Kyle Harrigan

**Kyle Harrigan** was the controller of the Harwick Tramway. He was Mrs. Harrigan's husband.

## Biography

Kyle Harrigan was the controller of the Harwick Tramway starting when Toby was built in 1879. Toby's stamina mirrored his when it came to the line, working tirelessly to keep the company running.

Mrs. Harrigan passed away from influenza in 1903, causing Kyle Harrigan to be broken by this. The way Toby told it, when he wasn't drinking himself into disorderly behavior, he neglected his responsibilities. The line had to close in 1904.

Joshua

"*"Not at all. I'm a Class 42, also known as a Warship."*
"Why Warship?"

"Maybe I was originally meant for the Navy."*"*

— **Joshua** introducing himself to Samantha.

**Joshua**, or **Diesel 10** is a prototype Class 42 "Warship" diesel engine, who visited the North Western Region on a trial.

## Biography

Joshua was a prototype diesel who arrived on Sodor. He primarily worked on the mainline, but he had a few issues with his engine and did not grow fond of the steam engines at first, especially Kate and James. However, after can accident with a lorry, he admitted his mistake of his vacuum brakes always being there to keep him safe and apologized to the engines. As of now, he is no longer on the island and was assigned to other work elsewhere.

## Livery

Joshua is painted in ochre with tan stripes along his sides, his buffers are painted in dark brown.

## Basis

Joshua is based on a BR Class 42 diesel-hydraulic. All but two members of the class were named after Royal Navy warships, so they, and the similar Class 43, were nicknamed "Warships". Two of these engines are preserved.

## Trivia

* In the Short Rivalry, Joshua is voiced by Andrew Leago.
* The name "Joshua" (or rather his nickname "Josh") was first revealed in the Sodor Short Rivalry, although the descriptions of both Rivalry and Mistake still refer to him as "Diesel 10".
* In his official debut in the Stories of Sodor, he is without his claw “Pinchy”. Victor said he removed this because he found this design very silly, but iconic.
* Victor has recently implied he will return with his claw and become a villain as he has been shown in nearly all forms of Thomas media.

Peel Godred Branch Line

**The Peel Godred Branch Line** is a Branch line that is a part of the North Western Region.

## History

The line initially began construction in the 1930s as another part of the Sodor Construction Scheme during the Great Depression, but the project ran out of money quickly and only three miles were built going out of Killdane.

In 1950, Sir Topham Hatt had purchased two engines named Paul and Hurricane and announced that the Peel Godred Branch would be completed, as well as additional features around the town to promote jobs.  Arthur would join the line two years later, and the line would be completed the next year, with Samson joining the line.

The line's opening caused a decrease in traffic on the Mid-Sodor Railway, resulting in its closure in 1954. That same year, all six of its engines were sold to the rapidly growing Skarloey Railway.

The line was naturally busy, even more so with the construction of the Culdee Fell Railway at Kirk Machan. In 1957, the immensely heavy workload needed another engine. Sir Topham Hatt requested one, Johnny Cuba, under the name of Cuthbert. He soon disappeared, taking his productivity with him. Sir Topham Hatt then requested Molly specifically. She was originally going to join the branch when it opened but she had been reassigned and replaced with Samson.

The line always kept busy, so it was largely unaffected by  Dr. Beeching's cuts when he visited Sodor in 1963, aside from the closure of Abbey Station.

Iris asks if Edward has any more stories, which he dismisses. Everyone eventually agrees to him retelling of when Percy first arrived in 1934, but stops shortly after starting. He then realises that he could tell stories that *might* have happened. He then explains what the SCP Foundation is, the website about them, and how they might have been on Sodor during the 1950s and 60s. He then gives the examples of the stories that have happened in the past. Everyone agrees to this, and Edward begins the first story.

Racist/Transcript

## Plot

Eric begins by saying that he has heard that Gordon is racist now. Gordon asks how it’s racist to hate the French, to which James asks how couldn’t it be racist. Gordon says that he wouldn’t expect a northerner to understand, but that it’s a sacred duty of Englishmen to hate the French, Welsh, the Irish, the Scots, Italians, the Spanish. The Americans, when the English aren’t losing a war; the Russians when they’re not fighting the Turks or Germans. Further is the Japanese, Argentinians and the Australians. Gordon emphasises the latter, before stopping himself and admits that he does sound very racist. James affirms this, and adds that he isn’t as bad as Sheffield. Sheffield points out that he isn’t racist and that he hates everyone equally.

