Two night time sprite scenes? Let's go.

*Story*
(20th December, 2023)
Due to an upcoming thing for New Year, Jacob was asked to see if he can get some equipment for the big engines at Tidmouth MPD. After failing conventionally, he went to the former Tidmouth docks where the Sudrian Preservation Society (SPS) store their replica W&S Stroudley bogie coaches and used by the NWR Film Studio. When he got there, it was already dark and very late.
Jacob: Dang it. Too late to ask them now. (steams into the storage shed and finds their film camera and equipment for it) Don't suppose they don't mind us borrowing these for a bit?
The former Victorian Railways engine went to the old turntable, was turned around 180 so he could be facing the right way, and went back to the shed. He moved the vans before he shunted what he came for, all while making very little noise which could wake up the NWRF crew.
Jacob: Hope they don't mind? (turns on his headlamp and departs once coupled). Good thing I'm not the only one on this railway with a headlamp. Hawkesbury, Mehano, Newport, Roger and Porter have headlamps just as bright as mine. (steams away quietly)
While his headlamp was rather bright, it did conceal him for a possible identification if sighted. At the roundhouse, Gordon saw that Jacob had brought the NWRF's equipment.
Gordon: Did they let you have it?
Jacob: Uh.......
Hawkesbury: (sighs) Old convicts certainly die hard, eh mate?
Leicester City: So he stole them?
Jacob: They were fast asleep, and I wasn't going to wake up all of Tidmouth to ask them.
Ashley Manor: Whatever the case, their stuff is here.
Mehano: Yeah. We still need to make that film for New Years, y'all.
Henry: Why do I feel this is a bad idea?
Gordon: All in favour of borrowing the NWRF's camera equipment until we're finished with it, say "aye". All opposed, hold your peace.
All: Aye.
Gordon: Well, that settles it.
Before they went to sleep, Ashley Manor had a note written and while the NWRF crew were still asleep, placed the note at their storage shed just to let them know where their film camera and van of equipment had went.
The note in question: "Dear North Western Film Studio Crew. On behalf of the engines at Tidmouth Motive Power Depot, I do apologise for the absence of your camera and van of associated equipment. The thing is that us at Tidmouth had been asked to make a film of Christmas operations in conjunction with the Sudrian Preservation Society. We sent one of our engines to fetch some equipment and you guys were the last shot of the dice, but yous were already fast asleep and he didn't want to wake up half of Tidmouth with his whistle. I hope this clears up for why your equipment is missing but don't fret, we are giving it back once we've finished what is needed to be done and I hope you engines are understanding and not get mad at us 'Big Engines'. Sincerely, NWR (ex-GWR) No. 7800 'Ashley Manor'.

Hope you guys of the North Western Railway Film Studio aren't going to take it out on the Tidmouth MPD crew. It was the last shot of the dice, yous were asleep and Jacob's whistle is a VR 5-chime, which can wake up all of Tidmouth with even a low blast. They are going to give them back as it's for something they need to make for New Years celebrations. If yous wonder why Jacob is producing black smoke, he's oil-fired and as a result, he can't help that.
