gotta open up commissions again at this rate so I can become a full Model Train Guy because this is not a cheap hobby to get into jfc

#grandpa's old locomotive is getting properly repaired and serviced by the old nerds at the local model train shop #and I have discovered a model in the same gauge of the big boy I have met in person (4018) and I am experiencing Longing #problem is it is. Expensive. Cause grandpa left us O gauge which is the bigger version #as opposed to more common and cheaper HO #and none of the british model companies make O gauge so there's less to choose from in that regard too #at least I'm a fcking normie and the locomotives I like are the basic bitch ones so it shouldn't be too hard to find models for them #no wonder the whole model club was old retired dudes who can blow their life savings on little choo choos

The next engine from my files, the British Railways Standard class 9. Fun fact:  I made Murdoch a girl in my AU, as appears in my story impulse.

Frankenstein's Engine

The British Rail Class 13 is something I have Opinions on in the context of a world where the trains are living. Imagine how existentially horrifying this must be for the poor units involved. The Master unit at least gets to retain *some* of its individuality since it's the one in control, but the Slave Unit? It's been stripped of it's sense of individuality and very sense of self as an engine, it's a pawn for it's unwilling, horrified sibling.

Imagine if the units were chosen based on how much BR deemed that engine worth? Were the Slave units troublemakers? Did BR decide that rather than cutting their losses on a "Bad Engine", they'd give the poor things a fate *worse* than Scrap?
