John: you know in America, i used to work with a Tug that went by the same name.

Foduck: that is interesting.

So John left to see the Dispatcher.

Dispatcher: John why have you not talked with Emily or Sigrid?

Emily:(anoyed) i find it rude.

John: here is why, you see were i worked in America i was hardly around a Female Tug it was mostly guys i worked with, so i cant talk to tugs like Emily verry well that is a problem i have.

The Dispatcher understod John's problem.

Dispatcher: Emily take John to meet Rebecca, she should help out with this problem.

George: you know i have no respect for new Tugs.

The Dispatcher was stern.

John and the Fog
One day John woke up to a foggy morning, at the meeting the Dispatcher was stern.

Dispatcher: Due to the fog no tug will go out side the Harbour.

Tugs: yes sir.

Dispatcher: John since you dont know the Harbour well you will work with Emily.

John: yes sir.

Dispatcher: Also i want you to work in pairs of two.

So the Tugs set off, John was telling Emily some Storys about when he worked on foggy days in the States.

Emily: So you rescued a Tug in distress in the fog!.

Emily: interesting.

John: i think we need to find an empty dock cause the fog is getting to thick.

Emily: I am sure we can find are way back to the Docks.

And so John followed Emily but she did not know that she was actuly heading not to the docks but insted heading out to the sand dunes.

Emily: we should be at the docks by now.

And by the time she could see she hit a sand dune and got stuck.

Emily: what in the world.

Emily was worried.

Emily: John can you pull me free.

John: sure.

He came up behind her, and got his tow cable hooked to her.

John: on the count three you reverse your engine, and i will pull.

Emily: Ok.

John: 1, 2, 3!

He said and started to pull, his engine reved louder and louder, it was hard work.

John: i will have you free soon Emily.

Emily: I hope so.

Inch by inch she started to move off the sand bar soon Emily was free, but then she herd a strange sound comeing from John as she turnd to face him.

John: just great me engine cut out.

Emily spoke kindly to him.

Emily: now to get us home.

John: Thank you sir.

Dispatcher: and the important thing is that Emily was not damaged in her acident, althow John Tomorow i will have someone take you to get a new engine.

John: Thank you sir, i thought you would scrap me.

The Dispatcher and the Tugs were shocked by this.

The Dispatcher: Why would i want to scrap you?

John: it is just that where i worked in america The dispatcher there had a rule.

George: and what was it?

John: "If your engine breakes down you will be scraped cause we have no funds to get new engines", that was her rule, you see when you were built what ever engine they gave you is the only one you would get.

(This does not happen in real life)

The Dispatcher: Well here that does not happen, in time you will get use to working with us.

and with that they fell asleep.

John and the pilot boats
One morning at the morning meeting the dispatcher was giveing the tugs there orders.

And so they set off, For the rest of the day he did what they told him to do, Soon it was time for him to head back to his dock.

Petra: He did verry well today.

Pearl: Still dose not mean i can go easy on him.

The next Day was verry windy John was told to help Emily and George bring in Catherine.

George: Sir it only requires two tugs to dock her not three.

Dispatcher: I know, but with the wind speed i want him to help out if you two can't handel it.

Emily: Yes sir.

And with that they set off soon they were aproching Catherine.

Emily: Hey Catherine.

Catherine: Hey Emily who is that tug with you and George.

John: My name is John i am a new Ocean tug from America.

Catherine: Well glad to meet you, and it is a good thing your here cause i can't come into the big Harbor by my self in these kinds of wind.

George: I will pull in front, John you push from behind, and Emily pull on eather side of me.

So they got into there spots George in front, John behind, and Emily on the right they started twords Catherins dock, but as they were half way under Benjamin Bridge the wind speed increased.

George: What's going on back there you two.

Emily: The wind is to strong, I cant keep her steady.

Catherine was worried.

George: Keep pushing Emily.

John: Ain't fareing much better back here George.

The wind was pushing her near to the side of Benjamin bridge, Emily was useing all her streangeth to help keep her away from Benjamin Bridge

Emily: Help!!!!.

Emily cried, just then John had an idea

John: I will get on the other side and see if i cant pull her the other way, Alright George.

George: Alright.

Soon John was hooked up his strong towing chain and started to pull, just then Petra and Pearl came up.

Petra: What goes on here.

So John told them about there situation.

Petra: Pearl go and find some help, while i send a message to the dispatcher.

So Pearl left, soon she came across Sigrid.

Pearl: Sigrid i know you not a tug but i need your help.

Sigrid was confused.

Sigrid: What do you need my help for?

So she was told about the situation.

Sigrid: I will head there right away.

As Sigrid left Pearl got a call from Petra.

Petra:(over radio) The Dispatcher says to find any kind of help.

Pearl: Right.

Meanwhile Johns idea was sort of working, he was trying to make sure that there would be no crash cause at the moment his extra strong towing chain was the only thing keeping Catherine and Emily from hitting the side of Benjamin Bridge, Soon Sigrid arived.

Sigrid: I am here to help.

John: Sigrid help Emily on her side, i got this side coverd.

By now John was turning red in the face.

Sigrid: Ok.

The winds were blowing fearcely, Soon Foduck and Theodore arived.

Theodore: We are here to help.

It was hard for them to hear John with these winds.

John: Foduck i need you and Theadore to atach your towing cables to my side to help keep her steady!!.

Foduck: Alright.

So they hooked up and started to pull, Soon Catherine was safely at her dock.

Catherine: Thank you all.

John: We will get you unloaded when the winds die down.

Catherine: Thanks for your help John.

She said, just then Emily gave him a hug, that night at the docks the dispatcher was talking to the tugs.

Dispatcher: Good job today, and good thinking on your part John.

John: Thanks.

Emily: And Catherine says that she wants to be friends with you.

George was even starting to respect him,.

Dispatcher: I am also going to have another tug come here to live with us.

Hank: You sure that is a good idea?

Emily: Oh.

John: After the acident i told her i never wanted to speak, or see her again, she did not even say sorry to me, you see i had a perfect recored before the Acident.

Emily: And what was your recored?

Lady's New Cylinder
{theme to shining time station starts}

A few days later, Lady returned to do her work at Edwards branch line. She felt pleased to return, because her job of taking lumber to the mills was a bit unpleasant and Boring, she felt glad of a change. That morning, she had done her passenger runs, and arrived at the sheds to rest. There, Lady found she was the only engine left at the sheds.

Lady: Good. That'll give me time to rest for my afternoon off.

And she closed her eyes to rest, but not for long, when her Driver woke her up.

Driver: Lady! Are you awake?

Lady: {yawns} Yes.

Driver: we have been given three jobs to do, We're going to take coal to the mines, some fruit to the depot, and cargo from the harbor to Wellsworth.

Lady: {stirring} Right-o. {She barely leaves the turntable, when she feels a sharp pain and stops suddenly} What's happened? I feel so weak!

Her Driver and fireman inspected Lady all over. It only took a few minutes.

Driver: You've got a leaking cylinder must of been from hitting the cars of lumber. It's not too bad. We can patch it up tonight.

Lady groaned. She felt tired when she prepared her coal trucks, and saw Dennis taking coal trucks, too.

Lady: Dennis! I've got a leaking cylinder! Can you help me take my coal trucks to the mines?

Dennis: I'm sorry, Lady. I've got a delivery to make.

And Dennis left, leaving Lady very upset. She started off well, but soon the strain on her boiler was beginning to tell when they reached the hill.

Lady: {out of breath} It's never... been this bad... before!

Lady struggled hard, but at last came to a stop, and her Driver backed the train down. Lady felt pleased after a rest and a drink.

Lady: What will happen if I do that again?

Driver: It won't happen again. We're getting a banker this time.

Soon, Lady's banker arrived, in the shape of a very worried Stirling single. It was Emily.

Emily: Are you okay, Lady?

Lady: No. I've got a leaking cylinder. I need help to get up the hill.

So, Emily pushed and Lady pulled. At last, Lady made it to the coal mines, and there was Rosie.

Rosie: Are you okay, Lady?

Lady: {grunts} I'll be fine. I just need some care and attention from the broom girl.

Rosie: Even so, you do need that left cylinder looking at. They'll probably send you to Crewe, like they did with Henry.

Lady: {grumpily} Bah! I'm fine, I can be fixed at our sheds!

there shed was a big shed, but it's not well equipped to deal with overhauls. When Henry was away for a new shape, he too had been sent to Crewe, but other locomotives like Spencer, Gordon, and Flying Scotsman would also have to be sent to Doncaster or Darlington, the big engine works at the old London and North Eastern Railway. Lady would probably be sent to Crew herself, but she was convinced that her Driver could repair her in the sheds.

Soon, Lady was ready for her second job - taking fruit to the depot, when she saw Neville about to leave.

Lady: Neville, wait! My left cylinder's hurting me bad! Can you help me take the fruit to the depot?

Neville: I'm sorry, Lady. I'm running late and I've no time help!

Lady was more upset than ever, even more by the time she reached the depot, some of the fruit was bad, and could not be sold.

Depot Worker: Some of this fruit's horrible! Lady You need to be sent to Crew for repairs!

Lady simply grimaced, and set off for her third job in the afternoon, taking cargo to Wellsworth yards. When she arrived, Rosie was here, taking side rods on a flat bed.

Lady: Rosie, stop! Can you help me take the cargo to Wellsworth? My cylinder's hurting even more!

Rosie: The ships been delayed because of rough seas, and won't arrive until tomorrow.

Lady felt pleased, and was glad to have some time off. As she went back to the sheds, she found Percy was pulling an afternoon train, but had broken down.

