Shooting Star

Could you do Gordon in the 18 colour palette?

Suddenly cozy Gordon

Have a sketch page of my two favorite old coots (James and Edward would have friendly sparring sessions since they're both similar in size and strength, but James didn't know that the first time they locked buffers so Edward humbled him just a little bit.)

Heres another clip for a realistic Henry whistle! I think this suits him very well! A powerful whistle for a powerful engine!

Realistic TTTE Whistles

maybe this is is unpopular opinion but I don't like the synth whistles in TTTE . I think its worth making headcanons for what I think the characters with synthesized whistles would actually sound like because steam engine whistles are one of my favorite sounds

(also, not all of the characters are here because I really want to hear other people's headcanons/opinions on this, so im only listing the ones I have strong opinions on)

Henry

- Henry goes first because he's my favorite

- the title is misleading but I do really like the sound of this Black 5 .... it chirps XD its similar to his synth whistle while also being more accurate (also lol I listen to this video a lot the kid on the platform going "w o a h" never gets old)

It also kind of reminds me of the tiny little note that plays in Henry's sneeze when Henry blows ashes at the boys on the bridge

Gordon

- kind of stuck on whether I want to keep him with a low toned whistle or a chime whistle, but I decided to settle on the chime one

the first and second whistles in this videos are pretty close to how I'd imagine Gordon to sound, unfortunately it's a bit difficult to find what an original A1 pacific/A3 would sound like, especially considering scotsman's whistle has been changed out a couple times (and I think gordon would object to sound like someone blowing into a recorder at full force)

Thomas

its times like these I wish there was more easily available information on E2 whistles so i went with the two next best things

not even the only well known footage of E2s has any good whistle recording x_x (im talking about the Southampton docks video) and I had to search surprisingly far to find a USA class's whistle

this is the sound I think of when Thomas rudely wakes Gordon in S1 E1 and it has a lot of attitude, bonus because its from an 0-6-0

YOU CAN FINALLY THROW THE EGGS TO YOUR TEAMMATES AND THE CONTAINER
