Some train facts that may help for your living train oc:

(From a dude who is a train mechanic and casually drives subways and city trains for years.)

Trains eat a lot of sand, some prefer mixtures with oil and other minerals but no matter what train you choose for your oc, sand is a crucial substitute for a healthy and happy train.

Rails are lubed by trains. The more trains drive on the same track the smoother the ride. (Fun idea if you wanna follow a train’s traces.)

Trains, including electric trains require a variety of oil, lubes, fluids and other liquids to operate. (Fun ideas for food or cosmetics products for trains. Fr, some materials look so freaking delicious)

Sudden and fast movements are painful for trains and can bend trails. Trains are powerful but they need more time to build up speed.

Subway trains have a burning hatred for pigeons. The amount of dead pigeons in tunnels is INSANE, despite all efforts to stop them from entering tunnels, pigeons are very passionate about flying into their dead trap.

The newest generation of trains panic about little intervention. Very anxious and scream at lot (at the driver)

All trains have graffiti on them. If it’s not outside then it’s on the inside.

Street trains or bims are like chihuahuas in my eyes. They may be small but they are thought and ready to fight anyone.

Modern Trains have several cameras inside and outside, they can see all around their body or what their passengers are up to.

Some trains are whiny bitches and constantly need service while others never complain about anything for years. (There is a fucked up reason for that but that’s a deep rabbit hole I won’t go into the details)

You don’t want to meet train drivers, they’re insane.

You absolutely don’t want to meet subway drivers, they’re insane beyond measure.

Trains honk at everything that’s near their trails.

Trains are surprisingly quiet while moving on trails. They can take you by surprise. (They did many times) Please stay away from trails.

Stopping a train is difficult, it’s nothing like a car or truck, When they arrive into a station, trains hit their brakes way before they can see the station. That’s why trains can’t stop in time when there is an obstacle on the rails.

All trains have ONE head. Most modern trains rear and front end look exactly the same, both ends have cockpits with very similar controls but their main controls are located on the head. They look like that to confuse predators.

This is optional but it makes sense to me that trains are very sensitive about their rails, they treat them like it’s part of their body, especially the ones in their region and base. You can’t compare them like cars on the road, it’s a completely different dynamic for trains.

That’s all for now, I started writing this in July and collected ideas over the months from my personal experience with driving and fixing trains. I will probably do a part 2 since I still have a lot to learn. You should be able to look up everything on the internet.

Feel free to add your own ideas below.

I just started liking cars but now I've immediately gone off-track-

Anyone else seen the leaked concept art for Metro? They make me want to draw... backgrounds..! (although clearly, I decided to draw something else)

[jigsaw173]

was looking for some more you know what but i stumbled upon these, which i think are pretty cool enough to share. got what seems to be early planes sketches as well as some early metro and boats stuff?

this scene is intriguing imagining the implications behind it but cool nonetheless

aaah aircraft carriers... beloved.. and look! more boats! really cool thinking how a boat bar would look... :eyes:

i can certainly see this as an early metro sketch bc it looks very similar to another metro art i’ve seen

artist is kenny mcgill. praying i don’t get metro’d

My brain is melting over the metro concept art im????????

I can and will create my own entire metro movie if I have to!!

SAME HERE!!! I CANT BELIEVE THIS MOVIE WAS CANCELED!!! If you want, I can help you make our own version of the movie!

[boeingboingboing]

All these are nothing but posters for the movie. Man they give off absolute sick vibes! So coooool.

2nd one... no clue but Metro (the character) seems to be going through smth? Maybe insecurities? I have no clue and I cannot guess exactly due to the limited amount of sources. But taking up the drawing where he dreamt of derailing and there's another pic where it has like bunch of trains looking like they are judging him? Or atleast I think..

4th, 5ht and 6th pics all showcase NY and what a busy city is. The 5th pic shows probably the NY railyard. Cause it seems to be the meeting/resting place of various trains from different lines.

These are just a glance of the whole movie vibe and some conceptual pósters

Return to Oz (1985, Walter Murch)

02/02/2024

Return to Oz is a 1985 film directed by Walter Murch, an unofficial sequel to the famous film The Wizard of Oz directed by Victor Fleming and produced by MGM in 1939. The film earned an Oscar nomination for best special effects.

Several months have passed since the events of The Wizard of Oz, and Dorothy Gale is melancholy because she continues to do nothing but dream of her magical adventure, and that Uncle Henry and Aunt Emma don't believe her.

Later, Dorothy discovers to her horror the Yellow Brick Path in ruins and, running along it with Billina, finds the Emerald City, Grey, desert, largely destroyed and with petrified inhabitants, including the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion.

The film was produced by Walt Disney Pictures without the collaboration of MGM, or Warner Bros., the studio that currently holds the rights to the 1939 film.

The film's screenplay is based on L. Frank Baum's second and third novels, The Marvelous Land of Oz and Ozma of Oz, both sequels to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

George Lucas, Murch's friend and colle8, had to personally intervene, guaranteeing the studio that he would act as executive producer or even director in case of problems.

The soundtrack of the film was entrusted to the composer and musical writer David Shire, also know for numerous TV soundtracks, theater musical and for many films including Saturday Night Fever. The entire musical sequence from Dorothy's Theme to the Rag March of the final scene is accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra.

The Italian dubbing of the film was directed by Renato Izzo, Gruppo Trenta.

On home video, in Italy, the film was released in VHS format by Walt Disney Home Video in 1986. The DVD was released in 2013 in the Disney Family Classics series.

Writer Joan D. Vinge adapted the film's screenplay into a novel.

Carstober day 4: Tunnel

As I’ve mentioned before in another post, there are a lot of dead pigeons in subway tunnels. Every worker I know hates pigeons and many subway drivers try to kill them on purpose. So yeah here is Metro passing by a bunch of dead pigeon planes.

Gosh I love all the details in the concept art for Metro. It’s crazy cool. I love the ones showing the trains just doing ordinary things, like the bar drawing.

[flying-machine07]

thinking about Beyond the Sky and Metro (mostly Beyond the Sky) again

[boeingboingboing]

the 1st pic is the one i referred to in the previous post, about Metro feeling insecure or uneasy around other trains. BUT it is named "Jersey boys". And if ya search up NJ metro trains, they'll look similiar to the ones in the pic. I think both lines connect both cities together. Maybe he's got something agasint them or the other way round? HMMM.

2nd pic was named "Metro and Eddy" on the wiki. And- Eddy is a literal diner. Is he a train turned into diner? I've heard of the concept. Just a maybe cause it would be weird for a diner to be alive- I presume that's a way trains seek to earn themselves something after retirement? Something like the picture below..

The 3rd pic is "Subway station" according to wiki. It shows how crazy NY subways can get I suppose lol. I mean there's an Ice cream truck that looks like it got flinged into the air- alas I ain't American tho xD.

4th, 5th, 6th and 7th pics are all related to a train bar. This is actually something cool for me. I always wondered how would big vehicles, like trains, airliners/bombers/cargo aircraft, and ships go to bars or generally have a place to hang out and have fun. Yeah specially made places must be there + the place being operated by a vehicle same as those they are serving makes more sense lol. It's all wild to think about fr.

Last one is named "Tron beat" as per Wiki. No idea what they mean. Perhaps another dream? Or is it some really bad mishap that Metro went through? We can only guess sadly..

And that's it for my metro spam. I might sketch around some cause man they look cool and I absolutely adore Metro either way. A shame this movie was cancelled.

Metro concept art (4/4)

Another pics where we can suppose that Metro had a more darker vibe

And that will be all!! Praying for not being sued or something by Disney bc after all this is still their property
