TTTE/RWS Headcanon: Caroline’s Pen Pal
I don’t have any in-universe justification for my thought processes here. All I can say is that I like the idea of Caroline being a long-term pen pal of a 1920s American car.
The car in question is a Duesenberg Model A named Evanora, who worked for a Hollywood starlet. Evanora accompanied said starlet on a vacation to Sodor. There, she was offloaded from a ship so the actress could drive her favorite car around the Sudrian countryside.
It was on these drives that Evanora and Caroline met. Caroline was initially wary; the starlet’s speedy driving and Evanora’s opulent design soured her first impression. But later, Evanora apologized for the recklessness. She proved to be soft-spoken, genuine, and graceful. This disarmed and even charmed Caroline.
Over several conversations, Caroline liked hearing about Hollywood and its big personalities, and grew to respect Evanora’s patience and adaptability. Evanora in turn enjoyed the perspective of a slower, quieter life. And she appreciated Caroline’s willingness to speak her (opinionated) mind.
When the vacation ended, the two agreed to keep in touch. They sent letters to each other for decades. Caroline told Evanora how she was slowing down, how she came to be the cricket club’s car. Evanora told her about the ever-changing Hollywood and the other actors she drove over the years.
They helped each other out, too. When Caroline needed repairs the cricket club couldn’t afford — even after pooling their funds and taking donations — Evanora’s next letter showed up with a check enclosed.
Caroline, embarrassed, tried to refuse the money. Evanora wouldn’t have it.
( “This may be terribly selfish of me,” she wrote, “but I don’t want to lose my friend. Your cricket club doesn’t want to lose you either. Consider the impact losing you would have on us, darling. Consider accepting the money for our sakes if not your own.
“Also, I can’t take the money back even if I wanted to. My driver signed that check. I wish you the best of luck at reaching him on his indefinite vacation in Alaska, at my recommendation.”)
Touched and humbled, Caroline accepted the check, but not without vowing to one day repay Evanora.
That day came in the 1980s. By then, Evanora’s current driver was too old to drive anymore. And any potential new drivers didn’t want her to be a daily driver anymore; they saw her as a collector’s item to hoard in a sterile garage.
Evanora developed a taste for the quiet life in her correspondence with Caroline, but she wanted to be outside, to move. So she took another page out of Caroline’s book and advocated for herself.
Unfortunately, nobody would listen in Hollywood. She considered the Auburn Cord Duesenburg Museum in Indiana, but she would be on static display, fawned over by hundreds of people. And she was tired of the celebrity lifestyle.
Caroline stayed appraised of all these things through their letters. As it happened, she’d appeared by this point in The Railway Series and Thomas the Tank Engine. These were opportunities she took on with Evanora’s advice and industry knowledge in mind — a small taste of the “fast lane” that she found enjoyable. There were also royalties and paychecks in the hands of her generous, loyal cricket club.
In her next letter to Evanora, Caroline enclosed an ocean liner ticket for Sodor.
Thrilled, Evanora beat back the last aggressive offers from collectors before her voyage across the Atlantic. By the time she arrived, Caroline also set her up with an assisted living home, where older folks going into town could get there in nostalgic comfort and style. It was a slower-paced life in a place where she wasn’t known as a rare car, but would still be appreciated and fulfilled.
(“Are you sure this is what—”
“It’s what she wants. I know it,” Caroline told the cricket player.)
When they reunited, Caroline could’ve fussed about the things that didn’t go right — delayed timetables, muddy roads, etc. — but she didn’t. She only expressed her delight and gratitude at seeing her dear friend again. And Evanora did the same, deciding to take this new phase of friendship and life one wheel-turn at a time.
(Bonus: Elizabeth is intensely jealous of Evanora. Evanora is oblivious and thinks it’s all friendly rivalry. Caroline fluctuates between scolding and reassuring Elizabeth that she isn’t trying to replace her.)

