The Volunteer

**The Volunteer** is the eighth episode of the first season.

## Plot

The railways across Sodor have begun a volunteer outreach program to help those who need it gain work experience. Peter Sam takes a liking to a young man named Simon, who is volunteering at the Slate Quarry as a points switcher. Unfortunately, Simon keeps causing accidents due to his lack of training or interest in the position. Duke and Rusty try to tell Peter Sam that the man is unfit for points work, but Peter Sam tries to convince everyone otherwise. To do so, he and his driver make a plan to teach Simon how to do the job properly. It's a good plan, but it ends up falling through.

**Rani** is a large tank engine who works on the Great Waterton Branch line with Riley, Jinty & Molly; she normally pulls passengers.

## Biography

Rani was purchased by Sir Charles Topham Hatt in the late 1960's to take over Duck's role as Knapford's station pilot. She worked there for several years, but she didn't really enjoy it; she wanted to pull trains instead. During her tenure as station pilot, Gordon and Henry were careful to stay out of her way, lest she puts them in their place. James, on the other hand, took every chance to belittle her for being the same color as him.

Rani finally got her chance to pull a train when she and Thomas were to double-head a special enthusiast's train. The journey ended up going badly, which led to the two engines falling out. Eventually, Stanley put in a good word with the Fat Controller, and the two of them swapped places permanently; Stanley became the new station pilot, and Rani took over the Great Waterton Branch line. She spent several years running the line herself, and found her new life to be much more enjoyable. As time went on, though, more engines were assigned to help her, including her cousin Riley.

## Personality

Rani is proud of her strength and can be rather boastful about it. She can also be quick to anger and has difficulties sharing. She prefers quiet environments, as she gets overwhelmed by loud noises and crowds. Although she'll pull anything she's given, she prefers coaches, as they "come quietly", whereas dealing with trucks gives her a headache.

Taking charge of her branch line was, according to Rani, the happiest she had ever been. That's because she had the line all to herself and didn't have to deal with hustle and bustle, apart from arriving and departing at Crovan's Gate. She wasn't fond of having to share the line when Molly, Jinty, and especially Riley were rostered there; she thought they "ruined everything". She was reluctant to work with Riley at first, but with help from Skarloey and Rheneas, she eventually learned to become comfortable with her fellow engines.

## Basis

Rani is based on an LBSCR 0-6-0 E1 tank engine, albeit with a curved front running board. As a result of this modification, she can be described as an E1X.

Duke

**Duke** is one of the oldest engines on the Island of Sodor. He used to work on the Mid-Sodor Railway, and was its first working engine. However, he was rediscovered after being left in his shed for many years and sent to the Skarloey Railway, where he has worked ever since.

## Biography

Duke scolded Sir Handel for trying to shoo away a homeless man. He later fell victim to Simon's incompetence when he derailed on a set of points at the Slate Quarry. He and Rusty tried to convince Peter Sam that he was detrimental to the railway, but to no avail. Finally, when Simon was dismissed from his position and Peter Sam became depressed about it, he tried to cheer him up by telling him it was for the best. He ended up getting through to him by reassuring him that Simon would be free to follow his dreams at last.

Duke often refers to Sir Handel and Peter Sam by their old names whenever one of them misbehaves or is misguided in their thinking. But whenever one of them shows signs of growth or simply need cheering up, he refers to them by their current names.

Rattlesnake Point

**Rattlesnake Point** is a station on the Valleyfields Central's main line. It is also the junction for the Jackson Heights Branch Line, where Stephenson and Preston exchange their goods and passengers with their main line colleagues.

## Overview

The town’s name originates from a method used to reduce an out-of-control rabbit population; Clint Voss, the figure head for the North Rhendowhen Railway, had boxes of live rattlesnakes imported from America to eat the rabbits, making life for the town’s residents much easier. It is the first junction station along the main line and the start of the Jackson Heights branch line. Slow good trains call here to collect slate trucks from the Quarry. A turntable was built east of the station on the branch line side specifically for Stephenson.

