(derek being d4 was inspired by @.mean-scarlet-deceiver's fic, which you should totally read if you like gordon having character development but still being fundamentally Gordon and derek existing)

Stargazing - Traintober Day 26: Summit

A school’s astronomy club had chartered a special night time train up the Culdee Fell Railway.

Shane Dooiney was chosen to take it.

So that night, as the other mountain engine sat asleep in their shed, Shane Dooniey climbed up the mountain, with his single coach ahead of him.

Night running was rare on the Culdee Fell, and he took in the opportunity to see the familiar sights bathed in only the dim light of the moon and the stars.

They reached the summit station in good time, and the children and their teachers scrambled up the last climb to the mountain’s peak.

It was a perfect night for this sort of thing. The sky was clear, and the air calm.

As the school group went about setting up their telescope, Shane Dooiney sat at the platform and looked up at the magnificent scene of countless stars twinkling in the night sky.

The mountain engine smiled.

“You know” he sighed wistfully, “We engines climb this mountain everyday of every summer. From here we can look out and see the world stretching out before us”.

“How marvelous” he continued, “to look up from what you think of as the top of the world, and to see the universe staring back at you, it’s endless expanse of stars and galaxies, distant worlds separated by unthinkably vast emptiness… to have laid out before you just how little your understanding of the world is… and to just, sit with the wonder of it all for a little while”.

🖤💙💚💜

So uh I know imma nearly a month late and it’s 4/22 so here have all my numbers 4 as of now!! ❤️💙💚💜

Emily is of the Wellsworth and Suddery Railway ( I mainly based this concept off Of Wildnorwester ver of her, she’s their version of an express engine/passenger devices,) A bossy yet well meaning girlboss who’s best friends with fellow W&S Lily and Neil and tries to stop the boys (mainly Adam from arguing with Colin).

OG Express coming through dude himself!!

I adore Stuart with all my heart and soul, he got a slight redesign, I based him way too much on Human Mikey’s (mainly Rise and KiKina on Twitter)designs cause their personality and roles are quite fitting since in this au it’s plays quite differently (ex. He’s got cracks to represent his accident with the trucks though the way it happened changed ex)

U can tell I’m obsessed with Rise Donatello so I had to based a character on his personality (though I based too many haha slightly inspired by glowynatior on Twitter) off of that + plus the anime trope of a mad scientist character plus meme time baby!!

So yeah hope y’all enjoyed these lovely folks and Rise Baby Rise Baby! ✨✌️

Hey guys did you know that me and @itsjustempathy actually created an Undertale x TTTE AU where the gameplay is the same but Frisk is a volunteer railway worker and an engine fell into the underground with them. Wanna know who it is? Drum roll please!!

🥁🥁🥁

Culdee!

Maybe we should call it “A Tale From The Rails/RailTale” :)

Development wise, Mountain Engines is the weakest. The railway and characters that's introduced has absolutely no impact on the rest of the series.

At least with every other book we're introduced to new characters/concepts that would be built upon in later books. Small Railway Engines introduces the Fat Clergyman and the Small Controller who would later help recover Duke the Lost Engine in that book. Mountain Engines uses a lot of Narrow Gauge engines but none of the characters introduced are ever seen again.

Was their one run in the sun insufficient to secure their glory? 😔

Now that's what I call Rock N' Roll!

my side of an art trade with @glowynviator !

Decided to draw your awesome Duncan because his design is too perfect. I just HAD to give him his RAF jacket because I am a sucker for anything aviation related, and I love how it ties into his punk like personality.

Got a little creative and designed him an electric guitar. I based it on Elvis' to stick with the classic Rock N' Roll theme you gave him. We'll call it his "Pop Special Tour" wink wink nudge nudge

I also threw in a little doodle of Godred because I love your Culdee Fell boys!!!

Their trench coats are really fitting and the piping around the collar accents it so well. Thank you so much for the art trade! This was so fun!

Traintober 2023: Day 16 - Purpose

What Is An Engine's Purpose, Godred?

What is an engine’s purpose?

It’s an interesting question. Theoretically, there is only one answer, and it’s a simple answer above all. There is no deep philosophical debate or grand mystery that spans out across the universe for all time to ponder.

