From Scratchpad

I have made my own stories that feature my own Characters and also some gathered from Non-Canonical Characters and Videos on Youtube with Credit given to the Original Creators though some modified by me (Dont Sue Me Over This Im Never Gonna Publish These) and the Return of old ones such as Duck, Oliver, Donald and Douglas. These stories arent official Canon though I consider them to go after The Last Season in order to not mess with any Official Canon of the Show. though no new engines are shown though Silly Billy, Whiff and Stanley might be shown. Also I Have my own Character named after me (Like Invader ZIM Fanon Character Invader Ian) Ian he is an engine come from America taken to Britian and later on Loan from the British Railway. TUGS character Puffa also makes Cameos and other engines from TUGS as well despite they come from the 1920s.

If Toby is alright, Thomas and Percy are then to join the other, ready to take away trains cleared from quarantine. Meanwhile, Toby, on his way to the ferry pier with the trucks, is watched by Bluck and Bart. The two scrap dealing engines delight at the sound of his chocking engine. At the same time, the City of Truro follows an intersecing path, on a regular deliver. Toby suddenly spots Rusty rapidly approaching him from the distant Wharf Crossing. At first, he thinks nothing of it, then it is right on top of him. Toby reverses out of the way just in time, but his unexpectedly engine turns him quickly, biffing his trucks into City of Truro.

Toby brushes off the two engines' concern for his burnt out engine, telling them that they both could have been quarantined.

They could wreck Brendon! Bubba arrives. Thomas tells Percy to warn Brendam, who steams off as fast as he can. The engines set off down the way. It's difficult to puff along the icy water, but Bubba presses on. He toots warnings all the way down the line, and soon arrives in Brendom Docks, where James, Toby and Henry are working. Bubba tells them everthing. James says how the logs will recks the whole quayside and themselves! Henry comes up with a plan to build a "dam" across the river entrance.

This makes Thomas very cross indeed, as he leaves, uncoupled the gunpower vans. The shunter couples Rutger to the back of the gunpowder vans and he set off with the gunpowder vans and the brakevan. Soon he is speeding along the line, but he is diverted onto a different line on the sloped rusty tracks which are coated with oil from a leaky truck. Rugter goes too fast and the oil makes him skid getting into all kinds of trouble.

He tells the other engines to the extent where they stand him. When it starts heavily, he offers to clear the lines where Rutger pushed the gunpowder vans. Harold flys in, and tells Fergus about the problem. Fergus has an idea, and puffs off. He arrives, tells the men to put the statue in the same hole that Rugter had an accident.

Once in port, Smuggler gives 'Arry a furhter order, to steal coal for him, or "Just get it when nobody's lookin'", as he puts it!

As 'Arry worries about what to do, he sees Thomas and Percy struggling to secure Samuel. He nees to get home before the storm breaks, but the wind's too strong for the tank engines to handle.

He kindly helps secure Samuel, but hopes the Mean Controller does not find out! Later, thinking no-one is about, 'Arry steals a coal hopper truck but James sees him, and goes to check with the Fat Controller. 'Arry brings the coal to Smuggler, who lets him away, but wants him back that night. Further away, Henry speaks to Gordon about how Laura told him that Edward has the Duchess of Hamilton in tow, who has been damaged at rail. They go to tell Toby, so they can all help bring her in. Out in the estuary, 'Arry finds Stepney trapped on the rocks. Stepney tells 'Arry about Smuggler. 'Arry takes him to the fitters yard for repairs. Stepney guesses that 'Arry has hidden Smuggler somewhere, and says he ought to run him in for questioning. "Some thanks I get for rescuing you," says 'Arry. 'Arry sees Diesel, who says how he's supposed to be out answering distress calls, and countinues with: "I'll tell you where you've been. You've been helping those Steam Tank Engines. You creep. Like to be a goodie-goodie Steam Team would you?" 'Arry ingnores Diesel, and rolls away from him. Just by, the Steam Team are docking the Duchess of Hamilton and her long line of Coaches. It's very difficult and dangerous work, thanks to the high winds and furthermore her damaged tender, which means she can't assits. All seems lost when the Steam Team start to lose her, and any second will be crushed between her and the quayside. "We need another engine!" exclaims Toby. 'Arry darts in, and saves the day. "DAB-Stacks will have my engine for this," 'Arry says to himself. Once again, 'Arry meets up with Smuggler, as ordered. Just as Smuggler is about to give more dirty work for 'Arry to do, Edward shows up! He says Smuggler shall be taken to the authorities. Smuggler tries to escape, but 'Arry stops him getting away by blocking him in. Smuggler gets his just deserts, and is indeed held by the authorities, who give official thanks to both 'Arry and Edward. It is soon dusk, and the weather is now lovely and calm. Thomas and Percy happen upon 'Arry. 'Arry tells them how happy the Mean Controller is about how Smuggler's now locked up! While Thomas and Percy give him further thanks for helping out with Samuel. "Er, 'Arry," ventures Thomas, "if you ever think of leaving the DAB Stacks..." "What?!" 'Arry exclaims. "You crazy? Today was today, okay?"

Once all are in place, they prepare themselves for the rocks. The rocks continues to charge along, demolishing a small quay along the way. They begin to approach. Fergus says they should all rev their engines to try and push back the rocks, diverting them. The rocks glance off and fall through some buffers in the quarry docks, landing in the tramper in a mondo, spectacular, explosive fashion. At least the owner won't have to pay now! He scolds Billy, Fergus and Derek to leave, but they refuses to leave and say "That's the most mondo, fearless fashion we've ever seen". The owner is pleased at the tramper full of rocks, as is the Fat Controller, who sends Bill and Ben to lift the rocks out.

The line was opened as a 15 inch gauge line, and was a popular tourist attraction. The engines are Petit and Merlin. They were too small to cope with the line's traffic, and new locos came and went. Stella was a locomotive designed by Heywood. When the railway was in England, they sold her to keep the other running. Iona used to work at a gasworks. She came to the railway and was heavily rebuilt into a tank engine. She was not happy in this form, and was converted into a tender engine. The bogie hoppers were built in the railway's workshop for transporting ballast to the North Western Railway. The line was closed yet again, and instead of opening again, the railway came to Sodor. Stella came back to us. The railway now has Ballast and Passengers as it's main income. Mike thanks Rex for telling him the story.
