks for doing this, I certainly didn't know the engine's entire story before. On a side note, I'm shocked Hit/The show tried to sue the Bluebell Railway. Of all the dumbfounded things!! It's really sad the royalty for Day Out events became too much. I understand companies needing to make a profit, but that seems a bit too far, especially from engines which helped make the series what it is.

When I went to the Bluebell Railway, 3 times to visit. The first time I went, was on a normal day out. And I'd recognised Stepney, a tank engine that used to be in the "Thomas the Tank Engine" books and videos. The second 2 times I went was on a Thomas event, one at Horsted Keynes and then the other at Kingscote, where I found Stepney with Percy, on the bay platform

I have a A1 class terrier and I made his personality as a engine that was lost in one of the scrapping sprees and survived to be preserved still in a A1 shape. I like to think that when he does stop too quick he sneezes the soot out of his funnel. He then was saved and lives happily on a little line with a horse wagon named Cathrin, two brake vans named Nigel and George, a Pug engine named Mathew, a Pecket engine that I don’t remember the name of and his four coaches.

Stepney is one of my absolute favorite Thomas characters based on a real-life locomotive! I hope they bring him back in full CGI with a voice actor.

@BriceGum138 4 года назад

I don't care if the real life Stepney is out of service, this character deserves a return to the show in CGI. Heck, maybe we can hope for Eric Idle to join the series because this guy has got such enthusiasm. Maybe he would have something in common with Thomas the Tank Engine.

Well done and very informative documentary about Stepney history his apperance in both the railway series and the TV show! Considering its aged I personally think Stepney deserved its rest and if it where to steam again only ocassionally on special events like annversiaries!
