Right at the start of the day, Eric and Christian are the first and second engines to be fired up and filled with water and coal,soon they were on their way.

Emma is an artist. She can't go anywhere without drawing, painting, or photographing all the beautiful things she sees. She has the quirkiest brain: she can imagine and create things no one else can. She loves telling jokes, even if no one else gets them. She really wants to keep secrets but it's just SO HARD! She trusts the best in everyone, even if they don't always deserve it. 

When they got there they saw 6 coaches that they never seen before. These red coaches are British Railways Mark 1 coaches. These coaches were long, has broad windows on one side, and narrow windows on the other side.

"I haven't seen these coaches in a while, I wonder why they're here." Eric said. "Well Ms Avery said that these coaches are for Henrietta, she said that these coaches are part of the next big thing for the railway." Olivia explained. Christian shunted the coaches on to platform 1 where Henrietta was waiting. As she was waiting, Ms Avery was explaining to the LNER A3 how the run was going to work.

Ms Avery, her official name being Avery Godson, is one of the owners and controllers of the railway, the other being her husband, The railway being named after the couple. Ms Avery is a female with long brown hair, along with blue eyes, dark color skin, while standing 5ft 3in" tall. She looks to be in her late 20's or early 30's. She is wearing a long white skirt and a long coat.

"Henrietta, after you finish your regular express service to Traintown, you will head forth to a station called Barrow-in-Furness. After you disembark and collect passengers, I need you to make your way down the rails to another station called Vicarstown." Ms Avery added on. "The run is a trial to see if it's viable, and to see if it can be added to the usual express schedule we have. If this works, this will be the next big thing for the Godson railway."

"Now that does sound like something grand for an express engine." Henrietta commented to Ms Avery with a smile on her face. Then a girl named Mia came up exhausted.
