Liam the Emerald Engine
Liam the Emerald Engine is an emerald coloured tank engine who has the exact same body as Thomas. He was saved from scrap by Oliver, after Oliver spotted him in the Smelter's Yard one Halloween. Although he was teased by the engines for his shape at first, he later gained the respect off all of the Fat Controller's engines, after preventing Oliver from having a nasty accident. He now works with Emily on Thomas's branch line. He hasn't had a single accident, and is polite to all engines; he never retaliates to bullying as his motto is: Two wrongs do not make a right.

Binksy the Unruly Engine
Binksy is a Great Western engine, and the younger brother of Oliver. When he first came to the Island of Sodor, he constantly teased Oliver for his accidents, always leaving him in tears. Binksy in heart is friendly engine, but he refused to respect Oliver, until Oliver rescued him after being pushed into the Stationmaster's house. Binksy has learned to be very careful when it came to Oliver ever since that day.

Toadette the Brake Van
Toadette is Liam's brake van, she is the Female version of Toad. When she arrived on Sodor, Toad took an instant liking to her. However, like Toad, she can have a massive imagination, which almost caused an accident. Toadette helps Liam keep his trucks under control, like Toad does for Oliver. Toadette can also show her cheeky side, especially when she is being protective towards Liam, Oliver and Toad. At the end of the day, she is a kind and polite brake van, always addressing the engines as Mr. or Ms., when she addresses her friend as Mr. Liam whenever she is speaking to him. Unlike Toad, Toadette is pure accident prone.

Ringo the Cheeky Engine
Ringo (based off the Tank Engine from Bo' Selecta!) is one of the naughtiest engines to arrive on Sodor. He enjoys bullying engines whom are saved from scrap. When he first came to the Island of Sodor, he had a very bad habit of being cheeky towards the tender engines, but it didn't end there. He was almost sent away from Sodor after he was caught causing accidents in front of Bill and Ben as well as Diesel. Ever since that incident, he has learned not to use foul language, although he still bullies the engines who were saved from scrap.

Fan Fiction Episode 1: Oliver Tells a Lie
It was a summer's day on the Island of Sodor. During summer, the engines work very hard, making sure that they do all their jobs on time. One day, Oliver was taking on water, when James bustled up, boasting as usual. "Isn't my red paint lovely?" boasted James "Red is the most cheerful colour, wouldn't you say so?" "I... think so," said Oliver nervously, so as not to offend James. "You're right! Red's the only colour for an engine!" and he puffed importantly away. Oliver was worried, he didn't want to offend James, but he didn't want to lose his friends either. So he went to see the Fat Controller. But before Oliver got any further than Toad, the Fat Controller came to see him in person. "Oliver, I need you to shunt trucks with Duck and Thomas, I've would've asked Percy, but he is needed for helping Toby and Flora." he announced. Oliver didn't like the sound of shunting trucks, but he didn't want to ruin his status as a role model either. "Yes sir." said Oliver, and puffed quickly away. When Oliver arrived to help shunt trucks, Duck and Thomas were pleased. Duck could see that Oliver was worried and Duck enquired into the situation. "Are you OK, Oliver? You looked white as a ghost." pointed out Duck. "I complimented James for his coat of paint, but I'm worried in case he makes the same mistake I did when I first arrived." replied Oliver. Percy came for Thomas' trucks; he heard the whole conversation, and it gave Percy and Thomas a very naughty idea. "Oliver, if James goes up Gordon's hill, he'll have an accident, ruining his red paint" he said, dramatically. This of course wasn't true, but poor Oliver didn't know this. "Ooh yes, we wouldn't want to see a dirty James now would we?" added Thomas. "And if you don't tell him, we'll bump you off the rails, one way or another!" "Oh d-d-dear, I b-better warn J-James!" stammered Oliver, and rushed to James as quickly as he possibly could. When Oliver finally caught James at Knapford, he was worried, but he didn't want to come off the rails either. So he told the lie that Thomas told him to tell. "Don't go up Gordon's hill, James. There's been an accident there and it may make you late" said Oliver, biting his tongue. "Thank you, Oliver." smiled James "I'll take a short cut." and he puffed away. Oliver was upset. It was the very first time that