The Bournemouth Belle, and The Last Shunter.

More OCs! SteamNav and Missus are rather new so some info might be subject to change, and they were AU versions of certain characters (3 points if you guess who) buuut they spiralled into new characters. SteamNav is tranquil fury incarnate, trying to take control of his life after so long being something humans have tinkered with and throwing herself into making Incredibly Bad Descisions; and Missus can and will judge your (engine) sins, but she keeps losing at poker and that's why Sodor is so damn haunted. If anyone has any more questions or just want to help me brainstorm send me an ask and I'll answer :]

i have just realized that Dracula was published in the UK exactly one year after Edward was built and my brain is absolutely frozen/quivering with the massive potential of this knowledge

i did try looking into things via BR Database but i couldnt find any depot or anything that overlapped between 249 Squadron and Lord Beaverbrook (tho they were scrapped the same year in different months 249 squadron being june 1964 and lord beaverbrook september 1964 with lord beaverbrook being scrapped in march of 1965 at Birds, Bynea while 249 squadron was towed to barrys).

can anyone verify if steamlocomotive.info is legitimate or not because if it is.

249 SQUADRON IS NOT ACTUALLY 249 SQUADRON??? IT'S ACTUALLY ITS CLASSMATE LORD BEAVERBROOK????

For context: apparently the owner, john bunch, found parts with lord beaverbrook's number (no. 34054 or SR no. 21c154) in "249 squadron" in inspection and its unknown how 249 squadron's name and number got there??? And its real identity's not gonna be authenticated soon??? WHAT????

EDIT: Other websites mentioning 249 squadron doesnt mention the swap woth lord beaverbrook and i couldnt find a source about the claim by Russel Newman from steamlocomotive.info so take this with a grain of salt. Wild if true, however.

I often wonder about the crews of the rws/ttte universe and what they're like and how they handle the shit their engines pull especially in specials where like. Really insane things happen.

For instance. Does Frankie and Hurricane kidnapping Thomas also count as them kidnapping his crew. can the fat controller sue the steelworks and its employees for trapping his employees as well as his engines. Many such cases.

Not pictured: The Fireman, Micheal Moraghan.

Anyway, Rushton! I know the W&SR only had four 0-6-0 tank engines but I bent canon a little to make him work (who says that they didn't have OTHER engines who helped them out that didn't make it...?)

Thomas and Edward never met him, but they WERE told of him...

more about him under the cut, though some of it might be subject to change

Rushton was built in October 1871 along another of his class MR no. 67, and he was bought by the W&SR to keep up with increasing passenger demand in 1904. His train, the "The Coastal Express", was to be an express passenger train that ran from its terminus station of Crosby to Brendam, as the railway planned to extend their line there (before abandoning the project in 1909 and moving to Tidmouth in 1912).

The fact that he's a tender engine and an express passenger engine very much got to his smokebox, as he began treating everyone and everything beneath him and developed a cold attitude- goods trains, maintenence, the tank engines, the passengers (though, in all fairness, he didn't outwardly show this and was polite to them), his own crew...

Which, for Micheal. with his short temper, did not go well. Rushton and Micheal got into arguments and Alec, who tried to play mediator between the two, got into the crossfire often. Unfortunately, the two were the only ones willing to put up with Rushton's attitude and were the ones who were semi successful in reining him in when he bullied the tank engines or when he went too fast. so he was stuck with them and they with him.

In 1909, before the closing of the Brendam Port project, Rushton was his usual self- snobbish, cold, and hard to work with. As per usual, his crew was Alec and Micheal.

Perhaps it was the weather, perhaps it was the fact that it was night and things were less visible, perhaps it was Rushton going way too fast to finish this train already so he could go back and sleep, perhaps it was Micheal arguing with Rushton and telling him to suck it up, or perhaps it was Alec not paying attention to the water levels or the tracks as he tried to tell them both to knock it off...

In any case, there was a very, very nasty accident.

...

The other engines could swear up and down that they could still hear Rushton passing them by. Especially at night. And if you listen closely, maybe you can hear the men on the footplate, trying to tell him to slow down.

(not pictured: a young thomas immediately crying because he didn't know HUMANS CAN DIE FROM RAILWAY ACCIDENTS, wellsworth and suddery no. 3 laughing at thomas- what, he's been coddled enough, let him learn!- and young edward trying to soothe a crying thomas)
