Hiyashi was luckily able to transition way before this at around 14, with complete support from Yukari and Kaneko. Sadly, almost nothing is known about her parents or the rest of her family.

Cold War

The **Cold War** was a period of geopolitical tension between the United States and Germany and their respective allies, the Democratic Bloc and the Fascist Bloc. The term *cold war* is used because there was no large-scale fighting directly between the two superpowers, but they each supported opposing sides in major regional conflicts known as proxy wars. The conflict was based on the ideological and geopolitical struggle for global influence by these two superpowers, following their roles as the Allies of World War II that led to victory against Communist Russia and Imperial Japan in 1946. Aside from the nuclear arms race and conventional military deployment, the struggle for dominance was expressed via indirect means, such as psychological warfare, propaganda campaigns, espionage, far-reaching embargoes, sports diplomacy, and technological competitions like the Space Race.

The Democratic Bloc was led by the United States, as well as a number of other First World nations that were generally liberal democracies but tied to a network of often authoritarian, Third World states, most of which were the European powers' former colonies. The Fascist Bloc was led by Germany and its Fascist Party called the Volkisch Party, which had an influence across the Second World and was also tied to a network of authoritarian states. Germany had a corporatocracy and installed similarly corporatist regimes in its satellite states. United States involvement in regime change during the Cold War included support for anti-fascist and left-wing dictatorships, governments, and uprisings across the world, while German involvement in regime change included the funding of right-wing parties, wars of national rebirth around the world. As nearly all the colonial states underwent decolonization in the aftermath of World War I, many became Third World battlefields in the Cold War.

Duncan

Duncan is a grumpy narrow gauge steam engine who works on the Skarloey Railway.

## Biography

Duncan was built in 1928 and worked in a factory until 1958 when he was sent to Sodor to work on the Skarloey Railway.

He made a poor first impression due to his poor attitude and mistreatment of Rusty. Skarloey returned shortly after his arrival and quickly set Duncan straight. Duncan repaired his relationship with Rusty and the two formed a friendship.

In 1959, Duncan chased after Rusty after he was hijacked by Peter Boomer. He deliberately derailed Rusty in order to knock Peter off the footplate. Duncan stayed with Rusty until help would arrive, but Peter later awoke from unconsciousness and killed Duncan's crew and Rusty's driver. Duncan and Rusty were both left derailed as Peter made his escape.

## Personality

Duncan is a very blunt engine. He's loyal to his friends and will do anything to protect them. However, he is absolutely horrid to those he dislikes. He's also notoriously grumpy. He spends much of his time groaning and complaining about being overworked and being treated unfairly.

## Technical Details

### Basis

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

### Livery

Duncan is painted yellow with black lining and gold boiler bands.

## Appearances

* Sodor Then and Now 10: Boomer's Reign (S1, E10)

## Trivia

* Like Rusty, Duncan was originally set to debut in Season 2, but was moved earlier in order to accurately fulfill the RWS timeline, given the RWS is canon to Sodor Then and Now.
* There were thoughts of Duncan confronting Peter Boomer, but that idea never made it to a script.

Kamiichigo (神苺) is one of the four gods that watch over Embynn. They own the water, ice, earth and plant fairies, and are also the creator of the sky, causing them to be known as Mother Nature or Mother Ichigo.

## Bio

### Appearance

Kamiichigo usually depicted as having long pale blue hair which is soft like the ocean, a golden staff, and green robes with gold trim, even though no one knows where this depiction came from, or why it stuck.

### Personality

Kamiichigo watches over the top left corner of Embynn, however, they are prayed to and worshipped all over the land due to their kind, gentle nature and their power for bringing good harvests without fail. Kamiichigo is also known for being so kind, that they rarely leave a prayer or wish ungranted.

