I don't know who to send this ask so I'm gonna leave it out here for the public because it just came to me out of the blue: locomotive literature

And I don't mean literature about locomotives, but rather literature written by locomotives

Train biographies detailing their lives on the railway and documenting how things have changed since they were first built

Ghost writers publishing literary works written by trains

Trains with human editors sitting on their buffers as they write down what their engines say and making adjustments for those especially picky or who's words cannot be transcribed because they will be banned otherwise (looking at you Duncan)

Just

Train authors you guys

#ttte #thomas the tank engine #thomas and friends #edward would be the perfect children's author I think #telling stories based on the shenanigans of thomas bill and ben #but also him writing about locomotive hardships and the shady practices surrounding their lives #with published accounts by percy henry and anyone else willing to contribute #Henry writing his experience powering through his time as a train that had several 'health' problems #an icon of perseverance and model for those struggling with their own health problems #thomas being cheeky as usual and publishing a book on all the insults he and his friends used against each other #complete with detailed accounts of how those insults came to be #Gordon and his guide to looking one's best and being as dignified as possible #bill and ben co authoring a practical joke book people #do you all see my vision
