Closeups under cut

You can just tell where I started to give up lol

[awesomecoolfandomart]

here they come!

C.B. headcanons because I'm insane about him!!!!

(productions will be specified if needed ^^)

Original London Cast C.B.

He sometimes forgets that he's not on radio and uses 10-codes while talking to people face to face

He has dyed his mustache before for the rockies when they were 'younger' (or however trains age)

Always has a small comb in his pocket even though he never uses it bc of his hat lmao

He loves 80s slang sm and is always using it. He says tubular and radical unironically and thats kind of iconic

He is SUCH a morning person! It's almost annoying how early he gets up and moving. He is out of the house by 6a and he just has to meander the tracks bc no one is up and work doesn't start until 8a

Pre-2018 Bochum Caboose

He wears suspenders and its so so bad. The ugliest things you've ever laid eyes on

TMI doesn't exist between him and Dinah.

^ Off of that: They've been friends since she arrived at the yard! I like to imagine that they got there around the same time, maybe Caboose a few months before

Seasonal depression like a mf but in the summer. He HATES the summer sm because he doesn't like the heat, and then he and his partner (either Electra or Greaseball bc i can't pick) can't cuddle without sweating to death

The can of pomade hates to see him coming. He uses so much, frankly TOO much, product in his hair. It's like a ritual that he takes like half an hour to do his maybe 6 inches of hair.

He isn't a morning person. Unlike OLC c.b., you cannot get him up before 8 and he is late to work almost, if not every day. How he hasn't been fired is a question no one can find the answer to.

im not doing B.V. because I strongly dislike him🩷 (im working on it but its so hard to like him when olc cb and caboose are right there) (im sorry bv likers😔)

Thought I’d Draw CB and his Dad(also named CB but goes by his middle name, AV, more). First day on the job as a caboose photo which is definitely in one of those ‘family photos album’ books.

And without the yellowish filter

The lighter hair tips on little CB(who’s about 14 in the picture) are to imply his hair got a lot darker at some point as he aged up and there’s still evidence of his light hair but not for long.

They’ve also got nametags and their radios on them.

1983 workshop Electra and olc CB

[starlightdust-dreamergalaxy]

I'm wholehearted dream right there with you absolutely love og OLC CB.

I just absolutely adore that silly trucker man so God damn much. te he 🥰🥰

Also whole heartedly love Michael Staniforth, God I wish he was still with us. He was taken so very to soon. oof 😔❤️‍🩹✨

i know it’s pretty common that cb enjoyers enjoy his clown/toy soldier look more than his original design which was supposed to look more like a trucker but tbh i think trucker ceeb is my favorite :3 i think it has to do with the fact that michael staniforth is my top favorite cb voice.. but i dunno i just love little trucker cb. he’s so cute and evil

[two-pears-in-a-trenchcoat]

genuinely would give up both my kidneys to see Bobby Collins as CB

[tabooi]

one of the funniest quirks of the early london production is how often the actors accidentally slip into calling dinah "diner" because they're trying so hard to do american accents

StEx Appreciation Month Day Seventeen and Eighteen: The Cabeese (Pre/Post 2018)!

Does anyone remember draw your squad memes? Anyway, I'm cramming all three of these guys below the cut.

OLC! Caboose

Love this funky guy!

Favorite Songs/Moments: C.B. is hands down the funkiest song on the OLC! Album and Michael Staniforth was absolutely incredible!! I also love his verses in Freight, especially the way he says 'Hello!' He sounds like such a goober!

Favorite Costume: I think there's just the one, but I love it! You go Mr. Baseball-Playing-Trucker-Man!

Favorite Ships: I don't actively ship him with anyone but I don't mind OLC! Electraboose

Unpopular opinions: I don't think I have any

CB the Red Caboose

He's just a silly fun-time boy!

Favorite Songs/Moments: Wide Smile, the handshake bit with Electra during Wide Smile, taunting Rusty. There's one boot where he kicks Rusty in the face after crashing him and I don't know why but it's actually so funny (poor Rusty though!) Can we also get some appreciation for Todd Lester's splits! And Hans Johansson's dancing/acrobatics!

Favorite Costume: It's stayed pretty consistent, but why change it when it's already perfect!

Favorite Ships: I don't ship him with anyone, I actually hc him as aromantic (though I am partial to Idiot Sandwich purely for shits and giggles)

Unpopular opinions: I don't like the version of Wide Smile with the pop culture references at the beginning, it just kinda breaks my immersion

BV the Break Van

The bastard weasel man (affectionate)!

Favorite Songs/Moments: Mein Spiel! I'm glad he gets his own time to shine during the MegaMix! Watching him sneak around and negotiate with GB and Elektra is so fun! He's also great during Pumping Iron

Favorite Costume: There's only been one, but two-tone glove supremacy!!

Favorite Ships: Beelektra and Carriebee

Unpopular opinions: I love him! And I think he fits better contextually with the updated show

OLC Electraboose on the mind rn.. HEAD CANONS!2!1!

- Most mornings, since he is such a morning person, C.B. will get breakfast from a nearby bakery! But Electra likes cooking so he usually makes lunch and dinner^^

- The components live with them😭 Electra relies on the too much for them to live in separate sheds so they all live together lmao. To compromise with C.B. though, they have an extra big place with LOTS of space, so like half of the shed is the components' and the other half is C.B.'s and Electra's

- Electra's morning routine is outrageous. He has to eat breakfast, style his hair, get dressed, have Volta do his makeup/paint, and have Wrench do a quick look over and fix anything that may be wrong.

- C.B., on the other hand, gets dressed, does any makeup/paint he may need, and gets breakfast. A simple man at his finest

- Electra calls C.B. nice pet names like "Dear", "Darling", "my love", "sweetheart", etc. and C.B. calls him the worst names to make fun of him. Stuff like "Cotton Ball", "Teddy Bear", etc etc. It pisses off Electra so so bad

thanks for reading sksbjsbsvsb

I have a digital rendition of this work sketch scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Now I will go either draw some Dinahboose(because they are on my mind and I found a great picture to redraw) or lay down and sleep. Whichever one I seem to be more inclined to within the next hour.
