I had a thought occur to me the other day. The last Stirling Singles retired in 1916... I think it's easy enough to say Emily could've arrived on the island during WW1. The fun part is who she has to work with though. The Island Of Sodor book says the NWR borrowed primarily from two mainland railways.

The Furness, and the Midland.

The Whoops! All double headers! Railway. (Slight exaggeration)

I'm sure Emily "My creator will come to my shed and beat me with hammers if I ever accept help" Stirling would take this very well, (/sar) don't you think?

You're cooking 👀

I don't usually like early N.W.R. Emily but this angle is too fabulous to be left unexplored.

(I will only add the Furness was also double-heading culture 🔥 Emily would have been purely a fish out of water)

#lmaooo... imagine if she needed help (which i'm sure she would THEY WOULD NEED GOODS ENGINES YOU DON'T *GET* TO BE A PASSENGER-ONLY ENGINE #ON EARLY SODOR LOL)#... and they send thomassssss #it's like a double 💀#💀 squared. even.#chatter #ttte #the railway series #ttte emily #this could also legitimately explain a lot of my usual biggest objection to early n.w.r. emily #which is always 'explain to me how someone with emily's BIG personality #was there the whole time #and just never pinged RWS radar????'#like there's just no way to make it plausible to *my* brain. psychologically. sociologically.#(trust me i've tried)#why would you have an edward's day out when you could have written an emily's day out? i know i like to give the Author shit but.#like. i can't buy that he's that big a coward or whatever. c'mon.#so i've never been able to headcanon her as anything but arriving basically not long before she appears in the show #...but if she was sidelined early on *by her own chariness and aloofness* until she learned to reprogram herself and learn collaboration #well #that could go some way in explaining it #(to ME)