## Relationships

**Kamimegumi -** fellow god

**Kamiyume -** fellow god

**Kamireimu -** fellow god

## Entymology

* They are also said to whisper and sing in the ears of children at night to help them sleep better
* Kamiichigo created the mermaids
* It is unknown what Kamiichigo's staff does
* There is an ancient story that if you go to the Kamiichigo statue in the middle of Azumi Cove at midnight when the moon is high and the sky is completely clear, the statue will sparkle and Kamiichigo will appear out in the ocean and bless you with their healing magic
Oliver

Oliver is a passenger engine that works on the North Western Railway. He is the number 11 and has full intent of making a name for himself.

## Biography

Oliver was built in 1934 and worked on the Great Western Railway until it was absorbed into British Railways in 1949. He continued to work on his small branchline until dieselization started to take effect. His branchlines was one of the first to start using diesels. They proved to be a success and Oliver found many of his friends and family being sold for scrap. Oliver knew that his time on Earth was far from done, so in 1957, he coupled up to a brakevan he'd met several years prior, Toad, and went off on a voyage for refuge. They soon learned of a small private railway on the Island of Sodor called the North Western Railway, and they journeyed to Sodor. Oliver made it as far as Barrow-In-Furness in November 1959 before he ran out of coal and water and was infiltrated by diesels.

He was taken to Barrow's Scrapyard where he stayed for nearly a month until Douglas found him. Douglas, despite being in hot water himself, agreed to rescue Oliver and bring him to Sodor. However, the two were found by Dodge and he chased them all the way to Knapford. Oliver had been given coal and water from Douglas' tender and was able to outrun Dodge, but the two were forced to witness Dodge bumping into Duck and Splatter causing the three of them to crash into the burning sheds. Oliver then assisted in helping stop Diesel 10. He returned to Knapford and was purchased by Sir Charles Topham Hatt and given the Number 11.

## Personality

Oliver is a very conceited, arrogant engine who thrives to make a name for himself. His grit and determination make him a very strong asset to any railway. With immense speed and strength, Oliver longs for crowds of fans and thousands of people singing his praises. He often feels he isn't appreciated for his efforts and bravery. In Season 2, he will likely put his strengths to the test to try and earn the respect of the other engines.

## Basis

Oliver is based on a GWR Class 14XX tank engine, particularly the one numbered 1436.

## Livery

Oliver is painted apple green with yellow stripes and a small GWR logo on each side. He also has his number on his side near his cab.

## Appearances

### Season 1

* Sodor Then and Now 9: The Caledonian Engines (S1, E9)
* Sodor Then and Now 10: Boomer's Reign (S1, E10)

## Trivia

* Oliver was initially going to appear at either the end of Season 2 or Early Season 3, but was brought in much earlier so that his arc could begin much earlier.
* Oliver arrives on Sodor in 1959 rather than 1967.
* Oliver's escape only lasts two years rather than the supposed 4 in the books.

The Caledonian Engines

The Caledonian Engines Thumbnail

**The Caledonian Engines** is the ninth episode of Season 1 of Sodor Then And Now. The episode premiered on March 2nd, 2021

## Plot

The Fat Controller has arranged for an engine from Scotland to assist with the goods work, but he and the engines are shocked when two identical engines arrive and claim that they were both sent there. The Caledonian Twins, Donald and Douglas work alongside Duck in the yards at Knapford preparing the coaches for the engines and pulling goods trains along the mainline. During this time, Douglas has an encounter with a brakevan called Dimitri.

A few weeks after they had arrived, Duck explained how shunting the express worked. Douglas was told to put the brake coach at the front so that it would be at the back of the train, but Douglas neglected to do this and the passengers began to complain. Donald arrived and quickly came up with a plan to have him and Douglas swap tenders so Donald would take the blame. They did so, but their plan backfired as soon as Sir Bertram arrived. He then forced a confession out of the twins and Douglas admitted that he wasn't supposed to be on Sodor.

A few days later, Donald had an accident with a signalbox and was sent to the works for repairs. Later that night, the engines sympathized with Douglas and after he left, Henry created a plan to keep them both on the island. The other engines agreed with the exception of Edward and Toby. Regardless, James pretended to be ill the next day and asked Douglas to help him up the hill. Douglas agreed and they reached the hill. There, Douglas realized that the brakevan he was pushing was Dimitri, but it ended up being too late. The pressure Douglas applied crushed Dimitri and caused him to break apart, killing him.

