S1, EP2: The Marklin Engine (Audio Story)

Happy New Year everyone! I said I would be back and I am pleased to announce that I will be more productive this year. Following with how much I enjoyed doing 'James and the Old Coaches', I wanted to do another 'Thomas & Friends' audio story, this one a little different than the previous installment.
In this story, the engines are annoyed with a tank engine named Marklin, who has been on the railway long before Thomas' arrival. After Percy witnesses an argument between Gordon and Marklin, he feels that something is not right with the old engine.
This story is based off a true fact that during the first series of Thomas & Friends, there was an unseen engine working in the background of some of the episodes and following Behind the Scenes content, I wanted to do a little story based around this unknown engine. This video can be enjoyed by Thomas & Friends fans young or old, so I hope you will all enjoy this new story. Many best wishes for 2022 and I will see you all soon...

    I do love how Marklin has Puffa's whistle. Lovely foreshadowing.

    The Marklin Engine appeared in Off The Rails assisting in Gordon's Rescue from the Ditch you can see 2 headlamps passing by those lamps belonging to Marklin

    You are correct. This story takes place after the first series, similar to 'James and the Old Coaches', another of my stories. That story in particular explains what became of the old coaches after the first series and why the red branch line coaches appeared from series two onward

    Fun fact after series 3 of Thomas and friends the marklin engine was actually torn apart into pieces and used in the background for scrap engine parts although they did use his chassis for stuff like Toby and his chassis can also be briefly seen in the episode busy going backwards where it can be seen pushing towed and the trucks

    Wow, brilliant to acknowledge the background Marklin engine, which I learnt pretty much about in my adulthood! You gotta feel sorry for him if nobody notices him ever since Thomas came. Also nice to hint this story is connected to Tugs with him moving to Bigg City Port.

    I believed you Kiefer Adams, I first thought that Puffa was the engine from Tugs, but now I understand why after he was formally known as Marklin, he was named after the model making company Marklin as it known to be then, so I’m glad he has an overhaul and everything, I thought that I managed to recognise him, but he looks very special and really useful too

    Marklin kinda sounds a bit like Forte from _Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas._ That "fade into the background" bit got me thinking. Also, like Forte, Marklin blames Thomas for ruining it for him, making him feel less important and needed. At least he doesn't go mad and try to bring the house down. 😜 There's even a inkling of Scar in him when he calls Thomas a "little blue runt" who came along, and Gordon is all "That little blue runt is my son and your future king." 😉 Meanwhile, a fine story about Marklin and a fine way to link him to _TUGS._
