That’s just a Creepypasta made by Urbankiller135, explaining about a deleted prologue of the TV show’s episode “Ghost Train”/“Percy’s Ghostly Trick”, that was cut out in fear of being too frightening for the target audience. Many others, including Kanefan701 and 22Tesla have given their own adaptations to the story, with the former having done a full movie about it and two sequels. I guess that Urbankiller135 made his own take on Percy’s Ghost Engine and named him Timothy, and based him on an LB&SCR E2 Class tank engine like Thomas, but was painted silver and numbered 0, and was being possessed by evil spirits, whom they caused mechanical failures, and was killed by them alongside his engers and crew by falling off the cliff and into the Hawin Ab bellow, where the Cronk Viaduct is to be built during the formation of the North Western Railway, and was later resurrected as a ghost engine, running along the line of the viaduct on the date of the accident. Also, Timothy’s original face mask was Thomas’ unused elderly face which was made as a joke to David Mitton. However, I prefer the actual take on Percy’s Ghost Engine that we know in “Ghost Train”. And even though the Ghost Engine as a general character was the creation of Wilbert Awdry, the engine itself was never shown or described on what basis of engine it was. It wasn’t until Britt Allcroft, the creator of the TV show adapted the story and made the Ghost Engine based on Percy’s design as it reuses his model covered in white streamers. And we don’t know how that ghost engine fall to his death into a gap where the Cronk Viaduct was to be built. And even though the engine plunging into the gap and shrieking like a lost soul and was then revived as a ghost, haunting the viaduct, is just a pretend ghost story from a horror film or horror TV show Percy’s driver saw on television, Why both Awdry, and later Allcroft, didn’t make a scene of the engine falling off the cliff and perished before his ghostly resurrection? Is it because that they don’t wanna frighten children with a not kid-friendly death? Well, Awdry did make a not kid-friendly death of an engine when he wrote the story “Bad Look-Out” from Railway Series Book No. 19 - “Mountain Engines”, where Godred suffered a horrible accident by rolling down the mountain at Devil’s Back, damaging horribly beyond repair. He was scrapped, and his parts were used to repair the other engines. At the end of the story, it is stated that Skarloey and Rheneas believed that the story of Godred’s demise that Culdee told them about is made up. But the accident did happened, and the reason why Wilbert Awdry killed Godred and amended this story for “Mountain Engines” to give it a child-friendly ending, which states that Skarloey and Rheneas believed that Culdee made up the story, and have “The Island of Sodor: Its People, History and Railways” reveals that Godred had indeed crashed and was then dismantled for scrap is because most likely, the liberty was taken, so is not to upset younger readers.
Speaking of Thomas the Tank Engine. In the Stephen King novel the Wastelands. There’s an antagonistic character known as Blaine the Mono who is supposedly based off of Thomas the Tank engine, albeit it’s more of a twisted parody of the original. Kinda like how Chucky (the Good Guy dolls) is based off of Teddy Ruxpin.

Well, it’s not. This was a reference to “Ghost Train” from Railway Series Book No. 26 - “Tramway Engines”, the last Railway Series book written by the Reverend W. Awdry, and it’s Season 2 adaptation of the same name from “Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends”. And even though the Ghost Engine as a general character was the creation of Wilbert Awdry, the engine itself was never shown or described on what basis of engine it was. It wasn’t until Britt Allcroft, the creator of the TV show adapted the story and made the Ghost Engine based on Percy’s design as it reuses his model covered in white streamers.

And even though the engine plunging into the gap and shrieking like a lost soul and was then revived as a ghost, haunting the viaduct, is just a pretend ghost story from a horror film or horror TV show Percy’s driver saw on television, was the engine falling into the gap supposed to exist? Was the engine used to work on Sodor long before Thomas came in 1915? Did that engine perished during the early years of the North Western Railway?

Rainbow: The ghost pony! Mom saw it last night!
Rarity and Applejack: Where?!
Rainbow: She didn’t say. Ooh, it makes my wings wobble just to think of it!

“The others didn’t believe in your ghost.”
“Neither do I; it was a pretend ghost on television.”
Rainbow Dash was disappointed.
You mean this whistle?