That night, the police arrived and after some questioning, Henry, James, and Dougals were arrested. Sir Bertram was also taken into questioning. Charles Hatt then arrives and informs them that three new diesels will be coming on trial. The engines are upset, but Charles states that the contract has been updated so that whoever is in charge is extremely strict on the diesel.

The episode ends with Patrick Boomer telling Diesel 10, Splatter, and Dodge that they will all be going to the North Western Railway for a trial, and that Peter Boomer and Diesel will find a way over as well. Patrick states to himself that he wants Bertram dead and the island to suffer.

Space Liberation Front

The **Space Liberation Front (SLF),** also known as **"Splifs,"** is the collective name for anti-space militant groups of autonomous individuals or covert cells who, according to the SLF Press Office, use "economic sabotage and guerilla warfare to stop the exploitation and destruction of space and the continued neglect of the planet Earth's fragile environment." The SLF was founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1999, and spread to the rest of the world by 2010. It is now an international organization with actions reported in nearly two dozen spacefaring countries and is widely regarded as descending from the Animal Liberation Front and Earth Liberation Fronts because of the relationship and cooperation between the three movements. Using the same leaderless resistance model, as well as similar guidelines to the ALF and ELF, sympathizers say it is an eco-defense group dedicated to taking the profit motive out of space-based commerce and instead refocusing efforts on restoring Earth's environment as well as halting the exploitation of poorer nations that have become more dependent on richer spacefaring ones. The SLF was classified as the top "international terror" threat to the United States and its allies by the Federal Bureau of Investigation by 2015, and its members are classified as terrorists. Its long-term goal include the complete capitulation of the modern capitalistic order and reallocation of wealth to the poor.

They are the sole responsible party that conducted the 2025 Phobos Incident which completely cut-off the planet Earth from its space-based industry throughout the Solar System and left space-based infrastructure to become more self-sufficient than before. A series of seven refugee convoys were assembled above the Moon shortly after the Phobos Incident and are making their way to habitable locations in other star systems, as of 2027.

The **2025 Phobos Incident** was a series of three coordinated terrorist attacks carried out by elements of the Space Liberation Front (SLF) against the spacefaring nations of the world on the morning of Monday, January 13, 2025. The attacks resulted in the deaths of 14,000, over 150,000 injuries, and substantial long-term environmental consequences to the planet Earth, in addition to at least $40 trillion in infrastructure and property damage. It is the deadliest terrorist attack in human history and the single deadliest incident to occur in Low-Earth orbit, Martian orbit, and on the Lunar surface.

The first in the series of attacks was the assault on the Phobos Waystation which destroyed the moon of Mars and temporarily halted transportation to the Asteroid Belt and Outer Planets, the second was the bombing of Sea of Tranquility City which resulted in a massive decompression event suffocating tens of thousands, and the third and final collision of several orbital satellites in a cascade that resulted in a Kessler syndrome which stands to cut Earth off from its space-based infrastructure throughout the Solar System for at least the next fifty years.

Japanese National RailwaysSir Bertram Topham Hatt

## Biography

Hiro was built in 1917 and was sent to Sodor in 1920 to work for Sir Bertram Topham Hatt temporarily. During his time on Sodor, he helped Henry gain some confidence and helped deliver a heavy train despite taking on bad coal. Some time later, Hiro was involved in a horrific accident that left him badly damaged. The Fat Controller informed him and the others that he couldn't afford to repair Hiro if he also wanted to invest in Welsh Coal for Henry. Hiro made the mature decision to let Henry get his coal and he would stay as is. Hiro was taken to a siding at Wellsworth and hidden from vandals. He was later moved to remain completely out of sight, and hasn't been seen since 1923.

## Personality

Hiro is very wise and mature for his young age. He essentially sacrifices himself so that Henry can have a second chance at life. He also shows great courage and dedication when he is determined to get his train to the station despite his illness.

