Hey Ryan, luke was bragging about you liking his reply, do me a favour and won't you?

"ah and here is Rusty, he looks after the tracks." Rusty snapped back to reality as peter sam spoke. sat on the wharf, fresh of a flatbed was a little green engine.
"Hello," Said the little engine with cheer, "My name is Luke, Im here to work at the slate quarry on your line."

-"Oh." said the little diesel.
"don't mention it to the others old boy. I think its best for all of them."
"yes Mr Hugh."
Rusty slowly backed away with a dreadful feeling in his engine.

"We have done all we can Rusty." Said Mr Hugh.
"But what about Protues, we can't leave him down there."
"Rusty." Mr Hugh looked away.
"what, what is it Sir?"
"Proteus, he... He didn't make it. his smoke box was crumpled beyond repair."-

- He was never found again, but many a workman will tell you that when the moon is full, they have seen the little engine trying to get home. But he never reaches the other side."

"A long time ago, a little engine was returning home. It was a misty moonlit night. As the engine crossed the Old Iron Bridge, he suddenly lost control, and plunged over the side, into the swamps below. -

-"maybe the thin controller could..."
"Rusty, The quarry have already made plans for me."
"Huh, what?"
"scrap"

"Replacment?"
"Yes. According to the Quarry, I'm apparently to old to keep. they want to get a new, young engine."
"they can't do that to you, you have been here since the 40's."
"they can, and they are planning to."
"maybe the thin controller could..."-

-"Have you taken a passnger train before?"
"Once before but I was with Skarloey that time."
"Well then, I Wish you luck. with both the train and Duncan."

"you arn't red." James looked over at the little engine in the platform.
"No," replied Protues, "Im not Red."
"Are you new to the Railway?"
"No, no. I'm just taking this train for Sir handel. Duncan blew a cylinder and trapped him in the shed."
"Have you taken a passnger train before?"-

"I'm Ashamed of you Duncan." Skarloey's voice echoed across the yard. Proteus listened as the old engine continued to scold their number 6.

"I'm so sorry about this Proteus."
"oh don't worry Skarloey, I don't mind. lets me do something other then slate trains for once."
"True that."

"Hello."
Rusty glanced up and noticed Proteus stopped on the line next to him.
"hello," said Rusty, "Can I help you?"
"oh no, I'm all good. I just wanted to say your work on the tracks around here is really good." Proteus said.
"why thank you," smiled Rusty, "I'm glad I could help."

"Who is that other falcon?" Asked rusty.
"Oh, that is Proteus. he works up at the slate quarry." replied Peter sam
"he dosen't really speak to use. he's what my driver calls a weirdo." added Sir Handel.
"Weird but nice, He always gives me a friendly whistle." Peter Sam said.

"so your the engine the quarry ordered?"
"umm, yeah I am. and you are Reneus?"
"Rheneas, its sudric for divided waterfall and you are Proteus."
"yes, according to my old owner its the name of a greek god. He chose it as he liked greek myths."
