Killdane-Peel Godred Branch Line

The **Killdane-Peel Godred Branch Line** is unique for having electric engines on it.

## History

### Main Timeline

The branch line was opened to provide a faster and efficient service that the Mid Sodor Railway unfortunately couldn't provide. There was an Aluminium works at the end of the line that was run by the notorious Jacob Hockings. Fortunately, that was shut down, but two of the engines and Colin unfortunately couldn't be saved. After a storm that swept the island, new electric engines came to work the line on the upgraded telegraph poles. An Ironworks was built here too.

### Good Addison AU

In this timeline, the original four electric engines still run the branch to this day. This is because Sir Topham Hatt was able to get to the sheds in time to save Stevie, and the branch line didn't fall into disrepair due to his depression. Arry and Bert were too scared to come back to Sodor because of Addison and Duck biffing them off the rails and subsequently getting them arrested by the police. Ali goes there in their place, and Diesel volunteers to work with her at the Ironworks. Due to Arry and Bert not being there in the timeline, Diesel enjoys working with his sister. He gets a bit unnerved by Ali's dark sense of humour however.

### Midis Management AU

Arry is killed by Addison with Black Water on purpose instead of Duck being knocked out by Green Water. Duck and Diesel seek therapy and Bert runs away. Ali comes to the Ironworks in the AU, and Bert is brought a few days later. Bert is heavily untrusted by the other engines, but therapy and a good word from Ali did slowly turn him around.

### Ulfstead Extras AU

The aluminium works is shut down on the day that the Mid Sodor Railway does. Bertram, Freddie, Duke, Falcon, Stuart and Colin are all bought for the Earl's Estate Railway, which he runs up at Ulfstead Castle along with Millie. Like in the Good Addison AU, the original Peel Godred electric engines run the fleet to this day.

Old Spiteful

**Old Spiteful the Troublesome Brake Van** was a brake van and one of the antagonist of the Seventyverse.

## Biography

Old Spiteful was one the most mischievous brake vans on Sodor. His actions went from breaking away from trains or pushing engines off the rails to running engines into barber shops. During Donald and Douglas' trial, he constantly made Douglas late, angering Donald into bumping him. One day he was on James' train. However, James didn't feel well so Douglas helped him up the hill but with James losing steam and Douglas working hard enough for three, the weight against Old Spiteful caused him to be crushed. His remains were scrapped.

## Relationships

### James

James was one of the worse hit with the spiteful brake van. From breakaways to crashing into tar wagons, it seemed as if he couldn't get... a brake!

### Edward

Even Old Spiteful knew better than to play up on Edward. It was an unofficial rule that the trucks abided by.

### Duck

Yet another victim of Old Spiteful, Duck was rammed straight into a barber shop.

### Donald and Douglas

The brake van took Douglas as an easy target and made him very late. This enraged Donald, and he bumped Old Spiteful back. Douglas fought back though, and accidentally smashed the brake van in rage.

## Personality

Old Spiteful was a sadistic brake van, having no problem with running Duck into a barber shop, causing James' breakaway and making him crash into tar wagons, among many other incidents with no remorse. Unfortunately for him, this would lead to his demise at the buffers of Douglas.

Hawin Croka

The **Hawin Croka** is a large river which starts several hundred metres west of the Hawin Russagh in the south of Ward Fell. It then winds past Kellsthorpe and Rolf's Castle before reaching the bay near Kirk Ronan. The North Western Railway crosses the stream twice. The Main Line crosses it west of Kellsthorpe Road, and the Kirk Ronan Branch Line crosses it at Rolf's Castle.
Kirk Ronan

**Kirk Ronan** (Sudric for **Ronan's Church**) is a port town on Sodor's southern coast and the terminus of the Kirk Ronan Branch Line.

## History

The name is derived from Saint Ronan, a sixth century Irish missionary of the Iona School. The church here is dedicated to him. The Hawin Croka flows from here into the Irish Sea.

Until the 1860's, Kirk Ronan was a quiet fishing port. The town was reached by the Sodor and Mainland Railway, which was the first standard gauge railway on the Island. They hoped to start a steamer service from Kirk Ronan to Dublin in Ireland. This project failed, but the Crovan's Gate Mining Company used the harbour extensively for the shipment of ore from Ward Fell. Due to the collapse of the S&MR's tunnel through the Ballahoo Ridge, their trains only ran between here and Ballahoo. Skarloey and Rheneas arrived from Whitehaven here, in 1885.

