Description
So engines, Cassandra King, Pregasus and Dominion of Fauntasia were send down under to tour and promote the Pedigron test series against Fauntasia. Boost support and carry for the fans between each city.

While Pregasus moved up north to North Fauntasia, then to East Kangaroo, Kimberly and New Koala.
The unnamed engine was brought over to double head with Cassandra King while, Dominion of Fauntasia got the national team colours of green and golden yellow painted on it.

At the start of the tour, Pedigron defeating the Fauntasia "A" team, then the Capricornia team, Pedigron fans cheered and said how the tour was going to be a success.

It did not happen. The unnamed and unbranded engine worked hard with Cassandra going between each city touring, and promoting the event, and watching each Test on huge monitors. With a higher toned whistle and no standard paint, it was or retained "photographic grey" livery.
Pedigron team could not cope with the harder pitches and very hot weather, or just the climate change.
Pedigron team lost heavy by more than 20 to 30 points in each game, the unnamed engine got the nickname "Grey Lady" as of her colouring and sleak curves.
People of Britain/Pedigron (maybe Australia/Fauntasia) know the Grey Lady as the name of a famous or well known ghost.
The Grey Lady lead the team to each city.

Thousands of Fauntasian fans started to turn up for the arrive of the train, not to see the Pedigron team but, to see the Grey Lady. Grey Lady liking the attention but, did not really notice over time, the shirts and colours of people photographing her were turning from red and white to green and gold.
She just liked being centre of attention, and noticed and not just ignored or forgotten about.

Fauntasia loved her, as she was seen as a bad luck charm for the Pedigron team, her clear white smoke, seen as insense clearing up death. The Grey Lady as of her name sake, was and brought death.
The Pedigron team went on to lose all five games. The Pedigron fans did not talk to her any more.

Cassandra reunited with Pregasus and the pair continued to (Pedigronian Dominion of) Western Fauntasia, with the red and white carriages. Grey Lady was not. She was left behind in a siding at Sitney Central station, with her "fans".

The Grey Lady becoming rather famous, and even left in City of Sitney or Adelaide. She was given her own carriages and toured about with the Ashes in her carriages, making her feel wanted (and warm inside).

She might not be as strong as other engines but, for what occured between November and January, the Fauntasia fans love her, even if they will not tell her the true or real reason. She still has no new colours or ownership but, the Mayor of Adelaide did commission her name plates saying "Grey Lady" so she is happy about that as well.
Her "friends" Cassandra and Pregasus are two thousand miles away.

What adventures and experiences shall the Grey Lady have? Who knows?
