Brendam

**Brendam** is a seaside town located at the extreme south of the western shore of Suddery Bay with a population of 4,500 and is home to Brendam Docks. It is the top station for Edward's Branch Line and an important harbour for the export of China Clay.

## History

The "white mountains" visible some two to three miles to the northwest of Brendam are spoil heaps of quartz and sand from the china clay pits. The clay is used in making porcelain, paper, paint, plastics, medicines and cosmetics. It is shipped from Brendam all over the world.

The village had grown up around the mouth of a small river. St. Brendan's Church (the only church on the island dedicated to the 6th century missionary), though small, has a conspicuous 15th century tower standing slightly apart from the main building. It was erected as a landmark to guide boats along the only safe channel by which to enter the harbour.

Now the pattern of life has changed. Fishing has declined and the majority of the (now) 4,500 inhabitants are employed in one way or another by the Sodor China Clay Company. The clay beds were discovered in 1948 and the Company was formed to work them. A new harbour, capable of accommodating ocean-going vessels, was built some one and a half miles south of the old one and a private railway laid down to link the Workings with the harbour and the North Western Railway. This line is worked by the Clay Company's own locomotives, Bill and Ben, Timothy and Marion.

There has naturally been considerable housing development, not only round the harbour area, but also on the hillside above the old village. Great care has been taken to ensure that the new buildings shall harmonise with the old. The Clay Company and their architects have succeeded admirably in this. Much more difficult has been the establishment of a harmonious relationship between the two communities - "the Villagers and the Clayboys", the old inhabitants and the new; but now after over fifty years there are welcome signs that the two communities are at last fusing into one. There has been a Girl's School in the hills above Brendam since 1873.

Whilst working with them, Max and Monty came by, causing trouble as usual but Jack stood up to them. Alfie, Isobella and Jasmine helped to make Jack feel better after Jack's accident. When the Pack were called in to demolish the old TK&ELR sheds, which were deemed unsafe, Max and Monty teased Alfie for his small size. Matters weren't helped when Ned accidentally upset him. Then, just as Oliver was about to knock down the building, Alfie heard something and stopped him. It was then discovered that a cat and her kittens were inside the sheds. Alfie volunteered to go in due to his small size and when the upper walls started to crumble, Alfie quickly covered the four cats with his scoop. The debris bounced off the scoop down onto the ground. Alfie then bought the four cats out and then Kareen arrived on Starlight, chasing another cat named Snowball. It was then that the mother cat nudged Snowball (who was the kittens' father) and once the mother cat and the kittens were given proper treatment, and the four cats were sent out to loving homes. One of the kittens was adopted by Mr. Packard, who named him Alfie in honour of the green excavator. Ned then apologised to Alfie, who in turn, apologised for snapping at him.

That evening, Bertie and Algy insisted that Thomas was really useful but Bertrand wasn't having it. The next day, in the afternoon, Bertrand was on his way to take the children home from school but he was so preoccupied by last night's conversation that he failed to realise that danger lay ahead. There was a building site on the way to the school, and one of the construction workers was carrying nails to it. Unfortunately, he tripped on a rock and dropped the box, spilling some of them on the road. Just as he was about to pick the nails up, he heard Bertrand's horn and one of his tyres hit one of the nails and burst on the road. Luckily, Thomas was able to rescue the children and take them.

Arlesburgh Harbour

**Arlesburgh Harbour** is a large harbour in Arlesburgh, which is served by the North Western Railway, via the Little Western.

## History

Arlesburgh is an ancient port, and is a deep water harbour formed by the same geological rift as Douglas on the Isle of Man. The port enjoyed a period of peak prosperity between 1880 and 1930, when it was a recognised calling place for the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company's steamers from Douglas and Ramsey and exported produce from mines in the Arlesdale Valley. The Mid Sodor Railway had a station here, and it became the port for Peel Godred.

The steamer service ended when the Mid Sodor closed its passenger service, and when the last mine in the valley closed, the port fell into sad decay. However, Arlesburgh Harbour had an revival when the North Western Railway decided to use the port as a supplement to Tidmouth and Knapford. They relaid the harbour extension and built new jetties.

The line running through the harbour was extended to run up to Harwick. After Thomas discovered a pirate ship in a cavern, the ship was restored and taken to Arlesburgh Harbour, where it would be put on display to the public. Thomas also managed to stop Sailor John from escaping with the treasure here, and when the Harwick Branch Line was officially opened, the engines went through the harbour while the treasure was recovered from the bottom of the sea.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Fergus is based on the Aveling and Porter 2-2-0WT 'TJ' class railway traction engine No. 9449 "The Blue Circle", the last standard gauge traction engine to ever be built. Like Fergus, "The Blue Circle" worked at a cement works, Snodland Cement Works, between 1926 and 1962. It was presented to the Bluebell Railway in April of 1964, but was deemed "too slow" and loaned to a group at Quainton Road in 1997. In 2001 it was officially sold to them, and then later in 2005 to the Chinnor Princes and Risborough Railway. In 2007, it was sold to the Battlefield Line at Shackerston.

Arlesdale

**Arlesdale** is the district and village which contains the Arle Valley. Arlesdale Station serves as the terminus of the Arlesdale Railway, and was formerly a station on the now-closed Mid Sodor Railway.

