🤎 Ursula a.k.a. Ulfstead Castle

In 1962, relatives of Sodor’s nobility decided to move to the island and took their private engine with them. The engine was a GWR Castle Class called Ursula, who was she was purchased by them way back in the 1920s when she was a brand new engine.

Tonight's engine, the GWR 47xx Night Owl!

4702 “Screech/Gwyllgi”-A curious case, 4702 was recorded as scrapped in late 1962, with photographic evidence supporting the reports. Despite this, 4702 would reappear shortly thereafter on the Uman and Din Light Railway, where they have remained ever since, much to the bafflement of railway historians. Many theories have been put forward, most involving a case of mistaken identity with 4701, the other scrapped member of the class, but none have sufficiently explained 4702’s presence on that Welsh railway.

4705 “Tawny”-Purchased from Cashmoore’s Scrapyard by the North Western Railway in March 1964, re-entering service later that year.Following the completion of an overhaul in 1975, 4705 was transferred to the ownership of the Suddery Railway Museum in order to permit them to run railtours on the mainland, which all but a select few North Western Locomotives were prohibited from doing by the 1972 North Western/British Railways Agreement. Despite this, 4705 would be frequently loaned to the North Western during heavy seasons.

4709 “Forest”-By the early 2010s, enough components that had once belonged to the lost member of the class had been gathered that it was decided to attempt to combine these parts with new build components in an attempt to reawaken 4701 “Barn”, making the class whole once more. The attempt, a joint effort between the Great Western Society and Crovan’s Gates Works, was ultimately unsuccessful. Even before the engine was completed it became clear the resulting engine would not be “Barn”, but it was decided to finish the project in his memory. The new engine would be number 4709 and awoke in early 2019 at Didcot and was named Forrest by her Siblings, after the Forest Owl, as was typical of Night Owl naming convention.

1. Tidmouth’s Original Station Pliots, Percy and Montague/Duck

Percy took this role after The Big Engines went on strike, Thomas got his Branchline, and Duck took his place when Percy joined The Ffarquhar

I drew them both in my Headcannon

2. Nia meets Gordon for the first time in 1966 (Which is when Nia arrived in my AU)

this is how I would envision how they would meet in The MSCVerse, and I drew Nia in her EAR Red Livery before being painted in orange in 1970

3. A Sketch of Duncan, Peter Sam, And Sir Handel

I drew them all at The sheds
