Achievement

**Achievement** is the 145th Sodor Short.

Achievement/Transcript

## Plot

Whiff decides to incorporate video game achievements into the video as a way to make the shorts more entertaining. Gordon and James oppose the idea, with the latter stating Eric will never get any because one only gets achievements for doing things right in a video game. Whiff then retorts to Gordon, “You’re such a dick.” An achievement pops up saying, “Burn the Sausage”. James then gets an achievement for being a hypocrite. Whiff explains that the achievements are based on their personalities, with some being random and those of which he had made for fun. Gordon thinks this is all pointless like all video games and James points out that they are in a video game. Just then, Henry shows up, depressed that Emily has been refused bail and mourns for her. An achievement then pops up, “Whipped! Boy is pinning for his girl.”, much to Henry’s outrage. Gordon then orders Whiff to get rid of the achievements when he is suddenly kicked out of the game. Whiff warns them, “Do not mock the achievements. They see all.”

Eric then shows up, saying he got an achievement, although Whiff hadn’t made any for him yet. Eric had made his own, and Whiff tells him only his achievements count, but Eric pesters him by making the achievement sound until he quits. Eric declares victory.

Duke

"*With Duke being it's first engine...*"
— Edward, Jinxed

**Duke** is a narrow gauge tank-tender engine. Duke is one of the oldest engines on the Island of Sodor.

## Biography

Duke was shipped from the Mainland to Sodor and was built there and become the first engine on the of the MSR for the opening of the Mid-Sodor Railway in 1882. The Board of Directors named him in honour of the Earl and rostered him to haul the Opening Train. He worked with several engines on the Mid Sodor, including Stanley, Falcon and Stuart.

Unfortunately for Duke 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 Duke.

## Persona

Duke is one of the oldest and most experienced engines of the Mid-Sodor Railway. He is also the mentor of Stuart and Falcon and other engines, from their younger days on the Mid Sodor Railway. Despite their teasing ways, Falcon and Stuart do take his advice often and have grown to become very fond of Duke and dearly nicknamed him "Granpuff" for his long service to the railway.

## Livery

Duke is painted red-brown with black lining.

## Basis

Duke himself is based on Prince, a George England tank engine from the Ffestiniog Railway at Porthmadog, North Wales. Unlike his basis, Duke is built to 2ft 3in gauge, while Prince is built to 1ft 11½in gauge.

Radio Wyvern

> "Made for Herefordshire & Worcestershire"
>
>

***Radio Wyvern*** (now *Free Radio Herefordshire & Worcestershire*) was an Independent Local Radio station serving Herefordshire and Worcestershire that originally went on-air on October 4, 1982. The original Wyvern name derived from the River Wye and River Severn, the rivers running through Hereford and Worcester respectively (the name was proposed in the 1970s for what would become the county of Hereford and Worcester). The initial Presentation team consisted of Sammy Southall at Breakfast, Roy Leonard in the morning, Graham Hughes in the afternoon and rock shows, and Mike George at drivetime. Weekend presenters included Jeff Roberts, Rob Yarnold and Bob Lee.

In its early days, the station opened at 6am (7am on Sundays) and closed at 8pm, before it extended broadcasting hours to 24 hours a day by joining up with Beacon Radio from 10pm and then a wider network of Midlands stations from 1am. Radio Wyvern took the SuperStation overnight service in the late 1980s, and when that closed abruptly, a local Late Show was introduced, with the overnight output from 1am shared with BRMB and Mercia FM.

The station has played host to many well-known broadcasters over the years. Neil Fox began his professional broadcasting career here in 1984, and the line "Wyvern News, this is Howard Hughes" became very familiar to listeners. Rich Edwards, who joined in the very early days, presented on Classic Hits until its abrupt closure in 2007. David Holdsworth, now with the BBC was the station's News Editor, and Eleanor Oldroyd, now with Five Live, was a member of the Sport team. Several of the original presenters including Mike George, Graham Hughes, and Roy Leonard went on to long careers with BBC radio and television.

After its licence was renewed in 1994, the station split into Wyvern FM, playing newer music, and Wyvern AM (Quality and Variety), which was essentially a gold service, with both services initially simulcasting from 7pm-6am. The AM station was

rebranded as Classic Gold soon afterwards, and was sold to Murfin Music International because of ownership regulations and the large overlap with neighbouring Classic Gold 774 in Gloucestershire. Some time later, it was rebranded as Classic Hits, and by this time a fully-fledged local service, with no links to Wyvern FM or the Classic Gold network.
Arthur (1943)

## Arthur

**Arthur** is an engine that looks exactly the same as the original engine with the same name.

## Biography

Arthur was first built in 1943 during World War II and served with distinction. When Arthur arrived on Sodor after being chosen to work on the Peel Godred Branchline alongside Paul and Hurricane, he was mistaken for the original Arthur by Edward and Toby, but the misunderstanding soon cleared up. Arthur started working at the Peel Godred branch line. He was later saved from a runaway train by the lucky lamp.

