From a distance, an old engine watched as Spamcan headed closer and closer to the sunken tracks. 'Quick, driver!' He called. 'Find a winch and attach it to my front! We must help that diesel!' #TheDieselisationSeries

#Sodorgust #Sodorgust2025 Day 5 - Overworked I sorta cheated, using four pictures and all. Check the replies if you want the context!

#Sodorgust Day 5 - Overworked Brendam’s rise in shipping took the engines by surprise, they hadn’t been prepared for the extra work.

#Sodorgust 2 Day 5: Overworked It had been another busy day for the Pack, and Thomas had just dropped Jack off back at the yards. The young front loader had been feeling tired and overworked, but some praise from the motherly-figure, Miss Jenny, cheered him right up.

Day 5: Overworked “Douglas was finding the new shunter to be… difficult to put it nicely.” #Sodorgust

5. Overworked. "What on earth is going on here? It's your first day, and you already seem like you're overworked!" "*sighs*, you don't know the half of it sir..." #Sodorgust

#Sodorgust Day 5 - Overworked "You're right, Thomas." said Edward one day "Even with the other engines helping us, there is still too much work for us." "But what can we do about it?" asked Thomas "Well we can talk to the Fat Director about it." replied Edward "Maybe he'll get another engine."

#Sodorgust Day 5 - Overworked Back in the early days of the Skarloey Railway, Duncan was overworked with non-stop trains. Freight here, passengers there, even a couple of mixed-trains too! He would look so dirty as a result with not one ounce of a single break, making him very cross.

Sodorgust Day 4 - Rescue The wind howled and the rain pelted down. But no matter the stakes, Barry struggled on through the storm, finding his courage with each turn of his wheels. “Trains must get through,” he panted, “come rain or shine!” #Sodorgust

#Sodorgust Day 5 - Overworked "Soon the three began to feel tired. They struggled valiantly up Gordon's hill, but the strain was beginning to tell." #ThomasAndFriends #TTTE #Trainz

#Sodorgust Day 5 - Overworked '12pm on the 5th of August, 2025. The Skarloey Railway's number six "Duncan" has been doing job after job since 4am. The locomotive could use some help from a pair of visiting engines resting in their sidings, but they seem quite comfortable...'

#Sodorgust Day 4 - Rescue Percy quickly heaved with all his might as rain pelted his boiler, it was now tug of war between him and angry sea that threatened to take ship and he couldn’t fail to rescue the sailors.

#Sodorgust Day 4 - Rescue Early 1952 - Near the outskirts of Crosby, here we see NWR #2 'Edward' chasing down NWR #5 'James' who is a runaway.

#Sodorgust 2 Day 4: Rescue "Together, Percy, Belle and Flynn roared and raced."

#Sodorgust Day 2: Freight Henry and Murdoch are struggling with their long train

#Sodorgust Day 1: Afternoon Edward's enjoying his afternoon run up his branchline

I guess the real drip was the friendships we saved along the way, or something. #Sodorgust #Sodorgust2025 Day 4 - Rescue

Day 4: Rescue “Thomas pushed the breakdown train alongside, then he pulled the unhurt trucks out of the way.” #Sodorgust

#Sodorgust Day 4 - Rescue "Aha!" said the Foreman "A 'Western' engine! and a brakevan too! You can't take these." "Can we no!" said Douglas' Driver "They're all fer uz. See fer yeself." Douglas' Guard showed him the papers "Seems in order, " said the Foreman grudgingly "Right away, Guard."

4. Rescue "To hell with those trucks! And their tricks! I just hope James hasn't gotten hurt..." "Thomas puffed frantically to rescue James." #Sodorgust

#Sodorgust Day 4 - Rescue The Duke and Duchess of Boxford had bought a locomotive called Carnaby, he has been on static display in an abandoned halt for a while. Now rescued, Carnaby is tearing with joy. Spencer had gone alone to collect him, making a right from what happened with him and Hiro.

