"Well, well, well! The Brothers Grimm: Smashed, Broken, and Sunk!"

- Thomas, Horrid Lorry, fifth season Hello there. I am MainLineEngines, proud member of the TTTE Wikia. I like fan-fiction and I have my own series and wikia for that, my favourite engine is Henry, and that's pretty much all you need to know about me.



My History With Thomas
I know pretty much nothing of how I started to like it. According to my mom, I have liked Thomas & Friends since I was born. I officially started watching the series when the sixth season aired explaning why the sixth series is one of my favourite. I also got to see the fifth season and Thomas and the Magic Railroad. Soon, I went to this quiet small Thomas toy shop where I got the 2006-2008 Wooden Railway Annuals. Sadly this shop closed June 2010, it was a place for ol' memories. I got a Take-Along Gordon there. Later I got James, and from there the collection order is unknown. I got a batch of Thomas presents that year too. The Figure 8 Set, with discontinued Box car and caboose. Percy, and Take- Along Edward and Diesel 10. I knew nothing much about the order of Thomas episodes or anything, but I did read the RWS. Thomas the Tank Engine was in the library. In school a teacher had double-sided books which I grabbed and read in the corner. When I discovered this site on August 2010, coinsicendelly, I learned of the Misty Island Tunnel, and that's when all of a sudden I knew the most important parts to Thomas & Friends history. Until May 2011 I was unregistered. I made an account and here I am. Although I don't get much Thomas & Friends toys, I still get DVDs. In which I hope to have almost every Thomas DVD up to the CGI series.

My own railways/engines
I have quite a few engines I have drawn and created.

Mystic River Traction Company Railway (MRTC Railway)
Thanks to Mays who helped me check out the engines. There are many rivers along the tracks on the island. The engines also have very good traction on this railway. Parts of this railway are surroned by trees and rivers. But another part is more city. For info on the engines click this link. Join the wiki if you want.
 * Lincoln (Harmony class 0-4-2 he is pine green and with gold lining)
 * Jen (a 0-6-0 with violet paint and yellow and maroon lining)
 * Anna (originally yellow with green lining and a 0-4-4 now red with emarld yellow lining and a 0-6-2)
 * Joe (a 0-6-2 with red paint and blue lining)
 * Scott (yellow with green lining and is a 0-4-4)
 * Maxwell (silver with maroon lining; 0-6-2)
 * Neil (blue with yellow lining and a 0-6-0)
 * Glenda (purple with maroon lining; 0-6-2)
 * Teresa (also purple but with gold lining; 0-4-4)

North Western Railway
These are the five engines created by me used in my series.
 * David- a GCR Class 9J (LNER J11), numbered GCR No. 228, currently BR No. 64349 built in 1904, and saved from scrap on 31st of January 1958. He works on the Wellsworth-Brendam Branch and the Main Line pulling goods train and actually likes trucks.
 * Dodger- GNR Class J23 (LNER J50/51)- the prototype J51, built April 1914, and brought to Sodor in 1950. He works at the coal mines at Vicarstown.
 * Delete- LNER Thompson B1, who runs both goods and passengers trains on the Main Line.
 * Russell- He has no preticular prototype, but based off a USA Dock Tank with modifications. as I created him totally from scratch. He was built at Crovan's Gate in 1991 and runs the Kirk Ronan and Norramby Branch Lines. He is named after his designer, Russell Means, and he was created in memory of Russell Means.
 * Nix- a NBR Class K that was rebuilt into one in 1920, and first visted Sodor in 1923. She helped out during Edward's overhaul in 1953, and often brought goods in the 1960s. The Fat Controller helped repair her after an accident in 1964 that nearly ended her career. She now brings passengers from England, Scotland, and Wales and other parts of the UK that want to travel to Sodor. She also ocassionally helps out on Sodor.
