Glad to be here at last.

This story is a sequel to Thomas and Friends: Christmas Adventures


The long distance adventures of Sunny and her friends are only a part of their activities. They also get up to many smaller scale hi-jinks in Falmouth itself. Join the crew for a new series of journeys, living their lives and doing their best to plan and manage life in the brave new world produced by magic. Safe to say, life is certainly never dull!

This anthology contains a mixture of adaptations of Thomas and Friends episodes, stories from the 4th Chapter of Make your Mark, and original stories, as well as some Tell your Tale adaptations.

Wow! What a way to adapt this story. But it was a good way to do so.

great chapter mate keep it up can't wait for the next chapter yes Percy you did help but by accident you might say:pinkiehappy::twilightsmile:

"Hitch told me to hop to it, so I did!" Izzy said. "Although it seems this table wasn't designed to take the weight of five people standing on it."

Thx captain obvious. :ajbemused:

"Regional postmaster withdrew it to save money!" Fifi replied. "Trying to deliver all this mail on a bike is pretty tough!"

A shame. :fluttershysad:

He switched it on, and it produced a very bright light. Zipp saw it and applied emergency brakes, bringing the train to a halt. "Passengers, sorry for the emergency stop." She got out and walked to the scene, to see a bike on the rails, and... an open box. With a familiar white head poking out of it.

and applied the emergency brakes,*

But the story ends well for Fifi. After learning of the incident with the bike, the postmaster decided that giving Fifi her van back was the best course of action. After all, a van might be more expensive, but at least a moving parcel won't tip it onto the track!

Yep. :twilightsmile:

Perfect story to start off a new year. Happy new year my friend!

Thanks very much! Good to have this setting rolling again.

1. Izzy's literal-mindedness was frequently played for comedy in TYT.

2. It sure is.

3. Corrected.

4. Though it's not every day you end up delivering a white dog, is it?

11788317
Indeed. But I hope Cloudpuff didn't get sick from eating the contents of the package.

Maybe I skipped something, but isn't Misty living with Haven and the sisters now? Did she not come with from Swanage?

11788802
Misty is elsewhere in this particular story, partly due to the fact she is absent in the TYT short this is based on.

This was a nice story. And Zipp’s amazing ingenuity is once again shown off. And not bad use for a Rotary Snow Plow! It may be used for snow, but it makes for a good fan too!

11788956
Once more, glad you enjoyed. Given that in the original story they cleared the smoke using hairdryers, it seemed like a natural and logical progression.

11788962
Well, the snowplow would have much more thrust than a hairdryer would. Even more than leaf blowers maybe.

11788965
Given how easily hairdryers can overload and catch fire, heavier equipment made more sense here. And UK railways are experimenting with using lasers to get rid of leaves now.

11788970
After all, if the leaves are rendered nonexistant, they can't get stuck on other things.

11789002
Indeed. But how do they make sure the lasers won’t burn up the grass, or even flowerbeds? I mean, it does sound like a good idea, but it kinda sounds risky too.

11789003
The laser is only used on the track.

11789054
To deal with leaves from trees Network Rail has started cutting trees down at the lineside.

11789057
Ah. I get it. It's to avoid trains from slipping on them too, right?

awesome chapter mate keep it up cant wait for the next chapter :pinkiehappy::twilightsmile:

11789058
Indeed. Leaves on the line is no joke; wheelslip delays trains and can cause severe damage to traction motors.

"Let's hope my wheels don't slip!" Rebecca said. "I've had trouble with this hill in the past!"

Something tells me you will. :fluttershysad:

"Of course," the figure replied. "That silly Misty just had some food, and of course the machine is set up. These people are in for a nasty shock!" He then pushed a button on a remote, and the street suddenly became enveloped in a wall of fog.

Well, that's gonna mess up everything!!!! :twilightoops:

Hitch looked out. "Looks like the safety valves have gone wonky again," he said. "I thought we had this problem fixed. Now we'll probably be sitting here for a while until help arrives."

At least it wasn't a wheelslip this time. :twilightsheepish:

"I never thought we'd be using it to clear smoke, though," Sunny replied.

Same. :applejackunsure:

"'Ello 'ello 'ello!" said a voice behind him. He turned and saw a policeman. "You're nicked, sunshine."

Busted. :ajsmug:

11789144
1. Keep an eye out.

2. Indeed.

3. Well, we have to keep the variety up.

4. Smokeblower, anyone?

5. At least it isn't Bernie inadvertently criminalising himself.

11789110
Or the cylinders and drive rods on a steamer.

11789499
Precisely. And Light Pacifics were especially vulnerable to it.

Okay, this had to be the most unique way of adapting Horrid Lorries I have ever seen!

I don’t know much on this Project Sentinel, but knowing the psychopaths behind it, it cannot be good.

11789755
I recall when I first watched Top Remodel that I thought the two stories would fit together quite naturally.

11789778
Well, it certainly works. And if you ask me, having the Top Gear cast criticize the lorries in question is extremely satisfying.

11789781
Especially given the famous parody clip where the lorries are used to portray the trio in the Sports Lorry segment:

11789784
It's also satisfying given the number of lorries they've wrecked.

awesome chapter mate keep it up cant wait for the next chapter moral is all talk and no action :pinkiehappy::twilightsmile:

"Yes, a lorry," the foreman replied. "They have four wheels and drive freight around. I'm surprised neither of you are familiar with the concept."

It's obvious where this is going. :unsuresweetie:

"There'd be no need for trucks if they simply embraced lorry transport around here," said another lorry. "Free the roads!"

And here I thought only Bulgy said that. :ajbemused:

"That's my plan," Pipp smiled. "We renovate the interior and turn it into a locomotive, carriage, and wagon workshop! We've rather outgrown the old shed, so we can do overhauls and similar in here and active locomotives can stay in the shed!"

That's a brilliant idea!!!!! :pinkiehappy:

As he and Pipp set off for the engine shed, neither of them spotted somebody watching them.

Looks like Boomer escaped jail! :raritydespair:

But now the crystals are back together, and you must be on your guard. You must protect the [STATIC] from [STATIC], or else the-"

"But now*

"No. Not yet. Before then I have a very specific mission for you. Remember; Project SENTINEL cannot fail."

Oh? :rainbowhuh:

But when Bellerophon arrived at the freight yard, he saw another lorry being loaded with things. "You're too slow!" the lorry laughed as he drove off. "It's safer by road!

by road!"*

"RATS?!" Sophie exclaimed. "You didn't tell me there was a group of Class 25s in here!"

What? :applejackconfused:

The driver of the lorry was unhurt. But he was dazed. "Rotton roads," he grumbled.

You were mostly to blame for it, may I remind you. :duck:

11789920
1. Indeed.

2. The line fitted the theme, I thought. Of course, karma will bitte them in the tailpipe-like Bulgy.

3. Indeed.

4. The guy arrested in the previous chapter wasn't Boomer.

5. Corrected.

6. More on that later.

7. Also corrected.

8. Rat is the nickname for the British Railways Class 25, which was the most numerous class of diesel at 327 built. As a result, they got everywhere-like rats do.

9. Indeed. Lazy driving.

11790013
And now these three villains are out of the way.

11790087
Aye. If they stuck around longer, they would've likely tried stealing all the engines' work.

11790218
No. But. at the same time, they’d be wasting their time, since the roads in Falmouth were said to foul up here and there.
