Did you hear that 4014 THE Big Boy pulled off her own version of a super rescue? 11,000 tons stalled freight train up a hill: otherwise know as Light Work!

I hadn't heard! That's pretty cool.

How about Five American Engines? Is that part of your ERS? Is it the 5 I would expect (*counts on fingers* Caitlin, Connor, Porter, Hank... erm... I'm blanking... Philip?)

Five American Engines sort of fills a weird space in my mind and in general. It's technically not part of my ERS series, but it's done in that style and would technically fit in that world.

The base premise was a heritage line in the USA looking to preserve some of the steam engines being withdrawn at the end of the 1950's.

And I'll keep at least some of the characters a secret for now - but what I can give is part of the first story in the bunch that I wrote:

Hank sat on his siding, watching as the engine in the siding a couple tracks across from him was dragged away to be scrapped. To his left sat a little experimental Boxcab engine – one who didn’t really seem to grasp what was going on.

“Is he also going to the sheds? Can we go?! It’s cold out here.” “No Philip, you don’t want to go to the sheds,” Hank said gently. “It’s not nice in the sheds.” “Well at least in the sheds we wouldn’t be covered in damp! And there’s a weed growing under me – it’s tickling my axle.” “Philip, listen to me. And listen to me well,” Hank said. “You NEVER want to go into the sheds here. Stay in this siding. Please. And keep it down. Do not attract attention.” “But they might let us in the shed!” “You don’t want that, remember?” “Oh. Okay.”

Hank sighed, and looked up. The sky was a dull grey, dreary and threatening. If they were lucky, the rain would only last for a few minutes. Or maybe it would go on all night. Then he really might rust through. The engine on his other side looked over.

“You’ll have to tell him eventually,” she murmured. “You can’t protect the experimental forever.” “I can try,” Hank replied sombrely.

The year is 1959, and all across the USA, steam engines are being withdrawn and placed in cold, damp sidings. They watch as their friends are taken into the sheds – and never return.

Hank is one of these engines. He had worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad faithfully since the First World War, pulling passengers and then freight. He’d raced the Hudsons across the Eastern Seaboard, then enjoyed quieter workings along the lakefront. Now he awaited his fate.

Or, he did, until he saw a well-dressed gentleman in grey breeches and a top hat stride into the scrapyard, staring up at the engines in wonderment. “Hello?” he called. The man looked over. “Are you a K4?” asked the man, wandering over. “Quite the specimen! And look, some sort of experimental boxcab design. Both of the Pennsylvania Railroad of course – such good condition too! Why yes, you will be perfect.” “I… beg your pardon sir?” said Hank slowly. The man looked up at Hank and beamed.

“I’m Sir Robert Norramby of Sodor, and I want to preserve you!”

American Motors AMX/3, 1970, by Italdesign. The AMX/2 was well received despite lacking an engine so AMC followed it with a fully operational mid-engined prototype powered by American Motor's 6.4 litre V8. Giotto Bizzarrini was involved in the car's development, the suspension and mid-engine chassis. What was not acknowledged at the time was that the styling was by Italdesign. The plan had been for the car to be made by German coachbuilder's Karmann and exported to the US to compete with the De Tomaso Pantera. However soon after the AMX/3 was presented the program was cancelled.

Mural by Markus Lewis for Ginger Ale Plaza

On our trip we hiked a trail that evidently ran along what used to be a small local line… they had a derailment in 1910; the utility pole prevented engine No. 612 from rolling down the embankment into the creek.

Absolutely loved this painting and its RWS vibes. You can just tell this unfortunate soul had been boasting insufferably about its reliability in the lead-up.