Kris Topham Hatt

**Kris Topham Hatt** (also known as Miss Hatt) is the current controller of the North Western Railway.

## Biography

Kris Topham Hatt was one of four children born into Sir Stephen Topham Hatt's family. In 2009, Stephen retired as controller of the railway, and Kris, who had a strong passion for railways, assumed the position in his place. Her most prominent orders of business besides running the railway included partnering with the Valleyfields Central Railway to co-own Remembrance, as well as rediscovering Rachel and Roderick to be brought back for railtours to and from the Trethicke Union. She was even responsible for setting up a volunteer outreach program to help those in need build their resumes to secure jobs; the controllers of Sodor's other railways followed her example.

## Personality

Like her forefathers and predecessors, Kris Hatt is firm but fair when it comes to her duties as railway controller. She is deeply passionate about railways, but can often be stressed out due to the pressures her job brings. She also has a strong relationship with Rufus Cavendish and Quentin Butcher, even being close friends with them, but she often finds herself having to be the voice of reason whenever they argue (which also stresses her out).

## Biography

Peter Sam was there to meet Rachel for the first time when she returned to Sodor. When she vented her issues with James to him, the little engine tried to reassure her that James wasn't such a bad sort; he also suggested that she have someone help her with her passengers after seeing her struggle with the Wild Nor' Wester'.

Later on, he befriended a young man named Simon, who was volunteering at the Slate Quarry as a points switcher. Unfortunately, Simon proved to be so bad at his job, causing the other engines to derail on the points. The others tried to tell Peter Sam this, but he refused to listen, not wanting Simon to lose his position. To prove to the others that Simon could be an invaluable asset to the railway, he and his driver made a plan to train Simon when the Quarry wasn't busy. However, their plan failed when Duncan's brake van toppled over on a set of points, injuring his guard. Simon was removed from his position, much to the other engines' relief, but to Peter Sam's dismay. He blamed himself for Simon's dismissal, until Duke told him that it was for the best; it not only benefitted the railway, but it also allowed Simon to focus on his passions rather than things he didn't like doing. Peter Sam felt better about it, but he still worried for Simon's future.

## Biography

James didn't take kindly to Remembrance upon her arrival on Miss Hatt's railway; she and Thomas thought it fun to tease him for having to pull goods trains against his will. He made this clear to her one night, but ended up offending her. He even boasted that he could complete his journeys at *twice* her speed, to which Remembrance challenged him to a time trial. James accepted so he could put her in her place, and show that he was deserving of unconditional respect. Unfortunately, his planned backfired when his firebox was clogged and he couldn't start right away. He tried to make up for lost time, but his firebox clogged up again by the time they reached Crovan's Gate. To make matters worse, his fire spat out of his firebox, putting his crew and his passengers' lives in danger. His fireman tried to put the fire back under control, but he and the driver sustained injuries in the process, and had to be taken to the hospital when they reached Vicarstown. Remembrance, who'd seen everything from the other platform, offered to take James to the Works, and take his passengers home. James could see how hard she had to work afterwards, and how foolish he'd been; the two engines became firm friends once he was mended.

When Rachel returned to Sodor, he felt threatened by her, and was rude to her when they first met; he saw his title as the only big red engine on the Island as the only thing that made him special, and that her presence would take that away. Rachel was offended by his remarks and made a plan to teach him sense. She asked Kris Topham Hatt for help pulling the Wild Nor' Wester', and suggested that James be the engine to double-head the train with her; she would then pretend to break down, and make him pull her *and* the Express on his own, and have him stall and admit defeat. James reluctantly accepted, but when Rachel put her plan into action, she got more than she bargained for; James ended up bursting his safety valve on Gordon's Hill, which was *not* part of her plan. As a result, she had to push him to the Works, *and* pull the Express on her own. They still argued about who was in the wrong the whole journey through, but when he was taken off the train, James was left with a great deal to think about.

