    Summary

    "James was a splendid red engine.

    But one day, he didn’t feel so splendid.

    He sobbed and wailed without his driver and fireman. He was lost and completely alone on an old abandoned branch line. All around him were green trees, bushes, and vines. His wheels ached from running over the rough, unkept tracks and plants were stuck all around and inside his wheels and drive shafts."

     

    When James finds himself lost on an abandoned line, he makes a wish to be saved. When a mysterious woman finds him, he has no idea how his life will be derailed.

    Wishing wells can be troublesome when they actually work.

    Summary

    A shared job between Edward and James takes a horrific turn when Edward is the victim of a horrible accident. An accident so horrible that he's sent to the steamworks with no way to know for sure if he'll make it out okay. The engines are met with the possibility that he may be beyond repair, where there could be no choice but to scrap him.

    With Edward's fate in the air, his friends are left to deal with the extreme emotions that anyone would go through at a time like this. No engine has quite the same experience. Whether it be a growing frustration at the world, an insistence that everything will be fine, or a desire to work harder than ever. No one's getting out of this in one piece.

    OR, I inadvertently made S21's "Springtime for Diesel" but it's Edward instead of Daisy, and arguably a lot more serious.

    (Aight, all those misspellings of 'Knapford' should be fixed now)

    Summary

    A window into the blunder years.

    Richard Topham Hatt became the railway controller in 2023, much in the way he was anticipated doing.

    Back in 1981, however, he was just trying to survive childhood. Between a pair of relentless bullies at his new school, the loneliness of leaving all his old friends behind, a hundred pesty Manor cats who he swears have it out for him, two little siblings to keep in order, and a Dad whose gradually losing patience for him, life ain't so sweet. He doesn't see how he could ever get it all together to fill the Controllers shoes--or rather, top hat.

    Little does Ricky, baronet of disaster, know that his grandfather already sees something hauntingly familiar in him.

    Summary

    Rei doesn't know a lot of things. He hit his head pretty hard when he fell from the sky. He does know how to catch Pokémon and how to battle and that's enough for the Galaxy Team. It's hard work, but it's fine. People don't really explain things when they give him assignments, but Akari is around most of the time. Akari is his friend. She'll keep him safe.

    Basically, Drayton from Scarlet/Violet as the PLA protagonist. He will be needing therapy when he gets home.