Charles Topham Hatt

## Sir Charles Topham Hatt

**Sir Charles Topham Hatt**, nicknamed "**The Fat Controller**", is the next manager of the North Western Railway.

## Biography

Charles Topham Hatt was born on June 18th, 1918 at Wellsworth Hospital. His father, Bertram Topham Hatt, swore to train him to become the next controller of the railway.

In December of 1955, Charles is seen with his father who requests that he acts as guard for Henry's goods train.

Charles is not seen again until 1957, as a fully grown man who is married to Amanda Croarie, and has 2 children Steven & Bridgette.

Charles currently has partial control of the railway, but will not gain full control until his father retires. Bertram Hatt has just announced his full retirement, and Charles is slated to take his place. Charles appears to be very nervous to take this position and points out the flaws in his father's leaderships, claiming he's allowed larger corporations to take advantage of his indulgent personality. Charles begins to confront his father with this issue during the construction of Brendam Docks.

In 1959, Charles tells the engines that three diesels will be put on trial, but has promised that nothing will happen because he made some reforms to the Diesel contract that was signed.

## Personality

Sir Charles appears to be a lot more assertive than his father, not taking deals and ideas from clients as lightly. He does appear to have father's heart and passion, but with a bit more urgency and attentiveness. He's a family man like his father, and cares greatly for his two children, Steven and Bridget. He also fell deeply in love with his wife Amanda and the feelings have yet to change.

It is likely that Charles will be horribly shaken up after the events of "Boomer's Reign" and may need some time to recover.

**Tidmouth Sheds** are the main engine sheds of the North Western Railway located at Tidmouth. Numerous major events have occurred at the sheds, such as the strike of the big engines and the confrontation among Duck, Diesel and the big engines.

## History

### *The Railway Series*

In 1925, an agreement was made with the LMS, which allowed NWR trains to run as far as Barrow-in-Furness. Following this, the main motive power depot was moved from Vicarstown to Tidmouth, where the new four-road engine shed was built nearby the station. There was also a turntable outside of the shed, which was close to the sea, which once caused James to be spun around at high speed due to the wind. Additionally, a large coaling stage for the steam engines is situated just outside of the shed, with a ramp to push up trucks supplying coal.

## Plot

After years of work and progress, Patrick Boomer has finally completed "his" engine. After the engine comes to life, Patrick names him Henry before departing home. The next morning, after Patrick reveals that he plans to have Henry sold, his workshop is raided by police officers who immediately arrest Boomer for theft and illegally building an engine that wasn't his design. One of the officers happens to be Officer Lowham Hatt, twin brother of Sir Bertram Topham Hatt. Lowham returns to Sodor soon after and tells his brother that Henry is available on the cheap. Bertram jumps at this opportunity and purchases Henry. Henry is brought to Sodor a few months later and begins working on the railway. Around the same time, a rental engine named Hiro arrives from Japan. Hiro and Henry are instructed to double-head an extremely long goods train. However, the two take on some bad coal and start to break down during the journey. The two eventually push through and deliver the train before going to the works and having their pipes cleaned. However, this wouldn't be the end of Henry's troubles. Henry begins to have trouble steaming, an issue declared to be due to his significantly small firebox. Henry is placed on Welsh Coal, but at the expensive of Hiro. Hiro gets into a costly accident, and Bertram can only afford to repair one. Hiro states Henry should be repaired given he is far younger and has so much to prove. Henry receives his Welsh Coal and Hiro is shunted on a siding at Wellsworth temporarily until repairs are affordable.

## Plot

After being hidden away behind a station for nearly four years, James the Red Engine is given a second chance at life when Mr. George Hugh, his old manager, manages to strike a deal with Sir Bertram Topham Hatt and has him sold to the North Western Railway. James arrives on the railway and is immediately named the Number 5 engine.

However, he is involved in a serious crash during his first freight service, and is sent to the works to be repaired and repainted. James returns in a new coat of red paint and with a bit more confidence necessary. Despite being eternally grateful for a second chance at life, he begins acting very arrogant and conceited. As a result, he ends up making numerous mistakes.

