The World Famous Engine by Weirdo_with_A_Quill

Summary
To All The Incredible People Who Have Supported Me,
Can you believe that this is the fiftieth book in the ERS? It feels like just yesterday when I was first writing ‘Mavis the Vociferous Engine’ and wondering if it would ever gain any traction - and now here I am, fifty fics later and still going strong, with some of the most incredible friends and readers that an author could ask for. I am so thankful to each and every one of you. This story is for each and every one of you:In 2004, the Island of Sodor was rocked with some absolutely terrible news: the world famous Flying Scotsman was going up for sale, as his owner went bankrupt and foreign entrepreneurs eyed up the iconic engine. With his brother’s future uncertain, Gordon asked the Fat Controller if he could do something to ensure that Flying Scotsman remained in the UK - and the Fat Controller certainly did that, and so much more…

Summary
Out on the line at night, the engines are being haunted by a scrap engine. It creaks as it moves, it's face is a smokebox door, and it appears all around the line. No one on Sodor knows who it is. But the answer lies with a visitor who's connected to the ghost ever since she was first built.

Barry the Rescue Engine by Weirdo_with_A_Quill
Fandoms: The Railway Series - W. Awdry, Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends

Summary
To all the Amazing People who have made this series possible,
I can't believe I've made it to 42 books. It feels almost insane - I started this series way back in 2021 with 'Mavis the Vociferous Engine', and now I'm here. It's absolutely incredible how much support you all give me, and how much I have changed as a writer since the start. And to Alan Palgut, who guessed that I was writing this book way back when I was writing 'Dockside Diesel Salty Again', well - I guess I did get around to it after all! As a celebration of this milestone, I think it’s about time I tackled the ‘big one’ - Barry, the Rescue Engine. Barry is a British Railway Standard 2MT rescued from Barry scrapyard in Wales. He recently came to Sodor to finally get the overhaul and new lease on life he’s sorely wished for, but it didn’t come without its complications…

Wayward Radial Tank [OLD VERSION] by Fuckyolawndotcom
Fandoms: Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends
10 May 2023
Tags
Summary
So, do you know who Adam is? Well, he's a radial tank that was built for the Wellsworth and Suddery Railway, who is used in a bunch of other fan-works, like Stories of Sodor and other things like that (go watch that series if you haven't it's pretty awesomesauce [also the reason why I'm not putting Adam, Lily and Colin as OCs]).
I wrote this two years ago because I basically said "I'm tired of Adam dying in literally everyone's headcanon so I'll make one where he's still alive myself! Nyeeeghg". Just as a warning, there's a lot of swearing in this one, and it's looooong. Like, 25 pages long in Google Docs.
I'll probably rewrite this at some point, if I can actually find half an ounce of motivation.
Which means I'll do that like next year or something -

Dear Multiple_Fandom_Writer,
I must thank you. Your comment got me thinking, and after taking a short walk I came up with these four stories. It is an honour and a pleasure to gift this fic to you. As for Salty, well - he’s been as exuberant as ever, always working with a smile even if he makes a mistake. And with the new container terminal being built at the Big Harbour, he’ll be busier than ever!

Shunting Engines by Weirdo_with_A_Quill
Fandoms: The Railway Series - W. Awdry, Thomas the Tank Engine - All Media Types, Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends
02 May 2022
Tags
Summary
Dear Friends,
Shunting engines are very important to a railway: they work tirelessly to put together trains and keep the busy yards moving. There are four dedicated shunting engines on the Fat Controller’s Railway; these are Bert, Diesel, Salty and now Neil. All four are very proud of their work, but sometimes they disagree on how to shunt trains ‘properly’. When this happens, arguments can occur, as can accidents…

Molly the Overlooked Engine by Weirdo_with_A_Quill
Fandoms: The Railway Series - W. Awdry, Thomas the Tank Engine - All Media Types, Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends
13 Mar 2022
Tags
Summary
Dear Friends,
Molly, in the Television series at least, was depicted as a boring, bland character with little to be talked about. The real Molly couldn’t be further from that. She’s lost so much, and so many. And what could have been her saving grace left her forgotten deep within a dark, damp tunnel somewhere in the North East. These are her stories – and the stories of how she came to no longer be forgotten and overlooked,

Neil the Boxy Little Engine by Weirdo_with_A_Quill for Paleopotato
Fandoms: The Railway Series - W. Awdry, Thomas the Tank Engine - All Media Types, Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends
27 Feb 2022
Tags
Summary
Dear Paleopotato,
There is not much I can say that 'you are an incredible friend' doesn't encompass. You've influenced my writing more than you can imagine, and I am proud and thankful to call you my friend. This is for you, it's the least I could do: here is a story all of your own. Not much is known about Neil, the ‘ugly but kind’ box-tank engine that collected Skarloey from the port and delivered him to his new railway. This is mostly due to the issues the Sodor and Mainland Railway had – much of which will be talked about in this story – and also because at the end of his career, Neil just… vanished. We do not know where he is, what happened to him, anything! However, what we do know makes for a wonderful tale…
