Description
"In 1934, the Railway was desperate for money. The board of directors decided that Lily and the older engines were worth more as scrap. The fat director wasn't too happy about it, but there wasn't much he could do. But he did save Neil. I think Lily was sent to the scrapyards on Edward's line, the one where he found Trevor. At least, that's where the others went." Thomas, Little Western Legacy."Only two of us made it... halfway across the English Channel, we were spotted by a U-Boat. Big Mac peeled off and distracted it, while Hercules and I continued on. That's the last we heard of Big Mac.... He could have been sunk or he could have escaped. I just haven't heard more about him." Ten Cents, Dime For Trouble.
Taking place during WW2 when Ten Cents arrived with Operation Minnow, the tugboat tells his story to Thomas about how he had lost Big Mac when he held off an enemy U-Boat, while he and Hercules carried on. Thomas also tells Ten Cents about how he lost Lily due to her being 'scrapped' (IE, lost at sea, though he doesn't realise this).
We don't know what happened to Big Mac, but in a conversation I had with on YT, he said he didn't seal Big Mac's fate yet.

As we can know what happened to the other railways. Since we're showed Neil, yet are not told what happened to him.

He was only used for one flashback in Very Old Engines out of necessity because none of the NWR engines would have been around when Skarloey was young.Β

True. Though it would be interesting to know more about him.Β

And there's one question unanswered about Skarloey and Rheanes when they were young (well, more so the latter)

How did Rheanes get HIS cab?

FlyGuyRob In reply to TobyandMavisforever [2018-04-12 12:24:41 +0000 UTC]
That is a good questionΒ
Perhaps a derailment or something got the staff together to agree that he too should get a cab. And most likely would stop any problems happening on rainy days.

Well, I actually used this story: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6L1zbm⦠as the reason for Rheanes getting his cab. Just imagine this is a flashback to Skarloey and Rheanes' younger days and Rheanes doesn't have his cab for the first half of the episode.

Perhaps surprised. Like maybe somebody like Rusty or Ivo Hugh asked Rheneas how he got his cab, and he and Skarloey told them how.Β

Yep, he might want to know more about them.Β