Oliver was forced to tell a lie, and now he felt extremely haunted. Meanwhile on Gordon's hill, Percy went around the bend so fast, he dismantled one of the trucks and was stranded. Thomas thought the plan to bring Oliver down was going smoothly, until he crashed into Percy's train. Luckily, no one was hurt but Percy's driver was very cross. "If you two hadn't of tricked Oliver into tellling a lie, none of this would've happened!" he fumed. Percy and Thomas felt very bad. They knew Percy's driver was right. Back at Knapford, poor Oliver was feeling very miserable. He felt deeply horrid, and he looked as white as a ghost. "I'm a horrid engine, I'm a horrid engine!" sobbed Oliver. Arthur felt sorry for Oliver and went to find the Fat Controller as quickly as his wheels could carry him, but poor Oliver kept repeating the same words to himself; until Arthur came back safely with the Fat Controller. The engine were cross with Oliver for telling lies, however, both Arthur and the Fat Controller was very pleased with Oliver, but Arthur and the Fat Controller could see that Oliver was crying. "You don't look your cheerful self today Oliver, what's the matter?" he asked. "I'm a horrid engine!" replied Oliver tearfully. "Why are you a horrid engine?" asked the the Fat Controller. "Because of the fact that I stupidly told a lie!" he sobbed. The Fat Controller knew that telling lies was wrong, but he also knew that Oliver had done so for the right reasons, and spoke kindly to Oliver to calm him down. "There are lies that are wrong, and there are lies that are acceptable," soothed the Fat Controller kindly "if you haven't told that one lie, James would've been in the accident!" "How is that possible?!" asked Gordon in disgust! "Why don't you ask Thomas and Percy?" snapped Emily suddenly. "What are you talking about?" asked Edward and Henry together. "I saw them tricking poor Oliver into telling that lie! Those two want punishing!" she fumed. At last, Harvey arrived with Thomas and Percy and told the Fat Controller what happened on Gordon's hill. Emily spoke severely to Percy, and the way she spoke you'd think she was the Fat Controller. "You're a very naughty engine!" she snapped, "now poor Oliver might be punished!" The other engines now felt sorry for Oliver, and promised to make it up to him in any way possible. Thomas apologised to Oliver for his unruly actions today, too. Oliver forgave Thomas, but was still upset with Percy. "I'm sorry too Oliver" squeaked Percy. "I should think so too!" said the Fat Controller, severely. The two engines now felt more bad than ever. To this day, the engines learned a valuable lesson on telling the truth; the engines have now learned not to misjudge Oliver, and Thomas has vowed never to play tricks on Oliver again.

Fan Fiction Bonus Episode: Dennis vs Stanley
It was early summer on the Island of Sodor. All of the engines were working very hard, except Dennis. He was fast asleep. Duck knew this wasn't good for the Railway, but on his way to seeing the Fat Controller, he met Stanley, one of the new engines. "Hello Duck," whistled Stanley politely "have you seen Dennis by any chance?" "He's fast asleep on a siding," replied Duck "why do you ask?" "Because Dennis was supposed to help me; oh yeah, that's reminds me, Oliver was looking for you earlier, saying you promised to look after Toad." answered Stanley "AAAAHH!" screamed Duck "I was so busy looking for Dennis I forgot Oliver's promise, err... sorry, gottago, see-ya!" and he puffed to Oliver as quickly as he could. Stanley found Dennis on a siding; Dennis was cross. "You weren't suppose to find me!" snapped Dennis, rudely. Stanley didn't like laziness and this made him cross "Well you should do some work for a change, instead of being lazy all day as usual." retorted Stanley "I'm not lazy!" Dennis argued "You are too!" Stanley argued back, and the argument continued until Thomas arrived "Could you two please stop arguing?" pleaded Thomas, almost screaming "if Dennis wants to get himself into trouble, then that's his problem." "OK, OK I'm going, geez!" said Dennis, and he huffed rudely away. "Will that make Dennis work?" asked Stanley "I hope so." sighed Thomas. Oliver was waiting for Duck at Knapford, worrying about his whistle. "Why am I worrying about me whistle? I should be more worried about Duck." he thought. No sooner than expected, Duck arrived. "Sorry I'm late Oliver, the Fat Controller asked me to look for Dennis." said Duck "That's alright," soothed Oliver kindly "I'm running late today meself, I'd love to stay, but I have to look after Annie and Clarabel for