How Sir Topham and Mr Percival are in my au

[lomotunes2008]

Sir Topham should've just hired Mr Percival to run the railway during the events of TATMR

EDIT: Ik he wasn't hired at the time but I think it's a funny idea if he was :)

The Boulder Quarry Line

I recently binged the entire Classic Series again, as background noise while I was working on something else. When I got to Series 5-7, I remembered a headcanon I’d developed ages ago, to link together most of the Skarloey Railway episodes from those seasons. This recent binge spurred me to finally write it down, and bash it into something a little more coherent. Most of this is just me thinking aloud, but I thought I'd run it up the flagpole and see who salutes it...

1951

Just as operations are winding down at the old slate quarry at Ward Fell, new beds of good-quality slate are discovered in the hills north of Rheneas. A new quarry is established to extract this slate, and this helps to revive the Skarloey Railway’s then-declining fortunes. Even so, the surveyors who uncovered this slate are convinced there are still further treasures to be found deeper into the mountains.

1950s-60s

The search for such treasures is carried out as time allows - which isn’t very often, considering all the new developments which take place on the SR during this time.

Roughly 1970

Finally, a discovery is made - large deposits of stone in the northern foothills of Shane Dooiney, of similar quality to that quarried at Ffarquhar. Plans are quickly devised to extract the stone, and the Skarloey Railway is tasked with building a line to the new quarry.

The proposed line branches off the Rheneas Quarry line, passes through a natural ravine known locally as Echo Pass, travels alongside the main Skarloey-Peel Godred road, and finally turns south towards the new quarry site.

1970-early 1972

The line is constructed, following the route described above. When it is completed, trains start carrying building supplies to the site of the new quarry. Some trains are also laid on for the benefit of a road-building company, which is upgrading the Skarloey-Peel Godred road so that heavier vehicles can access the quarry as well.

Winter 1972

Due to a problem with the winch, some trucks break away on the incline at Rheneas Quarry. The breakaway tumbles into Echo Pass, triggering an avalanche which buries Skarloey, who happened to be travelling through the Pass with a supply train. He is subsequently rescued by Rusty.

These events are later loosely adapted into the episode Snow.

Early 1973

The new quarry finally opens for business, and even has a new name - Boulder Quarry, after an enormous, spherical boulder which looms ominously over part of the line. Boulder Quarry enjoys a prosperous first few months, and the Skarloey Railway enjoys the revenue boost provided by the new stone traffic.

After a while, Rusty begins to feel nervous about the Boulder, but can’t really explain why. The others don’t take him too seriously.

Autumn 1973

After several weeks of heavy rain, Boulder Quarry is able to try out its latest acquisition - an experimental drilling machine known as Thumper. Unfortunately, the vibrations from Thumper cause the Boulder to fall off its perch, and run away down the Skarloey Valley. The Boulder causes a great deal of damage to track and property all down the valley, culminating in the destruction of some new stone-cutting sheds just outside Crovan’s Gate.

All concerned parties agree the disaster is an act of god telling them to leave that part of Sodor alone, and Boulder Quarry shuts its doors for good - financially crippled by having been forced to pay substantial compensation to every property owner in the valley.

The Skarloey Railway also ends up in dire straits - besides the damage caused by the Boulder, several years of hard work have just gone down the tubes.

The remainder of 1973

The Thin Controller decides to temporarily close the SR, so that everyone can focus their efforts on repairing all the damage to track and property. The rest of 1973 is spent doing just that.

The events of Duncan Gets Spooked take place during this clean-up operation.

At some point, the time is found to move the Boulder to a new, safer perch - on a specially-constructed plinth on a hill near to Crovan’s Gate, and positioned to face in the direction of its old perch.

That winter, during a break, the little engines tell Thomas (or more likely some other standard gauge engine) the story of Skarloey’s Avalanche.

1974

The clean-up continues into 1974, and the line remains closed for the first half of that year. The Thin Controller hopes to have the line ready to reopen in time for the start of the summer operating season. Fortunately, Rheneas Quarry is closed for the two weeks before, freeing up men and engines to help. Elizabeth also happens to be working in the area, and is persuaded to lend a wheel. With all this help, the clean-up is completed in the nick of time, and the Skarloey Railway is officially declared open once more.