Following the amalgamation of the Sudrian railways into the North Western Railway, the line to Kirk Ronan was demoted to branch line status. In 1987, Julie, Johnson and Lauren were bought for the North Western Railway for the Kirk Ronan branch.

The station has four platforms and four terminal tracks, with half the station covered by a glass roof. The station building is on the western platform, along with a stall selling flowers. A panoramic view is situated over tracks 1 and 2, overlooking the town.

In *A Better View for Gordon*, when the station was built, Gordon took a trial express there; he was initially impressed by the station, but was disappointed to find it lacked a view. Later, at the grand opening, his brakes malfunctioned and he ran through the buffers, causing major damage to both himself and the station wall. The wall was soon repaired and as an extra adjustment, a custom-made hole shaped like Gordon’s smokebox and funnel was made in the wall where Gordon crashed, named "Gordon's View" and intended as a panoramic view for Gordon. Lady Hatt's birthday party was once held here.

## Backstory

Jennings was one of the first engines on the Mid Sodor Railway and was a mother figure towards the younger engines. She was also in a relationship with Duke. Both engines were at Arlesburgh to greet Falcon and Alfred when they arrived. When Stuart arrived to replace Alfred who had been scrapped after an accident, Jennings, Duke and Falcon were there to greet him. When Falcon and Stuart coined the nickname "Granpuff" for Duke, Jennings became their "Puffma". Sadly, Jennings' cylinder burst one day and she could be be repaired enough to be retired for static display. Tasha took Jennings by rail to catch her ship to her new home at a park on the mainland. Years later, Jennings was moved to the Rolling Hills Railway where she remains on static display.

## Relationships

Jennings was regarded as Sir Handel and Peter Sam's "Puffma", and they viewed her as the more gentle, yet equally as much of a jokester, as Duke. They were very upset when she went to a park on static display, but were very happy when she was on static display at the Rolling Hills.

## Romance

### Duke

Duke and Jennings were happy together and when Falcon and Stuart started calling Duke "Granpuff", Jennings became their "Puffma".

## Plot

It is a busy day in Bigg City Port, and both the Star Fleet and the Z-Stacks are on the same job of transporting grain to Delta Queen for her to take up the coast. To help with the workload, Captain Star and Captain Zero charter a self-propelled barge named Bulstrode who is rude and disagreeable.

Meanwhile, the engines are tasked with transporting the grain to the tugs and Mr. Lloyd has chartered three logging engines named Lexi, Maeve and Placido who are very friendly.

The three logging engines soon make friends with the tugs and Zug observes how the Stars and Z-Stacks have been on friendlier terms since Zak and Zeus were dry docked.

When they are close to finishing, Warrior waits behind Zorran who is having his barge loaded when Bulstrode arrives and deliberately pushes Warrior forward. However, the crane operator has already released the lever, and the load of grain spills all over Warrior instead of Zorran's barge. Warrior manages to sneeze the grain off, which lands all over Bulstrode. Warrior apologises, claiming he couldn't help it! Ten Cents, Big Mac and Zorran then make jokes as Bulstrode's expense.

As punishment for his impatience, Bulstrode is forced to go last. When it's finally his turn, he takes a sharp turn at a dangerous speed and tips over, losing the grain as a result. After he is rescued, Captain Star and Captain Zero scold him for his behaviour today.

Meanwhile, Top Hat is preparing to take the logging engines home. Mr. Lloyd thanks them for their help and informs that they're welcome to come back and help again.

Unfortunately, they would end up stranded on Sodor when the ship they're on breaks down. During this time, the engines help around the island, with Etienne working on the Peel Godred branch alongside, Pamela, Selina, Kyle and Harleen. During the Great Railway Show, Etienne took the lead in the Great Race with Axel not too far behind but the two engines got side-tracked, allowing Connor, Hugo and Scotsman to overtake them. As a result, Etienne finished fourth with Axel dead last. Two years later, Etienne competed in the Great Race again. Etienne took the lead again but suddenly stopped just before the finish line.

