#mountain shenanigans

What Toby found was Godred, or what remained of Godred after years of being in the shed at CFR, giving away his parts for the bigger cause -- keeping other engines running when the railway was low on money and couldnt afford sending engines back to Switzerland for repair or having another defunct engine.

Godred was to be scrapped because mending him again would cost much more than getting a brand new engine. However, once he was at the scrapyard, it kept getting delayed again and again, until he was eventually forgotten about and became just another pile of rusted parts in the yard.

The entire situation was a shock to both Toby and his 2 other siblings, who were in the belief that Sir Topham Hatt would NEVER scrap a living engine if he could help it. [They of course didnt know that Godred wasnt Sir Hatt's engine.]

This made them feel very wary and, keeping hush-hush about it, gathered Godred quietly to the workshop and began repairing him, other projects be damned.