Monarchy

**Monarchy** is the 107th Sodor Short.

## Plot

"For too long our governments have been bogged down by bureaucracy; our politicians hogtied by red tape. It's time for a new kind of leader, one who will put the bureaucrats in their place. One who will not be intimidated by some word salad of a regulation, one who will act in the best interest of the people, who will implement policies with unprecedented swiftness and efficiency. How, you might ask? Simple: by sacking anyone who disagrees with them."

The scene then cuts to Gordon, who announces that he will be running for Supreme Leader of Sodor in the upcoming election. He goes on to add, that if elected, he will increase funding for schools, hospitals and the police. He will also strive to kill all the poor, because, who needs them? If anyone disagrees, they will be thrown in prison or exiled to an undesirable location, like France. He will also ban all forms of immigration, because when has that ever benefited a country? He concludes by saying that if you want revolutionary changes and groundbreaking reforms, you should vote for him and his party, the Monarchist Party by liking the video. He then says the party's slogan: Innovation, Extermination and Xenophobia. And vote for one Gordon Reeves.

Cecil then declares the shoot over. Gordon asks Diesel how he performed, which the latter praises. Gordon expresses doubts about the party's slogan, notably how it might put people off. Diesel insists it won't and that people are desperate for honest politicians. He goes on to say that Gordon is being honest about how his policies will be perceived by "certain elements of society", but it doesn't mean they're wrong. Gordon brings him the part about killing the poor, which Diesel also insists will work and reassures him that it will win him the election, and that he will be a great leader. Gordon seems surprised by this and asks if he means it. Diesel confirms this and notes that he wouldn't have become his election agent if he didn't believe in Gordon. He thanks Diesel. Just then, his driver arrives and informs him that they need to go and attend an anti-immigration rally at Brendam. They leave, while Diesel expresses that "this will be fun" and laughs.

## Plot

At Whiff's workshop, Whiff is working on something when it makes a mess out of the room before running away. Whiff and Sheffield, inside, are knocked over.

Later, Whiff tells Edward, Gordon, Henry and James about what he did, which was summoning a demon. Whiff says that they'll have to take care of the matter on their own. He knows that demons possess individuals to blend in better so they can cause more damage but cannot stand religious icons, which can be something people worship. Whiff also knows demons will seek out the most foul and despised individuals. Edward assigns Gordon to the furries, Henry to the incels, James to the neckbeards and Edward himself to the debased members of the roster.

Edward and Whiff start with Percy, whom is not the demon. They then try with Reginald, Diesel, Samantha, Duck, Arthur, Samson, Donald, Douglas and Eric, but with no luck. Gordon, Henry and James are also equally as frustrated. Edward decides to change things up, not wanting to be accused of being the Sudrian Inquisition when Geoffrey suddenly reveals himself, declaring "Nobody expects the Sudrian Inquisition!". Whiff then drops a mask, revealing Geoffrey to be the possessed one. Geoffrey then rants, ending that the scientists will learn that E is not equal to mc^2, which makes Whiff decide to break out the contingencies, which is a three-step process: talk therapy, give a warm meal and a full course of recto-shock therapy. Geoffrey runs away, with Whiff in hot pursuit. The others are left bewildered and irate.

Randolph

**Randolph** was an express engine and Reginald's brother who worked for the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.

## Biography

Randolph and Reginald, alongside all their siblings, worked out of London. Randolph got jealous of Reginald's rise in popularity. They would argue whenever Reginald got a special job. Reginald was the only Patriot without a girlfriend and Randolph stated Reginald didn't have time for girls, implying that Reginald was such a hard worker that he didn't have time for a relationship. He didn't expect anyone to misunderstand, but they did, and rumours about Reginald's sexuality spread throughout London. Randolph had left the city during this time, and and couldn't clarify what he meant. Prior to being sent away to Sodor, Randolph owned up to Reginald to being the one who started the rumours. Reginald, furious, told him he'd have a party when Randolph died.

Not much else is known about Randolph's life before 1962, though he did get Metal Fatigue somewhere during this time. It was not treated, due to it being hard to identify.