## Persona

Unlike the original Arthur, this one is kind and polite. He is not arrogant at all and is happy to help the other engines. Though, if someone threatens his friends or his railway, expect a massive tongue lashing from him. He also has moments where he's a bit snarky, such as when he wonders why the police looked inside a beehive for the stolen cash.

## Livery

Arthur is painted in the LMS maroon livery with gold boiler bands and yellow lining. The letters "LMS" are written on his side tanks in yellow, shadowed by red. His wheels are also painted red and his cab steps are painted black while the steps at his front buffer beam are red and he has white lamp irons.

## Basis

Arthur is based on an LMS Ivatt Class 2MT tank engine developed for the London, Midland, and Scottish Railway (hence the initials on his tanks). Unlike his basis, Arthur lacks a sand dome.

## Trivia

* The Fat Controller was at Arthur's first firing.
* In Storm, Arthur takes the role of Zebedee from TUGS. This role previously belonged to Lily.

Brendam Branch Line

The **Brendam Branch Line** is a Standard Gauge Branch line that is part of the North Western Region. It extends from Wellsworth down Sodor's Southern peninsula, passing through Suddery, and then Brendam. It is better known as Edward's Branch Line.

## History

The Brendam Branch was originally the Main Line for the Wellsworth and Suddery Railway, which work first began on 1885, and was completed in 1886. The W&S built Brendam Docks later that year. The China Clay Pits near Brendam were opened in 1915, and Drollan was assigned to work at Brendam Docks the following year. In 1918, The China Clay Pits purchased Neil to serve as their industrial engine.

After the Railway Act was passed, the LMS purchased the W&S and their engines, allowing them to run goods and passenger services to and from the mainland. As a result, the W&S mainline was renamed to the Brendam Branch, the primary branch line for the Middies.

After the Second World War, a new government took power in Britain that planned massive reforms. Sodor became a joint railway which was taken over by Chairman of the Railway Board, Sir Topham Hatt. In 1947, he streamlined the island's operations by assigning engines to certain lines, and Edward, Eric, Adam, Douglas, and Diesel were assigned to work on the Brendam Branch. Heavy rainfall on the island caused the China Clay Pits to be flooded, and ultimately shut down. Neil was reassigned to the Killdane Scrapyard.

The China Clay Pits eventually reopened in 1958, with Bill and Ben serving as the new industrial engines. Adam passed away that same year, Donald was transferred to the branch as his replacement. The last two engines to join the Brendam Branch were Rosie in 1962, and Salty in 1964.

Japan (band)

***Japan*** were an English band formed in 1974 by David Sylvian (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Steve Jansen (drums), Richard Barbieri (keyboards) and Mick Karn (bass guitar). Initially a glam rock-inspired band, Japan developed their sound and androgynous look to incorporate electronic music and foreign influences, eventually becoming an influence on the UK's early-1980s New Romantic scene.

Japan achieved success in the late 1970s and early 1980s, releasing nine UK Top 40 hits. The band split in December 1982, just as they were beginning to experience significant commercial success in the UK and abroad. Its members went on to pursue other musical projects, though they reformed briefly in the early 1990s under the name Rain Tree Crow, releasing an album in 1991.

### Band Members

Glutton

**Glutton** is the 132nd Sodor Short.

## Plot

Eric asks The Fat Controller if he is ready for lunch, which he confirms before adding what is on the menu. Eric sums the menu up, containg: milk, toffee, chocolate, jelly, whiskey, fish and today's special - Duck à l'orange (which, ironically, is an orange-colored Duck, who retorts "This isn't funny!"). Eric then asks him what he wants out of it, to which the Fat Controller responds that he wants everything, alarming Duck.

**One gluttenous bender later...**

Oliver asks the Fat Controller if it was worth it. The Fat Controller, now in the shape of a boulder, responds that it totally was. Fred ends the episode with: "gluttony is an emotional escape, a sign that something is eating us. Better to eat than to be eaten". And ends with his evil laugh, but adds that it's getting annoying.

Caledonian Railway

"*In their pre LMS, Donald and Douglas worked on the Caledonian Railway in Scotland.*"
— Edward, Ghost

## Open/Close

### Year opened

1830s

The Caledonian Railway is a preserved Railway in Scotland. It is also Donald and Douglas Original home.