Thomas, see you later." but then there was trouble. Percy was going too fast, he couldn't stop in time. He bumped straight into Oliver. Percy stopped, but Oliver went right inside the paint shop. When Oliver came out he looked like a different engine, he was painted blue. Dennis was pulling trucks to the Great Waterton, and I'm sorry to say that the trucks were being naughty "Lazy Dennis in the stable, Lazy Dennis out. Lazy Dennis blew a fuse and blew the candle out!" they giggled in their silly way. Dennis was so cross, that he bumped them too harshly, but the trucks had their own plan. When Dennis applied his brakes, that was the trucks' signal to push. "On, on, on!" they yelled as they pushed him all the way down Gordon's hill. Meanwhile, poor Oliver wasn't any better off either. Passengers were trying not to laugh at Oliver's mishap, but it made Oliver feel embarrassed. Then he saw Dennis rushing toward him. Having to put the safety of the passengers first, he took Annie and Clarabel and went on the siding out of the way, just in time to see Dennis rush past shouting "Help, help. They're pushing me, they're pushing me!" Now heading towards Percy's train of tar wagons, disaster laid ahead. The tar wagons were in pieces. When Thomas arrived at the Great Waterton, he could see a massive mess. Toby and Flora were at the scene and they were trapped with Oliver. Stanley and Duck arrived at the scene just in time; Toad was with Duck. "Toad, Duck, could you please bring Harvey to clean this mess up, I'm trapped on a siding, and so is Toby and Flora. Please, help us." Oliver asked. Duck and Toad, knowing the mess would cause trouble, agreed. When the mess was cleaned up the Fat Controller arrived. He was on Arthur, and when he saw Oliver, he was trying not to laugh. "Oliver, before I congratulate you for saving the passengers, I would like to say that, e-he-he, blue is not your colour." he said. "Thank you, sir." said Oliver, trying not laugh himself, too. He then turned to Dennis "Fancy reconstructing an accident that happened over fifty years ago, I AM surprised. You must be cleaned at once." "I'll help restore things to normal," chuckled Thomas "They all deserve a second chance." Everyone laughed, even Oliver, Stanley and Dennis had to laugh. After the day's work was done, Oliver was restored to his Great Western colours, Dennis and Stanley are now friends and Dennis makes sure now that if Stanley needs help, he will help. And although he made a promise to work every day, I don't think Dennis will keep his promise, do you?

Fan Fiction Episode 2: Percy Comes to Lunch
Percy is a green tank engine who has work on Thomas's branch line for many years, he knows it just as well as Thomas, even his driver has took notice to this. "You know exactly where to stop, Percy, sometimes, you could almost help Thomas manage the branch line without me." laughed his driver. Percy was pleased, even though he didn't realise that his driver was joking. Unfortunately, I'm sorry to say, this went to Percy's funnel and he told Billy and Stepney all about it in a boastful manner. "My driver says I don't need him anymore." boasted Percy. "Percy, no! You KNOW an engine can't go without his or her driver!" snapped Stepney. "Don't be so daft, Percy. I wouldn't dare go without my driver," agreed Billy sensibly "I would be most fightened!" "Pah!, That's what Toby said to Thomas ad he still done it, I'm not scared!" boasted Percy, cheekily "Percy, you wouldn't dare do it!" snapped Billy. "I would then," retorted percy rudely "you'll see." Arthur, who was listening to the whole conversation, was worried. he went to tell Thomas. When he told Thomas, Thomas was worried. "Percy can't go without his driver!" said Thomas. "What makes you so sure?" asked Arthur. "Well, for one thing," replied Thomas remembering his own experience "if Percy does go without his driver, then he will have an accident, I know because I did it once and regretted it since that day. Be careful around him." Arthur thought this was good advice and he puffed cautiously away. The next morning, Duck went to the sheds to pick Percy up as he was due to work with him today, but then there was trouble. Duck's fireman got Percy's fire ready. Percy was drowsing comfortably as fire was soothing nicely. Stepney and Billy were still asleep. Percy's compliment still went to his funnel when he spoke to Duck. "Silly stick in the muds, these two engines are,"said Percy "my driver says I can go without him, so I'll just go out, then I'll stop and wheeeeeeeeeeeesh! That'll make them jump!" Duck just smiled. Percy thought he was being