The Wandering Coaches

(Third person Pov) It was a wonderful spring day on the Island of Sodor. The engines were hard at work. Everything had been back to normal. Kris seemed to be back to her normal self after she had told her origin story and gotten it off her bunker. But she said it was only half the story. We all wanted to know the rest but we weren’t gonna force her to finish it. We were gonna wait until she was ready. Everything was slowly going back to normal. But as Bradley Hatt has learned from his experience. Never say Never. Anything can happen. The engines and Bradley were in the sheds after a long day's work. Brad was helping clean the engines. With spring in full process and summer right around the corner. They were busier than ever. "There Glen, how's that?" Brad asked after giving the big engine his wash down. "Feels great sir. Thank you." He said as all the engines were letting off steam. Suddenly there was a loud whistle. Gordon came into the sheds "Brother what are you doing?"

"So, I heard the passengers talking about...Alfred again." Edward said. "Why are they talking about him again?" Glen asked. "Maybe it's the anniversary of his death or something?" Toby asked. "Don't think so." Brad said as he adjusted his position from the cot bed he had set up in the corner of

He sighed as he sat on Glen's bumper as Glen was on the turn table facing the engine sheds. All the engines were whistling and complaining about what had happened Then a loud whistle was heard. It came from Glen. "GUYS SHUT UP! BRADLEY IS TRYING TO TALK!" Glen exclaimed. The engines were silent. Shocked that this LNER engine would be like this. "Thank you, Glen." Brad said as he stood up. "Now as you all know. Sally and Henry were viciously attacked." "BY ALFRED!" Gordan exclaimed as he whistled loudly causing everyone else 2 whistle loudly. They didn't stop until Glen whistled loudly again. "SILENCE!" Brad exclaimed. "Now I don't know how he is back, but I won't back down from this.

(Third person POV) Sometime had passed since Sally and Henry the Coach arrived on the Island of Sodar.

She may not have liked being in the quarry, but she was able to keep Bill and Ben in order. Which had impressed both Mavis as well has Sir Topham Hatt. "I know your sorry Sally." Sir Topham said.

The Scottish Tram.

(Third person Pov.) It was a bitter cold morning on the Island of Sodar. Christmas had passed, and winter was upon the island, the snow had come along. The engines hated snow, especially Thomas, he hated using his snowplow. Brad and the others had told him time and time again to use it, but sometimes he would make excuses not to use it. Sometime had passed since Gordan's incident on the hill and Glen had to push him to mainland station and drop off his own train at the little western as a middle engine. Since all this had happened, Gordan had been stuck on shunters duty and wasn't allowed to leave the yard until he could be trusted. He didn't like it, but he had to do what he was told. One day Gordan had arranged a long freight train, mainly consisting of Vans, and freight cars full of coal and stone, all going to the mainland. He had just finished arranging it when he saw a Brad talking to a J70 Tram engine and a Great Eastern Railway Wisbech and Upwell Tramway 4-wheel coach. He

Glen the valiant

(Third person Pov) The engines on Sir Topham Hatt's railway are many things. But of everything they live their lives by the three R's Responsible, Reliable, and Really Useful. The love doing their work on time and with diligence. But of all of what happens, none of the engines, like having to be a middle engine. Brad has seen it happen many times. James and Percy had it happen to them. Sometimes it has to happen, other times it was done intentional, other times the engines weren't paying attention. It has been about 2 weeks since Edward and Brad saved Glen and old slow coach from the diesel works. They had been welcome additions to the island. The goods and passenger service had been running on time. Glen had been enjoying himself and was happy to be given a place on Sir Topham Hatt's railway. (Brad Pov.) I was standing outside Knatford station as I was waiting. I looked at my watch. 4:55. I was getting a bit worried. The Limited was due. The Limited is an express passenger

The Rescue of the LNER

(Third Person Pov) It had been a few weeks since Gordon and Henry had been sent to the works. The engines of Sir Topham Hatt's railway had been struggling to make ends meet. The Engines had to be doing double duty. The express would have to double sometimes triple headed. But for Sir Topham hatt and his youngest Grandson Bradley it was a pain. "We can't keep double and triple heading these trains papa." Brad would say as he and Sir Topham Hatt were looking at the times. The express had been 15 minutes late for last two weeks since they started the double and triple heading. "I know that my boy but what else can we do?" Sir Topham Hatt asked as they bounced ideas off each other. Everything from using Diesel engines to to having one engine pull and the other push behind. Finally Brad had a different idea. "Papa?" He asked. "Aren't there other engines that are like Gordon? LNER engines?" "Well. Flying Scottsman is his brother but he has his own trains. The Flying Thistle is on the

The Kipper Express

(Third person Pov) It was a bitter time on the Island of Sodar. The leaves were changing, the weather was getting colder, Thanksgiving had passed and Christmas was around the corner. The engines were hard at work as the most busiest holidays was closing in. Plus for, the youngest grandson of Sir Topham Hatt, Bradley Scott Hatt and his wife Diana, it was perfect do to no hauntings in the last three years. (Brad Pov) I love being on this island, its my home away from home, the engines love it when Diana and I are here. If you were to ask the engines what there favorite jobs were you would get many different answers. Thomas loves taking Annie and Clarabel. Percy loves carrying the mail. Toby loves taking Henrietta. Gordon of course loves taking the Express. Henry will probably end up telling you his favorite job is the Flying Kipper. Even though he has had the worst luck with this train. The Flying Kipper is a train that transports fish from Tidmouth and makes many stops along the

His ways, our ways

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. Isaiah 55:8 The pre-eminent lesson to be learned in the Christian life is to walk by faith. For years, we navigate this world on the basis of our five senses. Then we are called to subordinate our “sight” (our senses) to faith and trust: “For we walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). Instead of believing what we see, we are called to trust what we can’t see or sense. We are called to trust God’s ways more than our own ways. This trust challenge is seen throughout Scripture. When Israel was

Go! Go! Go!and Represent the Kingdom!

