Madge's lamps make it look like she's wearing a frog hat to me (She knitted it herself)

[1983]

Thorkell made his way out of the Works, and back to the main station. James was waiting just beyond one of the platforms.

“…So?” James grinned. “What’cha think?”

Thorkell furrowed his brow. “Shouldn’t you be in a siding, not blocking an entry line?”

“Nah. Have you ever seen a train pull in on either of these tracks?”

Thorkell couldn’t say he had. He then wondered why that was.

James rebounded the conversation before he could ask further.

“I see you went with blue.”

“It’s fitting.” Thorkell argued. “I was blue on the Other Railway, so it stands to reason that I would be here as well.”

“But,” he added, in a more perplexed tone, “I will say, I was a bit surprised when they added the red lining. Not that I hate it,” he added, quickly, “just… not what I was expecting.”

“All our diesels are lined.” James replied, simply. “You haven’t noticed?”

“Huh. Guess I never really picked up on it. Your railway’s full of oddities like that.”

“Hah. You don’t know the half.”

[baldwin-10-12-d]

I’ve never seen anyone else ship Rusty and Rheneas though personally I have them as a quad pairing with Duncan and Madge because my headcannon of Duncan makes him a needy bastard if you get what I mean and the others slowly fall in love with each other as well as a result of our favourite Scottish hoe

Yea Duncan is definitely a clingy prick and I do actually see the 4 in a relationship. I get what you mean anon :3

Duncan won't admit it but he enjoys the others babying him.

[dragons-and-magic]

for the ship asks here’s some of my ships from my au:

Nia x kana

Msr/rws narrow gauge Stanley x Kyle/proteus

duke x kwaku

Henry x bear x hiro

Duncan x madge

Oof. I haven't heard of most of these.😂 Okay, let's see.

Nia x Kana: 💚 It seems alright. I haven't watched too much AEG unfortunately. So that's all I can say.

Msr/rws narrow gauge Stanley x Kyle/proteus: 💙 I actually haven't heard of Stanley, so I'm not really sure about this one.

Duke x Kwaku: 💜 I can't personally see them as an item, but I think they would get along nicely as friends.

Henry x bear x hiro: 💜 I see Hiro and Henry as friends personally. Bear x Henry is kinda cute though.

Duncan x Madge: 💚 It seems like a cute ship. Not my cup of tea. But certainly a very good ship.

And, that's it! I really hope I didn't make you feel bad about any of your ships. I was really worried about that happening when I reblogged this ask game.😭 I have very few ships I get super enthusiastic about, so sometimes it hard for me to participate in the shipping side of their fandom. (I'm more of a Platonic and Family relationship kinda girly) Lol. But I appreciate you sharing your ships with me!😁

Ugh, okay. Words aren't wording. This probably all sounded stupid. Thanks for sending this in! It was fun!

[ask-sentient-vehicles]

Madge, what’s your favourite thing about wearing a head covering? I wear a headscarf most of the day and I love it! Whenever I put it on I feel so joyous, as if I’m being praised for my modesty Mary herself. Sorry if that was a bit rambly…

Madge: I know how you feel. I like to wear my head covering too! It makes me think of God protecting me from the darkness of the world.

[number1spongebobfan]

I can think of a certain yellow engine who'll go lovestruck for her . . .

This is how she looks like without the veil on.

[paisley177]

Duncan and Madge

[naurasweetarudesu]

I personally don't like shipping in TTTE fandom. I don't mind when others do it, but when myself do it, it feels icky. I had this weird thought in my brain that resist me to do that. Maybe because shipping is usually associated with toxicness of a fandom, and I don't want my childhood show to feels 'toxic' for me thus resulting on me to not want to do it.

But of course, i enjoys some ship. One of the ship that i enjoys is Duncan x Madge. Not really big ship, i know.

I heard people said that Madge is kinda more fitting to be his mom rather than partner, but i actually kinda like the dynamic between "Motherly young girl x Hotheaded prick with heart" like them. This made me wonder why do I enjoy it until…

"GODDAMMIT, DUNCAN X MADGE IS JUST KYO X TOHRU FROM FRUITS BASKET ALL OVER AGAIN!"

