I would like to make a group project, the 3WSR Railway Series. I'd like to have the first book written by all of us, one story per person. If you can that would be great!

What would this be? Taking some of our story arcs and writing them Railway Series style?

No, it's exactly like writing one of the ERS books on SiF, but the bonus is that we can incorporate things from the 3WSR fandom in it.

Here's my story, based on a TV Series episode. Horrid Lorry Based on the story by Britt Allcroft & David Mitton
One evening, The Fat Controller came to see the engines. "You're work has been good," he told them, "and I'm very pleased with you. However, you need a little help. Therefore, I'm bringing some lorries to the Island. Please make them feel at home." The engines were surprised. "Lorries!" sniffed James. "They might steal our jobs!" grunted Gordon. Percy was also quite upset.
One morning, Percy was sent to collect some truck from the Docks. When he arrived, he saw the lorries. They had just been unloaded from a big ship. He decided to talk to them. “Hello,” he said. “Huh!” snorted one of the lorries. “A little green goblin on wheels!” “What?” “You’ll be scrapped; just you wait and see!”
Later that day, Thomas and James met one of the lorries. It was just as rude to them as with Percy. “A red devil and a blue puffball. Scrap for the scrapyard if you ask me!” “Pah!” said Thomas. “Stuff and nonsense!” said James. “We engines run this Island!” “We work harder than you ever will.” “Yeah right!” snorted the lorry, and it roared away.
Toby was next. “We don’t need him here today,” said the Quarry foreman. Toby saw the lorry. The lorry smirked. “You’re useless and old!” it said. Toby was surprised. “I may look old, but I’m not useless.” “Why don’t you just toodle off?” “Toodle!”
Toby went to the flour mill, but it was the same there. “Times are a-changing, I’m afraid,” said the manager. “Let’s go, Toby,” said his driver. Toby chuffed sadly away.
The line ran past a rocky gorge. Engines, being in the valley, were quite safe, but vehicles had to tackle a steep, rocky road. The lorry from the quarry was roaring up at a tremendous rate. “He’ll be in trouble soon,” thought Toby. He was right. The lorry suddenly came off, and with a crash, it fell right off the cliff! It was all it’s driver could do to jump clear. “Rotten roads!” he muttered.
The two other lorries shared a terrible fate as well. The one from the flower mill had broken down due to being overloaded, and the other one had accidentally reversed at the Docks and rolled straight into the sea! All three weren't nearly as cocky now. When Thomas saw all three later on flatbeds, he laughed. “Well, well, well! The Brothers Grimm: Smashed, Broken, and Sunk!” The lorries never returned, and the engines still work hard, to make sure they never will.

Also, don't worry if you're not a technical buff; I'm not, either. The nice thing with this is, we don't have too many rules for it; thus, the quality may not be as good, but the writing is good.

I'm making mine a Skarloey Storms Through rewrite with Skarloey replaced with Ivo Hugh, what do you think of this idea?

Sounds interesting, but maybe we ought to wait with that for another book that focuses on the Skarloey Railway?

Probably.
In fact I might make that the second 3WSRWS book, I'll make 2 stories and someone else makes the other 2. Also, maybe we should make this first book like Henry The Green Engine and give it 5 stories, because Wellsworth is coming.

I'm doing a scene that takes place sometime during the World Steam Tour, and explains how the evil colorfolk successfully snuck aboard.
