The Adventure Continues

**The Adventure Continues** is the first special written for *Classic Sodor Adventures*, originally posted between November 3 and 8, 2019 on DeviantArt, and between November 7 and 11, 2019 on FanFiction. The story is an adaptation of all of the third, the first half of the fourth and three quarters of the fifth books of the Railway Series, which were originally adapted for the first series in 1984. It also serves as a sequel to the 2015 special *The Adventure Begins*. Chronologically, this covers episodes 8-15 of the revamped series 1.

## Plot

### Chapter 1: The Trouble with Coaches

Picking up where *The Adventure Begins* left off, James arrives at Knapford yards just in time to see Thomas leave for his branch line with Annie and Clarabel. Sir Topham Hatt then assigns James to work with Edward on a passenger run, but the red engine accidentally bumps Audrey, Hilary and Mark the old coaches, much to their disgruntlement. James' first run back is further spoiled by accidentally wheeshing steam all over Sir Topham's nice new top hat after receiving compliments from a couple, and then stopping beyond the platform at Wellsworth station. Nicole chats with them for a bit before they take off again.

On the return trip, James and Edward see Thomas with Annie and Clarabel. The blue tank engine eagerly talks about his branch line and mentions Glynn. Edward hopes he can be put back into service someday, but James has doubts. Thomas takes off with Annie and Clarabel, as James and Edward whistle goodbye. They note how happy Thomas, Annie and Clarabel are together.

That evening, Thomas eagerly chats about his new role on the railway, and brings up a cheeky dog stealing his driver's sandwich. Edward notes the dog reminds him of Thomas, and they have to get some sleep. Before they can, however, Sir Topham Hatt, wearing an ill-fitting bowler hat, scolds James for his careless behavior. He warns him that he may take away his red paint in favour of blue if this continues. James hopes to keep his red paint to honour Glynn's legacy.

James becomes so afraid at the thought that he has a nightmare in which everyone around him is blue, except for him, and was almost forcibly painted blue. The next morning, he's rough with the red coaches Sean, Mick, Harry and Dexter. Out on the main line, the latter's brakes come on due to a leak in the pipes. The solution to the problem comes in the form of newspaper and bootlaces given by a grumpy passenger known as Jeremiah Jobling, much to James' embarrassment. Sean, Mick and Harry berate James on damaging poor Dexter, but the brake coach remains silent.

### Chapter 2: On Your Guard

Edward sees James shunting the coaches into the sidings; Dexter on the bad order track. When he's told of the incident, Edward berates James for being reckless with the coaches. Sir Topham Hatt sends James to his shed. Sean, Mick and Harry are satisfied, but Dexter is sorry for James.

With James out of action, Edward, Henry, Gordon, Johnson and Lauren had to help with the workload. Henry was worried about his steaming issues, as he collected the red coaches. The brake coach was Randolph, who was standing in for Dexter. The coaches were all talking anxiously about their brother, while Henry's crew assures him to go easy on his steaming.

Thomas meanwhile, was taking in all the sights of his line. He arrives at Elsbridge, and hears about Henry taking James' local service. Thomas is cross about Henry being late until Annie and Clarabel tell him of his shy steaming. Thomas is shocked about this, and starts to be patient. Unfortunately, the red coaches and Jeremiah Jobling are anything but, and Thomas berates them for berating Henry. Henry thanks Thomas before Annie prompts them to dash off. The guard tries to get into Clarabel but trips over a lady's umbrella.

The coaches try to tell Thomas there wasn't a guard, but Thomas was too focused on making up for lost time to notice. The trio eventually come to a stop at a signal. Upon realising the guard was left behind, Thomas was shocked. Thankfully, the guard arrives a few moments later and had a drink of water. With the signal down and the guard back, Thomas carries on his way.

At Crovan's Gate, Henry stops and the coaches all berate him for sticking in the tunnel. He threatens to leave them behind next time, which stun them into silence. Skarloey shows up with Agnes, Ruth, Lucy, Jemima and Beatrice, and tells Henry to do his best.

