Wilbert Awdry

**The Reverend Wilbert Awdry** (AKA The Thin Clergyman) is a holiday maker.

## Biography

### In *The Stories of Sodor*

When Station Master Jeffries was angry at Edward, Awdry came and told Jeffries that he was late to a passenger train. Jeffries forgave Edward, and went about his business, while Awdry told Edwad that he had never seen locomotives with faces. Edward replied that all engines have faces. Edward later mentioned Awdry during a discussion of Arthur's Ghost.

In 1942, Awdry's son, Christopher, fell ill with measles, so Awdry made up stories using the Sodor engines and some events as basis, and later published them in *The Railway Series: The Three Railway Engines*. In 1947, the engines began taking a dislike to the books, so Awdry arrived to explain why he wrote the stories the way he did.

## Trivia

* Wilbert's stories were originally going to be for his son.
* Wilbert was born in a farm near the Great Western Railway.

Vandalism

**Vandalism** is the first episode of the fifth season of the Stories of Sodor and the seventy-sixth episode overall.

Vandalism/Transcript

## Plot

By 1965, with several months of service under its belt, the Little Western thrived with goods and passengers, as well as oil deliveries to the Mainland. However, this success was plagued by vandalism, only made worse by an ongoing strike in the police force, unable to reach an agreement with the Sodor Council. The railway was one of the vandals' favourite targets.

William and Wendell talk to Toad about him recently suffering from vandalism and discuss the lack of police intervention. As William goes about his day, he sees more signs of the vandalism racking up, even a loose water pipe on the rails that was intended to derail him. He also learns that Peter was targeted with the vandals using his war crimes as motive. Peter also encounters Donald who has derailed at a level crossing over some jammed points.

At the works, Derek introduces Donald to their new superintendent Robert Hall, who claims he last saw Donald as a child. Donald is not able to place him in his memories. Hall rushes off to a meeting with Sir Topham Hatt about a new project that he and the engines would be interested in.

Hall was almost late to the meeting due to the vandals letting some sheep out onto the road. Over time, the actions of the vandals escalate further, even causing damage to the turntable. Geoffrey offers to take the Flying Kipper for Henry, since his tracks are the only ones set out from the sheds. Before leaving, he asks for Henry's advice in pulling the Kipper, which he gladly provides.

Geoffrey's run with the Kipper goes smoothly up until he starts heading down Gordon's Hill and notices a loose water pipe on the tracks. He brakes, but his speed is too high and he and the Kipper derail. Derek and Mickey rush to the scene, but Hall reveals that both Geoffrey and his crew died on impact.

The incident causes public uproar and pressure on the Council and police force to reach an agreement, which they finally do. The police set to work to capture all vandals they can, but no-one claims responsibility for Geoffrey's death. The real murderer is just getting started.

Tony

**Tony** is a P36 that, currently, is only present in Sodor Shorts episodes.

## Biography

### Sodor Shorts

Tony is a half-Russian, half-Ukranian P36 steam locomotive, and immigrated to Sodor when the USSR dissolved.

In the Sodor Shorts universe, Tony fell victim to Duck's cryptocurrency scam and thus set himself onto a mission to hunt him down. This wasn't really the first time this happened, since, as confirmed by Edward, he also had a previous experience with one of his prey.

## Persona

According to Edward, Tony is a laid-back and caring individual, that is unless if one owes him money or mentions the free market, ultimately punishing them via the Trotsky Treatment (stabbing them to death with an icepick).

He's also shown to be supportive of the LGBTQ+ community, as shown when he assumes Bruce to be transgender. Tony can also sometimes be a literalist, calling the USSR flag a pride flag because it "fills him with pride" and aliasing Duck as "The Bird Man".

He also was implied by Edward to present a more cowardly side whenever they had to fight a battle, fleeing combat duty via hiding himself in one of the more absurd places to do so: a chicken coup.

As confirmed in Hiding, he also has suicidal thoughts and hence that, would kill without guilt.

## Livery

Tony is primarily painted silver. He has a red stripe in the middle of the side tanks and smoke deflectors and red wheels. He has the number "1917" on the sides of his tender.

## Basis

Tony is based on a Soviet-class steam locomotive known as a P36.

Reddit

**Reddit** is the 159th Sodor Short.

Reddit/Transcript

## Plot

Gordon decides to start his career up a "dashing holdup man", and asks Eric where to start. Eric states that he doesn't know, as he was a cook, not a crook. Gordon concedes this as debatable, but still wonders who he can talk to when Diesel suddenly appears next to him. Gordon is about to object to this when a long train suddenly arrives, blowing a loud and long whistle. This is revealed to be a Union Pacific Big Boy locomotive named Sally, who has brought equipment for Victor Tanzig himself.

