Afer is a large red tank engine. He runs the Normi branch line which runs from Balahoo through fishing villages and ends in Normi. Afer was the only engine who ran the line. Sometimes he was overloaded with work, another engine had to come and help. Afer's line also continued to Vickers Town, where he would meet Henry with a fish and other goods foods taken after the mainland. One evening, Afer arrived with his train. Hello Henry, lovely evening isn't it? It is indeed. Replyed Henry. I remember back on my old railway. The night sky was always so clear above my shed. Me and my brothers could go on for hours talking about the stars. I was just a smile. You worked on the LMS right? Yes, I'm one of the branch lines in the Midlands region. I miss an engine from the LMS a long time ago, back before my rebuild. Really? Did you know his name? I can't quite remember. Then, Diesel lurked into the station. He had overheard that conversation and saw the chance for mischief. You know what, Afer? Oil Diesel. I heard that the LMS lines are closed. All of the steam engines were deemed useless and all have been scared. That's enough Diesel. I've come to learn that your statements are always false, so move on. Let's do bad. Your some passengers told me the news. It was about time you steam engines were rid of. Diesel slightly left. Afer was silent. Tera Patha. Smile Henry. I've heard they've closed lines further north, but I'm sure that you're old line. Have a good evening. Afer gave him a smile, but his Henry left. Afer looked worried. I hope they're all safe. Next morning, Afer was getting ready for the day. A workman walked up. Afer, there is a good train waiting for you at Croven's Gate. You are to take it to the mainland. Yes sir. Set Afer. Afer arrived at the yard. He left his train and began his journey home. As he was about to exit the yard, he saw what looks like an engine sitting in a siding. Afer stopped. Hello? Who said that? Who is it? The engine started. Afer gasped. Kyle? Is that you? Afer rolled forward to see a black tank engine who shed off his class. Afer? Kyle said happily. Kyle? What are you doing here? Kyle looked at his buffers. The branch line closed. They couldn't afford to keep us. So most of us got sent for scrap. Afer paused. I'll take you with me. To my rowy, we could find a place for you. Afer, you don't have to do this for me. This could risk both of us. Nonsense. I'm going to save you. Afer's crew worked fast. And soon he was coupled up to Kyle. They set off. The sun was setting when they arrived at the works. Afer shunted Kyle into a siding. Thank you so much Afer. Anything to say for brother? I'll go tell us the top and the head. Then we can get you fixed up. But... but what if he doesn't want me? Kyle said sadly. What if he sends me for scrap? Watch this I hear about scrap? Afer and Kyle look to see the fat controller standing in front of them. You're very lucky Afer. Said the fat controller. Now we need another engine for good work. Sorry sir. Kyle here is my brother and his railway was closed down not that long ago. Not sure where he are. We'll get Kyle ready for a show of a few days. You mean it sir? Of course. All engines deserve second chances. Kyle beamed. Thank you so much sir. It's my pleasure Kyle. The main line engines will be happy to have you help them. But sir. Could Kyle help me on my branch line? No Afer. You do and find on your line. But the main line needs another engine to help. Afer was very happy for his brother. But he was also a little disappointed. Soon enough Kyle was in working order and helped with good trains on the main line. A few certain engines were impressed with him. That's a story.