Days later, Henry's crew talk to Sir Topham Hatt about his condition, and doing James' jobs isn't helping at all. Sir Topham Hatt then headed to James and tells him he can go out of the shed. He tells James to take some trucks. He's horrified by the prospect due to crashing last time he took some, but he agrees to taking the train. He doesn't tell Edward this however, and steams off to find the trucks.

The trucks taunt James by calling him a 'red monster' and asking him if he needed bootlaces. James starts off with his train, annoyed. He only gets more annoyed with a brake van causes a hotbox and his crew have to set it right. When they near the hill, James starts going up. The truck and brake van start arguing for leadership of the trucks. In their argument, part of the train breaks away. James, very annoyed, goes back for the breakaway trucks.

The trucks nearly crash into Edward, who was taking Audrey, Hilary and Mark. Thankfully, the guard breaks in time and Edward was going slowly. James collects his trucks and is glad Edward's unhurt. Edward offers help for James, but he turns him down as Edward has passengers to deliver. James starts up the hill, puffing harder than ever until he finally gets to the top.

Later, Edward meets James at Vicarstown, and Sir Topham Hatt praises James for handling the trucks well. The old coaches promise to put in a good word for Dexter and his brothers, and the brake van and truck argue about who should be in charge of the Troublesome Trucks.

### Chapter 3: Fishy Situations

Spring turned to Summer, and that meant more passengers and goods for the engines. The big engines, Gordon in particular, were complaining about shunting. Edward however, didn't mind this at all.

Later, Gordon sees Thomas, Annie and Clarabel at Elsbridge. Gordon grips his problems to the trio, and Thomas remarks that he'd like to try fishing. Gordon laughs at such a notion, remarking that their crews would have to hold the rods. Thomas is confident he can figure things out.

Down at Vicarstown, Gordon tries to get on the turntable. But no matter where he stopped, he couldn't balance the table. He had to pull the next train backwards, much to his dismay.

Down on the Ffarqhuar branch at Callan, the water towers were out of order. Thomas is thirsty, and his crew take him to the River Els at the bridge. Thomas, Annie and Clarabel start watching the fishing again, while the driver and fireman use a bucket to fill Thomas' tank. It's full of holes, which gets the fireman to sing "There's a hole in my bucket". Eventually, Thomas' tanks were full and they carried on.

Back at Knapford, Edward was shocked to see Gordon enter the station, backwards. Hilary and James laugh at him, but Edward didn't see anything funny about it. James manages to balance the table, and it swung very easily. Too easily, and as his driver chases his hat, James was spinning like a top. Gordon arrives just in time to see everything. James, dizzily and not so happily, went into the shed.

Down on the branch line, Thomas starts having a pain in his boiler. As his coaches were shunted to a siding, an inspector arrived to check him over. He and Sir Topham Hatt saw fish in Thomas' tanks. Thomas and his crew realised the fish were picked up from the river. Thomas' crew, Sir Topham and the inspector start to fish out of Thomas' cab, much to his embarrassment. A red bus comes up and realises that the passengers were very delayed. He offers to take them for Thomas, Annie and Clarabel to save time, and the coaches agree. Once the fish were all out, the men had a supper of fish and chips. Thomas realises fishing is too uncomfortable, and he realises he's late for his last passenger and goods runs. Annie and Clarabel assure him that a bus took the passengers. Thomas wants to thank said bus, but he's not there, and Annie and Clarabel didn't get the bus' name. Leaving Annie and Clarabel in the shed, he rushes off to do his goods run.

Henry, James and Gordon hold an indignation meeting: Henry got bricked in a tunnel and has trouble keeping up with the timetables; Gordon goes backwards and people thinks he's a tank engine; James has bootlaces fix his train and he spins around like a top; and they have to take trains from dirty sidings. They also think of a 3 "D" routine which they decide to hold onto. They then decide to go on strike.

### Chapter 4: Percy the New Engine

A dark green tank engine numbered 50 was shunting about for four tank engines: Nathan, Rodney, Roxanne and Lawrence to take out. They are all very rude to No. 50, and he wished he had a friend.

The passengers were buzzing around Sir Topham Hatt's office, wondering where their morning train was. The inspector then told Sir Topham Hatt that Henry was sulking. He rushed to the shed.

