Polly is possessing Olivia to keep her safe which is why she called Scot her older brother

DR HENDRICK: It would explain why Great Northern was so secretive about his attempts to bring back Polly and how he healed Olivia when she was little. It also makes sense how Olivia was able to handle keeping Scotsman's soul inside her.

Olivia Gresley and Oscar O'Brolchain's wedding.

In which Bittern gets assulted by doves and Flying Scotsman is bridesmaid of honour.

Out of the Gresley locos, who appears more stuck up but is actually really nice?

OLIVIA: Bittern. He likes to act high and mighty to put up the facade of a ‘high class’ engine. When you first meet him he’s abrasive and talks down to you but you can kinda tell it’s a mask. A lot of the express engines are like that honestly, it’s a hold over from the old railway days.

OLIVIA: Tired and cold. Mostly cold. Nothing I do makes me feel warm, I don’t know why.

OLIVIA: I’m doing okay. Just tired, cold and bored mostly. Polly is due in about 3 months which means I’m going to be bored out of my mind for the time being.

PEONY: Well uh, that’s a question for Dr Hendrick. He’s the expert. Next to Great Northern he’s the one who knows the most. He used to work as Doncaster as a medic engine after all!

DR HENDRICK: Well I don’t claim to know everything! I’m sure the other railways medics have a lot more knowledge from me. As for that incident with the Southern Warden, the man was reckless and desperate to save that engine. He did so despite no knowledge on the effects of humans. It was unfortunate but he was admirable for his determination.

The Gresley’s, it’s a little difficult to say as Sir Gresley himself worked with Gold Dust closely. I do believe the man grew a tolerance to the stuff over time unlike the Southern Warden who tried to absorb a soul all at once. Olivia may have gained Sir Gresley’s tolerance to the Gold Dust through her bloodline. But we do know that if Olivia was going to suffer from Gold Dust poisoning, she would have succumbed to it by now so we’re certain that she’s not in any danger from it.

QUICKSILVER: Basically, no, Olivia is not in danger from Gold Dust poisoning.

When she was young, she was a very sick girl, so we think that her childhood illness came back when the Whistle was stolen. The trouble is, we don’t exactly know what stopped it before she had the whistle from Scotsman. North was very guarded about that for some reason. Did he use Gold Dust to heal her? We just don’t know.