Level Crossings

**Level Crossings** (known as **Railroad Crossings** in the United States) are the places where the road and railway meet and intersect. They consist of two gates on either side of the crossings. Usually, the gates need to be opened and closed by a person, but in more recent episodes, they have been operated by nearby signal boxes.

However, there are level crossing that lack gates and alarms. So the drivers of road vehicles must look both ways before they proceed to cross.

When engines approach a level crossing, they always have first priority and the road vehicles have to wait.
Guards

The **Guards** are in charge of the passenger and goods trains that run on the railway, and are responsible for keeping them on time. They blow their whistle when it is time for trains to leave and sit in the brake vans for goods trains or the brake coach for passenger trains, where they can apply the brakes in case of an emergency. Guards also have two flags, one red and one green. The green flag means "all set" and the red flag means "danger" or "stop". They often tell the drivers what to do, and take tickets on passenger trains.

Nightshade

**Nightshade the Destructive Ocean-Going Tug** was one of the antagonists in the SeventyVerse's TUGS spinoff series and a former member of the Salvage Fleet.

## Backstory

Nightshade used to work in the Salvage until he and two other tugs, Oleander and Foxglove were fired for dishonest behaviour. Years later, they were hired by Corona to kidnap Sunshine so they could murder her via a Final Firing and Corona could take her place in the Star Fleet. All four were caught by Zip, Zug, Ember, Pisces, Scorpio and Misty, however and were dry docked.

After that, the four tugs hid out at the Breaker's Yard, and they, along with Jebediah Broke, Jacob Burke and Ebenezer Blair would be recruited by Ursula Zero, who had also recruited Zak and Zeus to take over Bigg City Port. The villains were later joined by Hans and Otto. The evil group then had Zug murdered via a Final Firing (which, in Corona, Nightshade, Oleander and Foxglove's case counted as revenge for Zug foiling their plot to kill Sunshine). This was a distraction of an attack on Bigg City Port which saw Top Hat, Zilly, Kirke and Sally Seaplane killed. The group was later discovered by Ten Cents, Big Mac, Hercules, Zorran, Zip, Warrior, Venus, Captain Star, Captain Lucky and Captain Zero. Sadly, Captain Zero was killed during the confrontation and Otto was also killed after Warrior rammed him into the dockside, causing a barrel of Black Water to tip over, much to Warrior's dismay. During the hostage crisis, Nightshade, and fellow Poison Plant trio tugs, Oleander and Foxglove, held Stormy and Hail captive in a cave near Dem Der Rocks until Sunshine's group came to rescue them. During the resulting chase, Nightshade, Oleander and Foxglove accidentally ran aground and the three tugs sobbed at letting Ursula down as they sank to the bottom of the ocean. Their remains were never recovered from the ocean and they were made into homes for fish.

## Personality

Nightshade is violent, dangerous, ruthless, controlling, murderous and destructive. He is also short-tempered and reckless.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Brick is based on Ace of Diamonds, an ocean-going tug from a simulation game.

### Livery

## Trivia

* Nightshade' character is based on Brick from *The Powerpuff Girls*.
	+ As such, the preferred voice actor for Nightshade is Rob Paulsen, who voiced Brick.
* Nightshade, (along with Oleander and Foxglove's) worst nightmare is being humiliated.
Logan

**Logan the Radstock Sentinel Shunter** is a supporting character in the Seventyverse and is owned by the Rolling Hills Railway.

## Backstory

When Thomas ended up on a ship bound for Africa by mistake, Logan took his place in the Shunting Challenge in the Great Railway Show. He, along with Spencer and Caitlin travelled to Brendam Docks on Sodor where they met up with Emily and Glynn. The five engines travelled to Canada where the Great Railway Show was taking place. Unfortunately, Logan got nervous due to Gina setting a high bar and, due to his unfamiliarity with the track arrangement, Logan ended up making a lot of mistakes. It got so painful to watch that he was quickly sent back to the competitor's corner with a DNF (did not finish).

## Personality

Logan is a rough and humble, strong little shunter. He is very friendly and hardworking. However, he can easily get nervous and this resulted him in making a lot of mistakes during the Shunting Challenge.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Logan is based on a Radstock Sentinel Shunter. These were two small vertical-boilered, chain-driven steam locomotives used for shunting coal wagons on the colliery branchlines around Radstock. They were scrapped in 1959 and 1961 respectively. He carries the number of the larger Two-Engined Sentinel No. 7109 "Joyce", which is preserved. Unlike either of his bases, however, Logan has a funnel in his illustrations and on his CGI model.

