In a general sense, who was infected via bite/scratch ratter than getting the suspicious coal?
Salty - got attacked by a feral Porter. He actually doesn't mind being a reptile-like beast. It means he can go visit Rusty and crawl up Cranky's support beams to talk to him better, plus, he can swim!
Diesel - got scratched up by a feral Duck. Duck suddenly remembered the beef he had with him and just went up and scratched him, then left. He refused to elaborate.
Mavis and Daisy - got cornered by Thomas, Percy and Toby while trying to escape Ffarqhuarr.
Bertie - Got bitten while trying to keep his passengers safe.
Annie and Clarabelle - couldn't go anywhere and got a bit scratched up.
Henrietta - was attacked by a feral Toby. Tried reasoning with him, but it was too late.
Carolyn - was chased around a bit, but escaped. If she could, she would spray water at them. She now treats them like big kittens whenever they act all adorable, and treats Diesel 10 like a dinosaur if she ever sees him.
Cleo - managed to hide from the infected. She's still secretly afraid of them, and has to have Ruth reassure her that they're still the same engines she got to know before.
Ace - escaped, he still treats the engines and infected road vehicles as his friends, but he also treats them like Australian wildlife, and sometimes just pisses one of them off to see what happens. He tried that with Edward to see if he could get on the old guy's nerves. Spoiler; it worked after the 1000th time.
Paxton - got jumped by the NG engines, all at once. He's pretty unnerved now when he goes to the BM quarry and literally squeaks when an engine just suddenly pops out of one of the tunnels without warning. He also struggles to understand Rusty. That little diesel just sometimes spawns everywhere Paxton looks. Rusty's an definite enigma...

It is so funny to me how in Berite and Thomas's first race. Both drivers just allow it to happen. I expected them to at least tell them "no" but instead they are just like this:

Day 27-Thomas and the Rocket Sled
Traintober 2023
Other Stories
Day 27-Record Breaker
Thomas and the Rocket Sled
1979
The Island of Sodor was even busier than usual. It was the 150th anniversary of the Rain Hill Trials and a gala was being held on Sodor to celebrate.
Engines of all types from the mainland and all over the world were coming to visit. 
Thomas arrived at Tidmouth Harbor one morning to collect a unique piece of rolling stock. He had been enjoying the lead-up to the gala immensely. There were so many new and strange engines and cars to meet that at times his head spun. This might have been the strangest one yet. Sitting on a special flatbed was a heavy metal frame with a seat on it. Behind the seat sat something that reminded Thomas of the jet engines on the planes at Tidmouth airport.
"It's a Rocket sled," Nicole explained as the flatbed was coupled behind Thomas. "The Americans use it to test systems for their aircraft."
"It must be very fast then," Thomas said.
Samantha snorted, "Try faster than the speed of sound. "
Thomas gave a mischievous smirk, "No one tell the Gresley's."
The engineers in charge of the rocket sled were ensuring it was properly secured, so Nicole climbed back into the cab to drink her coffee while they waited.
***
The lead engineer looked dubiously at her coworker. "John prepared it? Are you sure it's okay?"
Her coworker rolled his eyes good-humoredly, "Relax Beth, John knows what he's doing."
Beth glared, "Is that why Jasmine is regrowing half her hair?"
"Everyone makes mistakes every once in a while?" He offered unconvincingly.
She snorted, "Paul, John makes weekly mistakes. If his dad wasn't an admiral..."
"He's not that bad," he protested with a laugh.
Beth rolled her eyes, "Yes he is, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he forgot to drain the fuel."
"He didn't forget to drain the fuel, here watch."
Before Beth could stop him, "Hey Crane!" He yelled up at Cranky.
Cranky was not enjoying the preparation for the Gala. It seemed every day more ships arrived with heavy locomotives and carriages, and he was expected to unload them all. "What is it?" He snapped towards the annoying human beneath him.
"Can you flip that lever with your hook?"
Had Cranky been in a better mood, or had had more sleep, he would have questioned the wisdom of flipping a lever on an unknown machine.
As it was, he gave the equivalent of a shrug. "Sure."
The lever flipped and for a moment everything was quiet.
"See? He didn..."
Thrrrremmmmmm
***
Thomas was patiently waiting for the engineers to finish when he heard the rocket rumble to life
"Are they testing the rocket?" He asked curiously.
Nicole's head snapped around to see the glow of the rocket's exhaust as it powered on.
"Brakes!"  She shouted, but it was too late.
Thomas began rolling forward as the rocket pushed him, faster and faster.
Samantha slammed on the brakes, but they quickly proved no match for the rocket's power.
Thomas whistled in alarm to the signal mam as he was pushed out of the docks and onto the mainline.
The signal men quickly threw the points and set the signals at danger. He rang control, "Clear the Mainline, we have a runaway."
***
Beth, Paul, and Cranky stared as the tank engine and sled raced out of view. 
"Uh...oops?"
Paul winced as Beth slowly turned to glare at him.
***
Thomas shot through Tidmouth Station, whistling as loudly as he could, startling James and Henry who were waiting with their trains.
Samantha released his brakes, realizing they could do nothing against the rocket but wear out.
Nicole hung on desperately as Thomas rocketed around the bend through Lower Tidmouth.
"Ooooooohhhh Lady!" Thomas cried as his speedometer broke 100 miles per hour, suddenly very grateful that Crovan's Gate had fit him with roller bearings. He would have worn through his old ones!
***
Percy had having a nice quiet morning when he heard Thomas. He had been taking a drink from the water tower when he heard the frantic whistling, and behind it, a dull roar.
"What in the name of..."
Thomas blasted past, the flyers on the station board flying from the force of his passing.
Percy sat there a long moment.
"It's too early for this."
"It's nearly tea time," his driver said.
"It's too early for this."
***
Several miles down the track Bertie heard Thomas's whistle rapidly approaching in the distance. "Wanna race Thomas?" He called eagerly.
Thomas roared past, whistling furiously.
"Never mind," Bertie said quietly.
***
Gordon was racing towards Wellsworth with the express when the radio in his cab went off.
Rain answered it.
"There's a runaway on track 3," she called out to Gordon and Amanda, "They'll overtake us soon."
Amanda smirked, "oh will they?" She said as she opened Gordon's regulator.
Gordon chuckled and surged ahead, even since he had been rebuilt back into a 3-cylinder in 72, he had taken every chance he could to test his speed.
As Rain shoveled coal like a woman possessed, Amanda watched the Speedometer creep up, smirking when it broke 100 mph.
Gordon however, frowned as he heard the runaway's whistle in the distance.
"Is that...Thomas?"
Rain snorted, "Don't be silly."
But it was.
Thomas raced up alongside the express coaches, he was going so fast the express seemed to be standing still.
"Hi Gordon, Bye Gordon," he managed to whistle as he shot past.
Amanda and Rain stared in shock.
"There's no way we can catch him," Amanda said in disbelief.
"But we have to try," Gordon called. He forced himself even faster, charging after the runaway No.1.
***
Finally, mercifully, the rocket ran out of fuel. Every joint and rod on Thomas ached. Even though Crovans Gates were known for over-engineering their rebuilds, Thomas was never meant to break 100, and he had far exceeded that.
To make matters worse, it had run out on Gordon's hill. Thomas wasn't sure he could make it up the hill without further damaging his motion. He rolled to a stop, panting heavily.
"Owwww." He moaned quietly.
"Are you alright?" Samantha asked, carefully setting his brakes and climbing down.
"I can't tell," Thomas winced, "maybe once everything cools down it'll be alright."
A deep whistle was heard as Gordon pulled up behind, curious passengers leaning out the window to look.
"Are any of you hurt?" The Pacific asked with concern.
"Nicole and I are alright. We're not certain about Thomas though."
"Is he well enough for me to push him up the hill?"
Thomas shifted his motion, "Probably better than rolling down."
Gordon gently buffered up and pushed Thomas and the sled up the hill to Maron station at the top, going slowly to keep from aggravating Thomas's motion
Jinx was waiting for them with a flatbed for Thomas. Gordon set off with the express again, as Thomas was loaded onto the flatbed, eager to make up the lost time.
The rocket car was left in the Marom sidings as Jinx set off for the works with Thomas.
***
The next day Gordon visited Thomas at the works as he was inspected for damage.
"So how's the new record holder?" The pacific teased.
Thomas had been lifted off of his wheels while they were inspected for damage.
He sighed in exasperation, "Not you as well."
Gordon smirked, "I'm afraid it's official."
"The steam speed record is for speed achieved under your own power," Thomas said baffled.
"Which my cousin still officially holds," Gordon agreed, "but you now hold the new record for the fastest a steam engine has traveled by rail."
Thomas stared for a moment, then groaned, "I'll never get your family to stop trying to adopt me now."
Gordon chuckled," You could just accept."
Thomas just sighed despondently.
A/N: Did I just adapt Thomas and the Jet Engine for my AU? Yes, yes I did.

