The express coaches and their real-life basis; Southern Railway Maunsell coaches.

Traintober Day 7: Sleepy

[brendambois]

Edward always takes the old S&M express coaches on his shorter trips as these coaches love taking passengers.

"Come along please! Come along please!" Edward would sing.

"Trickitey-Trock it's just like old times! Trickitey-Trock it's just like old times!" The coaches would reply

[thefluffyrailway-official]

Do the express coaches have a fluffy form and if so can we see them

Yeah! They do have a fluffy form!

Actually, they're a mix of normal passenger coaches and tender engines :D. Ofc this was a breed made by humans. And it's a modern breed actually.

Irl they could be very similar to horses.

Humans also put them golden bracelets and accesories to make them look important lol.

(Also there's a lil' calf Hannah)

About two weeks ago I started making an express coach plush as a Christmas gift for my brother, I thought it'd go nicely with the James plush I've already made ^v^

Although I might not be posting any progress photos becaue I've got quite a few big projects on my plate at the moment and I have little to no motivation for posting

SPEED!! (Now featuring a little extra help)

[the-orient-express]

Finally it's done, one of my planned illustrations for one of my fan fictions which I've been working on for years. This drawing took me roughly a week and I had to work with a lot of textures to achieve a little bit of realism. The background photo is one I took in Ireland years ago. The drawing of the LMS Duchess of Sutherland in the mirror is also one I made back in 2015 if I remember correctly.

Ttte Halloween Headcanons: (1-12)

🎃How to Scare The Steam Team Without Traumatizing Them 🎃:

Thomas: Play extremely romantic or SPICY songs in his room, shed or any place where he normally hangs out in. He might joke about segg or romance and thinks it's funny but absolutely hates it when people start to become TOO comfortable with each other and start doing... Things that I can't name because I'm a minor. Baby by Justin Bieber would make him scream for Satan to take him out of his misery.

Edward: Second hardest person to scare in Halloween. One, he can surprisingly handle extremely dark topics. (I mean, he's a punk. What do you expect). Two, due to his insomnia giving him nightmares. Regular horror just seems like comedy to him. But, Edward does have one weakness: Sonrisas from Unicorn Wars. Has watched the film, loves it except for the parts where Sonrisas is in. In his words: Why the fuck does that orange bitch smiles in EVERY SCENE THAT HE'S IN??? A Sonrisas mask should do the trick.

Henry: Maybe dress up as Jason Voorhees and chase him around with an axe. Or cut some of his trees. (Although that last one would probably have you screaming your head off with an angry Henry ready to kick your ass)

Gordon: Get Bill and Ben roped in with your scheme and have them completely trash his room, shed or his express coaches! Gordon's face will be white as flour when he sees what you have done!

James: Fill his entire makeup collection with butter, nutella, egg yolk and anything else that is NOT makeup and put it back to her drawer. They will be screaming in less than 3 minutes when they're putting on their eyeshadow. Bonus points if you fuck up his clothes as well!

Percy: Number 1 hardest person to scare. Literally everybody has tried scaring him. But nothing seems to work on them! The only thing that would be closest to "scaring Percy" is Urbanspook. But even then, Percy looks more disgusted than frightened.

Toby: Literally any slasher movie, no matter how cheesy it is. Genuinely becomes horrified whenever a character dies even if they deserved it. His friends have no idea how easily spooked he can be. Not even Henry!

Duck: Just do anything that isn't the Great Western way. It's that easy.

Donald and Douglas: Throw a grim reaper costume onto a drone. Wait for the two to come and unleash the drone onto the two of them!!!! Chase them back to Scotland!!! To the moon!!!! To HEAVEN!!!!!!

Oliver: Send the mushiest Valentine's Day card to him. Go wild! Write it like you're simping for this man!!!!! (Unfortunately for Ollie, he is asexual)

Emily: Make the most disgusting Boba Tea with the most despicable ingredients that you can think of. Once you're done, just give it to her! Her reaction will be priceless.

Swap AU!

So I may have gotten inspired by @gold-dust599 to finally make my own swap au of ttte.

I shifted things up, like their engine bases, so they're not identical swaps of each other's engines, like Thomas being an A1 and vice versa. So let me ramble about these two. First- Gorin Gresley. A GNR N2 class, Gordie—as he's been taken to being called by the other engines—is a rather self-centered person. He often boasts that without his efforts, the larger engines would have to fetch their own trains, though the joke is often on him since most of the larger engines prefer to fetch their own trains anyway. This does make him come across as hypocritical as well however when he gets caught snoozing in between assembling trains, which the others tend to call him out on and even tease him for with none of them being as notorious as Thompson. Speaking of Thompson- Tom as he's called by the others, is an LB&SCR H2 class and as such, is the mainline's express engine, he has a great deal of pride in his work so much so that he'll typically shunt his own coaches. Tom is the most consistent in teaching Gordie a lesson for whenever his boasting becomes insufferable, often whistling to startle the tank engine awake from his naps and he even at one point pulled him behind the express to show him how much harder he and the others work. He even goes as far as to refer to him as Gigi when he's talking particularly loud which annoys the littler engine to no end. That being said, they are actually good friends. Keeping up an alliance with each other that often results in them piggybacking off of the other. Tom will sometimes carry Gordie to the yard if he's tired to wake up, and in return, Gordie will take to shunting Tom's train. If Tom goes to have a rest in the yard, Gordie will often hand him a canteen of fresh coffee. Small things. I'll get to coloring these guys in along with a detailed list of their personality traits later, for now I wanna stew with these two and think up of things they'd do.

One thing to note about Wooden Railway's models of BoCo and the Knapford express coach is that they shared the same base model.

How I'd adapt TTTE BWBA s22 ep 2; "Forever and Ever"

Original summary; Gordon has a tantrum about all the changes being made to the railway and is sent back to his shed in disgrace, Gordon insists that he is happy to stay there forever but his new friend Nia from Kenya helps him to see the changes in a different light.

My adapted summary; Ever since Edward left the sheds, Gordon had been quite bitter about the changes. Now that Nia has moved in and Henry suddenly announcing that he's moving into Vicarstown, Gordon becomes enraged. In retaliation, he takes his frustration out on Nia and causes an accident.

Plot

A year had gone by since Edward's departure from Tidmouth Sheds, and despite how long it's been, Gordon still can't stop being bitter about it. Since Nia's arrival, Gordon had been disrespectful and belittles her often, bumping her out of the way and calling her a "weak little tank engine". He just directs his grumpiness on to her. One day, he hears a conversation between Henry and Sir Topham Hatt and is horrified to learn that Henry wants to move out.

(Not my art btw, it's on DeviantArt)

He confronts Henry the next day, and Henry tells him "Going to Vicarstown is my choice, Gordon. I don't need your say in it!". Gordon then goes to Sir Topham Hatt about the changes, ranting to him about the changes, but STH just says;

"Edward left Tidmouth to mentor Phillip and Rosie by his own choice, Gordon. Henry is moving away by his own choice as well, nothing can stay the same forever, you know. Just deal with it, and move on"

Sir Topham Hatt doesn't realise how much the changes are actually stressing Gordon out and agitating him.

When Gordon is getting his coaches shunted, he finds that Nia is shunting instead of Percy or Thomas. He's already angered by the sudden announcement of Henry moving out, and Nia, the one who (in Gordon's eyes) replaced Edward, decides to try and calm him down.

Gordon yells back at her, and Nia just retorts by saying;

"Ugh...I wonder how Edward and Henry put up with you, you're such hard work!"

Nia never means this in a rude way, she's just annoyed by Gordon. This remark upsets Gordon even further, so he decides to pull a trick on Nia... the same trick he pulled on Thomas decades ago.

He goes along with it and heads off with the Express early, and doesn't give Nia time to uncouple from the coach.

As Gordon speeds down the line with Nia in tow, he doesn't listen to her begging him to stop and just laughs it off.

(Imagine he's laughing maniacally)

My version of Nia was built without a proper safety valve, so she is a boiler explosion waiting to happen. Her boiler is heating up fast, luckily, her driver manages to reach her coupling rod and uncouples her. But as she's uncoupled, Gordon had reached a junction at that point and Nia ends up going off the rails and hitting a tree at full force, denting her buffers.

Later on that evening, everyone and STH find out what happened and confront Gordon about his errant behaviour.

Gordon is quick to defend himself, claiming Nia "replaced Edward and forced Henry out". This is when he tries venting his hatred of the changes. STH and everyone else just assume he's making up excuses and is overdramatic; he's not.

STH; "Excuses, excuses! I am sick and tired of your whining, Gordon! Nia is staying in this shed and that's final! We must not be so rude!"

Thomas; "You're definitely a big fat Galloping Sausage now, Gordon! You just can't go a day without complaining! Bother, even pulling the same trick on her like you did on me? That's pathetic!"

James; "Just disgusting, Gordon! I don't remember you being so horrible towards tank engines like you were today!"

Emily; "Shame on you..."

After this argument, STH tells Gordon that he's banned from pulling the Express until he gets his behaviour sorted out and is being locked in his berth. Gordon desperately begs him not to, but STH doesn't listen. He is shut up in the sheds, where he has a nightmare about Edward and Henry getting scrapped and wakes up in the middle of the night, unconsciously tearing up and reflecting on how everyone treated him and his dream.

The episode ends with Gordon whispering;

"....N-Nobody cares how I feel...my own controller doesn't c-care how I feel... why does nobody care about me?"

The episode ends.

