Brendam’s rise in shipping took the engines by surprise, they hadn’t been prepared for the extra work.

#Sodorgust 2 Day 5: Overworked

It had been another busy day for the Pack, and Thomas had just dropped Jack off back at the yards. The young front loader had been feeling tired and overworked, but some praise from the motherly-figure, Miss Jenny, cheered him right up.

#Sodorgust Day 5 - Overworked

"You're right, Thomas." said Edward one day "Even with the other engines helping us, there is still too much work for us."
"But what can we do about it?" asked Thomas
"Well we can talk to the Fat Director about it." replied Edward "Maybe he'll get another engine."

A screenshot edit featuring, Thomas looking upset or possibly tired, Edward looking thoughful and next to them is James, but with no number and a red dome, so he resembles the red engine that tried to push Henry out of the tunnel in the 1950-onwards versions of "The Three Railway Engines"

#Sodorgust Day 5 - Overworked

Back in the early days of the Skarloey Railway, Duncan was overworked with non-stop trains. Freight here, passengers there, even a couple of mixed-trains too! He would look so dirty as a result with not one ounce of a single break, making him very cross.

Sodorgust Day 4 - Rescue

The wind howled and the rain pelted down. But no matter the stakes, Barry struggled on through the storm, finding his courage with each turn of his wheels.

“Trains must get through,” he panted, “come rain or shine!”

#Sodorgust Day 5 - Overworked

'12pm on the 5th of August, 2025. The Skarloey Railway's number six "Duncan" has been doing job after job since 4am. The locomotive could use some help from a pair of visiting engines resting in their sidings, but they seem quite comfortable...'

Percy quickly heaved with all his might as rain pelted his boiler, it was now tug of war between him and angry sea that threatened to take ship and he couldn’t fail to rescue the sailors.

"Can we no!" said Douglas' Driver "They're all fer uz. See fer yeself."

The Duke and Duchess of Boxford had bought a locomotive called Carnaby, he has been on static display in an abandoned halt for a while. Now rescued, Carnaby is tearing with joy. Spencer had gone alone to collect him, making a right from what happened with him and Hiro.

'2:45pm on the 4th of August, 1967. A super rescue by the enterprising engine that is the NWR's number three "Henry"! In this restored photograph, you can see him pushing BR 7101's passenger train, and pulling BR 199's goods train! A remarkable feat!'
