I've alluded to the concept a number of times, but here's my redesign for OLC Belle the Sleeping Car wildly roleswapped into a Momma/Poppa figure for Electra, as Belle the GG1. You could probably give her a better name, but Belle is passable enough since all locomotives in the US have bells, I mainly kept it to preserve the flow of her song (see below cut for her version!). Based on their status and appearance in their absolute final running days in 1984. They may look glossy and pretty (if a WILD time warp) but they were on their absolute last gasp physically at this point after running for nearly 50 years, due to a lack of suitable replacement. Her dress follows a similar logic to Greaseball's outfit in that it represents the streamlined cowl, which is why she's less mechanical than most.

Personality-wise, she's also oooooold and based on Ella Fitzgerald, even more heavily than OLC Belle since she's fits perfectly with the time/place/personality of the GG1s. Both started in the mid-30s in New York City, and were noted for being "effortless" and almost unparalleled in their field. I tend to imagine her playing more on the "cute, humble, and improvisational" side of Ella, entering the big race just to have one last good run before she retires, and forgetting lyrics and making up something that sounds natural. In my mind she wins because the tracks are rough and winding, which she's far more used to that the other Nationals, with how decrepit parts of her Northeast Corridor were in the 80s and still are now- experience is a quality that counts for a lot!

She toes the line between OC and AU since she's such a twist on the original but stays largely true to her general concept. I'll call her more of an AU and say anyone is free to use this interpretation if they want, I'm not possessive of it at all.

Realistically she'd be dead as a doornail after 1984 (GG1s will just never run in preservation, they were in such bad shape and would need so much work to function on modern systems you may as well build a new replica). But make a cheeky joke about Controls' mom "sticking the old shell on a new body and not telling the kid" and she can come back. I like to think she'd have a flirty, playful rivalry with Momma/Poppa, she'd make Light At The End Of The Tunnel a duet about how steam is great.... for power plants! The Pennsylvania Railroad just stopped getting more steam engines when it electrified lines vs axing them so she wouldn't have any historical antagonism with them.

Here's my rewrite of Belle's Song largely following the original format, but now about the real history of the GG1s

Speed and youth ain't everything

Experience is a quality that counts for a lot

The sad thing 'bout experience is

By the time you've got it

It's usually all you've got...

I'm Belle, Belle, Belle, the GG1

Had my fifty years of fun

My frame is cracked, I’m almost done

Though in my heart, I long to run

I hauled the folks, I hauled the freight

I made good time, no need to wait

Just couple up and ride with me

I’d get you where you want to be

Once I was the hope for the future, wires run from coast to coast

Service every hour, to everywhere, hauling the post!

Now it’s just tragic…

The war then came, it all fell down

Restriction made the new tech drown

Let autos win, pave over it all

Watched the railroads slowly fall

Still I was a real mainliner, they struggled to replace me

Ran commuter trains into the ground

Down by the sea…. At least it was scenic

Oh, Belle, Belle, Belle, the GG-LOST

I’m worn down, yet I’m still boss

I may not be first class, but I'm not yet worst class

I can still take you when the night is dark

I’m withered, but I ain’t lost my spark

S-sunshine??

Come on, editors, I can understand getting background characters mixed up and their names wrong, but the name of the current pov character being wrong and not getting picked up on in editing is kind of crazy

[rubber-glovs]

This shit's going in the Pahkitew video - why did the writters do Sky like that in the final episode??? Why did they do that???? The show really spent the last two episodes setting Sky up as someone who, while competitive, values good sportsmanship and playing by the rules - you'd assume this extends to relationships and being honest right? Or just not liking cheaters?

And like, whatever she's feeling for Dave she doesn't want to be around him and it says alot about him that he had to have Sky kiss him for him to be motivated to help her win, but also SKY WOULD NOT DO THAT. SHE WOULDN'T LIE TO HIM ABOUT WANTING TO GO ON A DATE AFTER THE SHOW IS OVER WHY WOULD SHE?

Oh, and the whole "she had a boyfriend back home this entire time!!!"? Yeah, that's bullshit to me. it feels like a half hearted attempt at the writters at making the tables between Sky and Dave less unbalanced in Sky's favor in terms of how bad the relationship is so we could go "oh they're both bad" despite the fact Dave's the one that broke her boundaries, didn't take her rejection the first time, ignored her "but" the first time and while neither of them communicated well in the middle of the season, dude is fucking DESPERATE man. I bet you anything if episode 13 didn't exist, everyone would be on Sky's side. everyone.

HELL, even with the boyfriend twist, girl didn't wanna date him she just wanted to win the money! she wanted to break up with that boyfriend! She made a mistake, a big one yes, but that's not justification to me for hating her, unless you're like allergic to cheaters in which case boy do i hope you also hate duncan with a passion then!

Urgh... can you tell i really don't like the last episode? Like Pahk'd with talent's already a meh episode, but Lies, Cries and One Big Prize sucks even more since it's issues apply to every character and not just the show feeling especially rigged against Sugar just to get her eliminated (kind of like how they did the challenge in Sky Fall just to get rid of Jasmine).

uh TLDR Sky ooc moment bad, Sky good character and Dave needs therapy.
