well, you're one of em

I claim FRnerdyship rights as well having given 25 years of my quarter century of life to the FR, and with a father on the company board, and a stepgrandfather known only as Dr Jarvis, I have a family history of FRnerdyship as good as yours. Your only advantage is location (for which I am eternally jealous)

Sodor Little Rly is incorrect sir

hehehehe...It's actually "The Skarloey Rly" ^_^ Named after one of the towns it first passes through "Skarloey" and then the second town "Rheneas"

Duke's old rly is called "The Mid Sodor Rly"

And the son of James Spooner helped build it

Hence why Duke looks like Princess and Prince