Henry, Gordon and James were all very cross, telling Sir Topham Hatt that shunting was a job for Thomas, Julie or Katie. But with the former on the branch line and the latter two at the coal mine, there was now no pilot. "Tender engines don't shunt". Sir Topham Hatt, frustrated, decides to go find Edward. Henry and James are second guessing the strike, but Gordon tells them to persist.

Sir Topham Hatt came to see Edward, and he goes to shunt trains for the big engines. He wonders why Henry is doing this, as he is usually better than this. Sean, Mick, Harry and Randolph are happy to see Edward, but Gordon is frustrated with him. James and Henry decide to get to the trains regardless, and Gordon follows begrudgingly.

Gordon and James leave, but Henry thanks Edward for shunting the train. He confides that the taunting about his shy steaming has been getting to him. Edward assures him that good things can happen, as he was rebuilt himself. Henry leaves with a little bit of faith.

The next day, Gordon hissed at Edward yet again, and Edward explains that Henry doesn't hiss him, James only did it when Gordon was around. Only Gordon did it all the time. Sir Topham Hatt decides another tank engine is needed, as Edward would be happier on his branch line.

At the industry, Sir Topham Hatt goes to see Lowrance, Rodney, Roxanne and Nathan. Nathan tries to bribe his way into Sir Topham Hatt's railway, but he doesn't give into the lies. He sees No. 50 arranging some trucks close by. Seeing he was a hard worker, Sir Topham Hatt decided to pick No. 50. When he discovered he didn't have a name, Sir Topham Hatt decides to name the engine Percy, after his late father. Percy happily accepts and heads to his new home. He chooses to keep his green livery, but in a lighter shade.

Percy is repainted light green with the number 6 and meets Edward. Edward is shocked that Percy never met a kind engine before, and the two instantly become friends. Edward shows Percy what to do and they arrange the next passenger trains. As Edward is explain to Percy about Thomas and Dexter, Gordon came up hissing. Percy wheeshed steam right back at him, and he races off. Percy then tells Edward about the tank engines he left behind, just as Thomas, Annie and Clarabel arrive. The tank engines hit it off right away, as does Percy with Annie and Clarabel. Percy feels like Sodor is home already.

A few days later, Thomas, Percy and Edward meet up, and Sir Topham Hatt explains the big engines are shut up in the shed for sulking. Edward and Thomas are tasked with the mainline traffic, while Percy handles the Ffarqhuar branch and the Midis will help out where possible. Percy promises Thomas to look after Annie and Clarabel.

On Percy's first passenger run, he handles Annie and Clarabel very well. The duo compliment him as they enter Elsbridge. Thomas, with Audrey, Hilary and Mark, praises Percy on his smooth run. Thomas also says that Percy will be the first engine he turns to if he can't take Annie and Clarabel himself. Overwhelmed with happiness, Percy heads off. Thomas also reports the news to Edward and the red coaches as they pass each other.

At the sheds, it was revealed Gordon, Henry and James were stuck there for one week. They lament on not being careful what they wish for.

### Chapter 5: Express Engines

Sir Topham Hatt comes to see the big engines, and promises to let them out if they behave. Gordon, Henry and James promise to do just that.

Sir Topham Hatt also tells Edward, Percy and Thomas to play on the branch line for a few days. Thomas and Percy race to find Annie and Clarabel, while Edward, amused, follows at a sensible pace. As Thomas leaves with the coaches, Edward and Percy go to shunt trucks about. The trio enjoy taking it easy.

Things weren't so jolly with the mainline trio. Gordon brings up the bootlace incident, while James tries to get back at Gordon and Henry with getting stuck on a hill and being bricked up in a tunnel, but neither do much good. Gordon starts boasting about knowing the express route by instinct, and he tasks James with getting the express coaches. He wonders what it would be like to fly along the line. As the passengers board, one asks Sir Topham Hatt if he wants to wear a bowler hat. He doesn't find it fitting. Gordon pulled away and James went back to work.

