back with my weird looking horse “totally not ghost” locomotive humanoids but it’s with steam locomotives so most of the notes mostly apply to steam locos

Added notes:

diesel,electrics,and maglevs tend to have pretty nebulous heights and don’t really adhere to a strict height system like steam locos.

they, like every other vehicle of their caliber, are essentially like schrodingers cat.

can set fire/electrify the wheels if needed to.

these forms are an equivalent of a hologram and mostly use said form as a puppet for interaction and more precise harnessing of kinetic abilities.

Britain is probably the only place that out does the US in preserving steam locomotives. Not only do they have a ton of steam locomotives still around today but some still carry passengers in places.

Also, they built a brand new one not that long ago.

According to Wikipedia, they've built several new locomotives.

Introduction Post

Hello, I'm Scorpius!

About me:

I am a chemistry major and a math minor

I am 20 years old

I love space opera and older science fiction as much as I like trains so feel free to ask me about Star Trek, Babylon 5, Farscape, etc.

I also enjoy Thomas and Friends and I am currently getting a thorough rundown of the Railways Series. My favorite character is Duck (Montague) and my favorite character theme is Gordon’s theme from series 2.

My favorite steam locomotive is a GWR 57xx class 0-6-0PT (below is a picture from https://didcotrailwaycentre.org.uk/article.php/65/3738-57xx-class)

My second favorite is really any Gresely Pacific steam locomotive.

My Favorite Series of the Model Era of Thomas: It's a tie between 3 and 4

My favorite Season of the CGI Era of Thomas: Season 20

About this blog:

As I am an adult and will post the occasional adult-centered topic this blog is 18+.

I post about trains on this blog if that interests you. I mainly post about Steam Locomotives, it is going to take a lot for me to get interested in diesel-powered engines and pretty much any modern freight trains.

This blog is going to be really chill, with no fandom drama or discourse to be found here. I'd like to keep this blog as a safe space that people can interact with about trains. Any posts I make that are outside of that topic will be labeled and sorted with tags as such to keep everything organized.

I will be posting a lot about steam locomotives as well as railways.

I will be posting memes related to trains and Thomas on here if that is your thing too!

So feel free to check out this blog and what it has to offer!

From the May 2015 issue of The Trainmaster, "A wet May in the spring of 1948 created one of the biggest natural disasters in the history of Portland, Oregon. The warm weather caused a rapid snow melt in the Cascade Mountains and the waters of the Columbia River and the Willamette River that both border Portland began to rise significantly ... a 10-foot wall of water rushed out flooding and destroying most of the town of Vanport. ... while the flood waters slowly receded, the rail traffic of the area continued as best it could through the flood waters. Fortunately, steam power was still predominant at the time. Diesel locomotives with their traction motors would never be able to traverse the inundated rail yards. Steam power was still able to make it's way through as shown by the great photo of SP 2-8-2 #3298 doing just that.

With her brakeman and conductor perched safely above the flood waters on the engines tender, the cab crew watches as they plow their own wake through the yards as they deliver their train of cars. The firebox of the big SP Mike appears to be just lightly higher here than the flood waters themselves.

All in a day of steam railroading in 1948!"

Redraw of an old piece I did back in 2017 featuring one of my oldest locomotive characters. Silver Lady The LNER A4.

Golden Plover: "Sis garter blue is not that bad of a colour really, I think it looks very beautiful on all of us."

Silver Lady: "Well I don't! Must we all be wearing this disgusting common blue we've all been forced to wear as standard, instead of keep some of our class such as myself in the liveries we originally came out in when we were finished being built! I look hideous!"

Golden Plover: "It's up tops orders I'm afraid Silver Lady and we can't do anything about it. Besides the Silver and Apple Green liveries were very difficult for the cleaners to keep clean and shining, and you know we A4's are express engines, so we must always keep up appearances before our daily express runs. As our CME usually say's to us cleanliness comes before usefulness, and you look fine in your new livery."

Silver Lady: *Scoffs* "No Golden Plover I do not! I look like the rest of your batch, and doesn't make me stand out from any of you! It doesn't match with the colour of my coaches who are apart of the train I haul, and it's name happens to be the 'Silver Jubilee' meaning that it's meant to be an all Silver coloured consist throughout complete with engine to match! So, I'm supposed to be this beautiful, good looking, shiny Silver streamlined engine who pulls a consist of streamlined coaches with a matching livery, and the right one too! I' am not good looking right now! As my livery doesn't match my consist, making the point of it's namesake pointless, as I look like a blue whale who's pulling a mismatched train with the wrong colour, and to add to that my make up doesn't match up as well! So, honestly the passengers will think I look terrible, because I do look like it!"