smart, but he was actually moving because Duck's fireman had fiddled with his controls. It wasn't until too late that Percy realised his mistake. He tried to whistle, but he couldn't without his driver; he tried to apply his brakes, but he couldn't do that either, he kept rolling along. He didn't dare see what was coming next, there in front of him was the Station Master's house. Unlike the Station Master who lived in Ffarquhar where Thomas had his accident, this Station Master lived in Knapford, where Percy was heading. They were about to have lunch. Arthur saw Percy going passed him and whistled a warning, but it was too late. Luckily, no-one was hurt; but the fence was smashed, glass broken, plaster was everywhere, Percy couldn't speak as some of the plaster fell on his nose, as well as his green paint. The Station Master was furious, he was due back at Knapford five minutes ago, now he was redder than James. His wife spoke very loudly to Percy. "PERCY THE SMALL ENGINE!" she scolded, severely "HOW DARE YOU KNOCK MY HOUSE DOWN! I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED! MY HUSBAND'S NOW FACING AN ENQUIRY AT WORK AND ITS ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT! IF YOU PUT ANOTHER BUFFER OUT OF LINE, I'M SELLING YOU TO A FARAWAY PLACE! Oh, and Arthur, congratulations for using your whistle responsibly, Sir Topham Hatt and I are very thankful to you." She pulled a rude raspberry to Percy and she angrily slammed the door. A lot more plaster fell, this time however, it fell all over Percy. Percy was upset; he knew it was all his fault. At last, workmen propped up the house with strong poles and had to lay rail within the garden. Arthur was relieved when Donald and Douglas arrived. "Dinna fash yerself, Percy, we'll soon hae ye back on the rails!" laughed Donald and Douglas together. After ten minutes of pulling and puffing, they eventually hauled Percy back to safety. Bits of fencing came with him, and a window frame did too, which ruined his front, badly twisting it in the process. The twins pulled Percy back to the shed, then they laughed and left him. Percy was in disgrace, but worse was still to come. "I'm sorry about your accident, Percy," said Duck "my fireman was getting your fire ready, he didn't mean to get you into trouble." "Why did you not warn me?!" fumed Percy. "I didn't think." sighed Duck. "You never DO!" snapped the Fat Controller, who was on board Oliver "You can start thing now while you do Percy's work as well as your own, you have caused a lot of trouble!" "Yes sir, sorry sir." agreed Duck sadly. Oliver had to do passenger work whilst Duck was away. He was cross at first but still done the work without fuss, and Billy and Stepney helped out with the goods trains too. And Percy hasn't had an accident for over a month. That shows you, doesn't it?

Fan Fiction Episode 3: Dennis vs Diesel
Story coming soon

Fan Fiction Bonus Episode 2: Oliver and the Adventurous Day
It was winter on the Island of Sodor. All the Engines were looking forward to a good night's sleep, except Oliver. He had recently recovered from his accident in the snow, and has lost a lot of confidence as a result of this. Edward and Henry have noticed this and felt sorry for Oliver. Toby, Emily, Arthur, Donald and Douglas felt sorry for him too, they considered him the best role model on Sodor in spite of this, but they still managed to get to sleep once they calmed Oliver down. The next morning, the Fat Controller had bad news for Oliver. "Oliver, your recent accident has damage your whistle, you must go to the works and get a new whistle." boomed the Fat Controller. Arthur was worried, he knew that Oliver's new whistle would make him sound like Thomas. "But sir, if Oliver's getting a new whistle, then who will look after Toad?" asked Arthur. "Dinna fash yerself Oliver," replied Douglas kindly "I'll look after Toad until ye get back." Oliver, thinking he was being punished, puffed sadly away. "Oliver, wait!" whistled Arthur "I'll go with you, you'll need all the support you can get". The Fat Controller, seeing that Arthur was looking out for his friends, agreed. A few days later, Oliver came back from the works, but he was very worried as he whistled to some children. "What if the other Engines accuse me of copying from Thomas?" thought Oliver, nervously. Arthur was the first to greet him home. "Hello Oliver," said Arthur "you look nervous, what's wrong?" "My whistle has the exact same sound as Thomas's whistle," answered Oliver, nervously "but I'll be fine". But he was wrong. Not long after Thomas and Percy met Oliver, and they began teasing