Percy: Where are you going in such a hurry?

Lady told Percy all about wanting an afternoon off, and all about Dennis, Neville, and Rosie.

Lady: I thought friends helped each other, but they were all too busy to help me!

Percy: That's because they've all been helping me! I broke down, so Dennis brought some coal, Neville took my passengers, and Rosie brought me a new side-rod.

Lady was surprised, and knew she made a mistake. Dennis, Neville, and Rosie had been helping a friend after all.

Lady: They were all helping you? Is there anything I can do to help you, Percy?

Percy: But what about your rest? Your cylinder's leaking!

Lady: It doesn't matter, helping a friend is much more important. What an I do?

Percy: I need you take my coaches back to the main station.

Lady: I don't know if I'll be able to move them, but I must try!

Lady coupled up to the coaches. She pulled as hard as she could. Her cylinder was getting worse, but Lady didn't feel it. Soon, Percy's coaches began to move.

Percy: Thank you, Lady! Sorry about your time off!

But Lady didn't mind. She was helping her friend, and it was better than time off any day. When she returned home, Mr. Jarrow was waiting for her.

Mr. Jarrow: Lady, I heard about your cylinder, and I'm very pleased with your hard work and determination today. I'm sending you to Crewe for an overhaul and a new cylinder.

Lady was doubtful. The next day she went to Crewe for her new cylinder. And when she came back, her paint glistened in the sun, a new cylinder gleaming on her left-hand side, and she was smiling cheerfully.

Rosie: Lady, you do look better!

Lady: {grinning} It was a nice, painless job! I can go back to work now.

And so, she did. Pulling her goods and passenger trains, Lady carried on as normal, and whistled at all the stations. She did her trains so well that James was jealous.

THE END

Mandy and the Honey
It was a good morning for the engines, Mandy had just woke up when The Fat controller walked up to her.

"Mandy you are to head to the depot to collect some tankers full of honey".

"Yes sir". she said and left, when she arived at the depot they were still filling the tankers with honey.

"Hurry up", she complaind, then Diesel snuck up behind her and honked his horn, this starteld Mandy and she lurched back hitting the tankers out of the way and ending up getting coverd from Funnel to Footplate in sticky honey.

"DIESEL!!!", Rored Mandy.

"I could not help my self", he said and snigerd away. Mandy was cross, she was then furious to learn that she had to go the rest of her journy in the condition she was in.

"This is just great!" she shouted, soon she was huffing along the line when trucks full of feathers came heading strate at her.

"Oh No!" she said and aplyed her breaks but it was to late the trucks hit into her and she was coverd in Pillow feathers.

"Now can i have a wash down!!" she said.

"We must continue to work". said her driver.

Every engine they passed laugh at how silly she looked, but there was trouble ahead, some of the feathers got into her eyes.

"I can't see!, I can't see!" she shouted, she was switched off the main line and onto an old branch line.

"Stop the train Driver" said the fireman.

When she did stop she could see that she was lost. she looked around then she heard a voice.

"Hello" the voice said.

"I think the voice came from the bushes ahead Fireman" said the driver.

So they moved forward through the bush.

"Who is there" said Mandy.

She looked around and saw in a sideing next to her was an old and sad engine.

"What is your name?" asked Mandy.

"My name is Marry i have been left here to rust away". she cried.

"Where is your crew?" asked Mandy

"They just left me here" she sobbed.

Mandy felt sorry for her.

"I can take you to Sir Topham Hat and see if he can't have you repared". said Mandy.

"Thank you" she said.

So Mandy bufferd up to her and set off, soon she found Sir Topham Hat at the docks waiting for her, he was cross.

"Mandy were have you been" he said.

So Mandy told him about her day.

"I was wondering if you can have Marry here fixed up" she said.

"Well Mandy you have had a trying day, so you can have a wash down, and Marry is just what we need for Edwards Branch line". he said.

Days later Marrry was repared and sent to work on Edward's branch line.

The End.

A Clean Shave for Rosie
(Based off of A close Shave for Duck) one fine afternoon, Rosie trundled devastatingly to Henry’s station.

“It’s not fair, Daisy has been telling fibs about me and she made all of my close friends think I’m pesky to the bone.” Rosie complained.

Henry smiled at Rosie.

“I know you’re not, Rosie, and so do our close friends, you just wait and see, why don’t you take my passenger train for me?” Henry asked.

Rosie was feeling more cheerful with Henry and was set to work at once, the fresh air couldn’t help but brighten up her spirits.

Rosie shunted the Freight Cars for Henry and when the train was ready, Rosie took the back of the train.

The Freight Cars were crazy, heavy and noisy, the 2 engines had to work very hard, pulling and pushing all afternoon, at last, they made it up the hill.

“Thank you, goodbye.” whistled Rosie. And she rolled gently over the crossing to the other line.

Rosie loved coasting down the hill, running easily with the wind whistling past.

"Peeeeeep! Peeeeeep! Peeeeeep!"

"That sounds like a guard's whistle," she thought. "But we haven't a Guard."

Her Driver heard it to, and looked back.

" we've broken away, we've broken away!"

and before the signalman could change the points they followed Rosie on to the down line.

"Chase her, bump her, throw her off the rails!" the Freight Cars shouted in unison as they hurtled after Rosie, bumping and swaying with ever-increaseing speed.

“Hurry, Rosie, hurry," He called urgently. " There has been a break-away, some trucks are chasing us."

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">They raced through Edward's station, but the Freight Cars were catching up to them, by the time they did they had just past through Maithwaite.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“Just as fast as we can, then they’ll catch us gradually!” Rosie’s driver exclaimed to Rosie as she was gaining self control.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“Another clear mile and we’ll do it!” Rosie’s driver said.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">They swept around a bend.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“Oh glory!, look at that!” Rosie exclaimed as Gordon was just pulling out on their line from the station ahead, but any minute now, there could be a crash.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The driver leapt to his reverser; Hard over- Full steam- Whistle.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“It’s up to you now, Rosie.” her driver said to her.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Rosie put every single ounce of weight and steam against the Freight Cars.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">"I must stop them. I must."

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The station came nearer and nearer. The last coach cleared the platform.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“It’s too late!” Rosie groaned. And shut her eyes.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">She felt a sudden swerve, and slid, shuddering, and groaning along a siding.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">A barber had set up shop, he was shaving a customer, Gordon herd that screeching and looked up to see Rosie in trouble.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">'CRASH!'

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The crazy Freight Cars had knocked their guard off his brake van and they left him very far behind right after he had whistled the warning, but the Freight Cars didn’t care about it, they were feeling very amused with themselves, Rosie open one eye.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“Beg pardon, kind sir, excuse my intrusion.” Rosie said in shock.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“No I won’t you terrified my customers, and spoilt my new paint. I’ll teach you!” the barber scolded Rosie.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">And he lathered Rosie’s face all over.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Poor Rosie.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Oliver and James were helping by pulling the Freight Cars away when STH spoke to the barber.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“I do not like engines popping through my walls," he fumed. "they frighten my customers.”

<p style="margin: 5.3pt 0in 0pt;">“I understand your emotions, and we’ll cheerfully repair the damage, but you gotta know that this engine and her crew have just prevented a very serious accident you and many others could’ve been terribly injured.” STH said to the barber, He paused amusingly.

<p style="margin: 5.3pt 0in 0pt;">“That was a very clean shave.” STH said with a slight pause.

<p style="margin: 5.3pt 0in 0pt;">“Oh dear, excuse me.” the barber said as he went back inside his barber shop.

<p style="margin: 5.3pt 0in 0pt;">He took a nice clean bowl of ice cold water and washed Rosie’s face.

<p style="margin: 5.3pt 0in 0pt;">“I’m terribly sorry, Rosie, I didn’t know you were being a very brave engine.” the barber said to her as Rosie smiled at him.

<p style="margin: 5.3pt 0in 0pt;">“That’s alright, Mr. Barber, sir, I didn’t know that either.” Rosie said as her driver was very proud of her.

<p style="margin: 5.3pt 0in 0pt;">“You were very brave, Rosie, I’m real proud of you.”STH said to her.

<p style="margin: 5.3pt 0in 0pt;">STH watched the rescue operation and he had very good news for Rosie.

<p style="margin: 5.3pt 0in 0pt;">“And when you’re properly washed and mended, your coming home.” STH said to her.

<p style="margin: 5.3pt 0in 0pt;">“Back home? do you mean the yard, Sir?” Rosie asked as STh smiled at her.

<p style="margin: 5.3pt 0in 0pt;">“Of course, Rosie.” STH said to her as Rosie was a bit confused.

<p style="margin: 5.3pt 0in 0pt;">“But, sir, they don’t like me, they like Daisy.” Rosie said as STH assured her.

<p style="margin: 5.3pt 0in 0pt;">“Not right now, I never believed Daisy, so i shut her up Thomas, Percy and the other engines are sorry and want you back with them.” he said to Rosie.

<p style="margin: 5.3pt 0in 0pt;">And so a few days later, she came home shining with sparkling new light purple paint and there was a very cheerful welcome for Rosie the Feisty Energetic Engine.

Wrong Road
(writen by me)

Thomas' Branch Line is important, and so is Edward's. They both bring in valuable trafic, but there tracks and bridge's are not as strong as those on the Main Line. that is why The Fat Controller doe's not alow the heavier Main Line engines like Kiro and Henry to run on them. But the way Kiro talks you would have thought he gave the order for quite another reason.

"It's not fair." Grumbled Kiro.

"What isnt fair?" asked Edward.