Meanwhile, the people of Glennock decide to treat themselves to a new organ for the village school. Headmaster Hastings personally oversees the delivery of the organ. This isn’t really relevant to the Boulder saga - I just felt like mentioning it.

1975

By this year ,things are more or less back to normal on the Skarloey Railway. One day, Rheneas takes a special charter train carrying a party of schoolchildren from the Mainland. On his way back down the line, he is accidentally diverted onto the abandoned line to Boulder Quarry. The line isn’t in the best condition, and wasn’t designed to carry passengers anyway, so Rheneas has a real rollercoaster ride to the Quarry and back.

Since the children enjoyed themselves so much, the Thin Controller lets Rheneas off for his mishap, but it gets him thinking about the old line, and how he might be able to get his money’s worth from it after all…

Surveys are carried out, and it is decided to reopen the old quarry line to serve as a connection between the SR and the Culdee Fell Railway - the latter being reached by rerouting the line in the direction of their station at Skarloey Road.

 The line also passes through many areas of natural beauty, and so a number of stations are proposed to serve some of these areas. These stations include Elephant Park (above) and Rumblin Bridge (below).

The terminus of the line is at the village of Skarloey Road. So as to avoid confusion with the CFR station, the SR station is known as Upland Station. While not a direct link between the two railways, their respective stations are still a reasonably short walk away from each other.

The reconstruction of the line takes place throughout the first half of 1975, and is completed just in time for the summer operating season. Sir Topham Hatt and Lady Hatt attend the grand opening, having first viewed the new line from a hot air balloon (and then made a crash-landing in said balloon).

To finish off, here is a rough map of the original Boulder Quarry line, the subsequent Upland Extension, and how they both relate to the main SR line.

Mr. Percival and Sir Topham Hatt verses Duncan

[fabianvalencia561]

- before

D10: *He looks at Mr Percival.* Well since Proteus is dealing with the little ones..... You come with me sir...

*D10 begins to walk towards garage.*

Mr Percival: **he was obviously confused but he followed him.**

D10: *he was quiet for a bit until he stopped and looked at Mr Percival** We need to get you ready to leave.

Mr Percival: ?????- *he was very confused about what D10 was talking about*

D10: *he laughed a bit and sighs*

D10: We are going to take you to your family..... They're leaving Sodor as also many others..... Because of the corrupt.... But we need to hurry because there's only limited time......

Mr Percival: !!!!!!- *He almost didn't believe it.... Why?... How...? How could his family still accept him as the monster he became?*

D10: I told your wife and children even about what happened to you and.... They are very worried about you.... They want you to go to the mainland with them.... They miss you...

Mr Percival: *he wanted to speak but he didn't even try... His vocal cords were too destroyed* .....

D10: Though... I'm not going to drop you off to them...someone else is going to-

*A knock on the door interrupt D10 from talking.*

D10: Ah!- That must be him.... *He opens the door.*

D10: Hey Jerry..... *He smiles a bit.* I'm glad you're here.... You ready?

Jerry: Yeah... Is Percival ready?

D10: Uhm.... *He looks at Mr Percival* ..... I believe so... You ready sir?

Mr Percival: ..... *He slowly nods his head*

Jerry: *he quickly nods his head* Alright..... Come on Percival...

*Eventually Jerry and Mr Percival get to the Station. Gordon was there waiting for many passengers to get on the coaches.*

Jerry: Alright.... Mr Percival.... Let's get you to the coaches... But first I want to ask.... How did you get your face back? ..... I remember.... When you were all.... Skeletal....

Mr Percival: ..... *He thought to himself: I wish I could but I can't....(He tried to repeat the same things again but it was just a low scream and growl)*

Jerry:???- What are you talking about I can understand you.... You are just speaking in corrupted..... Now.... May you answer my question please?

Mr Percival: *he was stunned almost* ..... (huh..... Yeah..... Proteus.... He made this..... Actually he's been helping out quite a bit from what I heard.... And seen....

Jerry: *His face almost quickly turned into a very upset look* huh.... And he helped everyone else but ..... my wife....

