Trainz Railfanning Pt 102: Thomas & Friends Meet British Rail

Thanks to the invention of portals, British Rail built an extension to their railroad that leads to Shining Time. They then discovered the magic railroad. They decided to test it out. They brought one of their HST trains and drove it down the railroad. They were amazed when they made it to the other side and saw talking trains. "Imagine how much money we could make if we had these trains," they thought. "We must find the owner of this railroad!" They later parked the train at Knapford Station. Thomas and his friends were in awe when they saw the HST. They've never seen anything like it. Anyway, the drivers talked to The Fat Controller. . They said, "If you let us borrow two of your engines, we'll give you some of ours." He agreed. "But you'd better treat them right," he said. British Rail decided to borrow Henry and Gordon. In return, they gave The Fat Controller two HST sets, two Pendolino sets, a class 90, an A3 and an A4. After the railroad linking England with Sodor was complete, the two railroads agreed to operate it jointly and still exchange trains every once in a while.
