Question for Taw Valley:

Kiss, Marry, Kill: Flying Scotsman, Pendenis Castle and City of Truro?

TAW VALLEY: Kill? Kill! I don't want to kill any of these beautiful, darling boys. They are all so wonderful and perfect in their own ways.

Not sure how I would kiss any of them though, buffer do rather get in the way. But if I could, I would kiss Truro and Scotsman and I would marry Pendennis.

PENDENNIS: HOORAY I GET THE GIRL! Lucky me!

TAW VALLEY: Of course my dearest steampuff!

PENDENNIS: Steampuff <3

Who's the Golden Warden for the Talyllyn Railway? I'd presume it to either be Talyllyn or Dolgoch due to them being the railways original two locomotives.

SKARLOEY: Yes it's my twin, Talyllyn! Although there is a rumour that Dolgoch and my brother share this responsibility!

SIR NIGEL: Two Golden Wardens for the one Railway? Impossible!

SKARLOEY: Never underestimate us wee engines!

Question for Edward: How do you deal with Bill and Ben? They seem so annoying.

EDWARD: With a lot of patience, guile and cunning. They're not so bad once you figure out all their tricks. You can use it against them and they get completely flustered.

Question for Mallard: what's your opinion on bullet trains (Shincansens)?

MALLARD: Beautiful. Of course, they're beautiful, they're an evolution of my design. Myself and my class are trendsetters can you not see?

Still working on the next chapter I promise, life has decided to happen and drag it out but it's coming along. No idea when it'll be finished and I don't want to make false promises.

Onwards!

To the author, what version of Sodor do you use in this AU? Like is there a version of a certain map you use to be the layout for this AU's Sodor (and maybe added your own bits/hcs to it??), considering all the versions of Sodor's map/layout it got me wondering about it.

( -🧀non)

Hello Cheese,

I tend to default to Awdy's maps but I'm not afraid to alter it to include parts from the TV Series simply because it can be too restricting.

My series includes a lot of engines (well let's face it most of the characters are actual real-life engines) from the UK so that complicates matters.

TLDR: Sodor is loosely based on Awdy's original map with creative liberties.

Question for either Truro or Sir Nigel who ever knows more

What classifies as a railway for it to have a warden is just as easy as having track a locomotive or is it more nuanced than that

SIR NIGEL: There are many factors that constitute a railway being considered for a Golden Warden. But the most important fact is that the railway must significantly impact its surrounding area no matter how small it is.

Whether it is economically or through tourism etc, the reason does not matter so long as the railway is significant to a place's history.

TYDFIL: oh, well I- thank you everyone! I feel a little bit better about myself now. I wonder if Maindy would have agreed.

Um hi, I have a question. It's Lady of Legend or Tydfil or whatever you want to call me.

So, suppose Rooster, Taw Valley, and 3801 are in a bar somewhere, then Bill and Ben show up. How chaotic would that be?

GORDON: PLEASE DEAR LORD NO

3801: Gremolins together, strong!

How exactly do we interact with the characters? Like how do we look, are we spirits or just humans, especially the anons considering they technically have the same appearance

( -🧀non)

TORNADO: I mean, it's through the internet? Anon icon is the anon icon? What else would it be? It's not magic ot anything.

BITTERN: Some would say the internet is magic and spiritual.

ARROW: HAH! NO.

BITTERN: Cousin, have you seen how some of the Great Western react to people's smartphones.

ARROW: 😏 I have. It's really funny.