## History

The Caledonian Railway is an entirely volunteer run non-profit organisation and used to be a part of the London, Midland, & Scottish Railway. The funds being reinvested into the restoration and preservation of the railway in 1979. The Brechin Railway Preservation Society was formed in 1979 with the operating arm, Caledonian Railway Brechin Limited, being incorporated on the 16 December 1982. Donald and Douglas worked on the Caledonian Railway. The snowdrifts were 30 feet deep. On 1921, Donald was shipped to the Island of Sodor, Douglas worked there alone. On 1923 Douglas was shipped to the Island of Sodor.

## Early Years

Establishing itself as an inter-city railway, the Caledonian set about securing territory by leasing other authorised or newly built lines, and fierce competition developed with other, larger Scottish railways, particularly the North British Railway and the Glasgow and South Western Railway. The company established primacy in some areas, but remained less than successful in others; considerable sums were expended in the process, not always finding the approval of shareholders.

A considerable passenger traffic developed on the Firth of Clyde serving island resorts, and fast boat trains were run from Glasgow to steamer piers; the company was refused permission to operate its own steamers, and it formed a partnership with a nominally independent, but friendly, operator, the Caledonian Steam Packet Company.

In 1923 the railways of Great Britain were "grouped" under the Railways Act 1921 and the Caledonian Railway was a constituent of the newly formed London Midland and Scottish Railway; its capitalisation at that time was £57 million (equivalent to £2.98 billion today),[2] and it had a single track mileage of 2,827 miles (4,550 km).

It extended from Aberdeen to Portpatrick, and from Oban to Carlisle, running express passenger services and a heavy mineral traffic.

## Engines

CR McIntosh 812 Class 0-6-0 goods engine
Other engines also worked, both steam and diesel locomotives.

## Trivia

* The Railway was a part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.

Farmer McColl

Farmer David "Mongrel" McColl was an unpleasant farmer who had a farm on the Loop Line.

## Bio

Farmer McColl was one of many farmers who needed his cattle sold in the market season of 1938. But because there was a pandemic of foot and mouth disease much of the island's cattle had to be checked for any sign of the disease. On one day, his cattle was to be checked and Percy was assigned to get the cattle if they cleared quarantine. When Percy arrived, he witnessed Farmer McColl bribing his inspections agent, Perkins, to give the clear for the cattle despite them still being diseased. Percy uncertain of what to do left the farm where he later revealed it to Diesel who attempted to collect the cattle. Just as Diesel was about to pull up to the train, Joey pulled up and arrested Farmer McColl and Perkins and took Diesel in for questioning. After this, Farmer McColl seems to have lost his farm.

Caroline

**Caroline** is a old fashion elderly car.

## Biography

So far, all of Caroline's appearances have been during bits of Edward's expositional narration, usually at the beginning of an episode, and seemingly never during the present time of the stories.

Caroline first appeared in Scrap as an example of a non-rail Non-Faceless Vehicle.

In Non-Faceless Vehicles, Caroline is among several vehicles shown in Rail Gate Prison.

In Affection, as Edward narrates that Non-Faceless Vehicles do in fact feel love, Caroline and Bertie are seen together.

In Modernisation, Caroline appears when Edward talks about how British Railways had growing competition from the more convenient and affordable roads in the postwar years.

In Diagnosis, Caroline is shown being worked on when Edward describes what metal fatigue means to a non-faceless vehicle, specifically during his description of the only effective treatment, a time-consuming, expensive and potentially fatal overhaul.

## Livery

Caroline is painted red with black fenders, a gold radiator and a grey rooftop. Her name is written on her sides in white.

## Basis

Caroline is based on a 1926 Morris Oxford Bullnose saloon.

## Trivia

* It is unknown when Caroline will fully appear in the series.

Blackout

**Blackout** is the 30th Sodor Short.

Blackout/Transcript

## Plot

At Brendam, Salty reviews what was inspected from items that were shipped from Australia along with fruits to Edward, Diesel and James and also mentions there were no needles. Edward points out to James that they will in the meantime have to examine all fruits imported from Australia because they had recently gone through a run of contaminated fruits. Suddenly, Percy appears out of nowhere (scaring away the tourists) to tell the engines that there will be a blackout.

The screen then goes pitch-black. Edward decides to end the video when Whiff appears, having mentioned that the blackout had somehow extended to the mainland. He tries out his new invention, a soundwave he calls Whiff's Audio Visualiser Effect. Edward decides they should discuss Season 3 of Stories of Sodor, but Diesel comes up with an idea.

