Bertram pulling a passenger train at the grand opening of the Mine Fairgrounds in the Summer of 1980. SKR #1 Skarloey and SKR #2 Rheneas can also be seen in the photo.
Bertram is an narrow-gauge tank-tender engine who is currently in service on the Skarloey Railway. He formerly worked on the Festiniog Railway and later worked on both the Mid Sodor Railway and the Sodor Gold Company. After the Gold Mine shut down in 1946 and shortly afterwards the Mid Sodor did as well, Bertram was left abandoned at the former mine for over 30 years until being rediscovered in 1979. He was then restored and put back into service.
Bertram is often nicknamed the "Old Warrior" by the railway staff because of his bravery. [1]
Bio
Bertram was built at Boston Lodge by George England in Minffordd, Wales in 1880. As a result, he was the eighth and final Ffestiniog Railway 0-4-0TT (England Class) locomotive to be built. Bertram would work on the Ffestiniog Railway for a 20 year period before being sold to the Island of Sodor to work at the Sodor Gold Mine on the Mid Sodor Railway. There, he was regauged from the 1 foot 11 1⁄2 inches (597 mm) rail gauge to the 2 feet 3 inches (686 mm) rail gauge.[2]
Bertram would work at both the mine and on the railway until 1 August 1946 when the Sodor Gold Mine shut down after the gold supply ran out. Five months later, the Mid Sodor Railway would close down as well to to the flooding of its last operating mine as well as a decline in mineral traffic. [3] He would be left abandoned at the former gold mine and would sit there for about 33 years.

Part of a Semi-Realistic project, In which the eastern front of WW2 ended in a stalemate and a 3-way Cold War occurs. This infobox itself is pretty much an ASB, so it gonna change in the future.

With the Eastern Front ending, the Germans look towards the British isles. Despite peacing out in 1941, the Nazis knew the Brits were going to rejoin the war sooner or later. Britain was still recovering its loss from the failed durkin evacuation and Air battle. The German invasion of the Island caught the British off guard. Despite this heavy fighting occurred and the German wasn't able to push up North. However, the Allies for some reason we're forced to retreat up north, possibly due to the large reinforcements from Germany. With the fall of London, and more reinforcement arriving, The remaining Allied troops were forced to evacuate the island to Canada. Scotland quickly declared independence, fearing the German rath. Eventually, the remaining parts of the Island fell to the Germans.
Yeah, I'm aware of that. Again This is probably gonna change.In a Nazi victory scenario, even in the most realistic case, an outright conquest of England isn't really plausible.

Not to mention if the United Kingdom does fall, the government is just going to flee somewhere else and form a government in exile. The British Empire is not gonna end just because Britain falls. The countries and colonies within the Empire (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, ect) would not fall to the Nazis if the UK does.In a Nazi victory scenario, even in the most realistic case, an outright conquest of England isn't really plausible.
Yeah, your right as well. I don't know why I wrote down "End of the British Empire" This whole infobox was just a test to see my skills.Not to mention if the United Kingdom does fall, the government is just going to flee somewhere else and form a government in exile. The British Empire is not gonna end just because Britain falls. The countries and colonies within the Empire (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, ect) would not fall to the Nazis if the UK does.
Edit: Oh, it look like the description got edited while I was writing the comment.

Ehhh. I doubt it, Maybe if the Apraheith government become really unpopular with the west that they abandon it, but they would probably need the allies they can get.I think the South African government could become a Nazi client state, but that's about it.
How does Benjamin Franklin live to be 100 years old?!
Footnotes:
1. Benjamin Franklin is murdered by a pro-Jackson mob, with Vice President Samuel Adams agreeing with Jackson not to claim the title of president for himself in exchange for being appointed as secretary of war in the second Jackson administration.
2. Although Arthur Wellesley's presidency is more of a military occupation until the signing of the treaty of Havana in 1824, many mainstream American historians count him as a legitimate president, though he is taught of in school as an "occupation/ military dictator that gave up power back to the U.S government."
3. As both Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln are impeached and removed from office by radical-freedom members of Congress, Speaker of the House Galusha A. Grow governs as next in the line of succession until the next presidential election.
4. President Raymond P. Shafer is impeached and removed from office by a hostile Freedom Congress for allegations of misuse of campaign funds and the soliciting of bribes by foreign governments.
5. Jimmy Carter is impeached and removed from office for the Iraq-MPLA affair
Lightning?How does Benjamin Franklin live to be 100 years old?!
Thanks dude! Did you mark them for likes yet?Love those TTE info boxes
Eh, seems legit to me. Good for Benjamin Franklin to live that long. Living for 100 years was such a rarity back then.Lightning?
Well, maybe President Burton Wheeler isn't so bad after all.Lindbergh would serve as President until his disappearance in September 1942, following which Wheeler ascended to become the 34th President of the United States.
Does Reagan get his name attached to the District because he never makes the jump to conservatism in the wake of the New Deal (going on to play a role in the downfall of the Carto Regime)?Hayden's victory in the Socialist primaries over the professorial Franklin Roosevelt III was widely expected, but the election itself was entangled in endless speculation. Socialists had reigned since the 1977 Constitutional Convention brought down the Carto regime, and the ferocious gains made by UC in the '93 elections seemed to indicate a current of dissatisfaction. But analysts overlooked key facts: UC broadly accepted the popular Socialist economic program, and their victory was energized into being by the failed proposal to decriminalize abortion.
The Red Kennedy
Silber, the maverick Governor of Massachusetts, was a vicious campaigner, which was a poor contrast with Hayden's affability and glamour. Buddy Roemer, running on the small-government, anti-corruption Integrity platform, was liked by all, but ran in the wrong year: had he run in 2005 instead, he would have had a considerable chance at becoming the next occupant of Washington-Reagan. In the end, there wasn't even a runoff.

Right on the money. He presides over the constitutional convention and serves as interim president from 1977-1985 before stepping down.Does Reagan get his name attached to the District because he never makes the jump to conservatism in the wake of the New Deal (going on to play a role in the downfall of the Carto Regime)?
