Arrival of the Late Trains by Volodymyr Briukvin, 1900s

The Talyllyn Railway running shed. Detail shots of the locomotives.

During my visit, our guides took us off of the train and into the running shed for a short walkthrough tour. By this time, Talyllyn had been put away. Edward Thomas hadn't run that day, and so stood cold but magnificent, wearing works grey, at the back. In the adjoining shed, Sir Haydn had just returned from her visit to the Corris, a visit which saw the Corris' own No. 3 make its way to the Talyllyn for a while.

So, we have represented in this shed, no less than three former builders: Fletcher Jennings, Kerr Stuart, and Hughs. Not pictured is the little Ruston diesel, Midlander. She was off her wheels in the shop.

Darlington (Chilchuck x GN!Reader)

Summary: First Meet With Chilchuck <3

If the Island Dungeon was known for one thing, it'd be danger. Then again that was the same for most Dungeons, but well...Lately, it'd gotten worse. Rumours of a Red Dragon prowling on a higher floor than usual and even the Dungeon Lord appearing higher than normal!

As a traveller to the island, you'd chosen to stay out of the dungeon. You'd be either an idiot to enter without a reliable party and most of those wouldn't take a new adventurer like you... Although, you had made a "business contact" which turned out to be a friendship. Chilchuck Tims, the head of the Half-foot union, was said contact.

The rumours you'd heard didn't paint him in a very good light, per se. Other half-foots called him greedy, demanding his pay upfront and taking union dues from members. Parties without a half-foot called him uncooperative and stubborn in terms of pricing, even if he was a skilled and tenured locksmith.

So by the time you'd met him, there was a small impression forming in the back of your mind despite your better judgment. Yet...he wasn't at all the way.

Chilchuck was mild-mannered, with a voice in an even tone and despite his race's common features, it was easy to tell he wasn't all that young. His hair was grey in places, and visible tear-throughs (wrinkles just beneath the eyes). Despite his professional demeanour, there was a sense of tiredness to him. Languished sighs and irritation at his fellow party members.

But he was kind enough to you. A bit of a smile while talking to you, or a careful piece of advice. Unlike everyone had said him to be, he seemed to have a good heart. From what you could tell, who knew, maybe it was just how professionals were on the island.

It'd been about a week since you last talked to him, his party had gone into the depths of the dungeon and not returned. It was concerning, but you weren't that close anyways...no use for your worries. A hope that he would come back safe is what you kept as you went on with your business.

Sorry this is so short! tbh I kind of forgot where I wanted to go with this </3 Buuut, promise I'll make a continuation sometime so you can get some romance content chil fandom

Steam 2-8-2 SY #1676 in Baotou, China, 2008 by Ben Kletzer

The spectacular slag dump at Baotou steelworks as seen with SY #1676. At one time, Baotou had dozens of steam locomotives in daily service, but by this point in 2008 only seven SY 2-8-2's remained. Already most of these steam locomotives were idle every day, while a massive fleet of new diesels served the steelworks. The once bustling steam shop was already barren of equipment and awaiting demolition. But all of this could be forgotten while watching a SY struggle with 1200 tons of molten steel on the slag tip. Within a six months, the steel mill would be fully dieselized and SY 1676 would be nothing more than razor blades.
