#Iron Arry and Iron Bert

[team-zug]

Ok, everyone meet Iron Standy. Arry and bert adopted little sister.

Jk ok, but I have this idea. I had that Standy from all engines go works at the Smelters yard with Arry and Bert. And this is how I think what she would look like I hope you like this idea.

Traintober 2023: Day 28 - Which Way Now?

Lost in the Fog:

The Island of Sodor was hosting a visitor from the Other Railway. The visitor was a large, impressive tank engine who was helping out on Thomas’ branchline.

“I do love getting to pull trucks again,” the engine said cheerfully to Percy. “We don’t to pull trucks on my heritage railway.” “They might be fun, but you do have to be careful,” warned Percy. “Some trucks can be troublesome.” The engine chuckled. “Don’t worry about me, Percy – I’ll be fine!” Percy was doubtful. And yet, to his amazement, the visitor managed the trucks well. The trucks came along quietly, distracted from misbehaving by the songs the engine sang to them.

The visitor really did brighten up the yard every time they passed through. “Did you need a hand?” he offered to Toby as the old tram struggled with a long line of empty ballast trucks heading back for the Little Western. “That would be great,” grinned Toby. “Thank you.” With the visitor’s help, they managed the run in half the time it usually took – and better yet, his sing-a-longs kept the trucks from acting up.

“You really have a knack with the trucks,” mused Duck, watching in amazement as the big engine shunted them into their proper places. “I’m impressed.” “Thank you!” the visitor said. “That’s too kind!”

The visitor grew to be popular amongst all the engines. The speed and dedication they brought to every train won over even the gruffest of trucks and engines alike – not even James could think of a bad word!

Everyone was sad when it came time for the visiting engine to return back to their heritage railway. “Safe travels!” called Percy. “Don’t get lost!” warned Oliver. “Lost?” quizzed the engine. “That isn’t likely, is it?” “Well… no – but sometimes the signalman near Killdane nods off. Make sure you whistle to alert him to your presence.” The engine smiled. “Thanks for the advice, I’ll keep it in mind!” And with that, the engine set off into the setting sun.

Things went well at first – but then night fell. With it came the mist. The mist rose up out of every crevice, seemingly rising up out of the ground itself, swirling around and blanketing everything it touched in an impenetrable wall of grey.

The visitor peered into the darkness, trying to see which town they were passing through. The station signs were obscured – several station lamps flickered and died and a chill danced in the air, winding around the visitor and doing its best to freeze their boiler into ice. The visitor still battled onwards.

“We can’t stop here…” they said, narrowing their eyes to try and spot a familiar shape. “It’s the middle of the mainline. No trains can stop here.” “Then which way now?” asked the engine’s driver. The answer lay just up ahead, where a signal light shone green, piercing sharply through the mist to illuminate the world around it.

“Someone must be expecting us,” hummed the driver. “That’s good!” A station platform appeared on the engine’s left, and they slowed to a stop, waiting for some sort of instructions on where to go. The driver and fireman looked back, and then the driver groaned.

“That stupid signalman! Come on, you need to go remind him that he needs to drop the signal back to red.” “And you?” “I’ll go find us some hot coffee in the station house. This seems like a big station – there’s got to be someone around.” The two left their engine sizzling nicely under the station canopy, heading off to complete their respective tasks.

Normally, this would have been fine – and had the engine been anywhere else, this would have been a routine stop. But the name of the station illuminated by a flickering station lamp was Killdane. “Um… shouldn’t we whistle?” asked the engine. But his crew had already left.

The engine’s eyes darted around. Something felt off about this station. It wasn’t the electric wires running above the tracks, nor was it the eerily still lines of coaches and trucks in the sidings. No, there was something else. Maybe… the second set of points that felt like they shouldn’t be there?

“Oh, why hello there,” grinned a deep, almost gravelly voice from behind the engine. “Um… hello?” The visitor had never heard that voice before. There was no face to put to the sound – this voice was completely new, and it scared them slightly. “What’re you doing on our line?” “I’m waiting to continue on,” the engine replied firmly. “We’ll take you,” the voice replied. Before the engine could question that, they were buffered roughly from behind. There was the deep, almost howling honk of a diesel horn, and the engine was suddenly being shoved forwards, out of the station.

“Hey! You can’t do this! Stop! Stop! Driver!” The visiting engine’s driver sprinted onto the platform, just in time to see the shape of a long train of scrap leave the platform where their engine had previously stood.

The engine tried to apply their brakes – but they couldn’t. They tried to call out for help – but no one answered.