On the branch line, Edward heads to the quarry and warns Percy to be careful if he needs to go on the main line. Percy didn't mind being alone, as he often was cheeky to the big engines. Unfortunately, he wasn't told of Henry's condition, and teased him too. He then spotted some trucks that weren't in good shape, and starts to take them to the Steamworks. He starts running out of water at Wellsworth, and stops to fill up. Unfortunately, he forgot Edward's advice, and Gordon sped down the mainline. Percy starts reversing backwards without his crew, and Gordon gives chase, leaving his passengers at Wellsworth.

Percy doesn't realise too late that his crew were left behind. Thankfully, Gordon was going after him. When Percy crashed into a bank of earth at the end of a siding, Gordon came to pull him out. He asked what Percy was doing on the main line, and he explained about the trucks. Gordon tells him to whistle to the signalman, and Percy, embarrassed, remembered Edward's word of advice.

Gordon returns to the station and explains the situation. James teased that perhaps Gordon lost his way by "instinct", much to his chagrin. The passengers complain to Sir Topham Hatt and he has to organise another train. He decides James must pull the train. He agrees.

With the passengers cheering him, James flies by Elsbridge, much to Thomas, Edward, Annie and Clarabel's shock. They wonder what James would think of the experience. James made up some of the time, but the passengers didn't mind he was a tad late. James is rewarded with pulling the express more often.

The evening after that, the engines were gathered at Tidmouth sheds. James talks about his express run, and Gordon admits he took a wrong turn. Sir Topham Hatt calls Gordon out on knowing the way by instinct. Percy admits it was partly his fault too, and explains about not whistling to the signalman. Gordon then apologised to the other engines, and they are taken aback by what they heard.

James and Gordon are firm friends, and Gordon liked 'quiet work' for a change. He also gave a ballast truck a missing tooth trying to teach him manners. Percy learned his lesson and is now more careful on the mainline, making a name for himself as station pilot. Dexter was fixed up, and though he breaks down more often than your average coach, he was glad to be back at work. And Henry... well, his steaming problems are a story for another time...

## Trivia

* The special adapts stories from *James the Red Engine*, *Tank Engine Thomas Again* and *Troublesome Engines*. However, *Thomas, Terence and the Snow*, *Thomas and Bertie* and *Henry and the Elephant* are not incorporated, instead being adapted as standalone stories.
* The fantasy sequence in the first chapter is inspired from the 1983 music video *Michael Jackson's Thriller*.
* Nicole, Johnson, Katie, Julie, Lauren and the old coaches (Audrey, Hilary and Mark) were included in a November 2021 edit.
* The fourth chapter, *Percy the New Engine*, was posted on fanficton on TobyandMavisforever's birthday. Percy is also one of her favourite characters.
* The station by the river is Callen, not Elsbridge, as Elsbridge was made into the branch line's junction.
* Percy was going to meet Skarloey and Rheneas in chapter 5, but that was dropped as it seemed unrealistic for Percy to get to Crovan's Gate without stopping.

## Differences from the books and TV series

### General

* The events of *James the Red Engine* as well as *Thomas and the Guard* take place in 1925, and *Troublesome Engines* in 1926; *Thomas Goes Fishing* presumably takes place around that timeframe. In *The Adventure Continues*, all of the stories take place much closer together within the span of a few weeks during the spring-summer of 1979.

### James and the Coaches (Top Hat/Bootlaces)

* *The Adventure Continues* begins immediately where *The Adventure Begins* left off, with James returning from the Steamworks in his new red coat of paint. The book takes place sometime after the events of *Thomas and the Breakdown Train*. How long, it’s never stated.
* In *The Adventure Continues*, it’s mentioned the top hat was a gift from Sir Topham Hatt’s wife. Where he got the hat in the book or episode is never explained.
* We see James and Edward on Gordon’s hill in the book, though not in *The Adventure Continues* or the model episode, though it happened offscreen for both times.
* James and Edward are pulling the old coaches; Audrey, Hilary and Mark, while in the TVS and books, they had non-sentient coaches.
* Nicole, one of the Midland engines, is seen chatting with James and Edward. The Midland engines aren’t shown in any sort of detail in the books and don’t exist in the TV show.
* The bit with James getting hiccups for being told about Gordon’s incident on the hill and startling an old lady into dropping her parcels was dropped.
* Sir Topham Hatt scolds James the following morning about his ruined hat in both the book and model adaptation, titled James and the Coaches. In The Adventure Continues, he scolds him at night. Furthermore, Sir Topham has an ill-fitting bowler hat on his head in The Adventure Continues - which Thomas snickers at - while this isn’t shown in either the book or model episode.
* James’ fear about being painted blue is expanded upon through a nightmare sequence.
* Sean, Mick, Harry and Dexter are the coaches James pulls, while in the book and model episode, it’s just some generic coaches.
* Dexter’s aftermath of breaking down is shown in more detail, with him being shunted into the bad order siding and Edward scolding James for his carelessness.
* James being left in the shed has consequences on Henry.

