Despite the videos having a load of scary imagery, there are actually some rather amusing moments.
Since this is a Moments page, all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.
Shed 17
- The Fat Controller's first appearance has him ordering Thomas get off his fucking platform.
- A Running Gag involving Keith Hartley puking when asked about Thomas on various talk shows. Making it funnier is the fact that, while being interviewed in the modern day, he states he was rather professional about it, though he's probably in denial.
- The bumper for "next weeks" episode of the series the documentary was broadcast as part of, about what happened to Robin and Rosie Cockle after the events of Cockleshell Bay. In short, there was apparently an inquiry regarding Mr. Ship, Robin became homeless, and Rosie grew up to be a bitter racist.
- Apparently, Sir Topham Hatt's office includes rails right up to his desk, in case any engines need to meet with him.
Project G-1
- Keith's attempt to get his side of the story out on national TV, which leads to his answer being (poorly) dubbed over with a false confession to being responsible for everything. Doubles as a Take That! towards the British media's tendency towards sensationalism."Last time I go on Channel 4."
- After the Biofusion experiments are applied to tanks, with their faces covered during combat, it's said that the only giveaway was the cries of discomfort whenever a tank's main gun was fired or they took damage. What follows is a B-Roll of various tanks test-firing as the tank curses audibly. Later, when the military gets called in to stop G-1, these tanks are used into their efforts with multiple curses being heard as they fire.
- The montage of engines getting high off coal.
- After covering the titular Project G-1, Keith reveals that some of the testing undergone there involved mirrors. For people who seemingly cannot move substantially when observed (or between camera cuts), this is deceptively hellish.
- This comes into play later when Project G-1 gets released. One guy recording looks into the mirror by accident, while people captured on camera freeze in place allowing it to catch them.
- British Rail tried to save the Sudrian rail network with what is described as an "ill-advised celebrity endorsement". It's the late Jimmy Savile, who has a big grin and an arm around a boy wearing a look of utter terror on his face. Making it even funnier is the fact that British Rail did indeed use Savile to advertise the InterCity 125 in the late 1970s-early 1980s.
- Diesel is given a heartbreaking choice as to which of the coaches created from his wife's operation he wants to go into hiding with him. He chooses Annie in a heartbeat.Keith Hartley: It must have taken him all of two seconds.
- BRIAN BLESSED's cameo. Where upon seeing Project G1 with Gordon's face on the front he says that "Gordon's alive!?"
- The fight between Duck and Oliver. When it's not tearjerking, it's hilarious for how over-the-top it is, with Wolverine (credited as Hugh Jackman) as Duck's coach.
- Like its predecessor, this ends with a bumper for "next weeks" episode, this time depicting Babar as a brutal dictator who carried out a genocide of the rhinos (no doubt tired of Rataxes and his shenanigans), and was brought down in a revolution closely echoing Saddam Hussein's fall.
