A Grokey Halloween

A Grokey Halloween was written by Michael White and one of the 1st Halloween based stories to be written. 
=== Plot ===
Whitehouse has been having trouble sleeping as a recent childhood fear, The Groke from the Moomin stories, has been haunting his dreams once more. It gets so bad that it makes him panic while helping to prepare the railway's Halloween event. Cars and Corps come up with an idea to help Whitehouse get over his fear by using a method they'd heard about on the TV. Unfortunately, Grinder and Gears overhear the conversation and they too devise a plan to scare Whitehouse. 
Later that night when the evening's event has concluded, Grinder and Gears decide to play their joke. They dress themselves up as The Groke and try to scare Whitehouse. Although they succeed in giving Whitehouse a fright, Car and Corps see their attempt and decide to fight fire with fire. They too have made a Groke costume and use it to scare the brothers. It was only when Jane let slip that the two groves were fake did Whitehouse understand what was going on and didn't find the situation very funny. But after a while admired the effort the friends had done and had managed to keep Grinder and Gears out fo their hair for a good while. 
It was only when Whitehouse enquired if the 3rd Groke, which appeared out of nowhere, was a prototype. 
The story ends with a Halloween the railway never forgot.
