The nice thing is that you have all the other engines, who get to not be The Oldest Fuckin' Engine in This Joint once more and just be one of the gang, coz at Clapham the responsibilities of seniority fall to the big C's:

Cornwall (super up his own tender, luckily too superior to really bother with anyone but his own L.N.W.R. coterie)

Coppernob (insane, actually insane - but in like a chill way - all right, he's kinda terrifying when he startles out of his sleep thinking that they're all being bombed - but he does keep the L.N.W.R. lot in check, duzin'ee?), and

Columbine (stuck being the actual adult in the room, luckily she does it very well and rules them all with a light easy touch. stately and gracious, she keeps them in order enough to actually fulfill their public duties but lets them act out after-hours - and they all love her for it)

#cornwall and coppernob *were* always tense with each other #but it was useful coz then the younger lot could play one against the other and usually get their way lol #ray davies definitely wrote a song for columbine #... tragically it did not age well lol #anyway. and then there's the rocket replica all outside by himself. mournfully thinking that the parties sound great.#forever assuring the bobbies that there's 'nothing going on' and keeping them out #pour one out