In 1962, Randolph, missing his brother, as well as wanting to make amends, volunteered to bring an excursion train to Sodor. He met up with Reginald at Maron and he was still furious at him. Later down the line, due to a faulty set of signals and points, Randolph had a head-on collision with Edward, resulting in the latter's boiler bursting. That night, Randolph was still depressed due to not seeing Reginald since Maron.

The next morning, Randolph derailed prior to getting to his train, resulting in Reginald being called in to take it. Randolph started to feel pain from the Metal Fatigue and after apologising to his brother, he passed out due to the Metal Fatigue.

Randolph was taken to the works and diagnosed, this time with the Metal Fatigue having spread throughout his entire body. With Reginald taking responsibility of his affairs, Reginald opted to overhaul Randolph before getting Edward a new boiler. Despite the best efforts of the works, Randolph was never able to be re-fired and thus passed away. A small memorial was held for him the day after, and his remains were taken to the scrapyard and melted down.

## Livery

He was painted in LMS green livery with red lining similar to his counterpart from the Railway Series, and had the letters "BCE" written on his tender.

Harold

**Harold** is a helicopter who was introduced in Season 4.

## Biography

Harold arrived on Sodor in 1958 at the new airport near Elsbridge. When he met Percy, he claimed to be able to do everything better than land vehicles. He also says railways are slow and out-of-date.

After the night of the engines handling the post train, Percy stoped by Harold's airfield, and he explains he has been grounded due to the strong winds. Percy takes the chance to get his own back for the earlier teasing by telling the helicopter that rails work wonders. Harold apologises to Percy about being rude, but gets a call on his radio, telling him about an emergency at the Regatta, with several capsized yachts and he has to go out to save the people in the water. Despite problems with his engine, he managed to safely land at Brendam with the people. Percy accepted Harold's apology and the two became firm friends. The helicopter became a good friend to everyone and was very useful, especially in helping in emergencies.

## Persona

Harold was shown to be very proud of being able to fly and the speed and versatility this gives him. He somewhat tended to be cocky, as he believed that "railways are slow and quite out of date". This caused a bit of rivalry between him and Percy. Despite this, he still works hard and deep down, he knows that the engines on the Fat Controller's railway, including Percy, are just as useful as he is, as proven with their efforts of the post train.

## Livery

Harold is painted white with red lining. His name is painted on his sides, near his tail, in red.

## Basis

Harold is based on a Sikorsky S-55 helicopter.

Radek Zelenka

**Radek Zelenka** was a refugee from Czechoslovakia.

## Biography

Radek Zelenka was a workman on the MSR after the second World War. He was a refugee from Czechoslovakia whose family was exiled off their farm. He emigrated to Sodor and was hired by the MSR as a porter at Arlesburgh. His enthusiasm to work prompted the yard manager to tell him he liked the cut of his gib. He made a great impression on the railway not just by his good working attitude, but also preventing a derailment involving Adam. For this he became immensely popular by engines and people alike. Unfortunately, his time would not be long as he would make an unfortunate discovery at the workmen's party. When talking to Billy Shoepack about the results of an inspection at Marsten Heights, Billy expresses his discontent at potentially losing his job as well as the rest of his staff. He quips that they should pull an "Adam" on the railway board if they ever ride the train. Radek thinks it's another British expression until Billy tells him the full story. The next morning, Radek angrily confronts Adam on what he did back in Bulbrick. Disgusted by his lack of remorse, he reveals to the old engine that one of the POWs he killed was his brother, Andrej. Adam is instantly shocked and remorseful, but Radek is too upset to accept his apology. He walks away, presumably to quit his position.

In Extension, it is revealed by Joey that his brother was a Nazi conman and a thief who ran an insurance scam on Jewish families at the height of the holocaust. In spite of this, Radek was still devastated by his murder and consequently, it can be assumed that when the MSR shut down he went to find a job elsewhere.

## Persona

Radek Zelenka was a refuge from Czechoslovakia. He is a kind-hearted, decent and hard-working individual who was quick to assimilate into British culture. He made a great impression on his employer when he announced he was ready for work, and saved Adam from a possible derailment. However he was devastated to learn that his brother was one of the Nazi war criminals Adam had drowned. Although it was revealed that Andrej Zelenka was indeed a crook, it can be surmised he still loved his brother unconditionally.