His carelessness causes him to wheesh steam in the Fat Controller's face, and he overshoots the platform during the same run. Later on, he is reckless with some branchline coaches and ends up breaking the couplings on them. He is forced to suffer the humiliation of pulling the train held together by a newspaper and bootlaces.

After his mishaps, James is sent to the back of the sheds in disgrace for several days. He begins to question his usefulness and fees guilty for his actions. That is, until Mr. Hugh, the newly hired Skarloey Railway controller, arrives at the sheds to encourage him to take a stand and ask for another chance. Later that night, James apologizes for his actions and explains why he feels he hasn't been as useful. The engines offer their apologies as well and Sir Topham Hatt agrees to give James another chance.

James is sent to pull a goods train across the island. However, half the train breaks away on Gordon's Hill. Despite the trucks' resistance, James pushes through and gets the train over the hill and to the station. The next day, he gets his chance to pull the express. After his successful run, he talks with Gordon and convinces him to make amends with Thomas. Gordon and Thomas reconcile and Henry returns home shortly after. The episode ends with Gordon thanking James and telling him that he has proven himself a valuable asset to the railway.

Dodge

Dodge is a green diesel shunter who worked with his twin Splatter and his boss Diesel 10.

## Background Information

### First Appearance

Sodor Then and Now 7: Old Faithful (S1, E7)

### Last Appearance

Sodor Then and Now 10: Boomer's Reign (S1, E10)

## Biography

Dodge was built in Darlington Works in 1956 alongside his twin, Splatter.

Splatter, Dodge, and Diesel were all purchased by Patrick Boomer and his son Peter and were sent to work at the Barrow-In-Furness Scrapyards as a cover-up.

In 1959, Dodge, Splatter, and Diesel 10 were sent to Sodor for a trial run. Dodge assisted in the capture of Thomas, Edward, and Donald. He later persued Douglas and Oliver, but was switched onto a different siding at Knapford Sheds. He ran into Duck and Splatter and all three crashed into the burning engine shed.

Dodge's fate is unknown.

## Personality

Dodge and Splatter do not appear to be very intelligent, but Dodge seems to be slightly smarter than his twin. He's able to better pick up on social cues and is a better liar than Splatter. He's undoubtedly loyal to Patrick Boomer and Diesel 10.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Dodge is based on a BR Class 08 shunter, of which there are hundreds.

### Livery

Dodge is painted in a gray and olive green livery. His nameplate is painted in white on his sides.

## Trivia

* Dodge was initially going to fight Duck, but after a few mixups, he was used to pursue Douglas and Oliver instead.
* GTSH's Dodge has been broken for nearly a decade, so GTSH swapped his chassis with Bert's chassis. He also used Bert specifically because his Bert is faster than his Arry.
* Dodge, Splatter, and Diesel 10 were initially going to fight Donald in Boomer's Reign, but that scene was scrapped.
* Dodge and Splatter were also going to fight Thomas and Edward in an early draft of Boomer's Reign. This scene was also cut.

Graystripe

Characteristics:

Graystripe is loyal and supportive of his friends and not afraid to defend what he believes to be the right thing. He is caring and loves everyone and thinks of the best for others. He is humorous and loves a good joke and likes to help out with his clan the best he can and ensure the younger warriors know what to do.

## Graystripe

### Current status:

Alive, ThunderClan

Motives:

Graystripe has always wanted to be loyal to his clan and to be accepted among them. He wants to help his clan the best he can and he looks forward to the day when he will be able to see his best friend, Firestar, his mates Silverstream and Millie, and two of his kits, Briarlight and Feathertail in StarClan. He wants to make sure all the clans are safe and to get rid of all the tensions whether it be between all four clans or just in ThunderClan.