### Thomas and the Guard

* Thomas is the one to berate Henry for being late in both the book and the model episode. Here, while Thomas is cross at first, Annie and Clarabel explain Henry’s condition and that softens him up. The berating Henry role is given to the red coaches, Sean, Mick, Harry and Randolph - as Dexter is awaiting repairs - as well as some passengers.
* Henry is filling in for James on the stopping passenger train, though in the book and model episode, it’s implied this is his usual run.
* We don’t know how long Thomas has had his branch line in the book or model episode, but in The Adventure Continues, Thomas has recently been given the branch line.
* Skarloey makes a cameo in this adaptation, as do the old coaches. They don’t appear in the actual story.

### Troublesome Trucks

* Part of the reason why James is let out again is because Henry is suffering steaming problems, not helped by his time in the tunnel. This isn’t mentioned or shown in the book or model episode.
* James has a fear of taking trucks because of his accident. Whether he has this fear at all in either the book or episode isn’t shown or explained.
* In the book, a random blue tank engine mocks James for the bootlaces. In the model episode, that was Thomas. In The Adventure Continues, the trucks do this.
* The Spiteful Brake Van and Scruffey (both unnamed) are part of James’ goods train.
* In both the book and The Adventure Continues, Edward has a passenger train - the latter of which has the old coaches. In the model series, Edward has a goods train, which Sir Topham Hatt was somehow aboard.

### Tenders and Turntables

* This takes place at the same time as Thomas Goes Fishing, so Thomas brings up the fact he wants to go fishing to Gordon.
* As well as Gordon, Henry, James and Edward, Nicole and Johnson need to be turned around as they are tender engines. Lauren, Katie and Julie don’t need to be turned around as they are tank engines like Thomas.
* Thomas doesn’t see Gordon going backwards with the express. Instead, it’s Edward, who, unlike Thomas in the book or model episode, is completely unamused. It’s the old coaches who tease Gordon instead of Thomas.
* James’ driver has to catch his hat. There was a picture of someone chasing their hat in the illustration, but this wasn’t specifically mentioned to be James’ driver. In the model episode, no such event occurs.
* The trucks laugh at James’ incident on the turntable. This wasn’t seen or mentioned in the model episode or book.
* The “disgraceful, disgusting, despicable” routine debuts here, but in the books and model series, it debuts later on.
* Henry’s reason for going on strike is because of his steaming problems and the tunnel incident, not because of an elephant, as Henry and the Elephant hasn’t happened yet. Furthermore, the tunnel incident happened several years before the strike incident in the book and TV series, so that didn’t factor into Henry’s decision.
* James’ bootlace incident also factored into his decision to go on strike in this story, but it didn’t in the book or episode as they happened a while ago.

### Thomas Goes Fishing

* Thomas’ conversation with Gordon at the station takes place at the same time as Tenders and Turntables, so Gordon complains about shunting.
* In the model episode, Thomas is telling James about fishing. In The Adventure Continues, it’s Gordon.
* Clarabel sees a fish escaping from one of the fishermen. This doesn’t happen in the book or model episode.
* The fireman sings “There’s a Hole in my Bucket” as per the book.
* Annie and Clarabel are in more of a panic to see Thomas in pain.
* Bertie makes a nameless cameo in *The Adventure Continues* and takes Thomas’ passengers home as Thomas will be late for his last goods run otherwise. Thomas’ delay isn’t seen or mentioned in the model episode or the book. Furthermore, it’s not confirmed as to whether Bertie’s on Sodor in the books yet or not.