"Letting Branch Line Diesels pull Main Line trains".

"Never mind, Kiro. Im sure Boco will let you pull his trucks somtimes".

Kiro spluttered furiously.

"I wont pull Boco's dirty trucks. I wont run on Branch Lines."

"Why not?, it would be a nice change."

Said Nina who had over heard.

" The Fat Controller would never approve," Said Kiro loftly. "Branch Lines are vulger".

She puffed off in a dignafied manner. Edward chuckeld as Kiro set off to the station. At Knapford Kiro was ready to leave.

"Won't we ever start".

Kiro said impationtly, Soon the gurd's whistle blew and she set off.

"I would not be seen on a Branch Line no matter what".

But she did not know how wrong she was, ahead the switches were set to go off the Main Line and on to the Branch Line, so Kiro did not know she was switched of the Main Line, that night she arived cold and cross in a sideing on Edward's Branch Line. Bill an Ben peeped into the yard next morning, there was no trucks for them but they diden't mind, teaseing Kiro would be much better fun.

"What's that?" asked Bill loudly.

"Ssh!" wisperd Ben. "it's Kiro".

"It looks like Kiro, but it can't be. Kiro never comes on the Branch Lines. She thinks them vulger."

Kiro pretended she hadent heard.

"If it isen't Kiro," said Ben, "It's just a pile of old iron..."

"... which we'd better take to the scrap yard."

"No, Bill, this lots useless for scrap. Well take it to the Harbour and dump it in the sea".

Kiro was alarmed.

"I am Kiro, Stop!, Stop!"

The twins paid no attention. Kiro shut her eyes and prepared for the worst, then she heard a horn when she oppend her eye's, she saw Boco comeing into the yard. she thought him the most beautiful sight she had ever seen.

"Boco my dear engine," she gasped. "save me!".

Boco quickly sized up the situation, and treatend to take away the trucks of coal he had brought for them, this made the twins behave at once. Kiro thought he was wonderful.

"Those little demons, How do you do it?"

"ah well," said Boco. "It's just a knack."

Kiro thinks to this day that Boco saved her life; but we know the twins were only teasing- Don't we?

Flip takes the plunge
(based off of Percy takes the plunge) Tribute to the Rev. w. Ardway.

SOMETIMES Flip takes stone trucks to the other end of the line. There, she meets engines from the Other Railway.

One Day, Henry wanted to rest in the shed, but Flip was talking to some tank engines.

"Waters nothing to an engine with determination." She said to them.

"What are you engines doing here?" hissed Henry. "This shed is for the Fat controller's Engines. Go away."

"silly things," Henry snorted.

"There not silly." Flip had been enjoying herself. She was cross because henry sent them away.

"They are silly, and so are you. 'Water's nothing to an engine with determination.' Pah!"

"Anyway," said cheeky Flip, "Im not afraid of the water. I like it." She ran away singing. "Once an engine attached to a train

Was afraid of a few drops of rain..."

Flip arrived home feeling pleased with herself. "Silly old Henry," she chuckeld.

Thomas was looking at a board on the Quay. It said "DANGER".

"We mustn't go past it," he said. "That's Orders."

"Why?"

"DANGER' means falling down something," said Thomas. "I went past DANGER' once, and fell down a mine."

Flip looked beyond the board.

"I can't see a mine," she said.

She didn't know that the foundations of the Quay had sunk, and that the rails now sloped downward to the sea.

"Stupid board!" said Flip. For days and days she tryed to sidle past it; but her driveer stopped her every time.

"No you don't," he would say.

Then Flip made a plan. "One day at the Top Station." she whisperd to the trucks. "Will you give me a bump when we get to the Quay?"

The trucks were surprised. They have never been asked to bump an engine before. They giggeld and chatterd about it all the way down.

"Whoah Flip! Whoah!" said her driver, and Flip checked obediently at the "distant" signal.

"Driver doesn't know my plan," she chuckeld.

"On! On! On!" laughed the trucks. Flip thought they were helping. "I'll pretend to sto at the station; but the trucks will push me past the board. Then I'll make them stop. I can do that whenever i like."

If Flip haden't been so conceited, she would never have been so silly. Every wise engine knows that you cannot trust trucks. They reached the station, and Flip's breaks groaned. That was the signal for the trucks.

"Go on! Go on!" they yelled, and surged forward together.

They gave Flip a fearfull bump, and knocked her Driver and Fireman off the footplate.

"Ow!" said Flip, sliding past the board. The day was misty. The rails were slipery, Her wheels wouldn't grip.

Flip was frantic. "That's enough!" she hissed.

But it was to late. Once on the slope, she tobogganed helplessy down, crashed through the buffers, and slitherd into the sea.

"You are a verry disobedient engine."

Flip knew that voice, tears started to roll down her cheaks.

"Please, Sir, get me out Sir, I'm truly sorry Sir."