him. "Ooh look, here's the Thomas the Tank Engine wannabe who's had three accidents" teased Percy cheekily. "He's the Little Western wimp" added Thomas, rudely. Oliver was upset; he began to cry. Edward and Henry saw the whole incident, and they were very cross. "Thomas, you wouldn't like it if somebody was calling you names" pointed out Edward correctly. "You too Percy, or would you like me to tell Oliver about your mishaps regarding the plunge" added Henry, remembering Percy's accident; and with that both Edward and Henry went to look for Oliver, leaving Thomas and Percy to think about their advice carefully. On the way, they met James and Gordon and told them about Percy and Thomas. "That's horrible," snapped James "I'll tell the Fat Controller about it, you three get back to work." "Good thinking, James, no engine deserves to be bullied, poor Oliver needs respect" agreed Gordon. When James went to the Fat Controller, he was feeling worried and the Fat Controller saw this. "Hello James, is there something you would like to tell me?" asked the Fat Controller. James told the Fat Controller about the bullying issues circling Oliver. "I'll sort this out immediately" he finished, sternly. The Fat Controller went to see Oliver and he could clearly see that Oliver was crying; this gave the Fat Controller an idea, and a plan. "Oliver, I would like you to look after Annie and Clarabel today" he told Oliver. "Who will look after Toad?" enquired Oliver. "Douglas will look after Toad". Oliver puffed nervously away. Emily was pleased, she liked Oliver very much. Donald and Douglas were pleased too. "Well Oliver, looks like yer got ta look after Thomas's coaches, be careful, he'll get cross if ye bump em" advised Donald. "Dinna fash yerself Oliver, ye'll do perfectly fine" added Douglas, kindly. Oliver felt a lot better, he now had his confidence built back up just in time for the first train. Meanwhile, Duck was pulling a heavy goods train. He didn't like the job at all and bashed them hard and was in a very foul mood. Duck has had an accident with trucks once and should've remembered this. "Stupid Oliver having an accident," muttered Duck crossly "he shouldn't have come here in the first place" but his driver didn't hear him insulting Oliver. "Wait, Duck" shouted his driver, but Duck wouldn't wait. Before he knew it, the trucks were pushing him faster and faster. "On, on, on, on!" the trucks giggled in their silly way. Duck was now going way too fast. He rushed past Gordon, whizzed past James, and was getting closer and closer to the river, as well as Percy. "Look out!" yelled Percy loudly, but it was too late. Duck crashed into the pond, and the trucks just giggled and giggled. Some of Toby's trucks were derailed too, which made Toby cross. "Thanks a lot" muttered Toby; he knew that he couldn't move until the mess was cleaned up. Oliver arrived with Annie and Clarabel; the Fat Controller was on board. Donald and Douglas came with the brakedown train, just in time to see Duck lying in the pond. "Beg pardon Montague," said Oliver innocently "but we Great Western engines don't swim with other ducks, it's not the Great Western way." "Quackety Quack, Quack-Quack" teased Donald and Douglas together. Duck felt very embarrased. The Fat Controller spoke severely to him "Duck, I did not expect such err... cluminess and naughtiness from you, I expect you to be on your best behaviour from now on". "I'm sorry sir" replied Duck "I should think so, too!" snapped the Fat Controller, sternly "You have caused an inappropriate disturbance in the atmosphere!" Duck felt very ashamed indeed. A few minutes later, after Thomas and Percy arrived, the Fat Controller spoke severely to Thomas and Percy too. "My Engines do not bully other Engines and we do not accept that kind of behaviour." The two engines felt ashamed. "However, providing you promise to behave, I will give you two, and Duck, a second chance." "Oh thank you, sir," cheered the three engines "we will behave from now on, that's a promise." "That's good engines. Oliver, in spite of your whistle sounding identical to Thomas's whistle, and the err... accidents, you have proven to be a Really Useful Role-Model, and a Really Useful Engine". Oliver smiled. He now felt more confident than ever, the Fat Controller's plan had worked perfectly. After the rescue operation, the Engines went back home to their sheds that night, and both Duck and Oliver agreed that they have learned a valuable lesson on snow, choosing to be more careful from now on; and Oliver does his jobs so well that Thomas became jealous, but that's another story.

