Kirk Ronan Refinery

Bio
Mr. Nelson Micheal built Kirk Ronan Refinery to carry out more oil around Sodor and The Other Railway. Percy was the first to deliver supplies to the Refinery and bring some tankers to Brendam Docks. Mr. Michael had purchased the Horrid Lorries to transfer his oil and fuel around Sodor roads. But Percy accidently set a fire that destroyed most of the Refinery. the Lorries and Percy managed to get the Workmen out just before the Fire Brigade arrived. Mr. Micheal then decided hat it would be safer if diesels ran the Refinery.

Later on, Mr. Michael signed a joint ownership contract with Sir Topham Hatt, giving him Norman, Dennis, Splatter and Dodge to work on the reconstruction of Kirk Ronan Refinery. Mr. Michael then purchased D261 and D199 to help run the Refinery when Sir Topham Hatt needs the other diesels. They tried to prove themselves to be more useful than Steam Engines, but they only jammed the turntable and made Mr. Michael's office collapse. Mr. Michael then sent them to the Dieselworks.