Bulgy: good news Bertie! The railway will be shut down after today!
Bertie: oh great… what did you do?
Bulgy: I pulled straight into Knapford station’s parking lot! And with help from my driver, we hung up a sign right above the station that is sure to make people think twice about boarding a train! Yes sir! Fat hat might as well close up shop today! Because he will be seeing a sharp decrease in passengers after they have read what I have written! Passengers will stop going to Knapford station!
Bertie: uh huh… and what exactly does your sign say?
Bulgy’s sign:

What kind of dynamic do you think Thomas and Oliver have? Both tank engines are mascots of their respective branchlines, both run a push-pull service, and have coaches with names -- seems ripe for story potential!
I reckon they'd either love each other or hate each other, lol. Usually we as a fandom focus on the antagonism we suppose Thomas and Duck would have. But while I'm sure those two just don't "get" each other and are privately kinda mutually judgmental, I think they also just... stay out of each other's way.
Oliver, though. He made such a big splash when he arrived — the big engines were all fawning over him, a mere tank engine, lolllll — can you imagine what a funhouse-mirror world Thomas would have felt he was in, if he overnighted even once at Tidmouth during this period? — and TVS, reasonably I think, characterizes Thomas as being so suspicious of new tank engines. So I think Oliver really would just drive Thomas bonkers. If Thomas can get into a jealous tizzy over, like, friggin' Stanley, I don't know how Oliver would have failed to made Thomas (Great Western) green with jealousy.
Honestly, in Thomas's frames, I'd feel insecure. Oliver became famous for fleeing the braying diesel hounds of the B.R. all the way across the mainland and making a heroic escape to Sodor. Thomas (who at this point hadn't even left his safe, quaint little island for over 50 years) became famous for... leaving his guard behind and throwing a snowplough tantrum. Like. They are not the same. 😅
But, if Thomas can handle the major mid-life crisis I suspect Oliver's arrival kicked off for him without melting down, then I can also see the two just vibing. They have enough in common to feel competitive or to simply hit it off. They're both sociable and hasty and cheeky. Furthermore, the balance of respect might be restored because, while Oliver is more dashing, Thomas is definitely the leadership-y one and I don't think Oliver poses the slightest threat to that. Oliver just wants to live his life and have fun. He works very happily under Duck (who tbh I can see sometimes being a bit overbearing and fussy), he ain't in no way going to go getting under Thomas's wheels.
It might be fun if stormy weather/collapsed track/line repairs reduced trains on the Little Western for a while so Oliver is sent to the Ffarquhar to spot for one of the other engines. I feel like Oliver might be a bit like a bull in a china shop on that little line... Toby would get tired just watching him zoom around and terrorize the coaches, while all the other engines would feel pleasantly sedate and responsible by comparison. Thomas would develop a Pavlovian cringe every time Terence or Bertie greeted him with a shit-eating grin coz he knows they're about to congratulate him on what a fine job he's doing keeping order on his line (i.e., they're about to tell him the latest disaster Oliver caused). One day for Reasons Oliver has to take some coaches that aren't push-pull fitted and when he runs round the train (how annoying!) he forgets to get coupled and storms off down the line without them. Thomas would be at the junction venting about what a headache and a pest Oliver is. Gordon and Henry are shaking with laughter and with the feeling that this is just Sodor Karma (belatedly) at work. Back at Tidmouth Duck is raising exactly one eyebrow and saying Oliver has only ever had one incident on his line (unsaid: too bad for Thomas but some of us are Built Different). Daisy is confused when she returns from the Works and even Annie and Clarabel join in the loud cheers that greet her arrival.

Here on national geographic, we have a rare Bus Bear. Not too many of these kind of buses are seen nowadays. We've decided to call this one, "Bertie" even though that's already his name.

I love how on Thomas and friends there a rivalry between the Diesels engines and Steam Engines yet the show failed to realize that buses and cars are diesels too since their fuel is oil . So everytime somebody say that "dirty diesel" I can't help but think of Bertie and Bulgy in the background being like:
