Thinking about disabled engines. :3

Engines that are blind and as a result, have to rely on their other senses to get around. They're better at it than even humans, because I believe that engines have better memory and observation skills than us. Maybe they get special aids, made specifically for engines. Like an engine equivalent of a cane, but it's more like a wire on their buffers, to let them know if they're approaching something. Their crews help them too, almost becoming seeing eye dogs for them.

Engines that designs were flawed and it impacted their lives in a certain way. Maybe they learn to work with it, like Duck and Boco. Or maybe they get "corrective surgery", like Henry.

Engines with mental or developmental disabilities like Sidney, who have short term memory loss and maybe forget things easily. Or maybe it's something else like autism or ADHD. But everyone let's them take their time, and helps them if needed, because GOSH they know they trying. The life of an engine is hard enough already. (As someone with ADHD, this one in particular is very important to me. Just found out today that ADHD and Autism are officially recognized as disabilities! So that's interesting!)

Engines that can't see well like Whiff, and have to get glasses made specifically for engines. And engine optometrists that can get them the correct prescription lenses.

Engine Specific doctors and engineers, they make it their life duty to help these disabled engines and get them back in working order, therefore saving them from scrap. Because if there are optometrists that work on them, there are surely doctors in different fields as well.

Disability Activists, both humans ones and engine ones, that speak out for disabled people and engines. Helping them to get rights, and their special needs met like they deserve.

And, yeah. That's about it. I you can see, I find this stuff very fascinating. :)

Some of this stuff is inspired by @joezworld's world building, which I greatly enjoy. Also some awesome TTTE ocs I've seen floating around. And also some amazing disabled people and family members I have known.

Thanks for for reading!

I completely agree. (There ARE - wait, nevermind. Forget I asked. Of COURSE there are…) both Sidney and Paxton are simple, and a bit…slower…mentally. They are technically adults, but mentally and emotionally more like children, and that’s not comfortable. That’s wrong. They shouldn’t be taken advantage of like that. If u want to STILL do the ship, maybe have cousins or twin brothers that r like them, but more mentally/emotionally capable.

Paxton - Raccoon with diesel engine wheels on his legs

Sidney - Tennessee Walking Horse with train wheels on his legs

Norman - Bengal Cat with train wheels on his legs

Den - Dutch Rabbit with train wheels on his legs

Dart - Dwarf Rabbit with train wheels on his legs

Philip - domestic shorthair kitten with train wheels

The sprites belong to @Princess-Muffins on DA

So a 2013 character bible just leaked on Twitter(unsure if it’s made it’s way here yet?) and a ton of characters have additional info in it. Most notably is that Norman and Paxton were sent to Sodor together, and Sidney just.. wandered onto the Steamship delievering them and never left.

Sidney made his way into Tidmouth Yard. A pair of empty trucks stood on his line.

“Maybe those are what I’m supposed to bring back?” Sidney thought to himself.

Unfortunately, he misjudged how quickly he was coming in, and bumped into the trucks.

“Ow! Ow!” They cried.

“Sorry!” Sidney winced. “Um, are you the trucks I’m taking back to the Coaling Plant?”

“Absolutely not!” One huffed, indignantly.

“We’re going to carry fruit bound for Vicarstown, not some filthy, dusty old coal!”

“Oh.”

“Can we help you?” Asked a worker.

“Uh yeah, where should I leave these?”

“Uhh… not here.” The worker replied. “We didn’t order any coal trucks.”

“Oh. Wait - these are for Crosby!” Sidney yelped. “What am I doing?!”

The worker sighed, shrugged, then walked away.

“Sorry again,” Sidney said to the trucks. He was just starting to back away, when he heard Toby laughing.

Sidney looked over, hoping the tram engine wasn’t laughing at him.

“I’m afraid poor Thomas has lost his puff!” Toby chortled. Stafford, who was standing next to him, just looked bewildered.

“Huh. Poor Thomas.” Sidney thought aloud. He suddenly remembered that he should be on his way to Crosby, and hurried away.

Diesel’s parents: okay kids! We’re going to be out for a few minutes, Diesel, because you are the oldest, you will be-

Little Diesel: *immediately ties a screaming kid Paxton and Sidney to a chair, duct tapes toddler Arry and Bert to the wall, and puts baby Splatter and Dodge in the trash can, and sits on it happy to be in charge.*

Diesel’s parents: …. Unloading the washing machine while your aunt looks after you all, because it would be very irresponsible on our part to leave a 10 year old home alone, and in charge of looking after their younger siblings.

Little Diesel: *angrily dumps baby splodge out of the trash can*
