#Old Toy Trains

[nadiajustbe]

Random Pendragon family concept idea: since Morgan's magic is really, and by this I mean really unstable, it's was pretty hard time to get him playing with toys. Mostly because every magic-based toy they buy in Ingary ends up being affected by Morgan's even more powerful magic, causing it to break, or multiply or start flying across the room unconditionally (remember the story with toy horses in HoMW? This, but 24/7 and ten times more loud)

The only solution for this problem — gratefully presented byHowl, because who else — was sneaking children's toys from Wales until the time Morgan grows up old enough to control at least the smallest part of his powers. This decision was made because things frow "Howl's world" are generally less affected by magic. (mechanics and magic do not mix much, as to use magic you have to break all the laws of physics mechanics works on, and to do mechanics you have to refuse all the magical manner). Also they're rather easy to navigate and much easier to control.

At least Howell thinks so. Sophie, quite the contrary, keeps bumping on them, pushing buttons accidentally over and over (see, the toys she had didn't have any buttons) and cursing their "strange Welsh power" to the point they start disappearing from the house. Wether Sophie charms them to disappear or simply throws them out the window, no one knows. She doesn't say.

Morgan absolutely loves his toys, though. Although he thinks it was much funnier when they could fly — higher and higher.

What the fuck is wrong with the executives behind streaming services and why do they hate cartoons. Do they have some bull shit excuse for the garbage they pull? Did cartoons kill their grandma!? WHAT IS THEIR PROBLEM???

So a while back, I decided to do a little digging in the garage and managed to find some of my childhood train sets. I could go on about the magical feeling of holding the little engines in my hands for the first time in over a decade and a half, re-living the childhood nostalgia if only for a little bit. Then of course, I know there's gonna be some work in restoring them to their former glory.

But that's not what I want to focus on right now.

Instead, I want to talk about James.

Of the engines that I managed to find during my garage digging, the majority of them were in good condition. One in particular, Lady, was basically perfect. I haven't checked their insides yet for battery corrosion (Lady doesn't have batteries, she's one of those little ones with the magnets), but from the outside, they all look pretty good.

Except one. James.

His face had turned yellow from sun damage.

James has always been my favorite. I suspect that he turned out this way because I played with him the most.

Knowing how much James values his appearance, I imagine he would definitely lament this fact. Why should a Splendid Engine like him be the only one to suffer significant, visible damage? Why did the years of play and storage take a toll on only him and virtually no one else?

Then I imagine Edward would be the one to comfort him. After all, the two of them were found together.

Edward would be the one to remind James that he's still the same Splendid Engine he always was, even with the sun damage. In fact, he probably turned out this way BECAUSE he was so beloved. It meant that he spent more time outside the storage box, where the sun would be able to reach him in the first place.

And after all, to be loved is to be changed.

And somebody has to be the favorite.

Somebody has to be James.

My mom: I don't get Starlight Express. I just don't understand it.

Me: . . . but you love Cats?

My Mom: Cats is phenomenal! Starlight Express has some great songs but I just can't get over the rollerskates.

Me: . . . THAT'S WHAT YOUR HUNG UP ON?!

My sister: Would you rather they Tim Conway's Old Man style shuffled across the stage?

My Mom: Yes, actually. That would make more sense.

Me: *Tries to process what just happened*

(This is paraphrased a bit but it is a real conversation i had with my mom yesterday (My sister was just kinda in the room). There were so many things about this conversation that made me go 'wut???' and i just had to share)

ERTL's old coaches. ERTL is, I believe, the only toy company to make models of these coaches. You know, as a kid, I always thought that the old coaches appeared more times than they actually did. As it is, they only appeared in series 1.