The diesel pushed the poor engine down a long, overgrown path that led down through a bricked path between rows of town houses. The mist was even thicker down here, engulfing the poor engine and making it almost impossible to see what was ahead.

At least, until the mist began to clear around a large industrial estate, littered with the rusting remains of engines. “Oi! You can’t do this!” shouted the engine. “I’m preserved! Preserved!” “No one will come looking here,” sneered the diesel, shunting the engine into a shed. “Your crew can’t save you now, steam kettle.”

The steam engine sat, cold and alone, in the shed. Ahead of them, a pair of massive sliding steel doors were clamped tightly shut. Suddenly, the engine felt a jolt. The scrap trucks had been shoved behind them.

Two identical diesels in grimy green paintwork with wasp stripes oiled up on either side of the visitor. “This time, there’s no escape,” one sneered. The other just shot the poor visitor an unidentifiable look.

The two rumbled backwards again – and then the engine felt another jolt, and they all began to roll forwards. The giant steel doors groaned open, revealing a room bathed in red. Molten slag bubbled on either side of the track, and a giant claw loomed overhead.

“This engine’s not for scrapping!” begged the engine. “I just want to go home!” The claw didn’t stop its descent, lowering down, down, down…

With a sickening crunch, it ripped into the visitor’s boiler, lifting the engine up into the air, and dragging it over to the molten slag.

“Just another poor soul, gone to meet its maker,” sneered Arry. Bert didn’t reply. He just silently rumbled away, a goal set in his mind.

This time, Arry wouldn’t get away.

The twins were resting in the Smelting Shed when the new engine arrived.

“Oh, look.” Harry grunted, unenthusiastically. “Mr. Goody Two-Screws 'imself.”

“Morning, you two!” Paxton smiled, as he came to a stop before the scrap diesels. “I'm here to help. Where do I start?”

“Ya can start wit’ takin’ empty trucks to the scrap sidin's.” Bert smirked. “Then bring loaded ones to the Smeltin’ Chamber in the back.”

“Okay, I'm on it!” Paxton scurried cheerfully away.

“Don't worry,” Bert grinned at Harry, “runt won't last the afternoon. I bet 'is chippa smile won’t last ten minutes.”

Anyone interested in trying an arry/diesel roleplay?

Or an arry/diesel/bert roleplay?

Diesel and his rough, tough boyfriends. Diesel acting all tough until he ends up getting in trouble and being forced to help Arry and Bert at the ironworks and he finds that he’s pretty inferior to the two in terms of ‘bad boy’ attitude lmao.

And Diesel’s stunned to find that they start flirting with him the longer he works with them, and Diesel really likes the attention despite thinking it’s weird at first lmao

“Grim Messengers of Doom”, or “The Class 13 is a Horrifying Concept to think about in the world of Thomas the Tank Engine.

writing this down because inspiration came to me at the worst of times and i have an assignment due in a few hours.

so according to some merch (mainly just one game) arry and bert have a triplet - this fella right here:

now, i’m thinking about this, and i’m thinking to myself, “Bootlace, there’s got to be something you can do with this information at some point. This is premium storytelling waiting to happen if you go and seize it”.

so, here’s what I’ve got in mind

Early 70s hits Sodor and the Killdane Ironworks is hitting an all-time record level of production. So much so that their aging fleet of Industrial Tank Engines can’t keep on top of it all. So what does management do? Scrap ‘em, of course!

The Industrials are withdrawn and in their place three Gronks arrive from the Other Railway - Harrison (’Arry), Herbert (’Bert) & Hecate (’Cate). The three work fine for a time. Arry’s the Brains of the Trio, and while he’s a great schemer he’s kinda useless without someone else to put his plans in action. Bert’s the Brawns, the silent muscle who does all the dirty work force onto him by their classmates. And Cate is the Beauty of the three, who lures unsuspecting engines through the mists and fog to their grisly demise in the Ironworks. All three are complete and total bastards.

Cate being directly based on StarSearch1927′s take on the Ironworks Triplet, read more about her here for a base of what I’m going off of.

But one day, after a Dead Train arrives from the Other Railway with engines to be smelted down, something goes wrong. Really wrong. An engine tries to make a run for it and wrecks itself, taking out Cate in the process. The Ironworks has been running well for a time, so they’ve got money to repair her, but an experiment being done on the Mainland catches the Manager’s eye.

The British Rail Class 13

So Management procures a Gronk in the process of being withdrawn and hooks it up to Cate to make one of their own. And the results, while horrifying to just about any engine, are great! Cate’s now much stronger and capable of handling the bigger loads of scrap they need to smelt down. It’s a complete success(-ish)! So much so, the Manager’s even considering turning ‘Arry & Bert into one.

