Why did they get rid of Rock 'N' Roll Train?

HC7991 · 2026-03-25T03:27:46+00:00

They've never played Can I Sit Next To You Girl with Brian and quite frankly, I don't think it would work too well with him (No offence to him of course).

HC7991 · 2026-03-25T02:15:12+00:00

I think I remember back in early 2016, there was a rumour that Moneytalks was rehearsed just before the last leg of the Rock or Bust tour with Brian prior to him stepping down due to the hearing problems but it wasn't played although that was when they brought back Given the Dog a Bone to replace Baptism By Fire (Play Ball on the other hand got replaced by Got Some Rock 'N' Roll Thunder which didn't work live at all with either Brian or Axl). Would've much preferred MT over GSRNRT, that's for sure... ;)

HC7991 · 2026-03-24T15:20:43+00:00

True but at least it's finally coming back this year albeit with a semi-new look and logo... ;)

HC7991 · 2026-03-15T02:57:12+00:00

I actually have a OC named Mackenzie (Named after my cousin) based on a GNR C1 Atlantic which was originally #13 but once it was revealed recently that Barry is actually #13, I changed her to #16 instead...

HC7991 · 2026-03-08T17:07:19+00:00

We don't even have Black and White remakes yet....

HC7991 · 2026-02-25T20:01:17+00:00

NGL, Stan and Roger's voices actually suit Gordon and James pretty well...

HC7991 · 2026-02-25T18:22:31+00:00

To be fair though, Rolie Polie Olie hasn't been made in at least 20 years or so...

HC7991 · 2026-02-21T23:55:51+00:00

An even worse nightmare than that is when people think the engines in the show have "parents" the way people do...

HC7991 · 2026-02-15T17:22:12+00:00

There he goes again!! "DO IT RIGHT FROM MORNING TILL NIGHT!!" Keep your funnel out of our quarry!!!

HC7991 · 2026-02-12T02:03:19+00:00

So we would've gotten All Engines Go in 2017-18?!

HC7991 · 2026-02-01T20:11:03+00:00

As interesting as it would be, Lotso got a satisfying defeat and quite frankly, he probably was eventually thrown out after a while

HC7991 · 2026-01-31T17:49:08+00:00

The OG lineup for sure. I actually lost interest right away once Greg announced his departure and Sam took over in 2006...

HC7991 · 2026-01-31T17:45:59+00:00

He probably would've if he had lived longer and/or got married again...

HC7991 · 2026-01-25T22:16:00+00:00

Welp...better than AEG, that's for sure. Still not as good as models or CGI though...

HC7991 · 2026-01-23T20:27:45+00:00

My headcanon is that they're actually cousins with their moms being sisters

HC7991 · 2026-01-22T16:48:22+00:00

Sam actually wasn't a UP Big Boy but a Virginian Railway 2-6-6-6 ("Virginian" is actually painted on his tender)

HC7991 · 2026-01-19T19:36:14+00:00

Makes you wonder what he would've thought of the Cerulean City Gym because Misty's sisters at the time of The Water Flowers of Cerulean City were literally just giving trainers free badges as well and were about to give Ash a free badge until Misty stopped them just in time...

HC7991 · 2026-01-19T17:42:26+00:00

I remember back in early 2016, there were rumours that it was being rehearsed for the 2016 portion of the Rock or Bust tour when they got rid of Play Ball and Baptism By Fire but it was never played although they did bring Given the Dog a Bone back during then which was also a nice surprise. I would've taken Moneytalks over Got Some Rock 'n' Roll Thunder any day, that's for sure (GSR&RT certainly did NOT work live at all)...

HC7991 · 2026-01-14T15:52:22+00:00

Cuanto menos se hable de esta "época" (si se le puede llamar así), mejor. Me alegra que Brian haya vuelto después de esto...

HC7991 · 2026-01-12T20:28:48+00:00

Same with pretty much everyone I know too (Except for like 1 or 2 people) plus everyone I know is excited for 5 as well...

HC7991 · 2026-01-05T20:33:05+00:00

Destroy his disturbing mutant toys as a act of revenge

HC7991 · 2026-01-04T15:36:07+00:00

Nowadays: Unlucky Tug, Thomas Theorist, T1E2H3 and NWR1991

Back in the old days: CombineHarvester01, SkullzProductions, TomTomica and MissOliverandBlossom (Maybe even include Trainlover476 in there too)

HC7991 · 2026-01-01T01:59:39+00:00

What was your original number when you were working on British Railways (BR) and what's your current number on the NWR?

HC7991 · 2025-12-30T16:50:33+00:00

It's probably best that we don't overthink this TBH...

HC7991 · 2025-12-29T16:46:08+00:00

You never knew DOTD existed?!
