#thank you for the ask but yeah Stanley has very low self esteem and confidence that he hides behind borderline self hatred he has so much

For you

Also 3 Questions for Stanley

1: have you got to meet your siblings before? Like the trench engine Davenport

2: do you ever wish you could visit your other home in the states?

3: if you could be rebuilt into any engine you want what would it be?

Stanley: oh?! For…for me….uh…heh thank you I think?(I don’t know why you bother, I’m boring…). Well starting off, I was one of 495 locomotives in the class to be built and I was immediately sent off overseas though I was not in a serviceable condition(guess that where my rotten luck began…the moment where I was bulit)… so I had to be fixed in a workshop which took over a month, that’s where I received my.. my first firing..

(perhaps that where my rotten luck began…I shouldn’t have been built in the first place)..

As a result , I never got to meet my “siblings”, especially this “Davenport fellow”…though from what I’ve hear of some went sent to other countries and railways like Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, Morocco 🇲🇦,Australia 🇦🇺 and India 🇮🇳(Kyle…he said he would take me to India 🇮🇳…I miss him) though I do have brothers in the form of Luke, we love talking about anything if we get the time too and… tired sigh… Andreas, Stuart and Falcon, I love them but…grumpy grouchy eldest sibling sigh..and the last two are mean’t to be older than me…

I’m… torn on visiting the states as I must admit.. I don’t have any feelings or connections to that place that automatically sent me off to a new country to fight in the exact same year I was built and especially the flaws that place has though from what Miss Ruth told me about her hometown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as long as the others come with me they’ll maybe one day I’ll visit but for now I’m content with just staying here 

As for the last question… I… I wish wished I was rebuilt in any engine that wouldn’t..just screw up everything…anything would be better than me…perhaps an engine built by the Hunslet Engine Company like Nia and Freddie…as long as it’s not standard gauge (I’m… I’m terrified to think about what he would’ve done to me….) though I wish I was built in and for India 🇮🇳, maybe then….maybe then Kyle and I would’ve been together (I would’ve protected him better)
