it's still april even if its not 4/4, so here's four of them!

(derek being d4 was inspired by @.mean-scarlet-deceiver's fic, which you should totally read if you like gordon having character development but still being fundamentally Gordon and derek existing)

Questioning too much:

*And as they requested, Neville showed them both his mouth*

For context, Neville has the strongest bite force out of the Parasites, as well as any animal, able to bite through steel like butter, being around 37,568 psi. Also having teeth at the sides helps him swallow bigger prey better too.

(Why tf do I like this gay ship???????)

Who do the diesels think are best pony?

(Unrelated but you are a really kind and admirable person and anyone would be lucky to have you as a friend)

(I always have this feeling that the other diesels don’t like Dennis because he brings shame to them)

Honestly, I feel that many of the engines on Sodor would not be big on Dennis due to his slothful nature. They would most likely feel that he just slows down any work being done due to not doing anything. I do feel some would have pity on him, but most just are annoyed by him, especially if they are paired up with him for a task. That’s why Norman makes more appearances than Dennis, because, while Norman has engine issues, he at least tries. Hell even Derek tried harder than Dennis did, and Derek’s engine is in terrible shape.

(Btw, I personally don’t hate Dennis, but can see why the engines on Sodor wouldn’t like him. No one likes a slacker)

(Even the wiki on Dennis says that he isn’t popular. It says, “As a result of his laziness, he is very unpopular with other engines,”. I have the screenshot to prove it.)

So, what I’m saying is your right, he is not popular among the diesels, or any of the engines for that matter.

To: DJ

Do any mainland diesels come and help?

Sincerely:LMS Productions!

DJ; "Well, yeah. I have seen a few of those guys around. I met this diesel named Derek once and he told me he was on trial here at one point! Though he broke down during a freight run to Brendam and was sent back. There's a couple other diesels I've seen, but I haven't talked to them much since I can only ever go on miniature tracks unless my big brother picks me up"

Derek and his real-life basis; the Clayton/Paxman class 17 Bo-Bo.

[number1spongebobfan]

Duncan is getting a tattoo on his back by Derek. Derek is the tattoo artist. Rusty is . . . wondering what's going on. She's kind of worried.

(I think Duncan would love getting tattoos, because he is a rock and roll engine. Rock and Roll artists tend to get body modifications. I don't know what kind he's getting tho)

Traintober: Day 10 "Happiest"

"Nobody's ever happy being around Killdane."

[Killdane Iron & Smelting Co, East Sodor]

Derek trundled into the yard with a long train of scrap from The Mainland in tow. He glanced about the yards watching the workers going about their work. Truth be told he wasn't at his happiest here, for good reason, naturally. He himself had been in danger of being scrapped not long ago, still work had to get done, and he had a job to do.

As he approached the smelting sheds, he noticed something odd. The Ironworks was. . .staffed with different engines. Drake, a small great western shunter stopped ahead of Derek. "Good work, if you need the fuel pumps they're on the siding nearest the sheds.", Derek looked the engine over, and against better judgement asked, "Are you new to the ironworks?" The engine, stared at Derek, grumbled something indiscernible, before bluntly stating "No, I've been here for quite a while."

Derek thought for a moment, and asked.

"Weren't there two diesel shunters who ran this yard?".

Drake stared, a difficult to determine expression with hints of tiredness fell upon their face. "No." they said quite plainly. "Are you quite sure?" Derek ventured again, Drake pondered for a moment. "Over there." they said, Derek looked over and watched an unfamiliar diesel shunter, grumble past with a train of slag wagons and what appeared to be a rusty tender in front.

Derek didn't quite know what to say.

Trouble for the Tricky Twins

Bill and Ben, the tank engine twins, work at the china clay pits at Brendam Docks. Their work is important, but it can be hot and dirty. Sometimes this makes the twins naughty. One sweltering summer morning, they were feeling very naughty indeed.

“That’s my line of freight cars!” Bill snapped sourly.

“It’s not, it’s mine!” Ben argued angrily. “Yours is over there!”

“It’s mine!” Bill shouted.

“It’s not!” Ben replied.

“It’s mine!” Bill shouted.

“It’s not!” Ben replied.

Their friend, a big green diesel named BoCo, was worried. “Stop quarrelling, you two, or I shall plant my saintly wheels up your bunkers! If you two keep going on like that, the only thing you’ll get is—”

Suddenly, Bill and Ben charged forward. The two bumped each other right off the rails!

“—trouble,” finished BoCo, as he counted to ten in his head.

“Silly!” Bill snapped sulkily.

“'Silly' yourself!” Ben argued angrily.

“Bill and Ben, behave yourselves, or I shall send you to your sheds!” bellowed Sir Topham Hatt. “It’s clear to me that we need another diesel to help out here, now that BoCo is leaving Winston’s branchline! He’s new, and keen to make a good impression!”