### Trouble in the Shed

* Percy’s life pre-Sodor is expanded upon. He’s the number 50, and he’s bullied by the other tank engines he lives with.
* The tank engines themselves are all different. Nathan and Lawrence wouldn’t have been built when Percy was brought to Sodor in the books, and Roxanne and Rodney would have been on another railway altogether.
* Only Gordon is confident about the strike in The Adventure Continues. James has doubts because he only just got back in Sir Topham Hatt’s good graces, and Henry feels like he’s letting Edward down. Edward even mentions he expected better from Henry, which wasn’t mentioned in the model episode or the book.
* Henry also mentions the strike has nothing to do with Edward, at least in his mind, and is kind to him when Edward shunts his trains. James only wheeshes when Gordon’s present, and it’s Gordon alone who says Edward has “gray wheels”, whereas it was black wheels in the book and the UK dub.
* Nathan, one of the workshop tank engines, tries to convince Sir Topham Hatt to purchase him. It’s not mentioned if one of the engines tries to do this in the book, and in the model episode, the engines are covered in tarpaulins. The latter is due to budget costs.
* Percy was named after Sir Topham Hatt’s father, Percy Topham Hatt. In the books and model episode, Sir Topham Hatt seems to have gotten the name Percy from nowhere.
* The workshop tank engines are outraged when Percy is purchased, but in the book, the reactions are a mix of anger, shock and disappointment.
* Percy wheeshes Gordon instead of Henry as Henry was being nice to Edward.
* Percy meeting Thomas, Annie and Clarabel in the book or model episode isn’t shown. Here, Percy meets Thomas, Annie and Clarabel when they come into Knapford during peak hour traffic.
* Sir Topham Hatt mentions he’ll make the schedule lighter for Edward and Thomas to handle on the main line. This wasn’t mentioned to have happened in the book or episode.
* Nicole, Lauren and Johnson were going to tackle handling the Wellsworth and Kirk Ronan branch lines. The status of these branch lines wasn’t mentioned in the episode, and in the book, the Wellsworth branch wasn’t open yet.
* Percy taking out Annie and Clarabel is expanded, as is Thomas giving his praises at Elsbridge, reporting to Edward on the up journey.

### Percy Runs Away

* It’s mentioned the big engines were punished for a week in *The Adventure Continues*, but the book and model episode don’t make that clear.
* Percy sees some trucks in need of repair and is on his way to Crovan’s Gate to drop them off. This is why he’s on the main line in The Adventure Continues. It’s not explained in the book or model episode.
* Percy also stops for water, which is why he shunted the trucks into the siding.
* Gordon took Percy’s crew with him when he ran away. This was never shown in the book or model episode.
* Gordon also reminds Percy of Edward’s words, much to his embarrassment.
* Percy is given a formal welcome by the other engines at the end of The Adventure Continues.

### James and the Express

* The conversation with Gordon, James and Henry takes place at night in the book and episode at the sheds. In The Adventure Continues, it takes place during the day at Knapford station. It also runs into the conversation about James doing odd jobs right away instead of the next morning.
* Henry comments that the signalman directs the engines where to go, not the narrator.
* Sir Topham Hatt still has the bowler hat on when he boards the express. He has his normal top hat in the episode and the book.
* As Percy Runs Away takes place at the same time as this story in The Adventure Continues, it explains why Gordon is on the loop line: Percy was taking some trucks to Crovan’s Gate to be mended. Gordon also had to chase Percy, explaining why he was delayed even further.
* James rushes past Thomas, Annie, Clarabel and Edward at Elsbridge. This wasn’t mentioned to have happened in the model episode or the book - though in the book, Thomas’ branch line junction is Knapford. Furthermore, when this book and episode took place, Edward would have most likely been at Wellsworth.
* Gordon congratulates James in the shed rather than when he’s shunting the trucks, as well as apologizes to him and the others.
* Gordon gives a ballast truck a missing tooth when teaching him "manners".