And that’s where the line in the sand gets drawn for the two diesels. Because while Cate’s become the absolute power of the Smelters Yard, Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely. The process left her with a fair few bolts loose, and a rather sadistic streak to boot, and what’s worse - that Gronk they hooked up to her? It’s still (barely) alive, and it has no control over itself.

A Note on this. The Class 13 was formed of two Gronks permanently coupled together in a ‘Master & Slave’ Unit, with the ‘Slave’ Unit having its cab removed. Cate’s the Master, and the unfortunate Gronk (let’s call it that as its name) acquired for her is the Slave.

Now it goes without saying that ‘Arry & Bert aren’t exactly keen on the whole thought of “We’re going to join you together permanently and also the process might leave you a bit fucked up.” So much so, the two actually begin conspiring together to sabotage Cate so management doesn’t turn them into something like her.

And so, the day arrives. After overloading his train with scrap, Arry turns it into a runaway through the yards and it careens directly into Cate & Gronk, severing their link. Unfortunately, Cate was the only thing keeping Gronk alive at this point, so severing them had... unforeseen consequences.

The work at the time was enough to where ‘Arry and Bert can manage fine by themselves, so the Manager simply had Cate shunted off into storage, hoping to eventually find time to repair her so that she could either run by herself or with another Slave Unit in time.

time for a massive dump again wheee guess what this one was so big i have to split it into two posts.

Harold is a Kūko with the ability of being capable of increasing her power while in the sky.

Trevor is a recently dead hone onna with the ability of being capable of seeing red strings of fate.

Arry and Bert are twin devils with the ability of being capable of travelling through mirrors. 

Sir Handel is a lesser devil with the ability of being capable of transforming into a falcon. Peter Sam is a succubus with the ability of being capable of refreshing exhausted spirits. Duke is an elder devil with the ability of being capable of sending people into eternal sleep. Bert (Small Railway) is a Hinnagami with the ability of being capable of fulfilling any request. Mike is a Gashadokuro with the ability of being capable of causing sudden poor health. Fergus Duncan is a spirit with the ability of being capable of manipulating fear.

Scenes from 'This is Sodor: The Iron Age'/Calling All Engines humanized: Diesel Gets Defenestrated

The Tidmouth Gazette reports:

CHAOS AT KNAPFORD

Tensions between steam and diesel locomotives are set to escalate from this latest incident from the so called ‘Sodor Airport Conflict’. Main heavy fast goods locomotive, ex-(railway of origin unknown)Stanier Black Five NWR#3 ‘Henry’ was captured on photograph defenestrating ex-BR Class 08 ‘Diesel’ from a station window into a pit of mud after the former engine was humiliated by ex-BR Sodor Ironworks Class 08 shunters ‘Iron ‘Arry’ and ‘Bert’, when they assaulted him and doused him in oil in an earlier incident of violence on our fair Island home…’

"But for a few bruises and a besmirched outfit, he was unharmed'

"This is merely the latest incident of steam-diesel violence which includes; the aforementioned dousing in oil, ex-GNR NWR #7 steam tram "Toby" being hung up by the ankles from a loading ramp by Diesel, ex-LB&SC shunter NWR #1 "Thomas" getting doused in paint by Diesel (the triggering incident of the conflict), 'Arry getting shoved onto gravel by Thomas and ex-L&Y Class 28 NWR #5 "James" being grabbed and thrown under a coal hopper where he was subsequently buried in coal. His outfit was besmirched but he was otherwise unharmed.'

"It is to the shame of the NWR that we on fair Sodor should witness the type of mindless violence plaguing the Mainland in imitation of the conflicts between the youth cults of Mods, Rockers, Teddy Boys and Skinheads, particularly from our naughty engines. It behooves Sir Topham Hatt to quell the violence and restore order before it spreads out of control..."

"The Tidmouth Gazette with the kind permission of the Daily Mirror has printed this invaluable guide to the youth cults from which the engines are patterning their style and dress."

Edit 2: When I get down to like... 60 or something WIPs on here, I'm going to overhaul the list to take them off and put up the new ones. Until then, remember to ask about the WIPs you're most interested in!