"No, Flip, we cannot do that till high tide. I hope it will teach you to obey Order's."

"Yes, Sir," Flip shivered miserably. She was cold. Fish were playing hide and seek through her wheels. The tide rose higher and higher.

Shw was feeling her position more and more deeply every minute.

It was nearly dark when they brought floating cranes, cleared away the trucks, and lifted Flip out.

She was to cold and stiff to move by herself, so she was sent to the Works next day on Henry's goods train.

"Well! Well! Well!" chuckeld Henry, "Did you like the water?"

"No."

"I am surprised. You need more determination, Flip. 'Waters nothing to an engine with determination' you know. Perhaps you will like it better next time."

But Flip is quite determind that there won't be a "next time".

Lil
(Based off of Mavis)

LIL is a diesel belonging to the Ffarquhar Quarry Company. They brought her to shunt trucks into their sidings. She is black, and has six wheels. these, like Toby's, are hidden by sideplates. Lil is young and full of her own ideas. She is sure they are better than anybody ele's. She loves re-arranging thing's, and put Toby's trucks in differant places every day. This made Toby cross.

"Trucks," he grumbled, "should be were you want them when you want them."

"Fudge!" said Lil, and flounced away.

At last Toby lost patience.

"I can't waiste time playing 'hunt the trucks' with you," he snapped. "Take them your self."

Lil was pleased. Taking trucks made her feel important. At Ffarquhar she met Daisy who was resting in the Caraige shed.

"Toby's an old fusspot," she complanied.

Daisy liked Toby, but was glad of a diesel to talk to.

"Steam Engines," she said, "have there uses, but they don't understand us..."

"Toby says only Steam Engines can manage trucks properly..."

"What rubbish!" put in Daisy, who knew nothing about trucks. "Depend upon it, my dear, anything steam engines do, we diesels can do so much better."

Toby's line crosses the main road behind Ffarquhar Station, and, for a short way, follows a farm lane. The rails here are buried in earth and ashes almost to their tops. In wet weather, animals, carts, and tractors make the lane muddy and slippery. Frost makes the mud rock-hard. It swells it too, preventing an engine wheels from gripping the rails properly.

Toby found this place troublesome, so, when frost came, he warned Lil and told her just what to do.

"I can manage, thank you," she said cheekily. "I'm not an old fusspot like you."

The trucks were tired of being pushed arond by Lil.

"It's slippery," they whisperd. "Let's pushe her around insted."

"On! On! On!" they yelled, as Lil reached the "Stop" board; but Lil had heard about Percy and took no chances.

She brought them carefully down the lane, and stoped at the level crossing. There, her second man halted the traffic while the Guard unpined the wagons breakes.

"One in the head lamp for fusspot Toby!" she chortled. She looked forward to having a good giggle about it with Daisy.

But she never got her giggle. She was so sure she was right, that she'd stopped in the wrong place.

in frosty weather Toby stops before reaching the lane, and while some of his trucks are still on the slope. This ensures that they can't hold him back, and their weight helps him forward until his wheels can grip again. But Lil had given the trucks the chance they wanted.

"Hold back! Hold back!" they giggled.

"Grrrrrr Up!" orderd Lil.

The trucks just laughed, and her wheels spun helplessy. She tried backing, but the same thing happend.

They sanded the rails, and tried to dig away the frozen mud, but only broke the spade.

Cars and Lorries tooted impatiently.

"Grrrrr agh!" wailed Lil in helpless furry. "I am going to scrap you lot mark my words".

"I warned her," he fummed. "I told her just were to stop. 'I can manage,' she said, and called me an old fusspot."

"She's young yet." said his driver, 'and..."

"She can manage her trucks her self."

"They're your trucks really," his driver pointed out. "Lil isent supposed to come down here. If the Fat Controller..."

"You woulden't tell would you?"

"Of course not."

"Well then..."

"But," his driver went on. "If we don't help clear the line, he'll soon know all about it, and so shall we!"

"Hm! Yes!" said Toby thoughtfully.

An angry farrmer was telling Lil just what she could do with her train!

"Having trouble, Lil? I am surprised!" said Toby as he bufferd up.

"Grrrrrroosh!" said Lil

With much puffing and wheel-slip, Toby pushed the trucks back. Lil hardly helped at all. The hard work made his fire burn fiercely. He then reversed, stoping at intervals while his Fireman spread hot cinders to melt the frozen mud.

"Goodbye," he called as he reached the crossing. "You'll manage now, I expect."

Lil didn't answer. She took the trucks to the sheds, and scuttled home as quickly as she could.

Toby's Tightrope
The manager spoke to lil severely.

