OC Post Two - "A Branchline Fairytale"

It turns out, i have a lot of characters, most of which are split across their own little universes. In the case of "A Branchline Fairytale", this universe tries to take on a more storybook or specifically early RWS feel.

The branchline rosters 4 engines, and there are 5 characters in this group. The first is: Highlander - A Highlands Jones Tank, Highlander is the branchline's main freight engine. He's strong, dedicated, and still as jolly as the day he was built.

Sir Rowan Parker - A GCR E8, Rowan fancies himself a Proper Gentleman. Being the branch's main passenger engine, he's very used to being the center of attention, and thrives in the spotlight. When off the job however, he can be stubborn as an ox and temperamental as a mare, although these have both improved over the many years he's served the line.

Samuel - An 0-6-0 Andrew Barclay Diesel, Samuel shunted for a factory before coming to the branch. As such, his language is often quite blunt. He's not mean, very fond of his new home on the branch in fact, but he doesn't hesitate to tell people what he thinks of them, much to the amusement of some and the offense of others.

Franklin - Brought in to supplement and/ or fill in for Rowan if need be, Franklin is a blue two-unit diesel railcar. He often runs services to the main line, and because of this he sees the work on the branch as beneath him. Despite this, he's quite clever and attentive, often sharing his observations with his fellow diesel, Samuel.

Finally, we have: The Unnamed Deltic - One of the engines to frequently interchange with the branchline, this class 55 is like an outsider looking in. Although he usually jokes at the expense of the smaller engines, he's not against offering some advice from a different perspective when they're struggling.

I hope you enjoy these goobers!
