John The Old Engine

John The Old Engine is the second episode in the first season of Rail Adventures.

Plot
One day,Percy and Norman were shunting at Knapford.It was summer and the work was very tiring indeed.However,that would all change later on.

"Phew,now that's done,I'll get that other train for James." James had to take a goods train to Vicarstown Sheds,which was apparently under maintenance due to a storm a week ago that took some damage on the roof.

At last,the train was shunted to James."Hurry up,Percy!"

"Take it easy,James," said his driver.

Then,the guard blew his whistle and waved his flag.James puffed away as fast as he could.But this was also a slow goods,stopping at every station to pick up and send down trucks.James hated this job.

"Come along,come along!," he said to the trucks.

But they,like most trucks,were normal trucks,so trouble came.

When they reached Gordon's Hill,the trucks held back.

"Get, (pant),moving,you!"

"We won't!" retorted the trucks.

But,at last,James reached the top of the hill,but then there was trouble!

The trucks pushed James down the hill!

"Stop,stop,stop!"

"On,on,on!" retorted the silly trucks.

James' driver applied the brakes,but they were no use against the surging trucks.

The guard even jumped clear,and hurt his arm in the process.

"Ouch!" he exclaimed.

Still,James roared through Vicarstown.

He was diverted onto an old siding,strainght into a shed.

(bang)

"Ouch! That hurt!"

Luckily,no one was hurt.Suddenly,there was a creak in the roof.

"Ouch!" said a mysterious voice.

"W-who's t-there?"

"Me"

In front of James stood a rusty engine.

"I'm John" said the engine.

"And I'm James"

"What class are you?"

"A Midland Railway 4F"

"Why are you here?" said James.

"In 1939,I was due to be a new engine on your railway,but I ran into here because my brakes failed.My crew went for help,but they never came back,so I was left here to rust for years."

"Don't you worry,John.I'll go and get help." said James' driver.

"Great!"

Soon,Edward arrived with the brakedown train,and The Fat Controller was onboard.

"Amazing discovery,James!" was all he said.

He sent John for an overhaul.But that's another story.
