    Summary

    Long before he arrived on Sodor, Dart worked in the yards on the mainland. Being assigned there wasn't especially fun. The other diesels were a lot bigger than him and not the nicest engines around. But there's one diesel engine there who the others don't seem to like at all. The one they have chosen to nickname 'Dimwit'. A BIG diesel by the name of Den.

    In no time at all, however, Dart finds that Den isn't as 'slow' as the other diesels seem to think. Quite the opposite. He's actually very insightful, just really shy and very bad with words. All that big diesel needs is someone who understands him. And just like that, begins a friendship that would never be separated.

    OR, I ended up falling in love (platonically) with Den and Dart while making a YouTube video, so you get an origin story.

    Summary

    "This granted me a thought. An idea. Tell me, Edward, have you ever wanted to leave those rails?"

    "No," Edward said firmly. "Derailments hurt. Every engine knows that."

    "No." She laughed to herself. "Not like that. I am offering you the chance to become human."

    Summary

    In recent years, James has become a "problem engine", and the issue with problem engines is they think far too much of themselves and far too little of others. After an expensive stunt resulting in the destruction of Tidmouth Sheds, Sir Topham feels like he has no choice for the safety of his railway but to call in an expert from the mainland who has past experience rectifying behavioural problems with heritage engines.

    "It's for the best," he tells himself as he makes the call, knowing that if James causes another incident like that, there will be little he can do to prevent his removal from mainline service. He intends to keep a close eye on the new driver, but railway life gets in the way, and he trusts the man to do his job well. After all, he has come highly praised from many other railways.

    It seems, however, that the ways of Sodor are not the ways of the mainland, and James is about to find this out the hard way.