Victor announces that he is starting a new series on his main channel to give it more variety. Edward is in opposition to this, particularly due to him not being its narrator. Annoyed, Victor tells Edward that he would still get to narrate Stories of Sodor, while the new series was Victor's, before asking what the problem is. Edward states that people are expecting him to narrate the new series, while claiming himself to be the voice of the channel and feeling offended that Victor never offered him the position. Diesel believes that Edward is feeling entitled, to which Edward tells him to shut up. However, Victor agrees with Diesel and threatens to replace Edward as narrator to teach him a lesson. Edward does not believe him, but he eventually subsides after Eric starts narrating a variation of the opening dialogue from the Stories of Sodor intro, much to Victor's satisfaction.

Victor then tells the audience that his Patrons and subscribers voted overwhelmingly to move his Reddit content to his main channel. He also explains that in these videos, he would read a story or collection of stories while entertaining the viewers with footage of Stories of Sodor characters either getting up to different kinds of shenanigans or just going about their business. He caps off the video by saying "So all aboard for the Reddit Railway!"

## Characters

* Edward
* Gordon
* Eric
* Diesel
* Victor Tanzig
* Sally
* James *(cameo)*
* Toby *(cameo)*
* BoCo *(cameo)*

## Trivia

* The Union Pacific Big Boy from Shakespeare makes an appearance in this short as the engine who brings Victor's filming supplies. She is also revealed to be named Sally.
	+ Diesel's line "Step on me!" is also a possible reference to Sally's collision with him in the aforementioned short.
* The premise of Victor starting a new series on this channel may be a coincidence, given how SCPs of Sodor, another new series on his channel, had premiered at the time of this short's release.
The Green Garratt

**The Green Garratt** is an Australian Garrett Steam Engine with three faces who once blocked Edward and Bruce from passing.

## Basis

The Green Garratt is based on the NSWGR no. 3801 Steam Locomotive, albeit modified into a garratt locomotive.

## Trivia

* The Green Garratt’s faces are reused from BoCo, Oliver and ‘Arry or Bert.
Stereotypes

**Stereotypes** is the 100th Sodor Short.

## Plot

The following are stereotypes associated to different people: Mamma Mia (Gina, Italians), Hootman (Douglas, Scots), Yiii-ha (Billy, Southern Americans/cowboys), Argh matys (Salty, pirates).

All but Jonny Cuba has said their stereotype lines, who now refuses to say his. Billy tells him that they all agrees to do it. Cuba says he has changed his mind and that the whole thing made him uncomfortable. The director of the video, Diesel, says that it’s ok, which Douglas is a bit shocked by. Diesel assures them that it’s his duty as director to make sure that the actors are comfortable, before interrupting himself, pondering what a bloke is doing nearby. Cuba then comments that he’s throwing himself another shrimp on the barbie. It was all a trick on Diesel’s part to make him say his line.

Training

**Training** is the sixth episode of the fifth season of the Stories of Sodor and the eighty-first episode overall.

Training/Transcript

## Plot

As stated last time, Kate's transition from industrial engine to regular working engine proves difficult. After receiving complaints from passengers and contractors about Kate being too rough with her trains on the Little Western, The Fat Controller decides to have her reassigned temporarily to the Ffarquhar branch to be trained by Toby. He teaches her the basics in handling coaches, which she gradually adjusts to. One night at the sheds, Thomas reveals that Percy has been filling in for Clive at the quarry, as Clive's replacement is overdue.

At the quarry, Whiff becomes concerned over Percy's increasingly erratic attitude towards the trucks. As they talk, Mavis, Clive's successor, arrives and immediately proves to have no regard for them. She swiftly implements her own strategies in handling the quarry. However, this leads to constant delays and frustrations for everyone, something Mavis doesn't take kindly to.

After his third delay, Percy attempts to offer Mavis help, but he quits in a rage when she again dismisses him and offends him in the process. She ultimately takes his train herself, but a malfunction in the trucks' brake pipes causes a runaway, which Toby helps her stop. Mickey has the works crew inspect the remaining trucks for similar damage.

