"Well, OK than, carry on and let me know when it's ready. I would much like to see how she..it works if possible." Solar looks at the picture. "Do you think you can have her all polished up like the photo before we leave...Might as well travel to Ponyville in style."

Frost smiled and laughed at her peck to his cheek. "It is very exciting! Although you better not room me with your colt friend Solar....or..whatever is name was.....ahhhh just kiddin you!" He said as he gave her another noogie. "Look at you....already got your own band....your growing up so fast!" He said with a fake crying face

"Awe hush up you silly stallion, this ain't 'my' band...It's our band. And I know you and Soaly will get along alright," Sunny muttered as she escaped his noogie and stuck her tongue out. She was about to say more until Repsol entered backstage with his sporadically happy attitude, making Sunny jump a little as her attention was redirect towards him. "Howdy there! You're Repsol right? Well I can't tell ya how happy we are to have ya in our band!" the mare trumpeted back before giving NightStrike a curious look. "...who's that feller over there?"

Repsol pointed a hoof in the direction of Nightstrike. "This stallion here..." He put a hoof around the stallion as if he was showing a good friend around town. "Is a guitar player! I havn't heard him play something yet, but he claims to be good, and i feel he's good enough for this here band you're getting started!"  Repsol released Nightstrike and looked back to Sunny, sporting the most convincing smile he could muster at the moment.

NightStrike blushed at what Repsol said. "Yeah well I guess I have practiced quite a lot, I'm not the best of the best but I'd not consider myself bad. I just hope I'm good enough" He smiled at Sunny. Then he played a bit with his hooves "well nice first impression I make." He sighed "I haven't even brought my guitar. Didn't expect Repsol to take me along to be honest."

@, Rut-Light re-opened the wooden gate and looked at the guard, "It's going to be better than what's on the picture.  I don't plan on letting Sunny down."  Rut-Light said as he shut the gate once again and headed back into the Rail Yard once more, willing and able to fix the locomotive, give it a new coat of forest green paint and tidy up the appropriate amount of coaches for the time being.  The old yard was dead silent, nothing moved save for the trees, and nothing made a sound except for his hooves stepping on the rocky gravel; he saw a giant watch tower used by guards at night, he saw The Works where multiple trains were repaired and re-painted and finally he saw what he needed, the Train Sheds.  

 

He trotted over to the shed doors and examined the plaques that were nailed on the left door of each proper space for each locomotive; as he examined each one he recognized some of the locos: 'The Flying Equestrian' was the first he passed, and he remembered it being a massive, green Steam Train that had pulled almost every passenger train on this line at least 50 times while it was in service, but as Rut-Light opened the large double doors of the next shed he saw the Diesel he was looking for; the Class 50.

"A guitar player huh? I know a bit myself but it's all acoustic," Sunny nodded with a beaming smile, trying to be as friendly as possible to make NightStrike more comfortable. "And don't be worryin' over not havin' your guitar. Let's just say I can see ya as a good player just by lookin' at ya," she winked. "Welcome to the band sir!" Sunny then jumped over to the pair and pulled both the stallions in for a hefty country-mare hug before releasing her strong grip and turning around to Frost. "Alrighty Frosty! What else are we missin'?"

Halfway home, Freezia facehoofed-realizing she had forgotten her saddlebag backstage. Moaning, she changed course and turned around in a panic, trotting until she stopped a few feet away from the door. Darn it. The security guard won't let me in without one. Buck! How am I supposed to get my saddlebag now?

(Time to get this rolling on rails again!)

Rut-Light had spent the last 20 minutes diligently examining the diesel, checking to see if the darn thing could even run anymore considering that its wheels have been planted on the rails and have not moved an inch for close to 23 years.  After he finished examining the 'Hoover', Rut-Light opened the rusty, metallic cab door and climbed into the cab of the locomotive; seeing all the leavers, switches and buttons made him think back to his time when the Railway was still in business, Rut-Light felt at home inside the cab of a train.  Softly he said, "Hello again, been a while hasn't it?" he whispered as he brushed his hoof along the controls and finally his hoof graced to top of the ignition system; and the key to it was hanging right on the gun metal gray wall next to him.  "Well everything checked out ok so far, your not in the best condition Hoover; but let's see if your engine even turns over."  

 

Rut-Light lifted the key from its place with his hoof and plunged the key into the ignition key slot, inhaled slightly, and twisted the key.  Much to his astonishment and joy, the 16 cylinder, 246 litre Diesel engine came to life, slowly at first but then the engine got going and suddenly the engine roared to life.  "No way," Rut-Light said in awe, "It still runs!  Sunny, we got a train!"  he yelled as he let the RPMs build up for a few seconds before engaging the reverser to forward, setting the brakes to 0% and set the throttle to a low 9%; and the Class 50 started to roll along the rails, albeit at a mere 5 mph.  Rut-Light felt like he was a bit younger driving a train again.