[agirlwholovesspe33d]

So, this post is sort of inspired by @asktrio516 and her post about official ships.

I’m here with some of mine. And just like her, I’m going to put some headcanons about each couple.

(this post is way too long to make a Spanish version in within itself, I’ll do a similar post but in Spanish at a later date)

Thomas x James 💙💖

Quoting what TheUnluckyTug said in his James video. "When Thomas is in-character he's also hot-head, impatient and not very bright. You're basically watching two hot-headed jackasses try to one-up each other".

The perfect date for them would be race to a normally crowded location (The Wharf, Brendam Docks, Knapford, Kirk Ronan, etc) since there would be a large crowd to wave and cheer to the winner. Although they sometimes do race just for fun, similar to Thomas’ races with Bertie.

(Little aside headcanon: Two months before Sodor Day a little singing competition is held. The two finalists have a race to a certain location)

Thomas is capable of redeeming James (he did redeem Diesel and Diesel 10 of all characters) but he just loves seeing James being so self-centered and acting like an idiot that he just lets the fire spread. But if he thinks he goes too far, he does lower James' ego a bit. Even though James doesn't always listens.

Thomas lives in a house at Ffarquhar, whereas James lives in the Tidmouth Workers' Hut. If they ever get married they would probably go live at either Lower Tidmouth or Elsbridge. So they can have access to both the Ffarquhar Branch Line and the Main Line.

Thomas was afraid of telling Jane about their relationship, but one time. Jane entered Thomas' room, and she did so holding her girlfriend's hand (more about that in another post) and she said half the phrase when she saw James and Thomas in the latter's bed. You could say it was a simultaneous realisation.

If James doesn’t complain about pulling a goods train it's either because he knows its important, or because Thomas is there with him the whole way chatting about their life.

Henry x Hiro 💚🖤

Sometimes they cook together and even harvest

Hiro teaches Japanese to Henry

Henry sometimes combs Hiro’s hair

If they both had the time, and/or the money; Hiro would take Henry to explore Japan, but for now. Sodor’s forests like Henry’s, the Whistling Woods, and the Whispering Woods will suffice.

(note: Toby and the Whispering Woods is not canon)

They usually go and chat at a siding in Henry's Forest about their daily life and how things have been on each railway. (Hiro does spend a lot of time on the Mainland after all)

Hiro is conscious about Henry's tragic life before Sodor and on his first days on the railway and is willing to give him therapy. Henry is willing to tell Hiro about his struggles or nightmares.

Emily x Caitlin 💚💖

Emily admired her. But ever since she saved her from falling down Ulfstead Hill, Caitlin admires her.

Caitlin sometimes takes her on tours around Ulfstead Castle with their engines. Other times Emily goes voluntarily just to spend time with her.

Emily has experiences with castles, and loves to share them with Caitlin, like when she played to be ‘Queen Emily’ at Rolf’s Castle, or when she discovered a family of seals near Callan (the Scottish) Castle.

Caitlin actually calls her “Queen Emily” sometimes. Something fitting for Caitlin considering the Earl refers to her as one of his Knights in Shining Armor, along with Connor.

Millie wants to be the flower girl at her wedding. More than anything because she's the closest to Caitlin.

James would probably be Emily's best man.

Caitlin took advantage of a ball that Sir Robert organized at Ulfstead castle to invite Emily to a date on which she proposed to her. Emily jokingly dropped her high heel as she left at midnight. (Which also fits since she's Number 12.)

Douglas x Oliver 🖤💚

Both take advantage of their living on the West Coast to visit the beach on their days off/free time. Often going through quiet walks through the beach.

In fact, in one of those walks, they ended up lying down and kissing in the middle of the wave, and (similar to the scene with the mermaid in Shrek 2) Oliver ended up kissing Donald.

Oliver thought he could start feeling something after Douglas saved his job, but when he broke his knee accidentally, and Douglas carried him in his arms he was like "Yep. I'm in love with him now".

Oliver didn't tell anything about it to Duck, as he thought he would either be against it or his advice wouldn't be much use to him. So he went to Toad for advice. And Toad ended up encouraging Oliver to confess his feelings for Douglas.