#Sodorgust Day 4 - Rescue '2:45pm on the 4th of August, 1967. A super rescue by the enterprising engine that is the NWR's number three "Henry"! In this restored photograph, you can see him pushing BR 7101's passenger train, and pulling BR 199's goods train! A remarkable feat!'

#sodorgust Day 3 - Siblings Skarloey & Rheneas in their early days, with no cabs (Bucking Bronco, from the RWS book 'Very Old Engines' #thomas #trains #TTTE #thomasandfriends #thomasthetankengine #rws #railwayseries

#Sodorgust 3. Siblings Brothers.

Sodorgust Day 3 - Sibling “You’d like our Bluebell and Primrose. They’re twins, and as like two peas. They were pleased when our Controller gave them names. Some say he was wrong to do it; it certainly made them cocky!” #Sodorgust

Here's a scene from the audio story The Magic Tender Engine. It's a bit of a what-if S2 story, so I tried to edit the photo to give it a "lost episode" vibe. #Sodorgust #Sodorgust2025 Day 3 - Siblings

#Sodorgust Day 3 - Sibling NWR #1 'Thomas' and #100 'Timothy': The older-younger brother duo of Sodor

"I never thought there'd be two of them," murmured Skarloey. "Yes," agreed Duke, "though I suppose it is nice to have some young blood again. ... "Must you young engines always take your time with these things?" Sir Handel groaned. "I'm making sure it fits properly!" snapped Hilda. "IT'S A LAMP."

Day 3: Sibling “Driver tells me that many of my brothers and sisters were preserved” Duck said to Olivia one night. “I guess the Great Western Way will never die” #Sodorgust

#Sodorgust 2 Day 3: Sibling Here we have Gordon and Scotsman wondering if Henry is really their sibling, considering he was built from plans stolen by Sir Nigel Gresley. Needless to say, it was quite the awkward debate.

#Sodorgust Day 3 - Siblings You don’t have to be made from the same metals to be siblings.

3. Siblings "The twins were here to stay. And infact, they were given new additions to their black liveries with proud Scottish colours! Blue lining for Donald, and white lining for Douglas..." #Sodorgust

#Sodorgust Day 3 - Siblings (models by TSI and Engie)

#Sodorgust Day 2 - Freight (Models by Zuri and TSI)

#Sodorgust Day 3 - Sibling. Early the next morning, just before Donald was supposed to leave for Sodor, their drivers and firemen put the plan into action. And even though, Donald and Douglas were excited, they just hoped that everything would go according to plan.

#Sodorgust Day 3 - Sibling Gordon misses his siblings. Deep down, he gets upset when he thinks about his siblings that were scrapped in the past. He does wonder in his dreams what life would be currently for a few of his siblings, if they were still around in the present.

#Sodorgust Day 1 - Afternoon (models by The Sudrian Industries and Ifor Engineering Works)

#Sodorgust Day 3 - Sibling James & Eagle: From bitter rivals to respected equals! #ThomasAndFriends #TTTE #Trainz

#Sodorgust Day 2 - Freight BoCo passing through with a mixed freight train bound for the Mainland.

#Sodorgust Day 3 - Sibling '8:20pm on the 3rd of August, 2025. An accident has occurred further up the line, and the only locomotives available to help are the NWR's number nine and ten, "Donald" and "Douglas", siblings who share a remarkable history that spans a hundred years.'

Sodorgust Day 2 - Freight Murdoch was enjoying his new life on Sodor. The people were friendlier, and the trains were shorter. Most importantly, it was much quieter than the mainland. #Sodorgust

#sodorgust Day 2 - Freight Here's NWR #15 'Peter' hauling a heavy goods train

"SPAMCAN, YOU FOOL, HOW DO YOU LOSE AN ENTIRE GREAT WESTERNER?!?!" Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast Freight train, freight train, goin' so fast I don't know what train she's on Won't you tell me where she's gone?