## History

On leaving Arlesdale Green the line passes through another short belt of woodland, and alongside an unfenced lane which leads to cottages built by the Mid Sodor Railway for employees. There was a junction here during the days of the Mid Sodor. A spur turned southeast to a mine situated in the valley linking Arlesdale with Ulfstead. The main line to Cas-ny-Hawin and Peel Godred continued eastward to a station sited at the north end of the village street. This involved a sharpish climb for half a mile.

There have been two stations at Arlesdale. The first was located at the northern end of town and was serviced by the Mid Sodor Railway from 1874 until the line closed down in 1947. This station was where the main engine and carriage sheds were located. The Arlesdale Railway had planned to use the old station, but its dilapidated state after 20 years of neglect was such that they found it cheaper to build another on a new site. The mine spur was the obvious choice; it passed close to the village and was easily accessible.

The present station, in 2005, had two roads leading to a turntable, and there was only one platform and a green-painted timber shed for the Booking Office and Refreshment Room. This still remains, but another platform was soon added, together with a third road to the turntable, so that engines could run around even if two trains were in occupation.

The mine spur has been slightly diverted, swinging away at the station throat behind the wall on the right of some illustrations. Having crossed the road it regains the old alignment through the fields on its way to the abandoned mine whose spoil heaps are of much interest to the Ballast Consortium.

The railway station is named Arlesdale, but the adjacent hamlet is The Garth, being only one of the several settlements in the Arlesdale district. The Green has become a residential area, but The Garth is still the place where housewives go when there is serious shopping to be done. The Garth has two hotels - 'The Duke', owned by the son of a former Mid Sodor engine driver and is a "mecca" for railway enthusiasts, and the 'Drixon Arms', which caters to those with other interests.

Outlying farms have intriguing names such as Crinkle Howe, Gummers Ghyll, and Biskey Barrow. These and many others are pleasant objectives for an afternoon’s ramble. Their Farmhouse Teas are famous, and must be tasted to be believed.

Arlesburgh West

**Arlesburgh West**, also known as **Arlesburgh Junction**, is a seaside station on Sodor's west coast based on both sides of the River Arle Estuary. The station is served by both the North Western and Arlesdale railways and is the exchange station for both railways.

## History

The North Western Railway originally interchanged with the Mid Sodor Railway at Arlesburgh Harbour, and after the latter was abandoned, roadworks and urban development in the town virtually erased the former narrow-gauge mainline between Arlesburgh Bridge Street Station and the harbour.

When the Arlesdale Railway was being built along the MSR's old trackbed, a deviation had to be made from the old Bridge Street station along the outskirts of the town towards the NWR's line to the harbour, and an interchange point between the standard-gauge and the miniature gauge at Arlesburgh West. Passenger connection between the two railways was provided for by a foot-bridge, and the NWR laid in a standard gauge spur to the Transfer Gantry.

The Arlesdale Railway also has their own steam engine shed, diesel engine shed, carriage shed, turntable and yard at the station. A ballast chute is used for depositing ballast from the Arlesdale's hopper wagons into the NWR's waiting standard gauge trucks. It had a single platform on the south at first, but it has been supplemented by another on the north side of the station. A wall behind its whole length was erected together with a platform canopy giving much needed shelter in blustery weather. There is also a cabin that not only houses the point and signal levers controlling all movements in the station area, but is also used for traffic control and holds the radio transceiver apparatus necessary for this purpose.

Sir Topham Hatt had decided to extend to the North Western Railway to Harwick with a branch line starting at Arlesburgh West. Ryan was assigned to look after the goods traffic, whilst Daisy took care of the passengers.

## Backstory

Before coming to Sodor, Lorry 2 was involved in a terrible accident which saw his first driver, Alex, being killed. Lorry 2 was originally loaned to the North Western Railway to help with an increased workload, along with Lorry 1, Lorry 3 and Lorry 4. Lorry 2 was apologetic about Horace's horrid attitude (Horace being the name Bertie gave Lorry 1) and he opened up about his past to Terence, who asked if he would like  to be called "Alex" after his late driver. The lorry liked the idea and he has been called Alex ever since. After Horace was sent packing, Alex, David and Jasmine (as Lorries 3 and 4 were now called) joined the Pack and have remained there ever since.

## Relationships

### David

Though Alex can be initiated by David's bluntness sometimes, he does have his brother's back.

### Jasmine

Jasmine is always willing to let Alex open up about his feelings, and is the sibling that Alex gravitates toward the most.

### Poppy

### Horace

Alex was the most prone to being bullied by his oldest brother. He is very apologetic for Horace's attitude in regards to him bullying the engines.

### Terence

After Alex told Terence the story of his driver, Terence suggests that he could be named "Alex" after his driver. Alex liked the idea.

## Personality

After his accident, Alex became nervous and stammers a lot. Despite this, Alex is a friendly sort of lorry, and will be brave if he has to be.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Alex is painted yellow. His registration plates are black with the registration number "LOR 2" painted in white.

## Differences between the TV show and the series

* In the original show Lorry 2 was as horrid as Lorry 1 and Lorry 3 and was sent away after falling off the cliffside. In this show, Alex is much nicer and anxious due to his previous accident (which was based on the accident from the original show) and Alex would join the Pack.
* In the original show, Lorry 2 was painted brownish red like Lorry 1 and Lorry 3. Here, Alex is painted yellow just like Lorry 2 was in a board game.

## Trivia

* Alex is based on Lorry 2 from the original TV series.