Golden Plover: "Sister, I know you really liked your Silver livery as it always made you feel good about your appearance. But having a matching livery just to match a consist of coaches of a named train which has a name associated with that colour, doesn't really matter at the end of the day. As the passenger's won't mind what colour their engine in front is in, as long as they have the right engine to pull their train, and it arrives at it's destination on time. So, I suggest you get over it sis and just live with wearing the wrong colour for your coaches."

Silver Lady: "Easy for you to say Plover! But I don't accept being in this livery that easily, and oh look my express is ready. So, I can't waste time complaining about how awful this livery is, and how much I hate wearing it all day. So good day Plover, and I'll see you later this evening when I'll continue complaining about this disgusting blue to you and the others." *Steams off for the station with grumpiness boiling inside her.*

Golden Plover: "She'll learn eventually."

Silver Lady as everyone knows, has always been identified as a Silver Streak in preservation due to her wearing her iconic LNER Silver livery, which is her most preferred colour to wear as it represents her time pulling the Silver Jubilee streamlined express service between London and Newcastle during the late thirties, and was the first livery she wore after rolling out of the works in 1936.

However, despite Silver being the livery she is identified in, Silver Lady has worn many different liveries throughout her service life like most of her siblings. From wartime black to BR Brunswick Green with her having varying opinions on each one she wore. Her latest favourite livery and the one she's always had a huge distaste of wearing, happens to be LNER Garter Blue livery. She never liked being painted in that livery as to her it looked ugly and hideous, and happened to become the standard livery for her class, that she was forced into wearing due to the cleaners seeing it as a much easier livery to clean than the Silver livery she adored so much. Fueling her dislike for the livery as she saw it as lackluster, didn't match with her name and the name of the express service she usually pulled and had become so common among her class that it seemed forced for them to wear only one paint colour.

Silver Lady also thought the livery ruined her trains image, as she used to believe that everything had to match with the livery of the coaches she usually pulled behind her, and the passengers would find it appealing that there was a mismatched painted A4 pulling the train up in front that seemed out of place and didn't match the coaches, to the point where she thought they would laugh at her for looking odd among the rake of silver coaches. This idea give her constant anxiety to where one day, while an LMS 4F was complementing her livery while saying how it didn't match her coaches while waiting at Peterborough, she angrily left her train on a siding, and run away down the LMS's line to Birmingham. Arriving at Leicester where she run into who would become her first mate, LMS Princess Coronation Class No. 6220 Coronation, who had been taking time off to casually explore the line and to use it to sneak onto LNER metals for an adventure.

When Silver Lady told him what she was going through with her new livery, Coronation helped her learn that it didn't matter how she looked for her trains and that no one will judge her for looking different than what she would usually prefer to look, as it was the inside of her hiding underneath that livery that brought out her true beauty of herself and her class at the end of the day regardless of what livery she wore. This helped Silver Lady to appreciate the engine she truly was on the inside, and to accept that she won't always be in the livery she preferred to be in, and she would have wear any livery regardless of what she thought of it, even if it was one she very much disliked like the Garter Blue livery she was wearing. In the end although she still disliked blue, it didn't bother her that much anymore if she had to wear it, even when she was painted into it again after the war for a short period.

When Silver Lady was preserved by the North Ousingham Railway, she was grateful for when she was restored to her original Silver livery, and she remained in that colour for many years afterwards, though she did wear garter blue again briefly in 1990 so as to impress her second mate, but was returned to Silver the year after and has never changed it again since.

Hey ttte fandom! (Or any fandom/orginal work that involves a train that is alive) Now you can use this handy moral chart to see how Evil is your Alive Train!

And here are the steam twins, Rusty and Frosty. This was my first try drawing my OC Frosty. I am not good with drawing snowflakes, so I used stickers from Frozen and other ones. Frosty has white hair with a blue part in front and a very light skin color. His eyes are a very light ice blue, I left the scribblings I did with pencil when I brought my ideas about him to paper. It may be confusing, but it will be revealed in my fanfic. I played around using devorating gemstones in Frostys headband. Their bands are made of metal not like in the musical.

Following it's life after the Iron Horse Rambles, Reading 2102 would still take part in numerous excursions. Of these which was a doubleheader with Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad (Ex Grand Trunk Western) 4070, an S3A class 2-8-2 USRA Light Mikado built by ALCO in December 1918. Unfortunately, the trip was ill-fated as the 4070 threw an eccentric rod on the Horseshoe Curve stalling busy rail traffic resulting in Conrail to ban steam operations for several years. Today, 2102 now operates on the Reading and Northern Railroad while 4070 is still currently under restoration at the Midwest Railway Preservation Society. Models and Route by: K&L Trainz, Canadian Pacific Locomotive Works, Jointed Rail, Auran, and Download Station