And yet, Godred pondered it. Lying on his side, crumpled, he wondered quietly about his purpose. The little engine tried to take a breath, only to groan and almost choke on a rivet that had ripped its way out of his smokebox. Everything hurt. There was a tree branch that had managed to lodge itself through his cab and into his firebox – now it was beginning to smoulder as the burning coals of his firebox set it alight. Soon his entire cab would be a raging inferno.

“So… what is an engine’s purpose?” asked a voice. Godred blinked his only working eye open, trying to shift the grit and dirt out of his eyelid before gazing around. A figure dressed all in white stepped forwards, gazing down at the young engine.

“Wha—” Godred didn’t even manage to complete a single word before he was reduced once more to a hacking cough, one which rattled his frames and managed to finally rip his safety valve from where it had been bent at an oblong angle. The clang of the valve hitting the ground resounded across Culdee Fell.

“Ah, I see,” sighed the figure. “You did not realise it until too late, did you?” Godred didn’t reply – he felt that the answer to that question was a little too obvious, considering his current position. His mangled wheels groaned; an axle snapped and the upper half ripped into his motion, dragging a pained moan from his tattered vocal chords.

The figure knelt down in front of Godred, placing a comforting hand on his cheek. It came away red with blood; but Godred’s crew had managed to jump to safety.

“I… I was blind,” admitted Godred, finally able to speak more than a single syllable. “I… destroyed myself.” The figure sighed, stepping back for a second to size Godred up. Godred did the same.

The figure was dressed in a white robe, one that looked not too dissimilar to the robes worn by the Monks at the church at the foot of Culdee Fell. He had a plain rope cincture tied around his waist, and plain sandals on his feet. Most interestingly, he had a long, white beard and a gentle, loving smile.

“I suppose you were, dear engine,” the figure said. “Though I wonder if that was your purpose?” Godred frowned.

“What’s the supposed to mean?” he demanded. The figure hummed for a moment, before gently sitting down on a boulder beside where Godred had landed.

“Your purpose as an engine was to transport passengers and freight from one place to another, correct?” the figure asked. Godred agreed. “Well, that was your purpose until you derailed. Now, you are a martyr, or perhaps a warning. The railway will forever remember you, and you shall forever act as the spectre that hangs over them and wards them from recklessness.”

Godred scowled.

“That sounds like some nonsense that a priest would say! Are you one of them? Do you work at the church?”

The figure considered for a moment.

“That is one way to say it,” he said after a moment. “I definitely am a Christian – perhaps you’ve heard of me?” Godred snorted.

“Unlikely. The only great Christian person in this region is Saint Machan, and he’s been dead nearly 1500 years!”

“Ah, so you have heard of me.” Godred’s eyes went wide. He looked back – his corporeal body lay smashed and destroyed behind him, but he could see it! He could see every inch of his wrecked boiler, could see his battered cab and mangled valve gear.

“I’m… dead?” whispered Godred, almost fearfully. Saint Machan nodded, and wordlessly strode over to the wreck of the steam engine. He performed a few quick ceremonies over the husk of an engine, then turned to Godred.

“My purpose, young Godred, was once to spread the good word. Now, I bring the tortured souls the mountain steals to the afterlife, where they may find peace with god.” Godred shook his head, horrified – he could shake his head.

“No… no… it can’t be! I’m the Number One! I cannot be dead – I am eternal, I had the luck of Godred on my side!” Saint Machan waited patiently for Godred to finish babbling, then turned to the spirit staring mournfully at his former body.

“So, any last rites?”

[1963] “Oh Godred, please not him!” “Stupid things,” Lord Harry grumbled, bumping the coach. “They’re all scared of coming with me.” “You’re too reckless,” said Wilfred. “That’s why.” “Rubbish! I’m up-to-date, that’s all. I can go twice the speed of any of you old rustbuckets in perfect safety. They,” he continued, glaring back at the coach, “are just chicken shit. They need a bit of toughening up.” “God, Harry, language!” Wilfred gaped. Lord Harry only rolled his eyes. “All the same,” Ernest cut in, with a hard look in her eyes, “we don’t take such risks on a mountain railway.” “Peh, risk? What risk? Why, with my superheat-” “Superheat? Is that what you kids call it?” Culdee interjected. “In my day, we called that conceit!” Lord Harry went a deep red and fumed away, yanking the coach along. Culdee and Wilfred both laughed, while Ernest watched with trepidation as the number 6 made his way to the platform.