That night at the sheds, Toby tries to speak sense into Mavis, which she is reluctant to accept. However, he manages to persuade her to learn from him and adopt his advice about handling the trucks, which later proves useful. After Toby and Mavis have gotten the trucks in order, Percy arrives with the Fat Controller and apologises to Mavis, which she accepts. Percy also admits to bumping the trucks too hard. Mavis assures the Fat Controller that she won't let delays become a habit and she will do better.

As for Kate, she would gradually become better at handling goods and passengers and became a valuable asset to the Little Western. She would also be rewarded with a new coat of paint, matching the other engines on the branch.

Skarloey Railway Ballast Chute

**Skarloey Railway Ballast Chute** is a Ballast Chute on the Skarloey Railway.

## History:

Since the Skarloey Railway was originally intended to be an industrial line, it served to collect ballast from the ballast mine at Boxford. Starting in 1885 after the line was built and opened, Skarloey and Rheneas delivered trainloads of ballast from the mine to the the special transfer yard at Crovan's Gate. The material was deposited from the narrow gauge trucks to standard gauge ones and taken elsewhere.

This system would eventually be adopted by the Arlesdale Railway years later.
Slate Quarry

## History

Little is known about the quarry. The only thing known about the quarry was that it was constructed in the 1960s.

Duncan

"*Skarloey, I'm a plain speaking engine and I believe in plain speaking...*"
— Duncan, Maintenance

* Yellow Livery
* Red Livery

**Duncan** is a Scottish engine who works at the Skarloey Railway.

## Biography

Duncan arrived on the Skarloey Railway in 1928. When Franks & Sons started to be relocated to Cros-ny-Cuirn in 1939, Duncan thought that he will be given the undesirable jobs and told the Manager his thoughts in his usual abrasive tone. Skarloey's prediction of how well that would go came true, as Duncan was given a tongue lashing for it. Duncan was right too; he was indeed given the undesirable jobs throughout the project. Duncan was the first to take an explosive load, and Rheneas wanted to stay away from him because of the load. After Rheneas' incident, Duncan was given the job of repairing the tracks near Boxford, and how well he took that assignment was rather predictable, as Edward put it.

## Persona

Duncan grumbled and complained, usually about being over-worked, and can be rude, rough, and bad tempered. Duncan was never seen happy in the series until Closure, where he's seen quite happy about the arrival of new engines, and the fact that he won't have to work so much.

Starting with Expansion, Duncan developed a change in behavior after what happened to Andreas in the gorge. He felt responsible for his death and even volunteered for extra jobs, leading to an overhaul after hitting a lorry. He and his crew couldn't even remember the accident. When he returned from the works in his yellow livery, and after the former MSR engines apologized to him for believing he was responsible for Andreas' death, Skarloey asked him if he worked for the Rotten Railway. Duncan did and he never wanted to tell anyone as he wanted to forget. Everyday was filled with arguments, violence and insults and there was no unity. Once he did, he felt much better and was a much more invaluable engine. He never regressed to his former self, thanks to the support of his friends and therapy with Mickey.

## Livery

Duncan was orignally painted in the Skarloey Railway's red livery with blue and yellow lining, and with his name painted on the sides of his boiler in yellow.

He switches over to his yellow TV Series livery in Revelations.

## Basis

Duncan is based on the Talyllyn Railway's Douglas, an Andrew Barclay "E" or "Light" Class 0-4-0WT.

## Trivia

* Duncan was first seen painted in his yellow livery in Song.

Wesley Anderson

"*"Don't worry, Lieutenant. We're going to take good care of you."*"
— His words to Sir Topham Hatt, Lamp

**Wesley Anderson** was the lead doctor of Carldon Mental Hospital back in 1917.

## Background

Not long after the Carldon Mental Hospital was built, Wesley Anderson was put in charge of the hospital after he offered a revolutionary new treatment known as "memory ablation therapy" for shell-shocked soldiers coming back from the war. This malpractice involved injecting varying chemicals into said patients in order to suppress and/or remove traumatic memories of the war at the time. Amongst these patients included The Fat Controller himself.

Several months later, after the hospital was forced to expose this practice, he took full responsibility for his actions, willingly giving up his medical license and begging the prosecutor to send him away to prison. According to Edward, he only remained in prison for a week before dying in a brawl, not putting up a fight.

Sodor Snippet

Sodor Snippets were a collection of videos produced by Victor Tanzig on his YouTube channel of the same name. Similar to Sodor Shorts, they feature characters from his main series, The Stories of Sodor, but are not canon with the series, and have no effect on the overall plot.

