Sooooo I've been obsessed with trains lately (or should I say engines *cough*)

And because it's Christmas, have a humanoid concept that I'm working on featuring good old Thomas as a bonus

[noble-atomics-railway]

(Scenario where the engines have randomly turned into their model series counterparts over night)

STH (approaching the sheds): "Good morning, you lot! Just coming to check in– oh my god"

The engines:

(Not a single thought behind those eyes)

Edward's driver: "Sir, they were like this when we got here. They've just been smiling. All morning"

Thomas's driver: "Not gonna lie, I'm scared to touch them"

Gordon's driver: Especially Gordon, he looks like he's high....

Emily's driver: You think Gordon looks creepy?!? Just look at Emily, she's staring into my soul!!!!!

Sir Topham Hatt: Okay, let's see if they can still talk...

Sir Topham Hatt: *Clears throat* Uh, good morning engines!

The engines: *Ringo's voice* Good morning sir! What a lovely day we're having!

Sir Topham Hatt and the drivers:

So I've been watching a lot of Girl With The Dogs videos recently, and thought it'd be funny to do a parody redraw where one of the railway staff started an "engine grooming" channel, where they wash and paint the engines while also giving the viewers information on their build/class and specific needs.

I am now kind of attached to "Guy" and might adopt him as an actual OC that primarily mans the Washdown Station...

Traintober Day 12: Something Borrowed

Borrowed from the BR by Oliver, borrowed by everyone else subsequently. He doesn't mind, every engine could use a reliable brake van.

Back on Track! - Steamers 'n' Stations / Diesel's Depot

Here's some more engines who'll be puffing about in this AU, did these as a practice to get more used to redesigning the engines in this new style!

And wanted to pracitce some enviorment/buildings too, for two key stations nicknamed 'Big Tee' and 'Big Vee' - Why they're called that? You'll have to find out,, 👀

Here’s a casual drawing I did comparing Gordon and Henry’s eyes and builds.(just my personal take, of course!)

Chapter 9 - The Unexpected Visitor

<Prev | Next >

“How did you get in here?” Gordon said hoarsely. Henry firmly held his arm, noticing Gordon trembling lightly. It was colder than usual in the house, but not cold enough to shiver. Henry knew, as much as he would never admit it, this woman, whoever she was, scared Gordon, and Henry could guess that it was for a good reason.

“Easily.” She smiled. Her smile was cold and fake, like that of a model, or an actress, Henry thought. “It's not hard when a woman has the right connections. Imagine my shock when I found out that you weren't dead, my dear.”

“How did you know?” Gordon asked shakily.

“I saw your name in a newspaper and of course I recognised it. That was about five years ago or so. Of course, my new man had business on the island, so I asked him to dig his claws in and investigate. I knew that it would prove rather lucrative if my suspicions were proved correct.” 

“Newspaper?” He turned thoughtful for a moment. “The Queen's Coach. Of course it hit the national news.” He closed his eyes and shook his head. “Stupid. I wanted to, so badly, and it was stupid.”

“But not for me.” She laughed. “When he arrived,” she pointed roughly at Henry, “it was so much easier to confirm what I suspected.” She placed a photo on the table, clearly showing Gordon’s face. “You are my deceased husband, Gordon Gresley, and I want what you took from me.”

My Engine driver for Gordon in my stories.

She's kind, friendly and loves her engine to pieces and wants the best for him, which often leads to her butting heads with railway management. She also has a daughter with Henry's fireman Ted, who she totally didn't name after her beloved engine.

Also I drew Diesel 10... currently a little tired.

Pov: You're secretly a Faerie from Shining Time and run a Heritage Railway on Sodor called Shining Rails with your magic engine and suddenly, you're in charge of a JNR Class D-15 nicknamed 'Master of the Railway'

(Faeries / Faefolk in this AU can switch between their human and fae forms ; Mr. Conductor and Junior are also Faeries!)

Nia Humanisation for the 50's AU. She's a minor character, but I still enjoyed drawing her.

I had such a struggle finding a good period appropriate outfit for her, and I settled on a more traditional style one. If anyone knows of any other Kenyan inspired outfits from the 1950's, drop me a link in the comments.
