Hello there, I'm Thomasfan, one of the admins here, so if you need help just ask in my talk page. Or if I'm not available ask ZEM, Goldenbear, or Vitas.

The Boxonian Railways
"The Boxonian Railways" is my version of the Railway Series(ZEM helped me come up with the name. Thanks ZEM!). It takes place in Boxen the imaginary kingdom of Animalland and India created by C. S. Lewis and his brother, Warren, when they were around 6 and 8 years old. Only I moved Boxen to between Ireland and England and shaped the island into a square (get it Boxen). I also got rid of India. I only have one story right now but I plan to write more.

People
I have come up with several(about 14) named people so far. But I only have two listed here right now.

The Bigg Controller
Sir Clive Hamilton Bigg(Clive is C. S. Lewis' first name, Hamilton is Warren Lewis' middle name, and Big is the last name of one of the main characters in their Boxen but I added another "g"; this is also an unintended reference to TUGS; "Bigg City Port")known to the engines as the "Bigg Controller" was the first owner of the Eire Boxen Railway. He received his Knighthood in 1902, from the(now defunct) Order of St. Patrick. The current(fourth) Bigg Controller has inherited the honorary Knighthood.(I'm not sure how Knighhood works. Anybody who knows please tell me in my talk page.)

The Narrow Controller
Mr. Thomas Fredrick Argile, known to the engines as "the Narrow Controller" was the first owner of the Whin Railway. There have been five Narrow Controllers.

Railways
There are five railways on Boxen. They are:

The Eire Boxen Railway
The Eire Boxen Railway was first owned by Sir Clive Hamilton Bigg. The first four engines on the EB(and the only ones I've really developed) are 1.Joshua(side-tank engine) 2.Lawrence(tender engine) 3.David(saddle-tank engine) and 4.Alfred(tram engine).

Whin Railway
The Whin Railway, is like the Skarloey, and originally owned three engines; 1.Whin(named after a nearby lake; the largest in Boxen) 2.Argile(named after the first owner of the railway; last name) and 3.Boxen(named after the island). All three are blue tank engines with red lining.

Windbouro Railway
The Windbouro Railway, is like the Arlesdale, and originally owned two engines; 1.Earl(red tender engine with gold lining) 2.Tyson(deep blue tender engine with red lining).

Blarney Stone Railway
The Blarney Stone Railway, like the Culdee Fell, is a rack railway, and is named after the Blarney Stone Mountains. The mountains are in turn named after the famous Irish castle because of the legend that the Blarney Stone came from the mountains on which the railway now sits. The legend states that stone was orderd from the mountains to build a castle in Ireland. The stone was sent and not untill a long time after that was the stone discoverd to give the gift of gab. The top station of the Blarney Stone Railway is a replica of Blarney Castle. The Blarney Stone Railway originally owned four engines; 1.McKinley 2.McKenzie 3.Blarney and 4.Dublin. They are all painted in an emerald green livery with red and gold lining.

Grotsdale and Torvin Railway
The Grotsdale and Torvin Railway originally owned one engine(technically two) Jeffery and Donald. They are painted in a red livery with blue lining.