Does Act 2 Percy rule over the Dieselworks with an iron fist, or is it more lax? If not, is he at least nice to Sidney?

percy starts off as more quiet but after witnessing several fuckups from splodge and arry and bert, he remembered how nothing ever goes the way he wanted and decided to take a more serious approach. not that it changes anything since d10's minions are now only slightly less incompetent. he tolerates sidney though because at least he brings him coffee

It Takes A Railway AU: The Ghosts

@sekiumiarashi​​ and I have finally named our damn au. Now we tell you about the spooky happenings on Sodor

First of All. How do ghosts work in our au? - Ghosts of engines are formed from strong memories, emotions and gold dust. The engines only exist as avatars, since their bodies are long lost. They retain traits based on how they died. For example, if an engine plunged into the sea and formed a ghost their avatar would always be soaking wet. When they appear they form in a cloud of rusty bronze gold dust. The more a ghost is remembered the stronger presence they have. Now that that’s out of the way lets introduce the spoopy spectres!

Our 4 Ghosts:

Godred: Is the the strongest and self proclaimed leader of the quartet. He died after falling off the mountain. Now he has taken up the duty of the guardian spirit of the mountain and narrow gauge. The only part that wasn’t melted/reused for parts was his whistle so that’s the only thing that the engines can hear. His whistle is in his little memorial alongside his mug and coal offerings. He warns the others of danger on the mountain/rails by whistling. His whistle echoes no matter where it is heard from. His clothes are ripped due to dying from falling off the mountain. He is the only one who remembers his name. Bridge bitch: Fell off a bridge because he went too fast and flew off of the broken track after he ran through a red signal. Now he’s just a really annoying nuisance who just whistles at people. He wants to be forgotten but is so darn angy that he cant help but harass people, thus making him more remembered and unable to fade away. He was supposed to be the guardian of signals but decided “fuck that” and didn’t. Now he just whistles and yells at engines that pass over “his” bridge. He is covered in dirt and dust due to falling into a canyon. One of his favorite targets is Duncan because the narrow gauge will always swear and yell back.

Viaduct: He fell off the viaduct and felt that was a stupid way to die. Not wanting anyone else to meet his fate he guards viaducts and bridges (because bridge guy won’t do it). He is the friendliest of the four and is the most likely to be spotted on the rails. He is constantly soaking wet due to falling into a river, and his whistle sounds like it’s being blown underwater.  Whistle: Ironically the only one who can’t whistle. The scrapper’s engine before ‘Arry and Bert. It was his will that if he got in a fatal accident that his body would be melted down and used to make steam engine parts. His whistle was lost in said accident and so his spirit lingers on in search of his whistle to return to the smelters. While Whistle doesn’t remember how he died, records say it was a boiler explosion. He always has a cloud of steam covering his mouth and he cannot speak. He is very fond of ‘Arry and Bert, viewing them as his juniors even if they are terrified of him.

Okay hear me out what if instead of Diesel 10 being in magic railroad he was an escapee from the mainland after one of the workers threatened to snap pinchy off because pinchy is illegal. Which caused D10 to panic and flee from the mainland and hid on Sodor. He remained hidden for years kinda like Hiro and Glynn but instead of it being Thomas or the main cast it was Diesel.

Diesel finds a weird shape coming from out of a forest and he finds a rusting diesel. Diesel asked the Diesel what happened to him and basically he explains how he got there and why he was there. Which prompts Diesel to go find Den and Dart and bring this Diesel to the Dieselworks.

After many months of the Diesel was being repainted and repaired an inspector came and found the Diesel and immediately ratted out the whole of the Dieselworks to STH. STH went to the Dieselworks to find out if the inspector was lying and low and behold there sat the diesel that was described to him.

STH decided to buy the diesel and gave him the name of Alistair but the diesel decided to tell everyone that his name was diesel 10. Then along came Splodge after they were saved from being scrapped in England. The 3 bonded with each other. One day Bert came in with an old steamie (Lady or I've named her Ivy) Dodge was tasked with scrapping the steamie. Dodge obviously couldn't handle it so he in secret began to restore the steamie and let her go. So Ivy (Lady) roams Sodor trying to find a place to stay where she doesn't get caught by Bert.

Diesel 10 was picking up scrap when Ivy bumped into him. Ivy was absolutely petrified by D10s claw and began to panic. D10 told her that pinchy won't hurt her unless she was to hurt him. Ivy explained her situation and it reminded D10 about what he went through.

So to this day Ivy stays in D10s shed keeping herself away from Bert. Splodge remains at the scrap yard while Arry and Bert stay at the Iron Works. Diesel knows about Ivy along with Dodge and D10 and all 3 swore to protect her. Not because they're simps because they all played a part in the others back story and they knew if they didn't help Ivy they would feel like shit.

Just don't ask I randomly came up with this 🙃also the steamies vs diesels trope doesn't exist in my au lol.