Yeah, if I were to do Forever and Ever, it would be pretty dark and angsty. It's all hurt for Gordon and no comfort. Plus, it would show a bit of Gordon that's vulnerable and no longer all pompous and arrogant, instead all self-conscious and soft.

| "You have to say it back." | LATE Fathers Day | TTTE AU : Sodor's Dragons |

(I HAVE NO IDEA WHY IM GETTING SO MANY FATHERS DAY IDEAS BUT I SAW A CLIP ON YT ABT THOMAS AND GORDON MOMENTS AND A CLIP FROM ITSV SO- ENJOY)

<Thomas : Blue>

<Gordon : Purple>

If it wasn't for the big event today, it wouldn't have been another average long working day. No, it was Fathers Day. It was a common thing for humans to celebrate. On the other hand, not many engines could experience it. But there were a few who could.

Two of those engines are Henry and Gordon.

Gordon, the big pompus asshole that you can't help but adore, and his husband, Henry, who often forgets holidays that isn't Halloween or Christmas.

On this day, Henry was asleep, as per usual. He was often the last one to wake up, but the others didn't mind it. Gordon however ussualy woke up before Thomas and Percy. Those two were the last two to leave the sheds before Henry.

So when Gordon woke up, he smirked and naturally blew his whislte as loudly as he could (without fearing that he'd wake Henry up by accident since he's a heavy sleeper) . Percy and Thomas were startled and woke up, Percy nearly bashing his funnel over the top of the shed door with how high he managed to jump.

" Wake up, you two! You know what day it is? "

Thomas groaned while Percy was trying to get over his disorientation.

" Fathers Day, right? " Thomas growled out as he glared at Gordon.

Gordon, with the biggest smile on his face, " yup "

" oh wow wee how excited I am! "

Gordon rolled his eyes, deflecting Thomas' sarcasm.

---

Gordon was waiting at the station with the express. He had an idea. What that idea was, I couldn't tell you it since that would spoil the story.

When Thomas pulled up in platform 2 with his branchline train for the morning, he had completely forgotten about being so grumpy about the day focused around his dad.

" Hey old man, "

" Is that what you and Percy are calling me now? "

" maybe "

" As long as you two don't call Henry that, then I'm alright with it, " Gordon smiled as he spoke.

" I won't! Anyway, I can't thank you enough, "

" For what? "

" For taking me in when you found me, "

" well you were a little tiny thing stranded in some docks which turned into a graveyard afterall, "

" I know, but you saved my life, I can't thank you enough "

Gordon felt a tear trying to escape his eyes. He refused to give in, but he did appricate his sons words.

" Anytime, Kiddo, promise me you'll be safe when you take your train okay? "

" I will, "

" Love ya kiddo, "

Thomas just smiled and managed to get a minutesworth away from the station before he heard Gordons whislte. Then Thomas' grumpy mood suddenly returned to him again.

The perks of being a train, he managed to unhinge the wheel joints in his wheels so he was out of drive mode. He then turned around and glared at his father, making sure to uncouple from his coaches first.

" w h a t - "

" You have to say it back "

Thomas looked around, there were engines in the yard stopping what they were doing to watch what was happening, alongside everyone waiting for their trains at the station observing the two.

" But Dad- "

" You have to, " Gordons face said it all. He knew what he was doing.

" Dad litteraly everyones here, the passengers, James, Percy, Edward, everyone "

" I love you Dad "

" Dad please- "

" I love you Dad "

" Dad- "

" I. Love. You. Dad. "

" FINE- FINE FINE OKAY- "

Gordon stopped repeating what he wanted Thomas to say, and just looked at him with a smug look on his face.

" Dad. I love you. " Thomas' face said it all, too. He was embarrassed as all hell. Clearly wishing that didn't happen.

" Thank you, " Gordon said as he let off some steam and puffed away with his express, very proud of himself indeed.

Thomas just gritted his teeth as he watched Gordon leave, getting himself back on the tracks again before coupiling up to his coaches. Trying to block out the giggiling coming from the coaches, the station and from the kther engines whk saw the ordeal.

" Happy Father's Day, old man. " Thomas scoffed to himself before puffing away to run his branchline passenger service.

Just thought of a new TTTE OC.

Trudy the USRA 0-6-0 switcher. Always tired, speaks in a New York accent, and makes the engines wait for their trucks. Basically if she was human, she would be the worn out secretary in the back dusty room surrounded by paper work and outdated 90’s office technology with the cat eye glasses and a Betty boop calendar type character.

[Gordon: where are my coaches?

Trudy: You’ll have to wait in line like everybody else.

Gordon: what? But I’m supposed to pull the express! It won’t take too much time to fetch my coaches

Trudy: Henry was here first with his goods train so I have to take care of him first.

Gordon: but I’m going to be late for the express! Can’t you hurry up a bit?

Trudy: I don’t care if you’re pulling the orient, you’ll have to get in line like everybody else. Now where’s Henry? Henry?…. Henry? … is there a Henry anywhere?

Gordon: he’s not here! Now will you-

Trudy: hang on, I’m looking for Henry, Henry? … Henry? You’re train is ready…. Huh, I guess there is no Henry here.

Gordon: good, now can you please-

Trudy: you need to wait in line or leave, I don’t have time for this.

Gordon:*is mentally cussing Trudy out*