"Yoour a verry naughty engine. You have no business to go jauntering down Toby's line instead of doing your work up here"

Tina the giant chicken
It was a bright summer’s day on the Island of Sodor All the engines were busy taking holidaymakers across the island

Tina the orange tank engine was on her way to Farmer McColl’s farm Whenever she finishes her work or is bored stalking Tom (Ed: You may have guessed she has a mad obsession with Tom) she visits the farm to see the animals, It is one of her favourite places

One day, the Sodor boot fair was going to take place at Knapford Station The Fat Controller had a special for Tina; he was waiting for her at Maithwaite Station “Farmer McColl is selling some of his chickens at the boot fair today, I need you to take some cattle trucks, collect the chickens and deliver them to Knapford” Said the Fat Controller Tina beamed. She liked chickens almost as much as Tom “Yes Sir!” said Tina Excitedly and rushed to the truck yard

When she arrived, she saw Edward shunting some trucks “I’m taking the chickens to the Boot Fair!” she boasted “Be careful with the chickens” said Edward “You must be very careful or they will get scared” “I know how to handle chickens, Thank you very much!” wheeshed Tina and puffed away with her cattle trucks

On her way, she had to stop at the narrow gauge transfer yards to get some straw from Duncan. An old crane was lifting a box of fresh eggs to go on sale at the boot fair, the crane groaned under the weight of two crates of eggs. The crane’s arm drifted over Tina; suddenly the crane’s hook snapped and the boxes of eggs landed over Tina, yolk was all over her boiler. “OUCH” squealed Tina Duncan tried not to laugh, but could not help it. "Ha, Ha, Ha." he laughed

Tina was more cross than embarrassed, but she couldn’t have a wash down yet and had to carry on with an eggy boiler

When she arrived at the farm, Farmer McColl was surprised “Are you alright Tina?” asked Farmer McColl “It’s a bit of yolk, I’ll manage” she replied A workman saw Tina and laughed “If those eggs are nice and fried, I could cook my bacon on your boiler” laughed the workman This made Tina cross and let off a huge wheesh of steam This frightened the chickens so much that they flapped their wings in fright Feathers flew everywhere and most of them landed on Tina’s boiler “Oh Boll-“Said Tina but was interrupted by Farmer McColl” “Never mind Tina” he said “But you do look like a lovely great big hen” Tins simply ignored him Farmer McColl and the workmen got to work gathering the chickens and loading them into Tina’s trucks Tina was soon ready to go, but she had to go looking like a massive chicken…

She was puffing gently down the line until she saw someone that delighted her; Tom “TOM!” She called and started to speed up Suddenly, she came to a screeching halt “OWW!” she squealed Tom heard this and ran back down the line and found Tina had broken down “Hello Tina, You do know it is a boot fair, not a fancy dress party” Tom Chuckled “Don’t just stand there! Help Me Tom” groaned Tina who was in terrible pain Tom looked and saw there was a bunch of feathers clogged in her funnel “Don’t worry I’ll help you” he said and ran round to buffer up in front of her and pulled her to Knapford

When they arrived, everyone laughed at Tiina But the fat controller was proud with her “Well Done Tina, It was tough for you in your…err…predicament” he said noticing she looked like a massive chicken Suddenly, Tina huffed and suddenly “Atchooo!” she sneezed loudly and with so much force feathers flew everywhere from her funnel and landed on the station platform and all over Tom and The Fat Controller! “Sorry!” said Tina who grinned with embarrassment

That evening, Tom and Tina were both having the feathers cleaned off their boilers Tom looked over to her and whispered “You looked cute as a huge chicken” “But maybe it shouldn’t be a good outfit for a steam engine”Tina Replied Tom laughed and so did Tina…

THE END

Sterling Single's
One Day Sir Top ham Hat came to the sheds.

STH: good morrning engines, i have great news.

Gordon: what is it sir?

STH: i have aranged an engine from the NRM to come and visit us, it will arrive here on Friday of this week, and there will be a wellcome party for the engine.

And Sir Topham Hat drove off, the engines were wondering who the visitor was.

Gordon: I hope it is Flying Scotsman.

Thomas: when i went to the NRM i met an engine named Green Arrow, it could be him.

Duck: It could be Duchess of Hamilton.

Toby: Who is Duchess of Hamilton?

Thomas: she is a LMS Princess Coronation Class, i meet her when i went to the NRM, she was kind, i even met Spencer's sister named Mallard.

Later Gordon saw Sir Topham Hat on the station platform.

Gordon: Sir is the visitor Flying Scotsman?

STH: Wait and see.

Soon the day had arived, the engines were waiting at knapford station for the visitor to arrive, soon they heard an unfamairler whistle.

Thomas: Here it comes.

The engine pulled into the station and they were shocked at what they saw.

Henry: It is another Sterling Single.

James: I thought Emily was the last of her kind.

Engine: Who is Emily?

STH: Sterling i need you to go help Emily at the Docks.

Sterling: Yes sir, right away.

So she set off, soon she found Emily both engines were shocked to see eachother.

Sterling: I thought...

Emily:...I was the last of my kind.

