Hi, I'm Conye! I enjoy making Thomas & Friends content based on Models, News, Projects, Books, and etc. I'm also a Sodor and Railway Historian.

@GredaOlek2011 Sure, go ahead.

I'm stuck with three problems I've encountered... Writer's Block, other preferences, and Life getting in the way. I've been stuck with these for a few months now, but I tried shoving them down to no avail.
I won't be very active on Twitter as of the moment, but I'll update.

Unpopular Opinions on LNER A3 Class "Flying Scotsman"?

[Conye Cannon - Extraordinary E2 @CannonConye]

@Rudy_Production The A1/A3's received mods based on GWR practices during their rebuilds and conjugated valve gear amendments, and Stanier and Topham worked at the GWR in their prime. They both could've solved some of; if not, all the problems with the Gresley Gear.

I don't like Gordon's canon rebuild due to one simple thing... he's now a "2-Cylinder" locomotive.
The rebuild makes him less suitable for express work, he's less stronger, and he still retains A1 parts that ceased production after the first A3's were introduced in 1927.

Unpopular opinions on Gordon?

[Conye Cannon - Extraordinary E2 @CannonConye]

@Rudy_Production Charles Hatt was overseas by the time Gordon went to be rebuilt and came back in 1939 for WW2, the same year the rebuild was complete. He could've given insight to mend the issues with the valve gear.

[Conye Cannon - Extraordinary E2 @CannonConye]

@Rudy_Production The S&DJR was just about as independent as the NWR despite being a joint system partially owned by the LMS. They ran their service all the way from Bournemouth to Manchester, Sheffield, Liverpool, and even Birmingham.

[Conye Cannon - Extraordinary E2 @CannonConye]

@Rudy_Production The LMS could've just let the NWR traverse the network with their own express trains across England, Wales, and Scotland.
The LMS struggled with proper motive power due to the ex-MR "Small Engine Policy" until Stanier arrived in 1932 and introduced larger locomotives.

[Conye Cannon - Extraordinary E2 @CannonConye]

@RhysBDavies If we're to take in consideration from Stanier's Wheels, Gordon's wheels would likely be either 6' 6" or 6' 9"; the main wheel sizes for Stanier's express locomotives. His cylinder diameter would likely be 19.625" x 28" from Stanier's largest cylinder dimensions.

@CaspianJupiter Is that a bad thing?

[Conye Cannon - Extraordinary E2 @CannonConye]

Here's what I was cooking up!
My Headcanon for the Piel & Walney Gravel Co. Railway and how the world of Sodor connects with it.
Get ready for a load of AU Lore.

Apparently, the @northernbelletr has made some trips to Barrow-In-Furness from time to time.
I wonder if the engines of the North Western Railway have ever seen it pass by. Maybe, they ever got a chance or two to haul the train themselves. Who's to say?

@ToadyHere Nice to know that Henry finally grew a pair. 😎

[Conye Cannon - Extraordinary E2 @CannonConye]

@CTFEologist I'd believe it.