## Content

Sodor Snippets were short videos that can be parodies of other YouTube videos, gags from movies and overall jokes. These videos tended to be less than a minute and have a question to the audience at the end of the gags (in the same fashion as the original Sodor Shorts).

## Biography

After The Harwick Tramway closed in 1904, the MSR Directors wanted to extend the line. While Duke and Atlas extended the line from the hills, Construction would also be undertaken from the lowlands carried out the Mid-Sodor Railway newest editions. Stuart and Falcon. The project ran like clockwork with both halves connected Arlesdale. On April 12th 1906, this was when and where the four engines met for the first time. They got along well with each other, aside from when he and Falcon pulled pranks on their older colleagues. They were eventually joined by Andreas and later Stanley.

Unfortunately for Stuart and his friends, the Mid Sodor Railway experienced great hardship after the Peel Godred Branch Line opened in 1953 and only managed to stay in service up to a little over a year afterwards. Almost immediately after the Mid Sodor Railway was finally forced to shut down, the now-former MSR engines were all sold to the Skarloey Railway, including Stuart.

## Persona

Stuart is highly enthusiastic, eager and bubbly. He can be occasionally cheeky, but is kind-hearted, well-meaning and good mannered. As shown in Lamp, he is exceptionally skilled with mathematics.

## Livery

Stuart is painted dark green with black linings.

## Basis

Stuart is based on the Talyllyn Railway's Edward Thomas, a Kerr Stuart Tattoo Class 0-4-2ST that originally worked on the Corris Railway. Interestingly, Edward Thomas only donned the Giesl ejector funnel for a limited time, while Peter Sam has used his since its introduction. Four other Tattoo locomotives are also preserved, including a replica on the Corris Railway.

Skarloey

"*Without regard for his own safety, Skarloey pressed through the ponded areas...*"
— Edward, A History of its Railways

## Character Information

### Basis:

Talyllyn

**Skarloey** is a narrow gauge saddletank engine and one of the oldest engines on the Skarloey Railway.

## Biography

Skarloey and Rheneas arrived from Wales to work on what was the Crovan's Gate Railway in 1884, and, for the next year, they helped extend the line to the hills outside Boxford, the location of the ballast mines. When the line was opened on July 6th 1885, Skarloey and Rheneas set to work immediately, bringing ballast from the mine to the chute at Crovan's Gate. In the autumn of 1887, the Island of Sodor was inundated with heavy rain; when Skarloey and Rheneas were in their shed, they got word that the quarry had to be evacuated for flash flooding. Since Rheneas was undergoing maintenance, Skarloey had to rush to the rescue. When he arrived, he found a huge section of it submerged in water and workmen stranded on rooftops. Without regard for his own safety, Skarloey plunged into the flood, despite the pain, and retrieved the workmen to bring them back to Crovan's Gate safely. Skarloey became famous and the line became colloquially referred to as "Skarloey's Railway". Thus the company was officially renamed to "Skarloey Railway".

In 1910, Skarloey and Rheneas were joined by Ivo Hugh, who had arrived to assist them extend the line to the riverside communities and help it become more than an industrial railway. In 1928, they were joined by Duncan.

## Persona

Skarloey is fair, brave, and friendly. He acts kindly to engines and passengers.

## Livery

Skarloey is painted in the Skarloey Railway's standard red livery with blue and yellow lining and with his name painted in yellow on the sides of his saddletank, and a brass dome.

Since his model used in Fire was based on his television series model, he was instead painted red with white lining.

## Basis

Skarloey is based on the Talyllyn Railway's Talyllyn, a Fletcher Jennings Class C 0-4-2ST built in 1864.

## Trivia

* In Fire, Skarloey had a different model.

Zombie Tank Engines

Zombie tank engines are Zombies that appeared in the Sodor Shorts.

## Bio

One of these engines first appeared in Mask where many of the engines thought that it was Thomas dressed up for Halloween. After Thomas appeared, Edward asks whether it is Geoffrey pulling a prank like a time before. This was then proven false as it turned out Geoffrey was the one filming the short. After this remark, multiple of these engines appear chasing after the engines to eat the engines "brains".

In the next short, Zombie, Edward, Henry, Gordon and James are seen running away from these engines until they can not go any further because of scrap metal being on the tracks ahead of them. After a bit of time, Eric comes along and converses with the 4 engines. During their conversation, the engines come to the realisation that none of them have brains. Because of this, the Zombie engines continue their pursuit of the engines while saying "trains". Eric then being unsure of how they would eat the engines goes up to the Zombie engines only to be eaten up. After this, Diesel appears "making a cameo" and ends up shooting these engines to get rid of them.