If Oliver wants to give Douglas something he will usually ask Donald "What would Douglas like on his birthday" and Donald would gladly help him and not tell anything to his twin.

When she started working on the West coast, Daisy thought they were a poli-romantic couple until Donald said they weren't.

The Arlesdale Trio would definitely be their groomsmen at their wedding. (It’s funny to think of Frank as the flower girl XD)

I would totally do a Percy's Seaside Trip cover with them in mind, but I'm not too sure on what the lyrics would be.

Molly x Neville 💛🖤

Neville knows Molly doesn't like swearing. So he tries not to do it if she's around. When someone else does swear in front of her. Neville will personally put them in their place.

Molly helped Dennis on several occasions. And was afraid of telling him about her relationship with Neville, but Dennis understood, and thought Molly wouldn’t like him in a romantic way anyway.

Thomas helped Neville get out of his shell, and that helped him to confess his feelings for Molly. Since he was as shy as her when he first arrived on the railway. (being mistreated by Emily and Thomas didn’t help)

(sidenote: in the episode ‘Thomas and the New Engine’, Neville departs from Cronk towards the bridge that connects with the Peel Godred Branch instead of Abbey, since the latter resembles more a Main Line station)

They both like to eat in each other engine’s cab. They also like reading there.

Just like Dennis is close friends with Molly, Murdoch is close friends with Neville. So they both would probably be each other’s best man at their Wedding.

Just like their themes in each other’s episodes. They enjoy listening to quiet, calm, relaxing music together as they work or dance. (I know Neville doesn’t have a theme, but you could say the theme at the start of Thomas and the New Engine is what he listens to. Or Percy’s S8-12 Theme)

Mavis x Rosie 🖤💖

Rosie had a brief crush on Emily before during a period of time where Thomas and Percy were busy in other parts of the island. Rosie and Stanley took over their jobs on the Ffarquhar Branch. Rosie handled the goods and deliveries to the Quarry. Despite Thomas and Percy returning, Rosie and Stanley stayed a while to help with odd jobs like shunting.

Rosie saw how hard Mavis worked, and being the type of girl that admires people with the ability to handle multiple jobs, (just like she idolized Thomas), she began to admire the diesel driver. This led to Rosie becoming stronger and more determined, just like Mavis.

Mavis noticed this and thought it would be nice if someone was just as strong as she was. So she played along.

In addition, she herself admired Rosie's desire to learn and work. Something that wasn’t present in a certain pair of twin yellow engine drivers.

Mavis eventually began to develop feelings for Rose, she thought that Rosie might simply admire her as a sister figure, so she said nothing. Although one day she kissed her on the cheek and saw her blush at her. She tried to keep sending hints. (Things like "Do you like girls", "What do you like in a girl?") And Rosie soon began to understand them.

Finally, when one is in love, and the other understands the hints. Both agreed to be girlfriends. And they have a relationship quite based on romanticism.

Mavis calls her Pinkie, Rose (I know there are people who write it with a Y). Or ‘my cute little flower’ because she has a flower’s name. Rosie calls her Mavey. (miss Dilemma please don't sue me, I thought it was a cute nickname and it was the first thing that came to mind)

Mavis likes to give flowers (especially Roses) to her.

Rosie currently works at Ulfstead Branch Line (along with 'Arry and Bert from time to time. And being pretty smart, she's one of the few Steamies they respect), so she can go to Ffarquhar Quarry often. So she sees Mavis often.

‘Arry and Bert don’t approve of girls dating other girls, but they do fear what Mavis and/or Rosie could do to them if they say any lesbofobic comment, so they stay quiet.

(the Ulfstead Branch Line is an access for Main Line Engines to come to Ffarquhar Quarry and collect heavy stone trains and take them down the same branch line.)

Elizabeth x Madge 💖💚

Both mother figures on the Skarloey Railway (SR). Although they act more like good cop/bad cop.

Madge always wants Elizabeth to keep her lorry in good condition, (she does work at the Quarries) Elizabeth also wants this so usually resorts to Madge on how to make it look shiny and clean.

Elizabeth loves to work with Madge delivering goods to the villages on the SR.

They like to keep their lorries close to each other and sometimes sleep with the other in one of the lorries

Elizabeth won't comply unless either Rusty uses their charm to convince her or Madge is there to bat her eyelashes.