	+ Trevithick's first appearance as a tender engine.
	+ GeebMachine's first appearance as a member of the cast.
	+ The first time an outside writer is involved; Shunter Productions came up with some of the story's ideas.

	+ The last episode to be edited in Kdenlive and Premiere Pro.
	+ SkarloeyRheneas' final direct contribution to the series, as well as his only voice role in it.
* This episode was partially inspired by the N15X's real life stint on the Great Western Railway during the second World War.
* Remembrance makes reference to Remembrance's New Shape when she meets Mike and Bert at the chute.
* WildNorWester's model of RWS Duck was used to represent a younger version of the character.
* The King's Cross route was used to represent Paddington and some of the Great Western's main line.

## Goofs

* In the shot where Remembrance, Stephenson and Trevithick approach Paddington, the signal box sign reads "King's Cross" instead of Paddington. This is because the sign couldn't be edited convincingly.
* In real life, aircrafts wouldn't be able to hover like a helicopter.
* The aircraft chasing Duck and his passengers is mistakenly referred to as a Spitfire. It was actually BF 110's that the Germans used during the Second World War, and Spitfires were British aircrafts.

Enterprise

Solario

Preston

Colin

Quentin

## Biography

Cameron was brought to the Valleyfields Central in 1996, to take over the aged Preston's shunting duties. Preston taught her everything he knew about shunting and fetching coaches, and she soon got the hang of his rhythm. She knows that her predecessor held himself to a high standard, and tries to maintain that standard every day. She is one of the few engines on the island to speak with an American accent, having been built in an American workshop.

## Personality

Cameron is a no-nonsense and sarcastic engine. She takes her job very seriously, and has little patience for those who either fool around or don't pay attention to what they've been told. She is also quick to criticize her superiors, especially Rufus Cavendish, whenever they make a bad decision. However, she and Stephenson understand each other to a tee, which is why she acts as sort of a motherly figure to him.

## Basis

Cameron is based on a BR 0-6-0 Class 08 Gronk shunter.

## Livery

Cameron is painted in BR Blue with black and yellow hazard stripes on her front and back ends.

Copypastas

Chatnotwt likes its copypastas.

## Tourist attraction

The tourist attraction copypasta references the way Philza has showed off Chatnotwt to viewers and streamers in a manner akin to a tour guide bringing guests to a zoo. It was created to be used if a popular streamer ever joined the offline, but has yet to be used in such a manner.

## Modbur

Lesser used variation:

In an attempt to "summon" streamer WilburSoot, members of Chatnotwt created this copypasta. "Modbur" is a portmanteau of "moderator" and "Wilbur", despite Wilbur not being a mod for Technoblade's Twitch chat. The contents of the pentagram are references to his career and running jokes: eating sand, consuming large amounts of pistachios (much to the concern of those around him), playing guitar, and having a strong dislike for anteaters.

As of March 16th 2021, Chatnotwt has agreed to no longer use this copypasta in honor of the Crimetimers' loss of their offline chat.

## Chiapas

Lesser used variation:

The Chiapas copypasta quotes a well known poke who said it in Chatno with zero context, never to be heard from again. The word 'Chiapas' is most likely a horribly misspelt version of Chia's username, who was counting at the time, but the poke's support and spirit is still appreciated. Since then, the chat has adopted this message and has spammed it on occasion, mostly when Chia is counting.

The "but live on" is often replaced with less positive encouragements such as the one above.

Additionally, the "✊ 😔" or "fist pensive" part of the copypasta has turned into a meme of its own. As most modern memes it has no set meaning or explanation and is used at the end of messages, most likely conveying support or a struggle with the aforementioned, though it's also commonly used without a reason.

## where is technoblade?

This copypasta can be considered a collective of FAQs from people who stumble upon the chat, ending in what seems like a spiral, perhaps even a silent question of one's own sanity. It was created to mock the poor unfortunate souls that got their socks scared off their feet, experiencing the count for the first and probably the only time.

