SCPs of Sodor

**The SCPs of Sodor** is a mini-series of The Stories of Sodor. It premiered on October 1, 2022 with the prologue, with the first episode premiering a week later. The last episode was released on November 5. The mini-series expands upon a series of cameo appearances and references to The SCP Foundation in the main series, and as such is a direct crossover with the SCP Foundation collaborative-writing wiki project.

## Production

In the final episode of Season 3 of the Stories of Sodor, the SCP Foundation was teased as having "a part to play in Sodor's future", indicating that it would be a overreaching arc throughout Season 4. However, Victor's normal production at the time only sufficed for a single episode and a few at a time at most instead of an entire season, so he ended up scrapping the six episodes he had completed for the season and restarted.

However, throughout the final version of Season 4, some episodes indicated the idea hadn't entirely been forgotten. This was proven in the season finale, Return.

This was Victor's first series he made on his Patreon, with his videos arriving on there a week before they go onto YouTube. Production of the series began some time in the first half of 2022, as the scripts were finalised by June of 2022. Filming soon started and wrapped up in September. The prologue went up on September 24 on Patreon, and then on YouTube one week later.

## Trivia

* This mini-series marks the last appearance of Johnny Cuba.
* Oliver gains a slightly different face pack.
* This is currently the only season with episode titles consisting of more than one word.
* This mini-series is considered "canon-adjacent;" Edward states that the stories *may* have happened, but that there's no way to know for certain. This was done to allow viewers to come to their own conclusions. If the events of the mini-series are true, they represent several revelations:
	+ The discovery alluded to in the main series episode Mountain is actually the Path of the Dead, a cave supposedly enchanted by ancient Sudric shamans as a path to the afterlife. It kills anyone who enters, but in return, resurrects someone who previously died.
		- While it seems that the Path of the Dead resurrects these individuals as they were in life, with repressed memories of their death, the episode may also confirm the Revenant Theory of non-faceless vehicle genesis. D-5702, one of the D-Class expendable experimental subjects sent into the cave, reveals his name to be Bobby Cooper. Later, after BoCo's arrival on the island, Dr. Hatley notices that his engine number is D5702, and upon interviewing him reveals that the name BoCo is short for Bobby Cooper. BoCo appears not to have any memory of once being human, and returned as a diesel locomotive, which suggests this was not the work of the Path of the Dead.
	+ The Lucky Lamp holds the spirit of a narrow-gauge engine named Kyle Proteus, who was killed in France during World War I. When he was killed by an artillery strike, his spirit was imbued into the lamp. He was notoriously lucky in life, which may explain the fortuitous effects of the lamp.
	+ The "bear" that killed people in the Nartwin Valley was an instance of SCP-1000, better known as Bigfoot, as was the victim of Stuart's runaway slate trucks underneath the iron bridge. These two individuals are the last survivors of a small community of SCP-1000 that lived in relative harmony with the native Sudrians, before the Danish conquest. According to Old Bailey, they were also the historical figures Crovan and Hawin, suggesting these creatures are incredibly long-lived.
	+ Johnny Cuba's ability to navigate and operate railway infrastructure without any sort of support is actually supernatural. He must be on rails for his abilities to work, but as long as he is, he can teleport, telekinetically operate switches, water towers, and other equipment, and load his own coal. In addition, his clients are able to summon him by the ritual sacrifice of one of their own family members. As revealed in the epilogue of his episode, Cuba was apparently the result of some sort of occult summoning ritual to call his spirit into the shell of a locomotive. If this is true, it may be possible to create others like him.
	+ The SCP Foundation supposedly is the ultimate source of both Green Water and Black Water, although their reasons for creating these substances and releasing them to the public are both unknown.
	+ The Standing Stones are actually a time machine, Old Bailey is, in fact, King Culdee, and Mr. Star is not only King Godred, but is heavily implied to have faked his death during the events of Espionage.
