Nevermore Academy's staff had recently been piecing together a good location for their next major school trip, and they were getting absolutely nowhere. That was, until they stumbled upon a little island, north-west of England, called "Sodor," home of the North Western Railway. The staff, for some reason, decided this would be a great place to take the students, and that's exactly what they did. The announcement came over the intercom system one afternoon during the final class of the day.

"Attention students! Our staff have decided that our major field trip of the year shall be an overseas trip to the British Island of Sodor! We hope you all enjoy the trip!"

Enid: "Sodor? Like, the place with the Thomas trains? That actually exists?"

Bianca: "I... Apparently. What?"

Wednesday: "Good to know they're resorting to false advertising to get us excited. Unfortunately for them, however, it isn't working."

As it turns out, false advertising was out of the question, as only a few days later, Wednesday and the gang found themselves situated on the platform of a station called "Wellsworth," waiting for their train. Soon, the train arrived. The coaches weren't the largest, but they looked very smart. At the head of the train was a blue tender engine, with the number 2 on his tender, and he looked rather old.

Enid: "O. M. G!!! Hi Thomas!"

Wednesday: "Enid, anyone with functioning eyes could see that the locomotive you're looking at isn't Thomas."

Enid: "Oh... Eheheh..."

Agnes: "So who are you?"

The engine responded to Agnes with a kind and gentle voice, which told them all that this was an experienced engine.

Edward: "Good day, everyone. My name is Edward, it's lovely to meet you all! And Enid, was it?"

Enid: "Yeah! And I'm so sorry for calling you Tho-"

Edward: "Hohoho! You don't have to worry, Enid! You're not the first, and you won't be the last, either."

Enid: "Phew! I was worried I offended you!"

Bianca: "He's a pretty cool looking engine."

Pugsley: "Looks old."

Eugene: "Pugsley!"

Edward: "Ohohohoho! I'm very old, Pugsley, let me tell you. I've seen quite a number of things in my time!"

Ajax: "Ooh... Cool..."

Kent: "So, Eddie. Where are we heading?"

Edward: "Just up my branch line, young man. We'll terminate at Brendam, remain there for a time, then head back a half hour later."

Divina: "Doesn't ring a bell."

Edward: "I assure you, it's a very memorable place once you've visited! Oh, and a word of advice. Don't try making small talk with the large, green crane. His name's Cranky, and that's a name he lives up to!"

Bruno: "Who names someone Cranky? That's asking for trouble."

Josephine: "Yeah... So, can we get on?"

Edward: "Of course! Come along now, we mustn't be late!"

Wednesday: "In we go. This'll be fun."