Elizabeth tells Madge to be more stern, something she didn't want to do, but learned it was important ever since the crazy day she had with Duncan in the winter.

-They both like to have a calm, quiet walk through the many forests on the SR.

Since both of them had experiences with Duncan and Rusty, when they heard they started dating they were specially happy and started to make jokes about the Wedding (Duncan and Rusty would probably invite Madge and Elizabeth anyway)

Rusty x Duncan 🧡💛

Duncan wasn't conscious about Rusty being Non-Binary when he first met them. After saying sorry, Rusty explained it to Duncan and he has been respectful with this ever since.

Rusty is the only one that can put Duncan in his place. Hence why Duncan was actually put down by them when they told him not to go to the Mines (Duncan and the Old Mine)

Rusty does try to calm Duncan's grumpiness, but they know changing Duncan isn't that easy of a task. However, Duncan is willing to change if that means making Rusty feel better.

Duncan tries to learn about diesel engines to help Rusty with their locomotive and vice versa.

Peter Sam was unsure about Rusty dating Duncan, considering how rude Duncan was to them. But after the night at the Old Iron Bridge, he saw that Duncan was just stubborn, not an asshole and just went with it. Plus, after the accident at the Slate Mines and the Elephant Statue. Duncan started to give himself up to his couple.

When they both sleep together, Duncan usually steals the blanket.

Daisy x Ryan 💚💜

After Percy’s Predicament, Daisy went back to the Mainland as a completely new woman, although some of the Other Railway Diesel drivers’ attitudes rubbed off on her, she came back during the construction of the Sodor Airport and went back to the Mainland. She only came back permanently when the line to Harwick completed construction and they needed a locomotive to deal with the passengers.

At first, Daisy did have feelings for Ryan but since she hadn’t been on the island for a long time, she thought everyone still held a prejudice against diesels. But she soon learned Diesel, ‘Arry and Bert were literally the only Diesels with that superiority complex. Although she still waited patiently to confess his feelings for the young driver.

Judy and Jerome, as you may guess, would participate in their wedding, if Daisy planned one.

Diesel did disapprove of a Steamie dating a Diesel Engine driver (the fact he also had a crush on Daisy didn’t help) but when he slowly changed his ways after the spring accident, he also slowly accepted Daisy’s relationship, with the latter assuring him that maybe he will find that someone special.

Just like Douglas and Oliver, they like visiting the beaches on the Little Western branch line. And Daisy loves showing Ryan affect in public.

Ryan is another driver of a steam engine that ‘Arry and Bert respect, mainly because Diesel does, and he’s sort of ‘Arry and Bert’s leader. And because Daisy is capable of giving the Ironworks’ Twins a piece of her mind.

If they don’t spend Christmas or New Year at Harwick, most probable thing is that they spend it in the Dieselworks, but still bringing Judy and Jerome’s cranes with them.

Judy and Jerome love to lower their cranes’ hooks with a mistletoe just for them (and for other couples when they were in Knapford Yards)

Hello! This is for the ask game.

Duncan? Mayhaps? He's my favorite of the narrow gauge.

Tbh the first time I’ve read about him, I didn’t like him but now whenever I see Duncan I want to slap him, but at the same time, give him tea and a hug. Now I know where his “plain-so speaking attitude” I mean it’s very blatanty implied in his introduction that he swears and like from like I’ve seen a few headcanons going around the Duncan like adopts this attitude from his workplace and wasn’t exactly the healthiest place so adds to folder 📁 📂.

Like yeah he’s got flaws *looks at Rusty’s episode* but knows when he’s wrong as he apologizes to Rusty which is actually the few times as much as I’ve seen a steam engine apologize to a diesel engine, and afterwards they became friends, like he acknowledges his mistake and tries to fix it.

