    An excellent story, as always. I'd expect nothing less from the great ButterflyCoffee. Love this Julie-centric special; I feel like we haven't heard enough from her. I also appreciate you giving such an exciting story without needing most of the classic cliches that accompany such tales, like having Julie find shelter in a tunnel, rushing in at full speed and then slamming herself into reverse to stop inches from the opposite mouth. And yet, I can totally empathize with Julie here, feeling the weariness at the state of things, and the frustration that there was no sign of it ever ending. I imagine she and Lizzie might have a thing or two to talk about, seeing as the elder Churchward's been through all this before, and worse.
    Speaking of engines being caught in air raids, I wonder if any of the Newton Abbot gang would get word of what happened further east, when a Southern tank engine was attacked by a German fighter, and while it met a sad end when the fighter's cannon shells caused it's boiler to explode, it at least managed to take the fighter down with it when a piece of debris lopped off the plane's wing.

    Edit: Just caught it; 7:34-7:42. Did I catch a reference to the classic Burt Lancaster film "The Train"? "You can't run through an air raid!" "Watch me. Fire up that engine!"

      If it was a reference to 'The Train', I didn't catch it myself - you'd have to ask Mr Joj. Thank you for the kind words otherwise!

      Yeah it was a reference to the train movie, somewhat. And yeah I know of the german bomber story, quite an ironic one at that.

      TheSuperBrine Given we're in the war arc right now, being blown up in the face or boiler is a sure fire shot. Or if you derail badly enough, internal damage or drowning depending on where. MrJoj also suggests simply drifting off to an endless deep sleep if an engine isn't steamed for a couple of months unless taken in for repair or overhaul.

    I must say, another great addition to your series. However there is one thing I would question related to the second half of the Tempest episode - I always felt you were straining there to find a reason for how Caitlyn got her name, and were pushing it quite a bit with what came out. If you were to ever consider redoing that episode with a more convenient ending, I can relate to you an incident that took place partly in my witness while visiting the North Norfolk Railway. The train my dad and I were on departed Holt without the son of a couple who were in the same carriage, because he was in the toilet when the guard blew his whistle. The stationmaster was able to communicate to the one at Weybourne, and he was reunited with his parents after being taken there by one of the volunteers in their car. Perhaps then the incident in Tempest can play out as such, and Caitlyn continues to show her concern after that, and, through her driver, starts a regular correspondence with the girl's mother, which leads to her getting her name. If you do decide to, don't forget to acknowledge me for the idea.