[Jesus] sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. Luke 9:2 Most nations send an ambassador to live in the capital of other countries. Ambassadors only have the authority granted to them by their country’s government. But their status is official. When they speak, they speak for their nation. And when they act, they are expected to act as their own government would act. The apostle Paul said that he, and his co-workers, were “ambassadors for Christ, as though God were [speaking] through [them]” (2 Corinthians 5:20). When Paul spoke, he spoke the Word of God. Christ had commissioned him to go and speak̵

Summer Garden Tour: Paradise

You will be with Me in Paradise. Luke 23:43 The first couple were gardeners by profession. Is it any wonder, then, that we love gardens? When people spend vast amounts of time or money on their backyards, patios, and gardens—it’s an inherent desire to have beauty surrounding them in their current home. Adam and Eve lost their lease on Eden, but Jesus has opened the gate to another Paradise—one that’s eternal. The word paradise means “beautiful garden.” The apostle Paul said he was once “caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter

Summer garden Eden

The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. Genesis 2:8 When you see lists of the greatest gardens in the world, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden is often near the top. Its 52 acres have 14,000 types of plants. One moment you’re in a garden Shakespeare would have loved; the next moment you’re in an exquisite Japanese garden with 200 cherry trees. There’s a rock garden, a desert pavilion, a bonsai museum, a fragrance garden, and a celebrity path with stepping stones dedicated to famous people from Brooklyn. But even the most beautiful gardens on earth are only a pale imitation of t

God’s Best Idea Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Revelation 21:5 Pulitzer Prize winning American author Wallace Stegner is credited with observing that: “National Parks are America’s best idea.” Filmmaker Ken Burns included that sentiment in the title of his twelve-hour documentary series on America’s national parks. America’s 62 national parks are natural jewels in the nation’s landscape. Yellowstone National Park was the first (1872), with its geysers and hot springs showing off their power like clockwork. But Yosemite National Park may b

Two kinds of Prayer

Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” Mark 9:24 Christians who attend liturgical church services—services where prayers and creeds are written out and repeated each Sunday—find security in the repetition of time-honored words. Christians who attend non-liturgical services find comfort in the opposite—praying and professing in a different, spontaneous way each week. Not only is there room for both in Christendom, there is room for both in each Christian’s life. Jesus taught His disciples a prayer to pray—word for word—that has be

Performance under pressure

We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 Pro football fans talk about DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) for teams and individual players. The team with the best DVOA ranking for the 2019 NFL season was the Baltimore Ravens. That means that out of all 32 teams in the NFL, the Ravens had the best team performance throughout the entire regular season (based on the DVOA formula). Pressure in sports is temporary; pressure in life is continual. The apostle Paul talked about the pressure he faced—hard-pr

Such a one was caught up to the third heaven… into Paradise and heard inexpressible words. 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 William Tennent, a friend of George Whitefield, died one day—or so it seemed. People gathered for Tennent’s funeral, but the doctor wasn’t sure he was dead and sent the people home. The patient thereafter opened his eyes and later explained that while unconscious he had envisioned himself in heaven. The glory was unutterable. Everyone was singing melodiously and there was a spirit of indescribable joy. For years afterward, Tennent testified that he felt such a “sense of divine things” that

Life on Purpose

Though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. Hebrews 5:8 If John 3:16 is the most recognizable verse in the entire Bible, then Romans 8:28 is surely next: “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” Christians love this verse because it says that everything—the good and the bad—that happens in our life will be used by God for a good purpose. While that is comforting, Romans 8:28 doesn’t tell us all we want to know. It doesn’t tell us what the good purpose is. For what purpose is God orch

CSW Stories Ep 4 S1 - The Mikado Blue Goose

Francesca and Bradley were the CSW Branch lines oldest in the feet. While time had show of their ages of such deep hard work and loyalty to their respective railroads, the two engines were not quite the same as they once were when first steaming. The care they got from their crews and railfans alike always boosted their passion to work hard. When they first met Francesca and Bradley were unsure of working together when the CSW Branch first opened and knowing how much they prided themselves of their previous times on the OP&ER and the N&W. Bradley felt that someone as smaller than like like Francesca was wasn't able to cope with such hard duties but when proving himself wrong after seeing how the little 2-8-2 performed with his own eyes, Bradley had a change of heart and since then befriended Francesca. The other engines would come know and support Francesca, having being the only female steam engine. However, things came to change when in mid June of 1961, Mr Lackwood was given loan

112 years ago on this day on a cold night in April 1912, RMS Titanic struck an iceberg and within two hours and forty minutes at 02:20am, she would sink beneath the waves with 1500 lives dying with her. And so with all my respects... I give my moments of silence for the Titanic and the lives who went with her 112 years ago. May Titanic never be forgotten.
