Sorry for taking so long to get a new upload out, been busy with IRL stuff over the last month. But I have some art in the works so there is stuff on the way, and some of them are not an illustration for Tales of the Tarmingham Overhead this time. But it is a stand alone drawing relating to Tarmingham, featuring one of the locations on the Overhead and is right in the centre of Tarmingham.

Here we see Danwood and Sanworth pulling into Tarmingham City Centre Station during the rush hour on a warm summers day in 2021 (the reason I choose to set the image around 2021 and not 24 is because I have a piece of lore about a war that starts in 22 that happens in the 29A timeline, and it has something to do with an AI Sentient Machine army. I'll be doing more lore relating to this event, and this war at a later date and when I release the official 29A timeline) while on their usual service to seaside town of Searonby. Tarmingham City Centre is as it's name implies is located in the centre of the city of Tarmingham serving it's main financial and shopping district and is a major interchange and junction on the Overhead with both the line to Ronston Quarter another major junction with lines from there branching off to Walaceton, Searonby, Greenham, and the south city line to band the line to Blburgh Oakland, and the station is where the western city line to Slaidon Marsh begins and is a starting point for the newest line on the Overhead the city circle line, and consists of four platforms.

Opening with the first section of the Overhead in 1864 as part of the line to Walaceton, albeit without delay after an incident that occurred at the station that became the railways first major accident, when a supplies train was driven by a bunch of rioting protesters from the southern part of the city at full speed off the end of the then under construction station with the engines boiler exploding upon impact with the ground, destroying and damaging several nearby buildings in the process with the engines boiler being sent flying thousands of feet into the air and landing inside the hull of a merchant freighter. The station opening as part of the section between GER's terminus at Tarmingham Piccadilly Street and the GE&SEJR's terminus at Ruston Quarter as part of the Overheads efforts to provide easy access to the docks and to allow the overhead to expand further to Walaceton. The station became a major junction for the Slaidon Marsh line after that lines opening in 1876 which allowed passengers to exchange between trains running on that line and the Walaceton line.

Since it's opening the station has gone through at least two redevelopments throughout it's life, with the first from 1971-1974 and the second from 2010-2015, with the bridge it was built on and the stairs leading up to the platforms being the renovated but others the only elements of the original station to remain standing, with the station being the busiest station the Overhead's network and the busiest in Tarmingham with it continuing to fill it's role as the city centres most important public transport hub with the station having since received a third line to serve that being the Circle line which opened in 2017.

A couple of little arts/commissions for my wonderful bf of both his classic car girls 💖 I'm so proud of him for keeping the love for these special vehicles alive 🥰

I was asked to name the new red/white 57 Ford convertible, so of course I knew I just had to give her something retro and perfect ❤️

I'm excited to see what the future holds for all of us together

October tradition to post this freak. He now has a ref sheet. Took me like a year or two to finally get around to making him one LOL?? He needed time to cook in my brain. Like yknow like, rotate around in a mental microwave until ready, that kinda thing. Heres his extra info I wrote on disc and a few other things below the cut if you wanna read that or whatever since I yap too much

This guy is pretty much more than a Pixar Cars OC or a LM to me. I want to make him real. Though without the weird symbiote stuff of course! He's the reason why I want to study automechanics as a hobby. I have pretty much everything prepared and ready for when I eventually get a 74'. Websites with the service manual archived, I follow various AMC enthusiast and collector social medias, and a trade school I'm looking into as a last resort for learning. I even talk to people irl and online about it. Even some of my family who have experience w mechanics(My uncle owned a Pacer once and loved it and has a pretty positive view on AMC. Didn't speak to him for awhile and he yapped to me for an hour on the phone about mechanics and AMC's). I had the coolest convo with someone a couple days ago. Dude approached us while I was helping my dad w putting groceries in our car, he was living on borrowed time. Worked as a mechanic, told him all about this since I figured he'd understand. The most unexpected thing happened, he told me he a Gremlin with a supercharger, the 304 CID v8, and loved it and said it was a beast. He wished me luck getting my own. Bet he was no doubt, pretty surprised that someone who looks physically 16 is talking about a 50 year old car that he probably drove back in the 70's and 80's and understood what he was talking about. Funnily enough it was the same store parking lot I saw a red AMC AMX parked in once! People like that are the reason why I want to make him a reality and work on older vehicles like him, it feels right, and its on my bucket list. I have gotten nothing but support and other mechanics online willing to assist me, and sometimes the "You have strange taste, why though? That is a ugly car". But still its funny anyway, and thats the point, no? There is def something unique about these cars, they are a eyecatcher.