### Livery

Logan is painted deep blue and yellow with black hazard stripes on his bufferbeam. The number "7109" is painted on the blue half of his cab in yellow and, in his book and merchandise, his name is painted on the yellow half of his boiler in blue.

**Marthwaite** is a station and village in the Arle Valley served by the Arlesdale Railway. It was formerly served by the Mid Sodor Railway.

## History

The village of Marthwaite is a pleasant one inhabited by friendly, hardworking people. Its situation is good, being sheltered on the north by tree-clad hills, and with a southerly aspect across the river. It is well served by public transport, both road and rail, and has deservedly become a popular holiday centre.

The railway station was opened by the Mid Sodor Railway in 1886. The platform and station buildings are on the south side of the line. Today, under Arlesdale Railway management, these buildings remain in service much as they used to be, but another platform was built on the north side of the loop. For some considerable time Marthwaite, being the mid-point, was the Arlesdale Railway's only passing place. They extended the loop to increase its capacity and avoid congestion, but did not entirely succeed; for sometimes at the height of the season five trains could be seen at Marthwaite waiting to pass each other. Drastic action was needed, and two further loops were laid in. The first was at Ffarquhar Road, and the second in the woods near Arlesdale Green. The provision of these loops has not only improved time keeping and traffic flow, but has greatly increased line capacity as well.

The Mid Sodor had a spur to a goods loop in the station Yard. From this loop a line swung away northward to a granite quarry. This quarry is a mile and a half from the village, and approached through a belt of trees. The Arlesdale Railway serves this quarry too, and their line to it is laid on the Mid Sodor's old track-bed. The Arlesdale Railway have, however, increased the siding capacity of the Yard to accommodate their bogie hopper wagons which are a great improvement on the small open type of wagon used by the Mid Sodor.

The granite quarry was at a low ebb in 2005, and the takeover by the Ballast Consortium was hailed with relief by the people of Marthwaite and elsewhere in the valley.
Goyle

**Goyle the Gurgler Diesel** is an antagonist of the Seventyverse and is owned by British Railways. He is the Seventyverse version of D5501 from *Stepney the Bluebell Engine.*

## Backstory

Goyle was one of the diesels at the scrapyard where Bear found Emily. He, Simone and Tempest were angry when Bear left with Emily but the growling of his engine shut them up.

## Personality

## Technical Details

#### Basis

Goyle is based on a British Rail (BR) Class 31 Co-Co diesel-electric engine. Over two-hundred and sixty-three members of this class was built from 1957 and 1962, with twenty-six of these engines preserved by museums, such as the National Railway Museum and heritage railways, such as the Dean Forest Railway. Ten more of these engines were in preservation but were scrapped from either accidents or to give spare parts to other engines. These engines were given two nicknames, first being "Toffee Apples" because of the shape of their control lever and the second "Skinheads" because the first few engines did not have the codebox on the front of the roof.

Goyle's real life counterpart was built 25 of November, 1957, withdrawn 10th of July 1976, and scrapped January of 1977.

Avril is also a member of this class.

Fred Pelham

**Fred Pelham the Orange Truck** is one of the antagonists in the Seventyverse.

## Backstory

Fred Pelham was one of the most troublesome trucks on the Island of Sodor. He was one of the trucks who mocked Oliver after his accident in the turntable well and he was one of the trucks who caused Toby's tightrope incident. Ever since S.C.Ruffey's demise at the buffers of Oliver, Fred Pelham took up the mantle of ringleader of the trucks. Upon overhearing a conservation between Oliver and Henrietta, where the latter admitted to having feelings for Douglas, Fred Pelham decided to cause a breakaway and kill Toad in the process as losses bring couples closer together. The trucks carry out their plans at Gordon's Hill, but thanks to the brave efforts of Oliver, Henrietta and the guard, Toad is saved. Just then Douglas arrived, having heard about the runaway and overheard Fred Pelham muttering about his plan being foiled. This enraged the Caledonian engine and when Sir Topham Hatt found out, he demoted Fred Pelham to a disposal bin for a waste dump on the mainland.