Sterling: You must be Emily my name is Sterling.

Emily: Wellcome to Sodor.

Sterling: Yuo can not be real you must be a prototype of the Sterling Single's.

Emily: as you can see except for the tender i look just like you inside and out so how can i be a prototype.

And with that they went to work.

Emily: So when do you have to head back to the NRM?

Sterling: In three weeks i must return.

Just then Duck steamed in he was surprised.

Duck: I thought you were the last of your kind Emily.

Emily: Sterling this is Duck.

Sterling: A Great Western engine are you not.

Duck: You are correct.

Sterling: Great Northern Engine am i.

Duck: Interresting, by chance were you built at swindon worrks?

Stering: No i was not, built by Patrick Sterling.

And with that he left, latter Sterling was at the water tower when Diesel stop next to her.

Diesel: Another Sterling Single?

She was cross.

Sterling: How dare you speak to me you diesel filth.

She said and set off, Diesel was verry cross.

Diesel: I will pay her out.

Later Diesel returned to the Diesel works, and spoke to Diesel 10.

Diesel 10: Hmmmm... Diesel filth is what she called you?

Diesel: yes she did.

Diesel 10: Then i will go and have a chat with her.

Diesel: but there is a problem, you see i saw on Sterling's tender a plaque that read, 'owned by the NRM, preserved steam locomotive'.

Diesel 10 was cross.

Diesel 10: Darn it, this mean i can not touch her, or hurt her in any way.

Dart: What does preserved mean?

Diesel 10: It means that she is owned by peopele who restore steam engines.

Later Sterling was sent to shunt trucks on Ducks Branch line.

Donald: Nice to meet you.

Sterling: same here.

But the trucks were not to keen on seeing a new engine shunt them.

Truck: She has no right to poke her funnel up in here.

S.C Ruffy: quite right, as leader i say we play tricks on her agreed.

Trucks: Agreed.

Oliver: S.C Ruffy are you starting trouble?

S.C Ruffy: No Olly.

Oliver: Stop calling me by that name!.

Later Sterling was takeing some trucks to the docks, along the way she climbed Gordon's hill.

S.C Ruffy: once we reach the top give it all you got.

Trucks: Got it.

So when she got to the top they pushed here down the other side.

Trucks: ON!, ON!, ON!

They shouted Sterling was taken unawares.

Sterling: HELP!!!

She shouted but no one heard her, Edward was at his station when he saw Sterling rush by.

Edward: Hold on Sterling im comeing.

So Edward raced after them, he soon caught up with the trucks, coupled up and aplied his brakes Sterling did the same.

Charlie: Steady Edward!

ahead there was trouble she and her train was diverted into a sideing.

Sterling: I must Stop.

and she shut her eyes tight.

When she opend her eyes she saw that she stoped with her buffers touching the ones on the sideing, Edwards driver rushed up.

Charlie: are you guys alright?

Sterling's Driver: Yah were alright thanks for your help.

Fireman: Uh oh.

Driver: What is wrong fireman?

Fireman: Those Trucks mad a hole in the break pipe.

Charlie: We will help you get to the docks safely.

Sterling's driver: Alright.

Soon they were off and arived at the Docks on time.

Sterling: Thank you blue tender engine.

Edward: Names Edward.

A few days latter Sir Topham Hatt came to see Sterling.

STH: Sterling i want you to work at the quarry with Mavis and the twins.

Sterling: Yes sir.

So she set off soon she made it to the quarry.

Sterling: Hello any one here?

Soon Mavis pulled up.

Mavis: Welcome to center island quarry, you are here to help me look after Bill and Ben for a few days.

Sterling: who are Bill and Ben?

Then Bill and Ben snuck up next to her and blew there whistles loud.

PEEEEEEP!!!

Sterling: (Shakeing) What was that?.

Bill: Scaredy engine.

Mavis: Bill and Ben stop this nonsense and get back to work.

Bill: Yes....

Ben: Mavis.

Later Sterling was shunting trucks.

Ben: I want to know who that new engine is.

Bill: So do i.

Sterling: My name is Sterling i am from the NRM.

Ben: What is a NRM?.

Sterling: Read the plaque on my tender.

So they did.

Bill: WOW! a preserved stem locomotive.

2 weeks later.

Sterling: I hope to see you all soon.

Gordon: Same here.

and with that she set off back to the NRM.

The end.

The Christmas Train
It was three days before christmas on the Island of sodor, Snow had fallen heavaly over the night.

Thomas: Man there is so much snow.

Just then STH arived.

STh: An engine from the NRM is to bring a christmas train to knapford on Christmas eve.

The engines were surprised.

Gordon: Who is the engine sir?

STH: Wait and see, now i want all of you to work your hardest for the next three days to help prepare the island by Christmas day.

Engines: Yes Sir.

STH: And you all are to have your snow plows fitted.
