Hullo there chaps! Did you miss me? Now where did I say that last? That's right, all the way back in 'The Diseasel'!
Same game as Break Van, spy the engine (and I assure you there is only one) that shouldn't be there. It appears twice!
But back to the episode. How did it begin? Well I sent off a message to Matt Cooper (Caledonian812) asking if I could reskin his RWS Skarloey layout wintry. He very kindly agreed and asked if he could do a narration. I had a slot free, so how could I refuse. But how did the actual story (one of my favourites as a child) come about? I'll tell you...
"In the first of another set of Skarloey Rail;way stories, Father combines two ideas: the occasion when No.4 on the Corris Railway collided with a bridge and broke it's funnel - the bits, with the collar that held it temporarily together can be seen in the Corris Railway Museum at Corris - and the offer of a Giesel ejector to the Talyllyn Railway, which was fitted to ex-Corris No.4. Icicles in tunnels were no uncommon either." - Sodor: Reading Between the Lines, by Christopher Awdry
