Murdoch

I remember I saw this on the official Thomas website :)

Hello all,

I'm back with my latest of my RWS Thoughts. A series of posts where I occasionally post possibilities of things that could be true in the RWS timeline. I try to make most of them inspired by facts shared in the stories and companion books, but here's one not really based on anything factual.

As we all know in "The Fat Controller's Engines" a number of engines visited Sodor to take care of the work while the 8 Famous ones went away. My idea, how would it be if Murdoch were one of them?

His class was built from 1954 onwards and since the story takes place in 1956, it theoretically would be possible for a BR 9F to come to Sodor.

Again, this one is not based on any specific passages of information in any books and I know it's one of my weaker ideas I've shared, but I think it's a fun idea.

Any thoughts?

Plot

After James had an accident at Tidmouth Sheds, Thomas is sent to sleep at Knapford Sheds. But when loud noises are heard, it's up to Thomas and Murdoch to find out who is making a racket.

Edward and Harvey are at Brendam Docks, there is a new fancy crane named Rocky. Harvey is sad and he thinks that he will replace him. Edward notices that Harvey is sad and is skeptical of Rocky. Later, Edward is taking a train of pipes to Crosby but the Workmen didn’t secure them properly, it was too late though because Edward was out of the Docks already. Edward was puffing down the line when the pipes had rolled over the tracks. Edward was shocked and went to get Harvey. Harvey was trying to put them back but he could only carry one pipe at a time. Soon, Henry came up with a Goods Train, “Edward, why don’t you get Rocky?’ Henry asked. “Harvey is doing just fine,” Edward told Henry. But Murdoch was coming down the line to get his next train and he was going too fast, Murdoch crashed into the pipes. Edward was in shock and knew what he had to do and puffed to Brendam Docks. “Rocky! We need your help!” Edward cried. “What happened?” Rocky asked, “There’s pipes all over the tracks at Crosby and Murdoch has crashed into them!”. “Oh, well we should get to it then,” said Rocky. So, Edward coupled up to Rocky and set off. Once they got there, Rocky got straight to work. He lifted Murdoch right off the track, the engines were shocked by how strong Rocky was. And then, all the pipes were cleared and Edward,Henry and Murdoch went on their way. Later that evening, Edward had apologized to Rocky for his actions, Edward told him that He was scared that Harvey might get replaced by him. Rocky told him that the Fat Controller brought him here to help Harvey, not replace him. That made Edward feel much better and the to friends had traveled through the sunset. The end.