Arlesburgh

**Arlesburgh** is a station on The Main Line and was the transfer station to the now closed Mid-Sodor Railway.

## History

Prior to the First World War, Sodor’s Main line began at Vicarstown and only went as far as Knapford. When the War began, the decision to extend the line Arlesburgh for a number of strategic reasons. First to link up with the Mid-Sodor Railway, second to exploit the coal deposits that were recently discovered at Marston Heights and third to connect the Island’s most populated centres for defensive purposes. By great chance, the Wars beginning coincide with the closure of the Sodor and Mainland Railway. Neil, Clive and Matthew were tasked by the government to spearhead this operation. The trio of highly experienced engines got stuck into the project, other engines did help with the project either delivering supplies or double heading a few trains but the project wasn’t a easy one, it was slated to take only 18 months to complete, this didn’t happen though because the planners had woefully underestimated the terrain they needed to work through, furthermore the shortages of raw materials and fuel impeded the workmen’s an to lay down the track there were also a number of accidents and a couple of injuries. After a incident with some German spies with the help of a mysterious Lucky Lamp, construction was continued with no setback's and no further delays with every deadline met. Eventually they reached Arlesburgh in 1918 a few days before World War 1 ended.

## Trivia

* The Narrator calls the station Arlesburgh but it actually called Lower Arlesburgh
Maverick (1994)

### ***"In their hands, a deck of cards was the only thing more dangerous than a gun."***

***Maverick*** is a 1994 American Western comedy film directed by Richard Donner and written by William Goldman, based on the 1950s television series of the same name created by Roy Huggins. The film stars Mel Gibson as Bret Maverick, a card player and con artist collecting money to enter a high-stakes poker game. He is joined in his adventure by Annabelle Bransford (Jodie Foster), another con artist, and lawman Marshall Zane Cooper (James Garner). The supporting cast features Graham Greene, James Coburn, Alfred Molina and a large number of cameo appearances by Western film actors, country music stars and other actors.

In the American Old West, wisecracking gambler Bret Maverick is on his way to a major five-card draw poker tournament. Maverick wants the prize money and to prove he is the best card player of his time. Short $3,000 of the $25,000 tournament entry fee, Maverick travels to the town of Crystal River, intending to collect on debts and win money at card games. He encounters the ill-tempered gambler Angel (Alfred Molina), the young con artist Annabelle Bransford, and lawman Marshal Zane Cooper.

Angel gets word that he needs to stop Maverick from reaching the tournament and leaves him for dead by hanging from a tree. The branch breaks under Maverick's weight, he boards the paddle steamer Lauren Belle and he makes it to the on-board tournament.

By the time of the tournament "break", there are four players remaining: Maverick, Bransford, Angel, and Commodore Duvall (James Coburn), the boat's owner and the tournament organizer. Maverick and Bransford have a tryst, someone chains his door shut and he makes it back from the break just before the game resumes at the 5am deadline. At the end of the game, Angel has a straight flush, but Maverick has a game-winning hand, a royal flush. Angel draws his gun and Cooper and Maverick shoot him and his stooges dead.

When Maverick is presented the $500,000 grand prize, Cooper escapes the boat with it. At a nighttime meeting in the woods, Cooper and Duvall discuss their success: Angel was working for Duvall, and Cooper's job was to steal the money if anyone other than Duvall had won the tournament. Duvall betrays Cooper, but they are interrupted by Maverick, who recovers the money back and leaves a single gun to settle between them their argument. Cooper beats up Duvall and sets out after Maverick.

Cooper finds Maverick relaxing in a tub and threatens to shoot him but the pretense is dropped when they acknowledge they are father and son; they had all along conspired after the $500,000. As Cooper enjoys a bath of his own, Bransford enters and robs the two, having surmised the relationship from their similar mannerisms. After she escapes, Maverick tells Cooper that she only got half the money, the rest being hidden in his boots. He admits that getting the money back will be much of fun.

Bulgy

**Rupert**, also known as **Bulgy**, is a red double decker bus.

## Biography

In Non-Faceless Vehicles, Bulgy was seen in Rail Gate Prison for unknown reasons.

In Prejudice, in what appears to be a flash-forward to 1965, a grinning Bulgy is seen along with Wendell and a frowning Duck while Edward explains that prejudice among non-faceless vehicles can occur by believing one's standing is higher simply by carrying out more prestigious jobs.

In Shunted, Bulgy is again seen in Railgate. It is unclear if this is the same sentence as previously seen, or if it is a different one.

