I have made my own stories that feature my own Characters and also some gathered from Non-Canonical Characters and Videos on Youtube with Credit given to the Original Creators though some modified by me (Dont Sue Me Over This Im Never Gonna Publish These) and the Return of old ones such as Duck, Oliver, Donald and Douglas. These stories arent official Canon though I consider them to go after The Last Season in order to not mess with any Official Canon of the Show. though no new engines are shown though Silly Billy, Whiff and Stanley might be shown. Also I Have my own Character named after me (Like Invader ZIM Fanon Character Invader Ian) Ian he is an engine come from America taken to Britian and later on Loan from the British Railway. TUGS character Puffa also makes Cameos and other engines from TUGS as well despite they come from the 1920s. For this Book there are a Total of 132 Stories.