Mr Percival: !!- (What?...What do you mean..?.)

Jerry: .....Hehe... Damnit... *He was pissed off even though he was trying to calm down.* ..... He thought that I didn't know that they were watching me.... With my son and wife.... On her deathbed.... HE JUST WATCHED ME SEE HER DIE! MY FATHER AS WELL!! THEY BOTH WATCH ME AND MY SON WATCH HER DIE!!!!! *He was getting very stressed and angry.*

*Mr Percival tried to calm down Jerry but when he did Jerry grabbed him by the wrist and threw him to the ground. Jerry hiss loudly as his anger, sadness, and grief took over of him.*

Jerry: I HAD TO FUCKING WATCH HER DIE WHILE HE HELP AND HEALED EVERYONE ELSE!!!! *He used all his anger and grabbed Mr Percival's face and used all his strength and then.. ripped.... Mr Percival's face was ripped off.* IF I HAD TO SUFFER FROM MY WIFE'S DEATH THEN YOU SUFFER FROM HAVING NO FACE!!!!

Mr Percival: *he screamed in pain as the nerves that were connected to his face ripped bit by bit...*

*People around the station heard the yelling and began to look in the direction near the entrance of the station many started to scream and panic as they saw the true monster that Jerry was and he has done to poor Mr Percival Gordon also look and he was stunned he couldn't even move almost he was actually afraid of this. Not just because Jerry ripped off the face of Mr Percival but also what an actual monster Jerry was.*

Jerry: *he backed up.* It isn't fair.... It isn't fair... Wait... What am I doing!?..... What have I done to him...........No... I need to do this..... *He looked at Mr Percival and grabbed his gun* I need to end this.... Because ...because no one is going to accept you they only see you now as a monster if I kill you now you don't have to worry about that later on..... *Jerry was basically on the verge of going fully insane he was basically talking to himself at this point a mad man holding a gun to someone that has no idea why he's even acting like this.*

....

Any Mr. Percival headcanons?

Just one, and ironically, it's that there is no Mr Percival in my headcanon. Let me explain:

When the TV producers finally decided to introduce a Thin Controller in Series 9, they were faced with the dilemma of what his formal name should be. Series 9 as a whole was based on events which happened in 1977 - according to my own timeline headcanon - and during that time, the Skarloey Railway's general manager was Mr Peter Sam. Obviously that name couldn't be used - the potential for confusion with Peter Sam the engine was too great.

So after a bit of brainstorming, he became Mr Peregrine Percival. Over time, the character evolved into an amalgamation of all the real-life Thin Controllers - in the same way that the TV producers had previously rolled up all the Fat Controllers into one.

In the 'reality' of my headcanon, of course, this change never happened, so the SR remains under the control of Mr Peter Sam from S9-12 (1977-80), and Mr Roger Sam from S12-onwards (1980-onwards).

Duncan the Humbug (Part 11)

Big Six and Duncan found themselves next to two diesels, Arry and Bert. They were pulling apart a lifeless engine lying on a crate.

"Oi Bert, I'm not surprised he crashed. Reckless ol' sour lemon."

"I could still 'ear 'im wheezing in 'is last hours,"

"Oi! He'll never fit in 'is coffin with a funnel that long."

"That can be arranged."

Arry sawed the engine's smokestack in half. Then both diesels went off cackling.

The engine was faceless. But it wore a tattered vest, a kilt, gloves and rollerskates. Duncan begged Big Six to take him somewhere happier.

"Hi Rusty!" said Thomas. "Today is Christmas, do you want to play with me?"

"I can't play with you Thomas. I'm sad."

"But why?"

Skarloey held a white cross to his chest. He sobbed quietly.

"Our little Luke is dead. He slipped on a hill. He crashed."

Thomas stuttered. "G-guys . . . I'm so sorry. Gosh, I remember when I first met Luke. He was so sweet."

"Mr. Percival, I'd like to register a complaint:"

Two engine drivers were covered in casts, one looking very sad, and one looking very mad.

"Oh my goodness, what happened to you guys?"

"Well, two of your engines crashed into each other this morning . . ."

"Who?"

"I'll give you a hint: Peter Pan and The Grinch on ice skates."
