Bert watched curiously as the new engine was lowered down onto the Arlesdale tracks gently. She was a royal purple 2-4-2 with elegant gold lining on her cab and tender. She looked more like a narrow gauge engine rather than a downsized standard gauge.
"You said you found her in a barn?" He asked the small controller dubiously.
"An abandoned one at that." Mr.Duncan confirmed with some amusement. "No one knew where she had gone after the Zoo closed. We still aren't certain how she ended up there, as she was asleep when they moved her."
He approached the little engine, Bert trailing behind.
"Hello my dear, I am Fergus Duncan, your new controller."
"A pleasure to meet you, sir," she said shyly, "my old line called me Everest."
"Would you like to keep that name?"
"Yes sir, if it's not a bother."
"Not at all, Everest it is. Have they told you what you will be doing here?"
"The workmen said something about a branchline?"
The small controller nodded, "Our railway is built on the Trackbed of the old Mid-Sodor Railway. We plan to reopen the Ffarquhar Road branch line next, giving us access to the old quarries and another connection with the Standard Gauge North Western Railway. You will be helping to relay the line. Once built, it'll be yours."
She froze, "I'm...I'm getting a branchline?"
Mr.Duncan smiled, "If you behave yourself. You'll be pulling the tourist trains along the route."
"Shouldn't one of your existing engines get the line?" She asked nervously.
"None of us wanted it," Bert spoke up, "We're used to running the mainline together, and don't want to be separated."
"We need them all on the mainline as well." Mr. Duncan nodded, "it won't be long before we have to look for another engine to help during the heavy season."
He smiled at Everest, "You're better suited for the line anyway, as our four mainline steam engines would be underworked with the number of passengers we're expecting for the line. Are you up for it?"

Because Mr. Fergus Duncan is staring at his cup of chocolate?
The tranquil island of Sodor is shaken when a bright blue locomotive appears at Knapford station. Her name is Akhela, and she looks as dazzling as the stars on a clear night. Akhela tells a heartbreaking story: her home in the distant star system where there was a railway called the planetarium was destroyed by the evil Queen Galaxia, a lady who has been in charge of buying land and exploiting it. It is not known exactly how she came to Sodor but she will be looking for an opportunity.
