Thomas and Friends: Sodor Online Journeys (Story 59): The Deputation

Snow came early that year on the Island of Sodor. It was heavier than usual. It stayed too, and choked the lines. Most engines hate snow. Donald and Douglas were use to it. They were soon coupled back to back, with a van between their tenders. Then, each with a snowplough on their fronts, as they set to work. They puffed busily backwards and forwards patrolling the line. Generally the snow slipped away easily, but sometimes they found deeper drifts. Presently, they came to a drift which was larger than most. They charged it, and were just backing up for another try when there was a feeble and a whistle. People waved and shouted for help. "Losh sakes, Donal, it's Henry! Dinna fash yersel, Henry. Bide a wee. We'll hae ye oot!"

Henry was feeling grateful. He saw all was not well. The twins were glum. They told him that the Fat Controller was returning soon/They told him that Sir Topham Hatt was making a decision. "He'll send uz back/away for shair," they said. "It's a shame!" sympathised Percy. "A lot of nonsense about a signalbox," grumbled Gordon. "That Brake Van too," put in James. "Good riddance. That's what I say." They were splendid in the snow/the twins were splendid in the snow," added Henry. "It isn't fair." They all agreed that something must be done, but none knew what.

One day, Percy talked to Edward about it. "What you need," said Edward, "is a Deputation." He explained what that was. When Edward finished, Percy ran back quickly.

"Edward says we need a Depotstation," he told the others. "Of course," said Gordon, "the question is…" "…what is a desperation?" asked Henry. "It's when engines tell the Fat Controller/Sir Topham Hatt something's wrong," said Percy, "and ask him to put it right." "Did you say tell the Fat Controller/Sir Topham Hatt?" asked Duck thoughtfully. There was a long silence.

"I propose," said Gordon at last, "that Percy be our-er-hmm-disputation." "HI!/ME!" squeaked Percy. "I can't." "Rubbish, Percy." said Henry. "It's easy." "That's settled then," said Gordon. Poor Percy wished it wasn't!

"Hullo Percy! It's nice to be back." Percy jumped. Some trucks/cars went flying. "I uh y-y-yes Sir, please Sir." "You look nervous, Percy. What's the matter?" "Please Sir, they've made me a Desperation Sir. But to speak to you Sir. I don't like it Sir." The Fat Controller/Sir Topham Hatt pondered. "Do you mean a Deputation, Percy?" he asked. "Yes Sir, please Sir. It's Donald and Douglas Sir. They say, Sir, that if you send them away, Sir, they'll be turned into Scrap, Sir. That'd be dreadful, Sir. Please Sir, don't them away, Sir. They're nice engines, Sir." "Thank you, Percy. That will do." After that, he walked away.

Later, the Fat Controller/Sir Topham Hatt spoke to the Engines. "I had a deputation yesterday," said the Fat Controller/Sir Topham Hatt. "I understand your feelings, but I do not approve of interference./I understand your feelings, but I do not approve the matter." He paused impressively. "Donald and Douglas, I hear that your work in the snow was good. What colour paint would you like?" The twins were surprised. "Blue, Sirr, please." "Very well. But your names will be painted on you. We'll have no more 'mistakes'." "Thankye, Sirr. Dis this mean that the baith o' uz…?" The Fat Controller/Sir Topham Hatt smiled. "It means…" But the rest of his speech was drowned in a delighted chorus of cheers and whistles. The twins were here to stay.
