ERS 42 - Evan the Private Engine

ERS Audiobooks "Complete"

The True Beginning of The Extended Railway Series Audio Project - created by fans of The Original Railway Series to continue the story where Wilbert and Christopher Awdry left off.

Our story begins on the Skarloey Railway, where a private owner engine comes to help with a very special extension project.

ERS 42 - The Foreword

Many years ago the Thin Controller decided to extend the Skarloey Railway around the Lake to draw in more visitors. To aid in construction he enlists the help of No.1, a privately-owned shunting engine who hasn't worked for a long while. No.1 gets the perfect chance to stretch his wheels, however, when Rusty needs help with his supplies train.

ERS 42 - Story 01 - Part of the Loop

Work on the loop line is going well, but Sir Handel is unhappy. He's fed up of his heavy supply runs and wants No.1's shunting duties instead, seeing the job of inherently easy. Following an argument with the Foreman, Sir Handel gets his wish - and almost instantly spills his supplies train all over the Yard! How could any engine clear such a complex mess? No.1 shows him how.

ERS 42 - Story 02 - Temporary Inconvenience

As the loop line nears completion, No.1 finds his work is leaving him more tired out than ever. Not wanting to let his Owner down with so little left to be done, he and his Driver resolve to say nothing unless something serious happens. Something serious does happen when No.1 has to take one of Rusty's supply trains all along the line and he runs out of steam halfway along. No.1 is rescued and put in his shed, but come the day of the grand opening, he's still nowhere to be seen...

ERS 42 - Story 03 - Out of Action

Many years later, Duncan is helping to clear the Lakeside Line sidings, which have become old and overgrown. The little engine has been acting worse than ever recently, to the point of having a serious breakdown. Left alone for a long time before being repaired, Duncan is eager to work again and redeem himself. This he does when he clears a mudslide on the hill and discovers an old friend of the Railway buried underneath...

ERS 42 - Story 04 - Redemption

Based on an incident from the Welsh Highland Railway in 1999, the engines on Edward’s Branch Line encounter a rude tractor called Shane, who has come to help deliver apples from the Orchard to Suddery Market with Trevor.  However, his teasing soon comes to an abrupt end when he breaks down on a level crossing, and ends up in BoCo’s way!

ERS 43 - Story 01 - BoCo's Tractor Bang

Written by Ryan. Told by Matt Cooper. Music by SudrianAfro. Art by 01Salty.

It's a time of change for the Main Line. The Fat Controller buys a Castle, Henry becomes a film star thanks to Harold, James receives an impromptu coat of paint, and Gordon becomes jealous of Sodor Castle. Will they ever be able to settle their differences and become really useful Express Engines?

The Thomas the Tank Engine Man

The Extended Railway Series is a homage to the Rev W. and Christopher Awdry's work, and aims to emulate on the stories they wrote and produced throughout the heyday of the books.  Since it's introduction in 2003, the ERS has become a proud and honored Sodor Island Forum institution and distinctive for members to have their work "published" in the exclusive ERS Library.

Here, for the first time ever, are those stories in an audio book format, told by the best narrators that Sodor Island Forums has to offer.