The Mountain Engines were excited. Thanks to the Electric Engines and their new Branch Line, they’d more passengers than ever! They were all busy, and the coaches seemed jam-packed! The coaches felt the worst of it. They were mostly wood and would return to the sheds feeling quite warped after a full train.

“The Board and I,” said the Tall Controller one evening, “Have made a tough decision. We are getting more new coaches to phase out the older, smaller stock.”

The Mountain Engines murmured quietly among themselves. They had a feeling the coaches wouldn’t like the sound of that.

#ttte #rws #mountain engines #rws art #bootlace drabbles #did you know the culdee fell railway's original coaches were all scrapped?#I DIDN'T.#that's some interesting stuff right there and awdry did nothing with it!#you're telling me the mountain engines all got widowed during the 20s and went on all fine hunky dory???#you're telling me the COACHES WOULDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH BEING REPLACED UP-FRONT???#i swear awdry you're amazing but you're infuriating at times

thinking about white-collar office worker au where all the sodor railway blokes are working their remote jobs doing business management for the railway companies and its The Most Office Job Environment Ever.

Henry is the idiot who's muted over zoom and doesn't know it until someone tells him he's muted and he can't figure out why. James and Thomas get a screen cap of him leaning in trying to figure it out and change their Webcam backgrounds so everyone thinks they're Henry all the time.

Edward is the human resources representative and he is so fucking overworked by these clowns.

Gordon is the floor administrator and is looking for ANY valid reason to fire James but James is so fucking good at marketing he can't in good conscience get rid of him.

Percy is the IT wizard who everyone assumes is a robot and sleeps in the office and can fix literally anything. No one knows how. It Just Works™️. Gordon struggling with his Webcam and Percy sneezes on it: fixed. Convinced he is just an AI.

Thomas is the temp worker who never left.

The skarloey and culdee fell railway representatives work on the floor below them and just have constant noise complaints.

Plus they all get cute button ups and ties.

#ttte #fer rambles #fer au #vomiting rancid brain sauce train rot on tumblr as i sit working at my white collar remote office job like yeah.

Considering nobody’s mentioned

Certain.

Characters.

I’ll ask you about them.

No.1:

Are there any more Hit Era characters,for example Dennis.

No.2:

How does Mighty Mac work?

Do they have two stomaches?

No.3:

Can the Culdee Fell engines eat from the faces on their back?

And lastly No.4:Who’s the list of Mid Sodor engines in YOUR AU.

#1

There’s Molly and Murdoch, AND Arthur. Those three are still existing AND on the island, a lot of engines just rarely see them, except James who sometimes ditches work to see Molly. Actually, now that I’m talking about Molly…she’s a quite a self-depreciative engine in my au. Always cracking a bit of humour about how ugly she looks and the stuff she pulls, thinking she doesn’t deserve to pull passengers and prefers pulling dirty trucks. Her old railway was never good to her, which is kinda the reason why she’s got those issues. Other than that, she’s an introvert, but can be optimistic when she likes.

Murdoch is still the same engine he was before. When he became a beast, he was more of a curious animal. He’s often seen around the mainline, pulling goods or just wandering around, which gives train enthusiasts the perfect chance to get up close to him to either feed or pet him.

Arthur is still at the coastal village, aiming to keep his record clean of any mishaps. He often wanders around the village or goes for a little dip in the shallow pools. He mostly eats fish, and often has his crew complaining about it.

#2

Mighty Mac is pretty much a catdog situation. No one knows if they have separate stomachs, not even them.

As for the legs, they don’t have any hind legs since they’re the same engine, sooo….they just have eight front legs.

#3

Yes! The Culdee Fell engines can very much eat from both ends. They also have stubby little tails so they don’t block their back faces too.

#4

Duke, Smudger, Freddie (it was mentioned he canonically used to work on the MSR in the TV series), Jennings, Albert, John, Tim, Gerry, Alfred, Jim and there’s also Stanley, but not the RWS Stanley. I’ve also deciding whether or not I could give Mighty Mac a MS background.
