Greaseball is like Bakugou in the way that he doesn't learn the names of people he doesn't really care about.
This is why he just calls Rusty "Steam Train" and how the nickname "Rusty" came to be. GB didn't care about learning his real name, and what are his two distinguishing features? He's a rusted Steam Train.
This is also why groups are generalized, like "The Rockies" and "The Gang".
The only names he really knows are his, Dinah's, and CB's. He learns Electra's pretty quick but he only calls him that because he couldn't come up with a nickname that degraded him enough-

Ok so I have this really random hc that Dinah was born(if trains are born idk) on March 13th because on her kneecaps it says 313 which I always read as 3-13, making it March 13th.
Idk if anyone else saw it like this but yeah, I just hold firm to my hc

Starlight express headcanons
Joule has deliberately and accidentally shared weird songs to the component frequency.
CB and the Rockies had a challenge on who could keep spinning the longest. The rockies lasted half a day, CB went a full day.
Pearl and Rusty will sometimes bake with each over and for each other.
Electra and the components sleep on one bed, all of them at some point has rolled off the bed during the night.
During cold weather stray animals will come up to Poppa and Rusty to get warm.

Been fired in a cannon over to you by Milo to ask about DinahWrench hc/ideas that you may have :]!!! Would v much like to hear em! :D!!! - Mutie
ohhhhhh hi mutie i do indeed have some scrambled Thoughts for u
wrench is very socially awkward but feels comfortable around dinah :)
that being said dinah definitely drags wrench to Girls Night. wrench has no idea whats going on bro
dinah is pretty clumsy so sometimes she falls and minorly hurts herself, which wrench fusses at her for (she also puts bandaids on her booboos and gives them little smooches).
listen i dont know if trains wear pjs but if they do hear me out. dinah wears cute frilly nightgowns and wrench wears like. oversized tshirts (stolen from krupp) and boxers.
dinah loves how soft wrench is in spite of (because of?) her strength. wrench would carry dinah around everywhere if she asked.
anyways thats all i have im sorry its not longer my brain is just goop. if anyone wants to ask hcs with like. prompts feel free

Any Halloween headcanons on the brain? (For stex or kirby or even newsies take your pick XD)
Why not all👀
StEx - Not sure if the trains themselves would celebrate Halloween, but they get decorated for the day for passengers (eg: coaches have decorations put up in their interiors, Greaseball once even got himself repainted orange and black skdks)
Kirby - Kirby and Bandana Dee go trick-or-treating (dressed as Meta Knight and Dedede respectively) and Dedede hosts a party at the castle. Meta Knight, to nobody's surprise, takes it upon himself to keep an eye out for troublemakers
Newsies - Okay I honestly can't find much about Halloween traditions in the 1890s, but I reckon Jack would make some plans to entertain the younger newsies.

Shared stuff on Discord based on what I think some of the Stex cast would order at a coffee place-
-GB is the kind of guy to order a red eye (hot or iced depending on weather) and then complain mildly it doesn’t taste that great (except if Dinah adds a pinch of milk)
-Espresso just drinks straight up espresso. Gets a full eight ounce cup of espresso and barely feels energized. He considers it a normal breakfast drink.
-Coco likes flat whites and gets offended how they come in more than one size in America.
-CB (all cabeese actually) always orders something sweet with espresso shots. Tips very politely.

Trains acting like animals, by Me:
Greaseball likes having behind his ear scratched
Some trains chase their own couplers
Basically every train play fights
Most Diesels relish in a good head pat
Steam Trains go Mrrrow, Diesels rumble, Electrics do that weird squeak Cheetahs do, Coaches shriek, Freight Trucks bark, and Cabeese just scream-
Trainlets can be born in litters depending on their parents
You can train trains to do tricks for treats, it's something conductors like to do when bored, though it's under their own risk because only some trains will humor them while others threaten to stomp them-
Freight trucks like to take dust baths, it's literally just them rolling in the dirt
Boxcars in particular like to school together
Trains will have "Starsongs" in the middle of the night where they all blare their horns/whistle/make some noise. They do this on mainly starry nights, it's got something to do with singing for the Starlight Express as a community
Going belly up on the ground is generally seen as a sign of someone inferior, even if they don't do it on purpose. One of the reasons that Rusty is regarded as low rank is because the first time the gang beat him he ended up on his back, even though he was fighting hard as hell they still see him as weak because of it
Trains bite. Some more than others. Sometimes it's soft and endearing, like a lovebite, other times it's looking to cause damage. Plenty of trains are missing ears and fingers, namely diesels.
Steamers have retractable claws
Diesels have big ole canines
Electrics have markings around their eyes similar to a Cheetah so they can see through all the light they produce

lore bit: facial markings
(rusty, dinah, wrench, caboose)
general lore about markings in my au is under the cut. feel free to shoot me an ask if there are other characters whose markings you'd like to see :>
All trains have colorful designs on their faces. Known mostly as facial markings and sometimes facial patterns, they’re permanent parts of a train's livery (so, closer to a tattoo than to face paint). They’re intended to be unique to each train; there’s nothing exactly keeping track to make sure every train has something completely brand new, but there’s generally an effort to come up with something distinctive.
All trains are given basic markings when they’re manufactured (typically around the eyes), but most trains gradually add on to them to create a truly individualized design. Although patterns are mainly centered on the face, lots of trains have them on their necks and even down their bodies--for example, Dinah has a chevron across her chest, and my OC Screw has them along her left leg. Typically, patterns are 1-2 colors, although it's not a strict requirement.
Trains are generally very proud of their liveries and even when trains repaint the rest of their liveries (to either match a company contract, or just to switch things up), their markings tend to stay the same or similar.
When originally manufactured by humans, trains were given blank, vaguely human-colored faces; after they separated from humans and took over their own manufacturing, trains developed their markings, desperate for something to give themselves individuality and separate themselves from humans.
Rusty is very self-conscious about his rust overtaking the majority of his markings; after he wins it’s a little overwhelming to finally repaint them after so many years of them being missing :,,,,)
