#Sodorgust Day 5 - Overworked

'12pm on the 5th of August, 2025. The Skarloey Railway's number six "Duncan" has been doing job after job since 4am. The locomotive could use some help from a pair of visiting engines resting in their sidings, but they seem quite comfortable...'

#Sodorgust Day 4 - Rescue

'2:45pm on the 4th of August, 1967. A super rescue by the enterprising engine that is the NWR's number three "Henry"! In this restored photograph, you can see him pushing BR 7101's passenger train, and pulling BR 199's goods train! A remarkable feat!'

#Sodorgust Day 3 - Sibling

'8:20pm on the 3rd of August, 2025. An accident has occurred further up the line, and the only locomotives available to help are the NWR's number nine and ten, "Donald" and "Douglas", siblings who share a remarkable history that spans a hundred years.'

#Sodorgust Day 2 - Freight

'8:40pm on the 2nd of August, 2025. As the sun begins to set over the Island of Sodor, the NWR's number six "Percy" passes through Wellsworth hauling a small freight train bound for Tidmouth Yards.'

#Sodorgust Day 1 - Afternoon

'3:30pm on the 1st of August, 2025. The NWR's number one "Thomas" approaches Ffarquhar, passing by 235519 "Lincoln" and it's crew, who is shunting various wagons for a goods train due to depart later in the day.'

Sodorgust, a month long challenge open to everyone in the TTTE community, is back and now on Bluesky!

Below are 31 prompts, one for each day in August, that you can all base a photo, screenshot or artwork off! Feel free to use toys, video games or pens, just has to be Thomas related!

As Spamcan came hurtling down the line, his driver applied the brakes hard. Sparks flew from his wheels, startling the nearby Diesel.

#TheDieselisationSeries

Diesel purred up. 'You ought to be grateful for this, BoCo!' He moaned. 'I had to fetch your coaches by myself without any help, as if I'm not...'

'Yes, thank you Diesel.' Interrupted BoCo. 'You said the same thing yesterday, no need to repeat yourself.'

#TheDieselisationSeries

'Good heavens!' mocked Spamcan. 'They really are keeping this toy railway of yours around! I suppose they have to keep those steam-loving enthusiasts happy somehow!'

Skarloey snorted indignantly, and puffed away.

Once upon a time, there was a little diesel called Bear. He lived in a shed with two other diesels. They were both bigger than Bear, and boasted about it.

'The driver won't choose you again!' they said. 'He wants big, strong diesels like us!'

#TheDieselisationSeries

'You know Dennis,' grumbled Diesel. 'I'd appreciate it if someone helped me to get everyone's coaches ready.'

The lazy diesel opened one eye. 'I'm sure you would.' he yawned as he went back to sleep.

Lorry companies had now been working with the Clay Pits for months, and the Quarry Master saw no reason to keep Bill and Ben when Derek could handle the infrequent goods trains alone. As they left for the last time, the twins glared at the abashed diesel.

#TheDieselisationSeries

Amender the Works Diesel was delighted when the Fat Controller asked if they'd like to help with passenger services on the main line. The responsibility delighted them!

#TheDieselisationSeries

When he was brought back to Sodor, Diesel hoped he'd be pulling passenger trains. His hopes were dashed when the Fat Controller made him the station pilot. He hated it, and the other engines quickly grew tired of his grumbling.

#TheDieselisationSeries

'Daisy says you're both doing well on the branch line!' Smiled BoCo. 'Keep up the good work, Mavis!' The former quarry diesel tried to force a smile, but couldn't do it. Things around her were changing rapidly, and she was struggling to cope...

#TheDieselisationSeries

'Isn't it wonderful, 7101,' said 199. 'that the Controller finally saw sense and sent those filthy steam engines away?'

Before Bear could remind Spamcan of the time a steam engine humiliated him in a rescue, the guard's whistle blew and he had to leave.
