Description 1947: Due to hard times on the Mid-Sodor Railway, Stuart and Falcon were sheeted up until some men arrived, promising to take them to another railway and give them new names and paint.

RIP Stuart and Falcon. Honoured for their work on the Mid Sodor. Duke would've been proud.

Poor Stuart and Falcon sheeted up after completing a extension project at the aluminum works at Peel Godred.

Yeah, what every happened to those impertinent scallywags...
Duke never saw Stuart or Falcon after they left the Mid Sodor Railway

Definitely a sad state of affairs for the engines of the MSR until the moments when each of them are saved.

That's just depressing.

At least Duke, Stuart and Falcon got to go to the Skarloey Railway and most of the MSR reopened as the Arlesdale Railway.

Yeah. Duke was buried for 22 years.

Is that an actual photo from the Corris railway?

Yes it is. Can you see the Great Western initials?

I'm actually wondering if this was a real life event.

The-ARC-Minister In reply to Ryan15342 [2017-01-21 14:31:18 +0000 UTC]

The Mid-Sodor Railway was based on the Corris Railway in Wales (neighbour to the Talyllyn Railway; the Skarloey Railway basis). So yes, this was a real life event for the Corris Railway.
