#scottish engines

[mean-scarlet-deceiver]

In March 1939 the LMS sends Stranraer a Class 5 to test. It goes very well and soon Stranraer is awash in secondhand Black Fives. The funny part is "a hard core of ex-Caley men" at Northern Division headquarters have feels! They are OFFENDED that the Stranraer men prefer the new engines to "their incomparable 60 class" and so they insist they repeat the test with a Caley 4-6-0!

The test appears to go sadly and Stranraer's like "Hmm yes, thank you for that interesting experience (we'll be sticking with the Staniers)" and headquarters insist, insist, "[a]s a great favour," that they keep the test engine.

#thanks guys #the caley management's devotion to their stupid engines is actually rather touching in a hilarious way #real true railway stuff #... but... wait for it... #caledonian engines #scottish engines #glasgow and south western engines #david l. smith

Happy Leap Year everyone! :D (Or Leap Year Day?? Happy February 29th??? whatever xD)

Drew this a little while back as a sort of belated birthday present for myself (hence their poorly drawn party hats LOL), but it turned out pretty cute so I thought I'd share! :D Also just cause I thought it'd be fun to post something on February 29th because hey, it only ever comes around every 4 years, so why not? 

Duck has quickly climbed the ranks into my all-time favourite TTTE characters (All you Duck lovers out there; I 1000% get why you love him now xD), so here's him and the Scottish twins together just for funsies. :D 

Don't worry about Oliver, though, I 100% plan on drawing the entire Little Western gang together! ...eventually xD

So yeah! Here's just a fun lil doodle of my favourite trains for everyone to enjoy! :D And as always, thanks for looking everybody!~ ^w^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Donald, Douglas & Duck (c) TTTE Art (c) Me! <3

Donald and Douglas in your AU please?

Man I though you'd never ask

I kinda went off of my usual humanization formula on this but I think it helps add little more uniqueness to their design.

The blue and black livery are both canon and are interchangeable like how the skarloey railway can switch their livery to either the TV or railway series in this au.

In my future modern era illustrations of them, I'll give them separate liveries colors to differentiate.

Oh and it's 9/10 what a coincidence, happy day to them :D

Yo Donald.

You think you can watch the baby for me? (Can't babysit her rn I'm currently in a mental crisis :P)

Have fun! :D

"Uhm.... Sure?......"

(Fun Facts: Humanoids get very nervous and anxious taking care of human babies or children, especially babies since they are very tiny. Most humanoids get scared that they'll accidentally hurt them due to their huge size compared to humans.) So be careful giving a humanoid a human baby.

What in the Sam Hill...

Before I tell you this story you must know the characteristics of the two men principally involved, drivers Sam Mitchell of Corkerhill and Sam McKnight of Girvan. Both were highly competent enginemen. Both knew that this was so, but Mitchell regarded all Girvan men as only one jump off the plough-boy, and lost no opportunity of taking them down. Both Mitchell and McKnight were well-educated men with a fine command of correct English, and Mitchell has a blisteringly sarcastic tongue. To hear those two conducting a conversation in polite phrasing, was a delight — McKnight infinitely watchful, weighing his words, Mitchell with the eye of an eagle, ready to pounce. They reminded me of two dogs, stalking round one another, with their hair bristling!

Good set-up. This too is yuri.

(Incidentally their engines at the time were, respectively, a Fowler Compound and an ex-G&SW Manson. The Compounds were distressingly prone to slipping on the Stranraer road in wet conditions.)

On 15 October 1930, Mitchell was on the 4.10pm through to Stranraer with No 1179. Harry McGeorge was firing. It was a beast of a night, stormy and wet, rain changing to sleet as the train went up the hill. They got to Girvan and the two rear coaches were detached for Turnberry, leaving 196 tons to go on south. The man with the Turnberry coaches gave them a push the length of the platform, then departed, and the van was scarcely off the platform end when No 1179 went into a furious slip and stuck. Most drivers would then have set back into the station and waited for assistance, but not Mitchell. He banged at it and managed to get away, but only went to the advance signal and stuck again. He got away and stuck twice up in Glendoune, off again by some miracle, only to stick finally up at the waterworks. Harry McGeorge had to take the tablet and walk back 2 1/2 miles in the dark.

Goddamnit, Mitchell. There were signs.

Harry got down eventually, but Girvan could not help him. He must wait until the local from Ayr via Turnberry came in, which arrived with Manson 4-4-0 No 14161 (ex-414 ex-73) with Driver Sam McKnight and Fireman Billy Rae. They were informed that they had to go up and bank Mitchell. McKnight was not at all pleased, for he was an elder in the parish church, and there was a Kirk Session meeting that night. However, he hurried up, rounded his train, stowed it in the siding, got Harry and his tablet aboard, and off to the rescue.

You got between a true Scotsman and his presbytery. This cannot end well.

By that time regular assistance in rear had been sanctioned for Glendoune bank. The banking engine would get a banking key from Girvan No 3 box, would not couple to the train, and at milepost 3 3/4, about a quarter-mile from the summit, would drop off and return to Girvan. But it was laid down that if an engine had to go to assist a train stuck in the section, then it must have the tablet belonging to that train, must couple to its rear, and go through the section to its first stop at Pinmore.

Well that just sounds annoying.

So they went up, found the rear of the train, Billy Rae got down to couple, and Harry went off with his tablet, McKnight telling him that he would give two crows when he was ready. Billy Rae climbed up again, McKnight gave two crows, Mitchell gave two in answer and off they went... for about a coach length, and stopped. McKnight glanced up; the vacuum needle was at zero! Billy Rae clapped his hand to his mouth. 'Oh,' he said, 'I've coupled the bags and forgot the coupling!'

Goddammit, Billy Rae.

