- cab. In 1962, BR returned the engine as an unmaintained mess following trials on the infamous Lickey incline. He'd sit idle for 13 years, before finally resteaming after a lengthy overhaul in 1965.

9. Bigg City was ravaged during the Second World War, in modern day, you'd hardly believe it was once a bustling metropolis. The only remnant of that rich maritime history is a plinted diesel tug, who formerly ran under the Zed Stacks.

11. Vicarstown has a military museum, established in 1990. Bradford the Brakevan can be found there, often arguing with the (unfortunately) Preserved Bluenose. Many others, including the Skarloey's beetles, could care less.

6. The Vicarstown Dieselworks was constructed in 1959, in accordance with the Modernization plan, initially piloted by the BR 11001, Dennis. Until being officially absorbed in 2022, the operation was run by contractors mainly working from Barrow.

3. Related to the previous post, in order to manage these engines, in 1985, Sir Charles and Sir Stephen negotiated with British Rail to purchase and upgrade the Cumbrian Coast Line from Barrow-in-Furness to Carlisle.

10. Speaking of the Tugs, Tidmouth had its own fleet of 6 beginning in 1920. 2 Ocean, 2 Harbours, and 2 Switchers. These six have long proven their usefulness, even with the arrivals of the Bigg City fleets in 1945.

16. Following Wilbert's visit in 1993, CGW commissioned a new Hunslet Austerity to correct on flaws from NCB and LNER/BR work. The engine would awaken the next year, becoming NWR 70 "Charlotte".

#SudrianShenanigansAU #TTTEAU
A Railway Series edit of NWR's 37 and 70 (Rosie and Charlotte respectively). The edit was based off a Clive Spong illustration of Thomas and Wilbert, with Charlotte's face being modified from Mavis's final face in "Toby's Tightrope". Charlotte is my character, I own nothing else.

8. Crovan's Gate Works, colloquially known as the Steamworks, was opened by the S&M in 1899, though it'd never have a chance to service those engines, as the railway would shut down in 1902, with the last Great Waterton service running in 1905.

17. The MSR board of directors once planned for a railway up the mountain of Culdee Fell, but due in part to the recent Cataclysm of the Ward Fell Light Railway and a rather major accident on the budding Snowdon Railway, the plans were shelved.

1. The first railway on Sodor was the Ward Fell Light Railway, with it's first engine being built and fired in 1850, an engine lovingly named for her designer's girlfriend, Tasha. Two more engines would arrive, but by the turn of the century, the line had collapsed.

"Sir Derek surveyed the wreckage. Many engines and vehicles from around the island had come to assist, but most perturbing was the presence of 98642, 87546 and particularly 1105.
And there, in the remains of a brakevan, looking ever worse for wear was-.."

#SudrianShenanigansAU #TTTE
A scene recreation of the Series 1 episode "The Flying Kipper", with Henry in shambles in the snow, and surrounded by the remains of 2 trains. Terence and Butch are present for the clean-up, along with Trevor, hauling away pieces of the brakevan. On the middle line, James and Edward have pushed Judy and Jerome, the breakdown cranes, into position to begin the recovery. On the farthest line, Alled Greedy, 98462 and 87546 are waiting with flat trucks to carry the wreckage of the White Elephant away.

He sped forward, hoping the mandated black paint would actually help him.."

Crovan's Gate Steamworks
~1991~

"Following their restorations from scrap condition the previous year, under Rosaline's careful watch, the newest 4 members of the railway were resteamed for the first time in 3 decades."

#SudrianShenanigansAU #TTTEAU
A sprite scene of the Steamworks, as first seen in the 2009 special "Hero of the Rails", with several engines out front. From closest to furthest, these are: Eliza, the Billinton K Class, hauling a Brighton Bullet of supplies for Vicarstown; Rosaline, the Fowler Dock Tank, in her CGW guise before her return to the NWR in 22 years; Barry, an Ivatt 2 much like Arthur, who does work with the Sodor Search and Rescue Center; Jacqueline (Jackie), a 1366 who works on the Norramby Branch, far away from the Great Western influence; Dennis, a Hawksworth Pannier (94xx), who is a people-pleaser; and finally Jeremy, a GWR 43xx modified from a 3150 Prairie early in his career, a bit of a workaholic trying to make up for self-perceived failings. The sprites and background are sourced from: CJ-The-Creator, TSDra90n, NightZHowler, ThomasFan21, Diamond-Jubilee, Princess-Muffins, and LocoSprites. Eliza, Rosaline, Jacqueline, Dennis Hawksworth, and Jeremy are my own characters, I own nothing else from the TTTE franchise.

Pinned Post!

Hiya! My name is Rebecca, I'm a 23 year old transgirl, heavily invested in TTTE and the similar TUGS series. You can find me making all sorts of things, mainly sprite scenes and characters pertaining to my personal AU of Sodor.

#SudrianShenanigansAU is my tag for these stories.
A CJ-The-Creator styled front view sprite of my mainstay OC; an LMS Fowler 2F Dock Tank named Rosaline. She can be seen smiling awkwardly with a heavy blush, in an attempt to rizz. A Railway Series styled edit of another OC of mine, MacGyver, a homebrewed Garratt of the NWR. With a wheel configuration of 2-8-2+2-8-2, he is a force to be reckoned with. He was commissioned in 1935 in case Henry's Stanier Rebuild failed, and built out of several decommissioned ROD 8K's with Gordon's spare boiler and cab. He exclusively works as a banker on Gordon's Hill at Wellsworth. (The original image was a Clive Spong illustration of Gordon from "Gordon the High Speed Engine"). An IRL edit of a Southern Railway Bulleid Light Pacific (a West Country/Battle of Britain class, also known as "Spamcans" for their unconventional shape) with Rebecca's face from Series 23 "Chucklesome Trucks) and a rather striking chocolate brown livery. A TTTE sprite scene of Emily in Tidmouth, Wellsworth & Suddery livery and a GWR City Class named Clementine double heading a supply train at night. (Sprites, backgrounds and overlays sourced from LocoSprites, Princess-Muffins, GallopingGoose97, ThomasTheTankSpam, and BaconOverlord582) Clementine is my OC, nothing else is

Vicarstown Gantry Bridge
~1964~

"What nobody knew was despite his glittering silver paint, reflecting in the channel, this engine would be no more than a mirror finish hiding a rotten core."

#SudrianShenanigansAU #TTTEAU
A sprite scene of the Vicarstown Rolling Bridge, as first seen in the 2013 special "King of the Railway". Spencer can be seen crossing it, but if you pay attention, you'll notice he isn't quite like the TVS portrayal. The sprites and background sourced from PassingThruPics02 and Princess-Muffins.

"Between Ben Glas and her station, a rather uncomfortable feeling always took hold of Glennock whenever she'd go out. There was just something about that old iron bridge that twisted her valve gear the wrong way, but she could never quite put her buffers on it."

#SudrianShenanigansAU #TTTE
A sprite scene of the Old Iron Bridge from the TTTE Series 5 episode "Duncan Gets Spooked", featuring an original character of mine: Glennock, a Hunslet War Office 4-6-0T narrow gauge engine.
