Dear Reader.
It was more of a shock when I found out that the Killdane Ironworks had a steam engine as a shunter, surely a place where no engine would like to go would be run by a diesel, so the engines often tell me.
However, the engine in question seems nice, and he does do other jobs around the railway when needed.
I suppose he would, like you, be interested in what I have written about him.
Regards.
The Author.

Undercover - Steam Power - Book 5 by ziffdion

Denny, Licia, Miguel and I had been kidnapped by a press gang and forced aboard His Majesty's Ship Curious, a 20 gun sailing frigate. (Book 4 Undercover Curiousers). When the ship ran aground, we escaped, but, in 1778, the British Royal Navy hung deserters. The only way we could avoid this fate was to find work in the copper and tin mines at the far south west of England. These mines were essential to the war against the French navy and employees were exempt from military service. On the way west, we fought off some highway men and joined up with the famous British engineer James Watt. He was heading for one of the mines to repair a steam engines used to prevent the mine from flooding. Our carriage driver got lost along the way and we discovered that the locals were suspicious of all foreigners and not at all helpful. While Denny was helping Mr Watt to repair his steam engine at the Ting Tang mine, Licia, Miguel and I found out that the local mechanic had been sabotaging the engine. The local coal merchants feared the loss of sales (because Mr Watt's engine was more efficient) and were paying him to make the engine burn more coal. We tricked the saboteurs to prevent them damaging the engine and Mr Watt successfully demonstrated that the engine rapidly lowered the water level in the mine and, as a by-product, supplied more water to drive the waterwheel and trip hammers used to process the tin ore. Dr Zhang found us and we returned to Plymouth narrowly avoiding a troop of red-coats searching for highway men and . . . deserters. Back in Ottawa we discovered someone had destroyed Oppy's software and were trying to bomb the electric bookcase.

Sodor: Underground Madness Unleashed

9 parts Complete

Sodor is well known for being a beautiful place in the world, the scenery, it's residents, and most importantly, the railway with its many engines, primarily including steam and diesel, looked after by Sir Topham Hatt. Or well, that's what it used to be at least until 1998. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now follow the story of Fred Ian Parker and Percy's driver, hid father, as they document their story of survival alongside the other surviving engines of the NWR as they battle the creatures originating from Sodor's secret underground cave systems! Inspired by: Sodor: Left for Dead by @ShanksYT (I don't own the original images of the edits that I used for the story)