It may sound funny but it's easier done than you'd think. Out in the dark with the sleet trickling down your neck, groping under a rear gangway for a stiff vacuum hose, you get set on the job of coupling that to the tall swan-neck on the engine, and forget the primary job of the coupling itself. McKnight and Rae got down to see what damage had been done. The engine was sitting about 10ft from the rear of the train. They examined the bag on the engine, which did not appear to be damaged. They replaced it on its plug. Then they groped for the van bag. It seemed to be all right; they put it on its plug.

The words "seemed to" are doing a lot of work here...

Also, LMFAO at the driver at the head of the train. I call him No-Chill.

All this time Mitchell had not tumbled to the situation at the rear. He was roaring, bashing and slipping, and just as they replaced the van bag he thought that he would try in reverse! McKnight and Rae were still down on the ground when back he came — Billy slipped out from between with not an inch to spare.

No-Chill, you nearly killed a man. Calm the fuck down.

Bang they went into No 14161, which rolled off down the 1 in 54! There was a situation, the old Manson moving off into the dark, with two desperate men in pursuit. McKnight was middle-aged, with some corresponding spread; he just managed to touch a buffer with the tips of his fingers. Wee Billy was like a whippet; running furiously, he got a hold of the side step, wriggled on to it, climbed up, and along to the cab and stopped her. McKnight met up. 'Come on,' he said, 'never mind coupling or anything.'

Pfffttt. It was always going to end this way.

He buffered up to the rear, and away with them. Up they went right to the top, then they had to keep steaming down through the tunnel in case they lost the train.

Coz so far we've all been playing it just a bit too safe tonight.

Finally they pulled up in Pinmore station about six feet from the van. The guard had to see to parcels, then he came and looked. 'Oh, you're tied off,' he said, 'Cheer-o, boys!' and off they went. Then 14161's crew tried to raise vacuum and could not do so.

Elder McKnight ain't ever gettin' to that kirk session.

The bag had been damaged. They took it off, went over into the wood, got a bit of stick and made a plug. When they got home, they just put in the repairs book, 'Front bag to renew' and no one ever queried it.

I believe I could give steam enginemen the random rubbish rolling about the floor of my car and with it they could patch up any vacuum brake in the land.

... Sam McKnight told me this story the following week, but extracted from me a solemn promise that never, must I ever let Sam Mitchell know what went on at the rear of his train that night. I never did so, but as all four participants have now passed on, I can put it in print for the first time.

I want the job of collecting all the company tea and publishing it to the world the second I can get away with it.

Duck and Donald's relationship through the years!

"Quack quack quack!"

"What...?"

"Ye heard! quack quack ye go, sounds lik' ye'v an egg leid! noo wheesh 'n' let an engine sleep!"

"...it's pretty lonely in here, now that I think about it. I wonder how long the overhaul's going to take?"

"Oh I still can't believe you two are back! I thought I'd just be by myself again per usual. It's been ages! Duck wheeshed happily.

Donald chuckled "Well a'm 'ere noo, aren't ah? Tis great tae see ye again too"

"Oi! Me and Toad still exist, Duck!" Oliver hollered.

"Hello, Mr Duck!" Toad chimed in from... somewhere. Let's be honest, he's probably somewhere behind Oliver : /

"...*cough* D-Donald..."

"A-Aye, Duck...?"

"I...I th-think something was...*cough*...wrong with that c...coal.."

"When Bill and Ben met the Scottish engine Douglas for the first time, they thought it'd be most fun to tease him."

"...until they discovered they weren't the only twin engines on the Island of Sodor."

Hey y'all! :D I have a two-parter for you today!

Since I'm still on that Thomas Brainrot(tm), I've been writing sort of "fan" episode concepts just for funsies. And since we never got to see the two sets of twin engines interact, you bet I had to write something based on just that! xD

Then, of course, I decided to draw something based on the concept as well, aaand... here we are! xD

One day, Douglas goes to Brendam Docks, where he meets a pair of cheeky little Saddletank engines. They're quickly up to their usual antics, teasing and pulling tricks on the poor Scottish engine. He's most annoyed with the two little troublemakers, and quickly begins thinking of a way to get back at them. 

And so, with a little help from his twin Donald, they turn the tables on those cheeky little tank engines and give them a little taste of their own medicine! ;D

Once it's all over, though, they all have a good laugh about it! :D Though Bill and Ben would be shocked at first, they'd be good sports about it. At the very least they'd know never to mess with the Scottish twins again, that's for sure! xD

Honestly, I'm still shocked that these guys never interacted in the canon material. Pairing the two sets of twin engines together just seems like such a fun concept! I'd have loved to see the little gremlin tank engines get their comeuppance from the more level-headed, albeit still cheeky in their own right, Scottish twins. xD

Ah well! I can have fun imagining the chaos at least. ;D

Overall, I'm super happy with how this turned out!! I kind of went for a storybook-esque vibe with this and the other piece, and I'm really happy with the result. I also just had a lot of fun playing around with all the different textures and effects.

So I hope y'all enjoy it too! <3 And, with the FNAF movie (I still can't believe it LOL) just around the corner, I do have plans to draw something for that in the near future. ;3

So stay tuned!~

And as always, thanks for looking everybody!~ ^w^

THE FINALE OF THE TRIAL OF DELTASONG DANGER IS UP! And what a finale! I drew so much art I couldn't possibly fit it all in one post. In my defence the game ended up being almost 5 hour long and it's filled with so many great moments, so, here are the first ones :D

With @modmad as the DM, the Engineer and the Jester (and many others), @artist-of-obsessions as Scru McCodger, @cartoon-kitsune as Ida and @samaranth as Griffin!

Part 2 of my doodles for this game here, the rest of my fanart for this series there :D