There are various copypasta-esque responses to this, varying from member to member. They usually manage to address every single question in the paste. Three of the many responses are as follows:
Rachelle the High Speed Engine

**Rachelle the High Speed Engine** is the fifth episode of the first season.

## Plot

Stephenson is in the Works after melting his fusible plug in the previous episode. There, he meets a freshly-mended express engine named Rachelle, or Rachel for short. Having heard of his plight, Rachel tells him of her days on the Island of Sodor. As it turns out, she was one of the three unknown engines from the first illustration of *The Three Railway Engines*, along with Alfred and Roderick. The latter two enjoyed causing trouble on the railway, and giving Rachel a hard time. One day, however, Alfred and Roderick took their dislike to Rachel too far, resulting in all three of them being sent away from Sodor.

	+ The first in which Remembrance does not appear in any way.

* Rachel makes reference to *The Three Railway Engines* as well as Stephenson and the Valleyfields Flyer when she and Stephenson converse.
* Gordon was intended to have a speaking role, but his lines were cut as the writers felt they didn't add anything to the story.
* Roderick's jeer to Edward, "Coaches! Let's go!" is a reference to Robb Wells' character Ricky LaFleur's line "Smokes, let's go!" from the comedy series *Trailer Park Boys*.
* MaddGirlz Artz was supposed to voice Rachel, but dropped out to focus on her college classes.
* DarthWill3 was offered the role of Alfred before JumboGauge was cast in it, but he declined.

## Goofs

Historia de Argelor

Aneseria un rico mundo con varios continentes, multitud de razas y criaturas lo pueblan. Creado por los dioses a su gusto y antojo, algunos por envidia han tratado de destruirlo o alterar lo a su único gustó. En la actualidad una oscura y extraña oscuridad lo está tratando de corromper, en algunas partes su influencia está diezmando a la población que busca desesperadamente una forma de parar la plaga que asola sus tierras. Eruditos, investigadores, chamanes y hechiceros han tratado de buscarla encontrando una tierra libre en gran medida de esta enfermedad, también presente allí pero con mucha menor fuerza. Por ello las facciones y reinos del mundo no tardaron en enviar allí contingentes para conseguir descubrir que es lo que frena su propagación, se pueden ver distintas facciones peleando por descubrir la cura en esta gran tierra inhóspita.

El origen de Aneseria es incierto, pues se cuentan varias historias sobre el. Una la más extendida que los dioses mismos crearon este mundo, aportando cada uno su granito de arena para darle un toque personal a este. Set creo los desiertos, las tormentas de arena y el líquido que forma a cada animal y persona del mundo. Jhebbal Sag creo la tierra, la vegetación y los animales sobre la que los demás escupieron sus ideas, Derketo dio vida a las creaciones de sus hermanos, otorgándole un ciclo para mantenerla en movimiento, Mitra creo el mar y el bien frente al mal que las criaturas tenían si eran corrompidas. Ymir creo el norte, el hielo y la nieve, dando a las criaturas la fuerza, ganas de luchar y mostrar su valía. Mitra doto de inteligencia y raciocinio a ciertas razas de criaturas. Yog por su parte envidioso de los logros de sus hermanos creo el caos en el mundo, volcanes, terremotos, enfermedades y plagas. También creo criaturas a su antojo que resultaron ser perjudiciales para las que sus hermanos habían creado así que tuvieron que detenerlo aunque fue difícil, lo que inicio el equilibrio del bien y del mal.