In the next short Spoiled, they make a minor role when Gordon, Eric and Diesel are contemplating why the previous short ended up being the most viewed video on the channel. While the three engines are talking, the Zombie engines appear as a "clue" as to the aforementioned video's success. Eric then charges at the Zombie engines only to be eaten again and for Diesel to get rid of them again.

They appear once more in Sins when Diesel is talking about them while being interrogated by Duck and Joey.

In FRANKenstein, only one of them appears and is addressed as Fluffy by Whiff. Whiff then explains to Edward, Henry, Gordon, James and Percy who are at the sheds that he actually created these engines as "Pets" and ends up creating an "army" of them. The engines enraged by hearing Whiff created them, beat up Whiff at the end of the short and kill Fluffy.

## Basis

These engines are based on LBSCR E2 Class tank engines.

## Trivia

* The Zombie Tank Engines' faces are those of the zombies from Plants Vs. Zombies. It is certainly possible Victor uploaded one of their faces on a model of Thomas.
The Sodor Bus Company

"*More then a few of our passenger didn't come back, Preferring the convenience and a audibility offered by the newly formed, The Sodor Bus Companny* "
— Edward, Shunted

## Open/Close

### Year opened

1938

The Sodor Bus Company is a bus Company.

## History

The Company was formed due to lots of visitors arriving on the Island of Sodor. As a result of the destruction of the boulder and the main line in September of 1938, more buses began arriving on Sodor to compensate. Some passengers didn't return to the railway once the repairs to the main line were complete, and preferred comfortable rides in buses. One of the buses that the Company owned was Bertie who raced Thomas and went to Rail Gate Prison. As a consequence, the Bus Company had to pay a heavy fine and was almost declared bankrupt. After the whole scandal, a new level of harmony was achieved with the Bus Company and the Railway.

Spoiled

Spoiled is the 46th Sodor Short.

## Plot

The short begins at Crovan's Gate Works with Eric being put together by Diesel after the previous episode. Gordon then calls out Diesel, believing he's unworthy to yield Thor's hammer. Diesel then boasts that his heroism must be why the previous short must be the most liked and watched on the channel, and probably the most disliked, as Gordon assumes. The Zombie Tank Engines, which are outside, enrage Eric and he goes over to them, only to get torn apart again. Gordon is annoyed by this inconvenience, especially since he's supposed to be meeting James and Henry to see the Rise of Skywalker. Diesel goes off to get rid of the zombies, shouting, "Alright, boys. IT'S HAMMER TIME!"

At Barrow, Henry, Gordon and James are about ready to leave to see the movie when Percy suddenly arrives out of nowhere (making the Rise of Skywalker get an average review on Rotten Tomatoes in the process). It isn't because of the subscribers, but he had just seen the Rise of Skywalker himself, and spends two hours completely spoiling the movie for the three big engines. Once it's done, the three big engines are speechless. Henry tells Percy he's going to punch his face off, but actually ends up knocking Percy off the rails and into a nearby wall. Gordon still wants to see the movie for how it all ends for himself. The three engines depart, completely leaving Percy behind, who is still stuck in the wall.

James Griffin

* Kadet
* W zbroi

Zajęcie| * Pilot Kadet

**James Griffin** jest kadetem z Galaxy Garrison i pilotem MFE Myśliwca Odrzutowego. Jest jednym z czterech pilotów, którzy pomagają Drużynie Voltron w walce o uwolnienie Ziemi od Sendaka.

## Osobowość

W młodym wieku James był osobą, która wspierała większość swojej klasy. Jest to najbardziej widoczne, gdy byli w symulacjach, a on cieszył się razem ze wszystkimi. James jest konkurencyjny i nie lubi, kiedy ktoś zajmuje wyższe miejsce od niego, co jest ukazane, gdy James próbuje podnieść swoją reputację podczas pokonania go w symulatorze latania przez Keith'a.

Później James wyraźnie dojrzał i okazał się być liderem pilotów myśliwców odrzutowych MFE. Na polu bitwy James jest skupionym i zahartowanym wojownikiem, który koordynuje swój zespół w sposób przypominający maszynę. Jednak James może być postrzegany jako mający łagodniejszą oraz przyjemniejszą stronę, ponieważ jest skłonny iść wraz z Keith'em i Hunkiem, aby pomóc rodzinie Hunka, ponieważ "nie chce, żeby jego jedyna nadzieja na uratowanie Ziemi została utracona".