Fears:

Graystripe fears that he might be shunned or not accepted by his clan since he has shown before that he is not loyal to his clan and closest friends and family. He had left ThunderClan to join RiverClan to raise his kits that he had had with a RiverClan she-cat, Silverstream who had died. He then moved back to ThunderClan after missing his friends and family and had promised to himself that he would not mate again only to take Millie as his mate afterwards. He had also betrayed Firestar’s daughter, Squirrelflight, by saying that he would stay by her side through thick and thin only to request leaving the clans to discover what it meant to live in a clan and to figure out if he still wanted to stay with the clan cats. Because of all this the cats of the clans do not trust him but he knows it is mostly his fault. He has also shown throughout the books to fear that he is or would not be good enough and is a fairly self conscious cat.

Dreams:

Graystripe has had no important dreams in particular although in the newest book from Warriors, he has had several flash backs to a time when he was temporarily leader of ThunderClan while the actual leader, Firestar, had gone on a mission and left him in charge. He would think back and day dream to when he had to lead his clan through tough times and how hard it was for him and how he never wanted to be a leader and when he had been kidnapped by twolegs, or what the clans call people, and come back to the clans he decided he did not want to be deputy to the leader anymore and thought himself unfit to be leader after Firestar.

Desires:

Graystripe desires to be able to be with his kits, Stormfur, Feathertail, Brairlight, Blossomfall and many others as well as his mates, Millie and Silverstream and his friends Firestar and Ravenpaw but he cannot be with them all at the same time. Stormfur lives with an entire different group of cats, his two mates and Feathertail and Briarlight are dead and he is just left with the rest of his children. He is now an elder and the most recent Warriors book was a book written about him where he traveled to the Tribe of Rushing Water, which is a group of cats that his son, Stormfur, had left to live.
Duke

Duke is an old tender engine that worked on the Mid-Sodor Railway until its closure in 1947.

## Biography

Duke was built in 1879 and brought to construct the Mid Sodor Railway just a year later. He worked there and was the oldest engine both on the railway and one of the oldest on Sodor.

He was responsible for training and teaching Falcon, Proteus, Stuart, and many other engines and helped form them into the engines they are today. He unfortunately was forced to witness Proteus' death and helped Falcon through it.

He saw the railway through the first world war, the Great Depression, and the second world war until it had to close in 1947. Many things are responsible for the railway's closure, but it's safe to say Duke's near 70 year service was not one of them.

After the railway's closure, all the other engines were sold to other railways or scrapped, but no one wanted Duke. The MSR's manager felt it wrong to have Duke scrapped after everything he'd done for the railway, so he had Duke covered and hidden in his old shed. There he remains to this very day. His fate is unknown.

## Personality

Duke is a grumpy, but kind and caring old engine who always tries to set thsoe that are younger than him up for success. He took an extreme liking to Falcon and Stuart and looked at them as family. It broke his heart when he was forced to be separated from them and only hopes that they are okay. Duke never loses hope and hasn't lost hope despite being locked away in a shed for over a decade by this point.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Duke is based on a Ffestiniog England Class locomotive and was built in 1879.

### Livery

Duke is painted light brown with yellow lining and a light brown buffer beam.

Knapford Harbour

**Knapford Harbour** is a small port located in Knapford. It is the Harbour Line that is near the Main Line terminus. This port is served by both the Main Line and Thomas' Branch Line. Henry picks up the Flying Kipper from here.

## History

Knapford Harbour began as a wharf around 1885, connected to another wharf at Elsbridge by the lightly built, horse worked Knapford and Elsbridge Railway. It initially served as a base for A. W. Dry's drainage operations in the area, but eventually proved a disappointment. It needed constant dredging and by 1905 the cost had become prohibitive. They abandoned it and extended the line along A. W. Dry’s road to Tidmouth to use the port there. From then until 1956, the harbour remained little used.

By the mid-1950s, there was severe congestion at Tidmouth, so Sir Charles Topham Hatt launched his Knapford Harbour Improvement Scheme, using plans created by his father, to redevelop the harbour and relieve the congestion at Tidmouth. Percy was transferred from Tidmouth to assist in its construction and ultimately stayed on the branch line. All the while, Trevor was loaned from the Vicar of Wellsworth. The work caused a considerable realignment of the entire branch line and was finished in 1957.