Se duda si lo elfos aparecieron antes o los ascians, pero ambas razas son bastante antiguas. Cada una habitaba un continente distinto de Anesiera, los orcos no tardaron en llegar después. Estos fueron fruto de las actuaciones de Yog quien corrompió a elfos y liberó en ellos sus instintos más primitivos: Fuerza, sed de pelea... Los enanos se dice que salieron de la tierra y que vivían allí incluso antes que los elfos, pero no es seguro tal cosa, estos habitantes delas montañas rivalizaron con elfos y orcos dado que les gustaba atesorar objetos que ocultaban bien en sus ciudades. Al tiempo aparecieron los goblins, se dice que en su día fueron enanos que cegados por tener riquezas inmensas y poder fueron corrompidos por Yog hasta darles su aspecto, pero no se puede demostrar por lo cerrado de los enanos, la otra creencia es que fueron una excisión de los primeros orcos que se refugiaron en cuevas y encogieron. Por ultimo aparecieron los hombres, destructivos y conquistadores, la raza mas fácil corrompible y manipulable que empezó a buscar su sitio por todo el mundo, empujando a las otras razas a abandonar sus tierras y enfrentarse entre ellas.

## Biography

As a tank engine, Stroudley would spend his early days pulling express trains alongside his siblings. He and Remembrance would often boast about how special they were, much to their siblings' annoyance. He even teased her, and Stephenson when they bounced their crews about following their rebuilds. However, he got his comeuppance when the same thing happened to him. When Stephenson and Remembrance went away to Rhendowhen, he and Beattie were left behind to face the cutter's torch. But instead of being scrapped, Stroudley, along with Beattie, was happily preserved.

## Personality

Stroudley is boastful and often looks down at his peers; it seems that pulling important trains (and even making an appearance in a movie) had gone to his smokebox. He often speaks with posh mannerisms, and despises those with pessimistic attitudes, particularly that of Stephenson. He and Remembrance used to be close friends, but they grew apart as the years went by; Remembrance had become wiser and more mature, while Stroudley's attitude stayed the same. However, he started to come to terms with the fact that his glory days were over when he learned that he was to be withdrawn.

## Basis

Like his siblings, Stroudley started out as an LB&SCR 4-6-0 Baltic L tank engine, but rebuilt as a 4-6-0 N15X tender engine; he too is a fictionalized version of the real life locomotive.

## Livery

Stroudley was painted SR Olive Green when he was a tank engine, but has been painted in dark red with sky blue stripes since his rebuild.

## Biography

Gordon was among those Elsbridge Junction to celebrate Thomas' centenary. But when the little blue engine was depressed over the absence of his siblings, he tried to cheer him up. He first tried relating to him with regards to mourning his own siblings, but this failed when Thomas reminded him that he at least still had a living sibling in the Flying Scotsman. Hence, Gordon decided to speak to Kris Topham Hatt about it, to see if she could arrange to bring over one of Thomas' relatives to cheer him up. Little did either of them know that Remembrance would be the one coming to Sodor, nor that Gordon's injector would fail, causing her to have to cover his trains in the interim.

The men at the Works found that Gordon's pipes had been clogged after rusting overtime; he had to stay at the Works for several weeks until new ones arrived. It was only when James' safety valve had burst on his hill that he was able to return to work; he even reunited, and got to double-head the Wild Nor' Wester', with Rachel by that time. Upon their return to Knapford, Gordon was greeted with two surprises: the first one being that Miss Hatt had discovered, and refurbished, his old coaches from he'd once received as a reward for breaking his own speed record. The second surprise, which was nowhere near as good, was that homeless people had been spotted all over the railway, including inside his coaches, much to his horror. He and BoCo also almost ran over a stray couple who were huddled under a bridge on the main line for shelter.

## Biography

Thomas celebrated his 100th birthday around the same time Kris Topham Hatt made a deal with Mr. Cavendish and Butcher to co-own Remembrance. He enjoyed his birthday celebration, but became depressed at knowing his siblings couldn't be there to celebrate with him. Gordon noticed this the next day, and spoke to Miss Hatt about finding a way to make him feel better. This ended up happening when the big blue engine's injector failed, and Remembrance was brought in to cover for him. When she pulled in to Elsbridge, Thomas was surprised, and overjoyed, to see her again. The two engines caught up both at the junction, and at the sheds at Knapford, even going as far as poking fun at James and Percy for their respective misfortunes. Nowadays, Thomas sees Remembrance at the junction whenever she's on Sodor, to exchange passengers between his branch line and the main.
