The Island of Sodor: The New Stories.

Lady Lillith of The Isle (Ex. Valley Railway No. 1):

Lady Lillith, or Lily for short, is a small tank engine built for a cozy little railway on the Isle of Man in 1919. She is one of two engines that ran the railway. She ran passenger services on the little line. She and her sister, Lady Catherine, were built by a man named Burnett Stone. They were both the same kind of engine, but they had different liveries. Lily has an interesting magenta livery with gold lining. She was also named after Stone's granddaughter. Her sister was painted a brick red. Lily was the tidier of the two. She also has two commemorative plaques that have her title on both of her side tanks. Her sister has the same plaques. Curiously, Lily has a golden eye color unlike most engines. Lily ran passenger services on the line with her sister until it closed in 1951. Lily was put in storage, while her sister was sold to the National Coal Board. Lily was kept maintained by Burnett for years until his death in 1989. Then she sat for another 10 years until Burnett's granddaughter came and found her. Lilly Stone had spent a lot of time on Sodor and her family had become good friends with the Norramby family. She was able to convince Sir Robert to take Lily and restore her for his railway museum. Sir Robert was more than happy to take her. Lily was restored and pulled trains around the museum estate. She was eventually reunited with her sister in 2001. When Lily and her sister worked on the Isle of Man, she was snobbish and rude to her little sister. When they finally reunited, they had both changed a lot. Lily became a gentler and sweeter engine, while her sister became quieter and more reserved. They get along even better than before now.