Story Ideas
Okay the first one isn't showing up in the story ideas tag for some reason, so I'm just gonna link the previous ones at the beginning from now on. Here’s the first and here’s the second.
Lost and Found - After discovering so many lost places and engines, Thomas gets a little puffed up in the smokebox. But after deciding to try and find more lost engines, Thomas gets a little lost himself.
Early Days - When she learns that the Fat Controller still hasn't learned to drive properly, Elizabeth tells Winston about her own early days.
Molly Makes Her Mark - Gordon is sent for an overhaul, and the Fat Controller sends Molly to pull the express. Can she overcome her fear of passenger work, or will she cause confusion and delay?
Fiendish Frankie - Frankie is brought over from the mainland to help out at the ironworks while Bert is being repaired. But when the other engines find out about what she did to Thomas, she’s met with suspicion and scorn.
Them’s the Brakes - Rebecca is having having more trouble timing her stops than usual, so Philip volunteers to come along and brake from behind. Unfortunately, it doesn’t go as well as they hope.
A Brake in the Case - Rebecca is put on goods duty until she can learn to brake properly. But when her cargo begins going missing, it’s up to Rebecca and Bruno to solve the mystery.
The Hidden Engine - While they’re visiting the Vicarstown Railway Museum, Stewart - an engine from the Wellsworth and Suddery Railway - tells Rosie and Kana about how he narrowly avoided being scrapped.
Daisy and Dexter - As more and more passengers visit Harwick, Daisy finds herself unable to carry everybody by herself, so Dexter is asked to help lighten her load. Along the way, Daisy learns that coaches are just as important as railcars.
Pride of the Line - Kana is tasked with taking a special train to the mainland for a pride parade, but forgets to charge her battery due to her excitement. But when her battery dies not long after she sets off, she’ll need all the help she can to get her passengers to the station on time.
Madeline - When Nia is sent to run Edward’s branch line while he’s away at the works, she notices a little girl watching her from a station platform. But to her confusion and worry, Nia seems to be the only one who sees her.

Skarloey ships?
There just aren't that many good candidates in RWS. It's too bad. I think the closely-mirroring alt-Talyllyn thing makes them a little remote, honestly; I like how in TVS the S.R. seems more integrated into Sodor...
Right. Ships. I'm not sure he and Rheneas have to be ace, but ultimately I don't think they have any relationship more important than each other. Also, not to be too depressing, but if they're not ace then it's very likely they have had attachments to vehicles that no longer exist.
That said, here's a wild thought that has knocked at my brainpan a few times... a potential on-again off-again but-they've-been-doing-this-for-nine-decades-now-soooooooo. Hear me out:

and nothing, I'm really excited about this drawing. I was thinking that when I finish the Double Life fanfiction, I'd like to do one about Elizabeth's adolescence.
speaking of Double life, I promised that I would release the chapters soon, but at school they are harassing me with homework, questions and tests. forgive me.

Hello there Duchess! I haven't seen you get asked very many questions, so.. Forgive me if this is a tad personal, but what were Coronation Classes 6221 "Queen Elizabeth"and 6222 "Queen Mary" like? Were they like.. the leaders of the Stanier engines back when they still roamed the rails?
Duchess of Loughborough: Yes! Of course! Hello! I haven’t gotten any questions yet, this is very exciting! No one really asks me about my siblings, Miss Hamilton and City of Birmingham are the ones who usually get these questions being in the public eye.
Well, the leader of the LMS engines back in the day were 6220 Coronation and 6221 Queen Elizabeth! Of course it made perfect sense for them to be the leaders, especially with Elizabeth being named after the Queen. Queen Mary was annoyed at not being a class leader and tended to boss other engines like the Princess and Royal Scots.
Queen Elizabeth took after the Queen, was always prim and proper and was best friends with our oldest sister. Queen Mary was a little arrogant and jealous of Elizabeth at first but over time she became good friends and eased on the bossiness. She was still a little bit bossy though!
