Hello Everyone. I'm The Woosmann and this is my first attempt of writing a story. Actually I'm from Germany so it will be not so easy for me to write in English. So please excuse me if I make some grammatical mistakes.

Anyway it's happening after the events of the episode "The Sad story of Henry". A new engine is getting introduced. A German Class 01 Steam engine.

Chapter 1

Number 1511

It was a beautiful day on the Island of Sodor...but when is it not a beautiful day on that fictional Island between Barrow-in-Furness and the Isle of Man.

At Knapford Station Gordon was enraged." Why had this prick Henry himself bricked up in that tunnel. Now We have to pull his Goods Trains." He grumbled.

"Hey it's not that bad. Besides the Fat Controller is soon getting a new engine from Germany to help us out." Said Edward calmly.

"Rabbish." Yelled James, who was still painted black." Those Germans are up to no good. He will probably mess everything up on the island."

"Since when are you a racist James. Not every German Person or Engine is bad. Just because they started both World Wars, doesn't it have to mean he wants to kill Jewish people and will yell al the time "Hail Topham."" Sighed Gordon annoyed from the arrogant engine.

Suddenly Thomas came with the express coaches for the big engine." Did you said we'll get a new engine." The little blue tank engine asked.

"Yeah, A German Class 01. I heard they're pretty strong. He could easily handle Henry's Jobs." Answered Edward and as soon the Guard blew his whistle, he went with his Goods Train to Wellsworth.

Meanwhile on the other side of the Island, at Vicarstown exactly, a black tender engine rolled over the Bridge to the Mainland." So this is Sodor...Ziemlich nett hier." The engine said with a slightly German accent. That engine was a German Class 01, or Baureihe 01 how they speak it in his home country. On his tender was in were the two letters "DB" written in white paint. And the number 1511 painted in the same colour on both sides of his cab.

"Ich kann es kaum erwarten hier zu arbeiten." He said in German and puffed with a happy expression on his face down the track.