❤️💚🚁 Pixar meets Living Machines 🚁💚❤️

In an alternative universe, during a firehot summer, some military vehicles and aircrafts are chosen to help out in certain wildfire areas, who don't have enough trained vehicles and aircrafts available. Lance and Aiden where chosen to help out the team of piston peak air attack and while Aiden immediately got along with everyone, Lance had his struggles with one person in specific; the chief Blade Ranger.

Both helicopters being incredibly dominant and stubborn, they had a hard time getting along. Lance hated to be pushed around by someone even if they are above him, he got his own rules, which Blade is definitely not amused by.

Those two will be facing a lotta struggle with each other during the summer 💚❤️

I've planned this AU about a year back and I'm starting to think I'll be making it canon, just because I have some ideas of how I can involve Blade and the others of Piston Peak Air Attack into Lance's story that would actually work out quite well ❤️

May share more about that in the future 👀✨️

While Ruleton was speaking in his office on the phone negotiating with the BR locomotive department for the loaning of a DMU. Outside at the station's main concourse. A lone Class 47 wearing the livery of the Overhead yellow and orange with black cab windows and with the number DTO3 stood looking up at the windows to the offices from a vantage point at Platform three. With a long face he wondered how his manager was coping after the meeting with Alistair earlier. He had seen the staff who were with Ruleton earlier leave the offices for home earlier with looks of disappointment on their faces and uncertainty. To him they were the looks of hopelessness as a sign of them losing hope, and when seeing that losing of hope he immediately knew what the outcome of the meeting was, and it wasn’t in the railways favour. For as long as the 47 could remember since had arrived on the railway, he knew that Alistair had been cutting subsidies to his owners railway as part of his and his corporate partners intention to eliminate the cities public transport network having heard the rumours from the residence, and he had seen it all come true unfold before his very eyes. The overhead bridges and structures were in a desperate state of repair and could collapse at any moment, the carriage stock was broken and outdated, they were in short supply of locomotives due to his owner being unable to afford another one, and a lot of the railways staff had been laid off due to Ruleton being unable to pay, leaving them with only a few staff in each department left. Seeing that this last meeting had once again failed to turn things around for the better and get Alistair to see sense in his actions towards the railway. The 47 felt there was no hope for the railway to get out of its financial situation, and with the election coming up next month he knew the outcome would be in Alistair's favour, and he would go through with his intentions of cutting the final subsidies the overhead had been on life support on, finishing the railway off for good, and Highstruct would win. The sinking feeling of what will eventually happen, made him feel that his home, which had been the whole world to him, would finally come crashing down once Alistair put his plan after his reelection into action. He wished there was something he could do to help save the overhead and save his home. But he was afraid that he would only make the situation worse for the railway and his manager. Alistair most likely wouldn’t take his words seriously, as he saw his kind as nothing but an outdated piece of technology that was a relic of a bygone era that was now over, and were to be replaced by a technology that gave people the so-called freedom to go anywhere, and he believed was superior to them in every single way possible. Contrary to the truth that he and his friends, including his manager, saw in front of them with their own eyes, everyday. “I want to raise my voice and stand up to Alistair and show him the consequences his and his cronies' actions are bringing upon everyone in Tarmingham… But I might only make everything worse and no one will understand me or take me seriously anyway… There is nothing I can do to save my home, this railway…” the 47 said sadly to himself, as he lowered his eyes in sadness as he slowly rolled away back to the shed. Feeling that nothing could be done to save the overhead within the next month, and convinced that Alistair and HighwayStruct would finally win the battle. However, what he didn’t know was that the overhead’s situation was about to change for the better, and it would come with the DMU’s that Ruleton was about to meet and bring to his railway.

Another Illustration done for Chapter 1 of TFTTOH Book 1, this one is near to the end of the chapter where we're introduced to another major character in the story, Andrew the Class 47 who is standing at platform two at Tarmingham Piccadilly Street station looking hopeless after eavesdropping on the meeting between his railways owner Mr. Ruleton and the cities mayor Alistair Lancaster over where the funding for the overhead was going, with the outcome not being in the railways favour. With him being afraid about losing his home after the next election in which he fears Alistair is sure to win for sure and would cut the final subsidies from the railway afterwards, and wishes he could do something to help save it, but fears that he would only make the situation worse for the railway and his manager, believing no one will understand him. Convincing himself that Alistair and HighwayStruct will win for sure, little knowing that the railways situation is about to change for the better.