“If I were you,” whispered BoCo, “I’d get back to work right away.”

Bill and Ben glared at BoCo, who remembered they were still off the rails. “Um, I’ll fetch a crane,” he said.

As BoCo left, Sir Topham Hatt walked back to his car. He was starting to have doubts about his decision. “I hope this new diesel doesn’t cause more problems,” he thought. “I heard he has a poor cooling system.”

And Sir Topham Hatt was right. A cooling system is very important to a diesel. If they don’t have one, they will overheat and break down. And this new diesel had quite a poorly-built one.

As the new diesel strained up Emily’s Hill, he began to cough and pant. “Oh m-my grease and oil!” he gasped. “I wasn’t expecting such a climb!”

But then, the new diesel’s engine began to splutter! It began to stutter! And then it came to a complete stop, with black smoke pouring from his chassis. The diesel coughed, and sighed with annoyance.

Rebecca soon arrived with some workmen in a coach. The new diesel looked sheepish. “Sorry!” he said. “It’s my fault; I got teething troubles, you know!”

“I’ve been there,” Rebecca said sympathetically. “When I was young, I had a flawed design. But it was because of Sir Topham Hatt that I got to become Really Useful!”

“Do you think there’s hope for me, then?” asked the new diesel.

“I personally think so,” Rebecca replied.

The news soon spread. “Apparently, it’s 'teething troubles',” confided Stanley to Nia.

Later, Nia saw Neville at a signal. “This new diesel has 'teething troubles',” said Nia to Neville. “Pass it on!”

Neville saw Winston up ahead. “The new diesel has 'teething troubles',” said Neville. “Pass it on!”

But Winston saw an opportunity to tease Bill and Ben. He saw them at the China Clay Pits, having their faces cleaned. “Hey, you two!” said Winston. “This new diesel has 'toothache'! Good luck!”

As Winston chuffed away, Bill asked, “why did Winston wish us 'good luck'?”

“Because he knows we’ll need it!” shrilled Ben. “A diesel with 'toothache' must be the worst diesel of all!” Neither Bill or Ben heard Winston laughing as he puffed away.

Much later in the day, the dock manager came to see the twins. “HEY, YOU TWO! YOU MUST TAKE A TRAIN TO THE LITTLE WESTERN BRANCH LINE, AND STAY THERE FOR THE NIGHT! YOU CAN COME BACK IN THE MORNING!”

“Why do we have to stay the night?” asked Ben.

“SHUT UP!” said the manager, and he stormed away. Neither Bill nor Ben knew how to respond to that.

When they arrived at the Little Western, it was nighttime, and the twins looked tired. They each pulled up next to Duck.

“You do look glum!” said Duck.

“It’s this new diesel’s fault!” whined Ben. “He’s got 'toothache'!”

“He hasn’t got 'toothache', you silly engines, he’s got 'teething troubles'!” said Duck. “That means he’s new, and some parts of him don’t work properly! In this diesel’s case, it’s his cooling system. Henry had to rescue him earlier today.”

That made the twins feel a strange mixture of better and worse.

The next morning, when the twins were back at the China Clay Pits, the two were just preparing to take another train when they heard an unfamiliar horn. “OH, NO!” wailed the twins. “IT’S THE NEW DIESEL!”

And it was.

“Hello!” said the new diesel. “I’ll soon sort this train out! You two take the front and I’ll take the behind.” He made an awkward cough. “What fun!”

All went well as the twins and the new diesel set off. But as they reached the incline, the diesel began to slow down. Bill and Ben took notice of this.

“COME ON, COME ON!” yelled the twins. “PUSH HARDER, YOU SILLY SLOP-FILLED DIESEL!”

But it was no use. “I’m overheating again!” wailed the diesel. And overheat he did. His engine spluttered, and stuttered, and he came to a complete stop.

“OH, PAH!” roared Bill.

“Never mind,” soothed his driver. “Let’s try to finish the journey anyway! It means we’ll have to tow the diesel away as well.” “We’ll try,” said Ben.

It took all their strength, but they managed to finish their journey. That night, the twins were resting in the sheds when Sir Topham Hatt came to see them.

“Well done, Bill and Ben!” said Sir Topham Hatt. “I’ve sent the new diesel to the Dieselworks to be mended. I’ve called for another diesel to help out here for the time being.”

All Bill and Ben did for the rest of the night was hope that the diesel who was coming wasn’t Devious Diesel.

The 'Clayton' Class 17

Not a long lived species. Built between 1962 and 1965, all 117 examples of the fleet were stood down between 1968 and 1971. Chronic unreliability besieged them, and they usually worked in pairs to overcome this.

A typical pairing up sees them ailing a steam engine (a rare chance to shine as the rescuers and not the rescued) somewhere in southern Scotland. The second diesel here only managed five years of service.

July 1965