In Competition, Bulgy was sent to work alongside the Little Western in 1965, as seen previously. Much to Bulgy's delight, the roads were taking all the passenger traffic, reducing the engines on the branch line to pulling singular coaches. At a station, Bulgy insulted Maggie, one of these singular coaches, as well as Duck, the engine pulling her. Bertie intervened, but this only led to Bulgy insulting Bertie as well for being a smaller bus than him. The resentment between the two buses meant that Bulgy was less than enthusiastic about helping Bertie carry railfans the next day. He bragged to Duck about a shortcut that could get him from Tidmouth to Waterton faster than by rail; however, this shortcut would soon prove to be Bulgy's comeuppance, as he collided with a bridge too short for him to pass under. As a result, Duck and Maggie took his passengers for the remainder of the tour.

After the events of the aforementioned episode, Bulgy was sent packing due to the passengers completely avoiding him. As Edward is narrating the story, he says that he doesn't know what happened to the bus, but he likes to think Bulgy is a henhouse now, as that would mean he has been rendered harmless.

## Livery

Bulgy is painted scarlet and cream. He has signs reading "JOIN THE ANTI-RAIL LEAGUE"  He also has signs on his front and back, reading "FREE THE ROADS" and a nameplate above his rear door.

## Basis

Bulgy is based on an AEC Bridgemaster double-decker bus.

## Trivia

* Bulgy gained a new model with a 3D face in the Sodor Short, Revolution.

Great Western Railway

The **Great Western Railway** (**GWR**) was a British railway company that linked London with the south-west and west of England, the Midlands, and most of Wales. It was founded in 1833, received its enabling Act of Parliament on 31 August 1835 and ran its first trains in 1838.

## Bio

On 1904, Montgomery was the first Vehicle to go one hundred miles per hour which let him be famous. The Great Western Railway also claimed that there are two ways of doing ways, the Great Western Railway and the wrong way, must engines followed this including Montgomery himself. On 1934, Duck the GWR engine visited the Island of Sodor as he was one of the engines who visited the Island. On 1938 Montgomery visited the island of Sodor with Duck and the next day he left with his train claiming to come back next year. When Wendell came back from Rail Gate Prison, Duck, Oliver and other engines and rolling stock welcomed him back. After Wendell's return, Duck went back to The Island of Sodor to help anyone who needs any help.

## History

The Great Western Railway originated from the desire of Bristol merchants to maintain their city as the second port of the country and the chief one for American trade. The increase in the size of ships and the gradual silting of the River Avon had made Liverpool an increasingly attractive port, and with a Liverpool to London rail line under construction in the 1830s Bristol's status was threatened. The answer for Bristol was, with the co-operation of London interests, to build a line of their own; a railway built to unprecedented standards of excellence to out-perform the lines being constructed to the North West of England.[4]

The company was founded at a public meeting in Bristol in 1833 and was incorporated by Act of Parliament in 1835. Isambard Kingdom Brunel, then aged twenty-nine, was appointed engineer.

## Trivia

* Wendell is incorrectly depicted as a GW because he is from the LNER.
Daisy

**Daisy Bucket** (pronounced as ***Bouquet***) is a diesel rail-car, who arrived to run commuter trains on the main line and help out on the Ffarquhar Branch during busy tourist seasons.

## Biography

Daisy arrived on Sodor in 1964 under dieselisation. She made a bad impression on the steam engines due to her snobby nature and this was made worse by Francis influencing her. After she had a run-in with a bull and helped James and Derek to the Works after they had broken down, Sir Topham Hatt decided to give her another chance.

## Persona

When Daisy first arrived, she was snobby and conceited. When Francis was on Sodor, she followed his lead. While she was good at doing her job, she was quite rude to the steam engines, especially to Derek, a failed diesel. Thanks to advice from Bruce, she learned to respect steam engines, stood up for Derek and even learned from Toby how to handle livestock on the rails.

Although she is boastful and very prideful about her commuter services, she always takes the time to be a positive role-model around others.

## Livery

Daisy is painted in light green and yellow linings. She supposedly wears makeup, including eyelashes, red lipstick, blush and blue eye shadow, but according to her, this was actually painted on for a promotional event.

## Basis

Daisy is based on the BR/Metro-Cammell Class 101/102 DMU. She is, however, a single railcar instead of the traditional two to four-piece units. These were one of the longest serving class of "First Generation" DMUs, with its service life of 47 years only being replaced by the Class 121. A total of 41 cars are preserved.

## Trivia

* Daisy had another model in Prologue.
* Daisy is Victor Tanzig's least favorite character.
* As revealed in Matriarchy, Daisy's full name is Daisy Bucket (possibly pronounced "bouquet"). This is a possible nod to Hyacinth Bucket, the main character of the British sitcom, *Keeping Up Appearances*, whom ironically enough, has a sister named Daisy.
