Chapters (7)
Welp, looks like things are not gonna go well with Posey operating Salty for a while.
That last one is quite sad and rude imo.
Indeed.
Saw it coming a mile away.
Unless it's a mixed train of both freight and passenger, they were common in North America in the steam era.
Salty ain't gonna like that!
I think the narrator just broke the fourth wall by mentioning the set shook?
Indeed.

1. You said it.
2. Not everybody likes children, as you probably guessed. It's entirely Posey's choice if she has any, but at the same time her jerkass tendancies towards kids don't really endear her to others.
3. Yep.
4. To those not in the know, railways can be strange and labrynthian.
5. Mixed trains were rare in the United Kingdom, as most freight stock was unfitted. This would have made configuring the brake pipes a nightmare. However, they were a regular sight on the Ffestiniog Railway from about 1870 until the line's closure in 1946.
6. Nope.
7. Indeed he did.
8. Yup.
great start mate keep it up cant wait for the next chapter

You won't have to wait too long. Hopefully I'll be less tardy with the next upload.
Wow. This story was not what I expected at all. By the title,I thought it was gonna be a loose adaptation to Toby's Seaside Holiday, but instead we got an adaptation of Heroes.
Posey may be complaining now,but she might change her mind give or take.
11602250
Here's hoping. Though the conditions were a bit tougher for her than for many others.
11602583
I would think so.
11602627
Well said. I don't have the condition myself, but asthma ain't fun.

New chapter, BTW.
Lol you mentioned the ear reference!!!
(inside were several*
Welp, this ain't good!
11602841
1. It's one of the most well-known memes relating to Chapter 2 of MYM. I haven't watched Chapter 4 yet, so have no clue if the error was fixed in later episodes.
2. I don't quite follow.
3. Nope.
4. Bad puns approaching.
11602850
1. Me neither but I will soon.
2. Crap, I guess I read it wrong and thought it was a mistake.
11602634
Indeed, Buster's Breathless from Arthur is a perfect example of this.
Nice combination of 2 stories, it definitely fixes Thomas and the Tuby.
11602866
1. Good.
2. Oh well.
11602870
Very true.
11602876
Season 8 has its down moments, but I'd still rather watch it over Dark Ages era content.
11602879
Aye. And when you rewrite a few things, they can be good episodes.
11602887
That is very true. Then again, they were frequently constrained by an educational mandate.
11602960
Aye.
11602987
That can be annoying. Brenner, however, was able to tie it into the plot. Case in point; Duck and the Slip Coaches.
cool chapter mate keep it up
nice chapter mate keep it up cant wait for the next chapter
I can instantly tell the beginning of this chapter's dialogue is a copy of the one from my favorite Thomas Season 5 episode Thomas, Percy and Old Slow Coach. Despite it's a tad bit different I could easily tell.
*cough cough* Thomas and Percy have.
How sad.
Seems to me Posey doesn't give a damn in helping save Old Slow Coach.
Uh no!
That can't be good!!!
Well, at least the fire is out.
An excellent idea Rocky!
Thank you so much my friend!
11603064
Aye.
Wow! Amazing job here.
I even am glad you took put the leaking fuel tanker bit. Cause in my personal opinion, I found it odd that no one realized that tanker had a leak in it.
11603535
Never a problem.
11603561
You won't have to wait very long. I was out all of yesterday.
11603669
1. I imagined you'd appreciate it.
2. Well spotted. It later became quite funny when the subsequent Thomas writers started making fun of this sort of nonsense.
3. Sadly the fate of many vintage coaches across Britain.
4. Posey's mindset is built around following rules and instructions exactly as written with no sense of interpretation (this is how she got the yard so badly muddled in Salty's Seaside Trip).
5. Indeed not.
6. Likewise, indeed not. Lineside fires are no joke, and it's very much the time of year there's a high risk of them.
7. And luckily, nobody was hurt.
8. This is derived from one of the Talyllyn's operating ideas. Many of its stations are unstaffed, which means passengers buy a ticket from the guard's van instead.
9. Never a problem. Rest assured the other request you made is coming.
11603718
Must adapt that one some day...

I suppose it depends on what's being transported and under what pressure. A good example of this is the Ladbroke Grove crash, which saw (amongst other things) a diesel fuel fire. This confused inspectors, as normally diesel fuel has a relatively high boiling point. Subsequent investigations revealed that the fuel tank of on of the trains had detached in the crash and had split open on impact, vapourising the fuel inside (which ignited on contact with overhead power lines).
11604248
Ah yes, I know the crash you mean. Seconds from Disaster covered that wreak too.
11604247
That would make for a good chapter.
11604255
1. Indeed.
2. I'll put it on the list.
great chapter mate keep it up cant wait for the next chapter
11604358
Glad you enjoyed. POWAAAAAAAH!
Rocky, you're a real simpleton.
They'll get used to it eventually.
Oh boy!
11604393
He's not the sharpest tool in the shed. Then again, the Top Gear presenters made similar lapses in logic; Jeremy built a ridiculously tall caravan which was top heavy and swayed with the slightest breeze, James constructed a sailboat but forgot to waterproof the engine bay, and Richard mounted a whinch to the bodywork of a Austin Mini Cooper which came flying off with the slightest application of force.
11604457
1. They'll need to. After all, things change slowly.
2. Didn't think this through, did they?
3. At least they didn't have to worry about MOTs.
11604459
MOTs?
11604458
I remember the caravan bit and the boat.
Honestly, I sometimes wonder if they don't use logic on purpose.
11604483
A Ministry of Transport test is one that all cars must receive every year to be declared road worthy.
11604488
It would certainly be consistent with the tone of the show. According to the book And on that Bombshell..., the production team often selected cars that had strange faults or odd quirks but did not disclose them to the presenters to maximise hilarity.
11604501
Got it.
11604510
No problem. I'm always happy to explain UK things.
11604506
Oh, that's swell.
11604562
It sure is.
11604585
But then again, the Mythbusters do cool things with many cars too so I shouldn't be too surprised.
11604731
Indeed they do.
awesome chapter mate keep it up cant wait for the chapter
