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!

The big 'Day of the Diesels' rewrite is finally here! The endgame has come!

[duskstargazer]

[2015]

During the winter months, work at the quarries would grind to a standstill. Between the ground freezing solid and becoming considerably more difficult to excavate and the frost further hindering their progress, some such industries temporarily ceased operation.

The Suddery Clay Co. was no exception. Bill and Ben were glad that they didn't spend the winter cooped up in their shed, but being contracted out to other companies meant they were often split up.

Ben had been sent up to the yard near the big station to help keep things moving. But Bill and Ben are small tank engines. The trucks, vans, and coaches seemed to tower over the low-slung saddle tank. Without Bill, the yard began to feel very claustrophobic.

“Helloo!!” A booming voice echoed across the yard. “Flatbeds full of crates, where are you?”

Ben shrank back behind a van. Without his twin - the engine he'd worked alongside for just about his entire life - he didn't have half the confidence he normally would have.

“Hey there - wouldn't happen to have seen any flatbeds with crates on 'em, would'ja?”

Ben stared. Standing before him was easily the strangest looking engine he'd ever seen. And he'd met someone with an engine at each end.

“C'mon, you, lighten up!” The backwards-looking (according to Ben) cyan engine grinned. “It's Christmastime! The festive time of the year that friends and family come together, an-”

“The time of year where I'm split up from mine.” Ben said, quietly.

The bigger engine blinked. “What do you mean?”

“Bill - my twin brother - and I always work together. We have our whole lives. But…” Ben sighed. “Apparently there isn't enough work for all of us at the clay pits this time of year, so we get sent to work elsewhere… and usually apart. And this year is no different.”

“Bill is still here on the island, isn't he?”

“Well- yeah, but-”

“And he's still your brother?”

“…”

“Then hold onto that feeling. Remember how much he means to you. And you'll get to see him again when the clay pits reopen, so you have that to look forward to.”

“I guess…”

“Merlin taught me that.” The big cyan engine said proudly.

Ben had absolutely no idea who Merlin was, but he smiled anyway.

“For the time being, you shouldn't have to spend Christmastime alone. I'm Lexi. The engines at Knapford Sheds probably won't have an issue with letting one more engine in, and out of the cold.”

The small saddle tank engine smiled. “I'd… like that. I'm Ben.”

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.

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.

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*