He can be seen as a jerk (but then again so can others), but the hidden heart of Gold, like when he helped Luke which displays a soft side (Duncan gets Spooked where in the US Dub, he mentions that the bridge be “as tame as a pet rabbit 🐇” like how would he know how skittish and builds up trust of bunnies Hm 👀👀 I’ve seen this hc floating around that’s he’s got a pet rabbit 🐇 and I love that)

Also the entire Cool Truckings episode with Duncan and Madge, he encourages in his own way and I love how fluid their chemistry was. I will admit I’m currently obessing with the other yellow narrow guage engines and an idea on how they’re interact (short answers: Kyle “Proteus”, but poor Duncan hates ghosts now so.. and Andreas where he gots a huge rivalry going on between them with clashing personalities,povs and workplaces) so Duncan’s still in the middle despite me putting him in a wringer in my au but I can see why so many people like him!!

Also he’s a George Carlin fan and be stimming (Duncan drops a clanged where he loves that one bumpy track and ends up being late he’s like me fr there) I still need to re-examine him cause it’s been awhile but he still gets the work and job done so yay 😁

[fabianvalencia561]

Do you have any shippings in TTTE?👀

Yes I do! Though it's not a lot..

Edward x James (before Edward got controlled by that corrupted parasite)

Hiro x Henry

Rebecca x Gordon (Gordon has not told Rebecca how he feels about her)

Ryan x Daisy

Diesel x Mavis

D10 x Lady (though Lady is dead but D10 can't move on and is trying everything to at least find her soul.)

Duncan x Madge

There are more ships I made but I don't want to add too many and also I forgot the rest but I'll remember them later ..

[ask-sentient-vehicles]

Could I see Duncan and Madge sitting together just enjoying each other’s company?

>sees this rq

>fangirls

He's playing his guitar for her.

I had this song in my head while I was drawing.

[number1spongebobfan]

Non Rail Vehicle Headcanons Part 2

Bulstrode

He's a boat-man. He spends time underwater often, so he wears scuba-diving gear.

He's brutish and unhappy.

He got his comeuppance being used as a playground for children. One time SpongeBob and Patrick came to play on him and he was utterly humiliated xD

Duck doesn't like him at all. He finds him to be unwestern, villainous, and unruly.

He's a humpback whale with mechanical boat parts in his animal form.

He met the Star Fleet from Tugs before and is familiar with them.

Trevor!

He works on the farm. He is allowed to try his farmer's produce and other goods. A good taste tester!

He loves children. He cannot stand child abuse. He's a heavy machine and if anyone lays their hands on a kid, they'll have to go through him!

Bill and Ben make fun of his hair because it looks like a pumpkin.

He is a frog with traction wheels on his legs in his animal form.

He is sweet, tough, and amiable.

He likes to eat pumpkins and is always excited to pick them up for Halloween.

Bulgy

So you know how Mickey Mouse is rivals with Peg Leg Pete? Bulgy is Pete and Bertie is Mickey Mouse.

He is really annoying.

He is rabidly anti-rail and protested for the railroads to shut down. He's an analogy for people on the far ends of the political spectrum.

Shire horse (like Gordon) with double decker bus wheels on his legs in his animal form.

He turned into a chicken coop. The chickens pecked and layed eggs on him :)

He eats too much hamburgers.

Terence

He wears a cowboy hat. He also knows how to lasso!

He keeps his teeth pearly white using a special brand of toothpaste.

He calls his rollerskates, "caterpillars". He loves caterpillars because they are very cute and they turn into butterflies.

He knows how to square dance.

He's a pony with tractor wheels on his legs in his animal form.

His favorite song is, "Old MacDonald had a farm".

He has a straightforward and logical personality.

Elizabeth

She's stuffy and self-righteous.

This is due to her being locked in a shed for a long time. She lacked her social skills.

However, she is sweet and adorable once you get to know her!

She likes to play with balloons and knows how to make them.

She's a golden retriever with lorry wheels on her legs in her animal form.

She likes to blow bubbles.

She uses a strong, cherry scent of perfume.

Madge

She is modest. She wears a Catholic veil on her head to preserve her modesty.

She is Luke's mother figure. She comforts him when he is sad and plays with him.

She visits the Skarloey Railway.

She's a fox with lorry wheels on her legs in her animal form.

She has chronic pain. Duncan is her masseur. He pounds on her back like a madman but for some reason it helps. XD

She has a beautiful singing voice. Birds and butterflies come and settle around her because of how good her voice is.

She likes to have picnics.
