The Restoration of the Mine Engines

The Restoration of the Mine Engines is a rewrite of Toby's Discovery.

## Transcript

(*In Halloween of 1970*)

"It was halloween, Peter Sam and Sir Handel had a question chat with Duke."

"Which lost engines will we find?" Asked Peter Sam and Sir Handel.

"What lost engines?" Said Duke.

"The lost engines who used to work at the mines of the Mid Sodor Railway." Added Peter Sam.

"Ah". Replied Duke. "They were left to rust when the Mid Sodor Railway closed."

"I'll be discussing about these mine engines". Added Duke. "There was Bertram, my brother, who was rebuilt into a tank engine and later ended up in a collision at the mineshaft with Lockald, Bertram survived, but Lockald was destroyed, which led to Bertram being lost in the mines, no one, especially me, were able to find Bertram. There was also Stanley, who rode roughly and came off the rails, he was later turned into a pumping engine. There was also Atlas, who you know him, Atlas worked at the mines along with John and Jerry, Atlas' cab was removed in 1936 to keep the company's head above water. There was also John, who was Tim's brother and one of the Arlesdale Tramway engines, John's cab was removed in 1936 to keep the company's head above water. Finally there was Jerry, who was Duncan's cousin and was rebuilt before he came to the Mid Sodor Railway. Jerry's cab was removed in 1936 to keep the company's head above water."

"Jerry is my cousin?" Asked Duncan.

"Yes he is." Replied Duke. "Both you and Jerry were built in the same workshop, but you two have different basises."

"Woah": Added Duncan.

"I miss Atlas, John and Jerry." Said Peter Sam, "But I never heard of Bertram and Stanley before and who's Lockald?".

"Lockald." Duke replied, "Was Tim and John's immature brother who never cared about his work and was blamed many times. He had a collision with Bertram at the mineshaft in 1884, Bertram's bravery killed Lockald which led to Bertram being lost in the mineshaft where he killed Lockald. Lockald's chassis wasn't destroyed, but no one especially me were able to find it, same with Bertram. Lockald's spirit still lives within his chassis. Peter Sam, I know you don't know No. 2's name but I have told you his story on the Mid Sodor Railway."

Soon Douglas arrived with a crane to lift Sir Handel, Peter Sam and Duncan.

"We'll see you soon tomorrow, Skarloey, Rheneas, Rusty and Duke." Said Sir Handel, Peter Sam and Duncan.

And then Douglas took Sir Handel, Peter Sam and Duncan to Arlesburgh, and later Madge took the three engines to Cas-ny-Hawin.

"We're all three here." Said Sir Handel.

Soon Sir Handel, Peter Sam and Duncan were put on the rusted rails of Cas-ny-Hawin. And when they went to the mines, they were scared and the track was bumpy.

"Those tracks are too bumpy, and I'll never rock 'n ' roll again!", grumbled Duncan.

Soon, they found Stanley, Atlas, John and Jerry, Duncan was scared of them.

"They are ghosts!", said Duncan.

"No they are not.", replied Sir Handel, "they were engines who used to work here until it was closed."

"Hi Stanley, Atlas, John and Jerry", said Peter Sam, I haven't seen all four of you for years."

"Never trust cabless engines!", grumbled Duncan.

\*Stanley, Atlas, John and Jerry awake\*

"Stuart and Falcon", said Atlas, John and Jerry, "We didn't know you two were both repainted and renamed."

"And I didn't know you two were repainted in my color Stuart and Falcon.", added Stanley.

"We are named Peter Sam and Sir Handel now.", replied Peter Sam and Sir Handel to the mine engines.

And then Peter Sam and Sir Handel went to a mineshaft, the tracks were bumpy, soon they pulled Bertram out of the mineshaft.

"Another cabless engine!", said Duncan, "that's rubbish!".

\*Bertram awakes\*

"Who are all of you?", asked Bertram to the engines.

"I'm Peter Sam", replied Peter Sam.

"I'm Sir Handel", replied Sir Handel.

"I'm Duncan", replied Duncan.

"I'm Atlas", replied Atlas.

"I'm John", replied John, "Long time no see Bertram!", replied John again.

"I'm Jerry", replied Jerry.

"I'm Stanley", replied Stanley.

Soon Madge and other lorries took Peter Sam, Sir Handel, Duncan, Atlas, John, Jerry, Bertram, Stanley and Stanley's lost parts to Arlesburgh, Donald took the engines to Crovan's Gate. Duke was surprised to see the engines again.

"Atlas! John! Jerry! Bertram! Stanley!", said Duke, "I haven't seen all of you for years!", replied Duke again.

"Why Stanley?", asked Sir Handel.

"Because he won't be cocky anymore", replied Duke.

"We were abandoned at the mines for years!", added Atlas.

Later, the thin controller arrived.

"Bertram, Atlas and Stanley, you will work at the now reopened Skarloey Railway slate quarry, and John and Jerry, you will work at the mainline of the railway", said the thin controller,

\*The engines whistle\*

Duncan changes his opinion on cabless engines, and Peter Sam, Sir Handel and Duke were happy to be reunited with the MSR mine engines, even Duke was happy to be reunited with his brother.