Fan Fiction Episode 4: Oliver the Role Model Engine
Thomas and Oliver were worried. Duck's recent accident has caused an awful lot of confusion. Luckily, he returned from the works one day. The Fat Controller had news for the three engines. "Thomas, Duck and Oliver, I know Diesel is err... difficult, but you need another engine to help. I'm sorry Oliver, but Diesel is the only engine available." Oliver was worried. He had a very bad experience with diesels when Douglas helped him escape from scrap. "Relax, Oliver" soothed Duck "Diesel can't harm you as long as the Fat Controller is on the Island of Sodor", but that made Oliver worry even more. The next day, Oliver was asked to look after Annie and Clarabel again, which made Thomas cross. "The Fat Controller only asked YOU to look after my coaches because you have the same whistle as me!" he yelled. "For your information Thomas, I was asked to look after Annie and Clarabel" replied Oliver, trying to calm him down "not to mention the fact that..." "I don't care!" interrupted Thomas, rudely "I hope Diesel works with YOU!" and he puffed rudely away. This made Oliver feel sad. A few hours later, Diesel purred along side Oliver. Oliver quivered, thinking he was going to scrap him. "Hello Oliver, are you going to Fancy Dress as Thomas the Tank Engine?" sneered Diesel. Oliver was too frightened to reply and when the guard blew his whistle, Oliver left as quickly as his wheels would carry him. Duck and Arthur were taking on water, when Diesel came up along side them, and I'm sorry to say that he had a very a naughty idea. "That Oliver is a waste of space" Diesel said in Thomas' voice "Let's push him off the rails." Duck, unaware that it was Diesel, agreed; but Arthur, being wise, refused. He did not want to ruin his spotless record again. At Knapford, Oliver noticed that trucks were left behind, and asked the Fat Controller who the trucks belonged to. "Those are Percy's trucks, but he's helping Salty out today, can I get you to take those trucks to Brendam Docks?". Oliver promised to make good time with the train. "That's a good engine" smiled the Fat Controller, "Thomas can carry on with Annie and Clarabel from here". Oliver put Toad at the back of the train, then he was coupled on. Oliver pulled them carefully out of the station, so carefully that the trucks were worried. "It's Oliver!" said one "we better be good or we won't be the same again." added another, remembering S.C.Ruffey's fate. Unfortunately, Duck was persuing Oliver, but Oliver didn't know this until too late. When Oliver stopped just before the Level Crossing, he still didn't know that Duck was behind him, but he saw Diesel, which made him quiver. Then there was trouble! Duck was coming in too fast. "Look out!" shouted Diesel, but it was too late. Duck bumped into Toad, and pushed Oliver off the rails. No-one was hurt, but poor Oliver was in tears. Thomas, who saw the whole thing from a siding, was horrified and feeling it was his own fault, he went for Harvey as quickly as he can. When Thomas came back, he brought Harvey and the Fat Controller. The Fat Controller was relieved that Oliver wasn't damaged, but he spoke very severely to Diesel "How dare you upset my arrangements! Now Thomas will have to do Oliver's jobs, whilst he recovers from this accident!" Diesel felt very ashamed and he now knew it was all his fault. He purred sadly away. After Harvey helped put Oliver back on the rails, the Fat Controller spoke kindly to Oliver. "Cheer up Oliver, it wasn't your fault. You done an excellent job today to get as far as you could inspite of the accident. You are a Really Useful Engine." "Thank you sir" replied Oliver, sadly, "but now I won't be a role model anymore" "What makes you say that?" asked Duck "you will always be a role model on the Island of Sodor" "The best one, if that" agreed Thomas. Oliver felt better, but he couldn't move, so Thomas kindly took him back to Tidmouth sheds and allowed him to stay in his space until Oliver recovered from his accident. The Fat Controller allowed Oliver to take a few weeks off to recover from the accident. Thomas had to do Oliver's jobs during the four weeks, but he didn't mind. He knew Diesel was being punished for his bad behaviour. And I am going to safely say that ever since the accident, Diesel had to shunt trucks as his punishment for the prank, for at least seven months; and he promised the Fat Controller that he would never go anywhere, or play a devious trick on, Oliver again.
