Adventuring along the railway

@askhamhall1772 Ooooh what's this lil guy

Pug should die

[SUPER E.D @TurboThomasFan]

Unpopular Opinions on Pug & Jinty?

[Pix *COMMISSIONS OPEN* @Pix_ssbu]

Percy’s basis a lot more straightforward than people realize, and something similar happened to a real engine which got rebuilt multiple times

[Luke (not Ryan) @SortaScouse]

@jtc844 Some of the runs wouldn't be long enough to require the second tender or they'd have a arranged for a water truck along the way

[Luke (not Ryan) @SortaScouse]

double green tenders is way too overrated, rail blue water tender is so much better

[Conye Cannon - Extraordinary E2 @CannonConye]

Unpopular Opinions on LNER A3 Class "Flying Scotsman"?

[Luke (not Ryan) @SortaScouse]

What is the obsession with these engines? I've never really got it

Also why is the usual case to base them on LNER and its constituents

[TheLocoPosm @FlashSapp_375]

Unpopular opinion on RWS loaned engine takes?
(Again, no Alf*ed mentions. Instant block)

[Luke (not Ryan) @SortaScouse]

Not to have a spaghetti map (like the TVS maps)

[Luke (not Ryan) @SortaScouse]

People do need to look into the butterfly effect of changing the timeline and making things make sense for the era they happen (like not having preserved raiways pre-1951 for example)

Map wise, try have the railway actually follow the geography and gave a reason to exist. Try -

Unpopular opinion on "[name]verse" AUs?
(Timeline mods, map redesign, etc)

[Luke (not Ryan) @SortaScouse]

@jtc844 70s - early 80s, the water tender wasn't always used but just on runs that required it

@Sud_Firelighter because Barrow is still the exchange point between the Noth Western region and the London Midland region

[NWR Films (Alfie) @NwrFilms]

The TVS canon sucks major Dukey ass. Sorry not sorry

[Luke (not Ryan) @SortaScouse]

@Tapped549080 to keep his MSR heritage by having him in his MSR livery

[Luke (not Ryan) @SortaScouse]

@Sud_Firelighter tbf it hasn't been that long in BR green, only 15 years into total in pres. Its been apple green for 36 years in pres!!

[Luke (not Ryan) @SortaScouse]

Looks good in BR green, makes a nice change from constantly wearing LNER apple green

Unpopular Opinions on LNER A3 Class "Flying Scotsman"?

[Luke (not Ryan) @SortaScouse]

@TornadoFan2008 @JacqueThetrain its not, it would be too long for the headshunt at either end so the tender would have to be hand shunted separately to run the engine round. Plus there isn't much space on the footplate so the crew would have to stand in-between the loco and tender, making the cab pretty useless

@NKSchwarzwalder Well yes because those other stories hadn't happened yet. Its not the only story that inspired sleeping beauty however, Teddy Boston's discovery of Pixie inspired the shed and discovery bit of story. Tho with Pixie it was Teddy lifting the door of the hinges due to the shed key -

[Luke (not Ryan) @SortaScouse]

why would Duke need to be Brazilian?

because one aspect of his story was based on a Brazilian engine? thats a rather poor reason. Given the concept of Duke and being based on an England before he found out about the story

plus what use does an NG railway off the coast of -

[ᴍᴏʜɴ @NKSchwarzwalder]

Cuba has a rich history, culture, festivals and slangs only they have; just like everyone else.

Don't treat all this as replaceable just 'cause your favourite white guy “loved railway accuracy”, but couldn't bring himself to make Duke Brazilian like in the original event.

@NKSchwarzwalder That idea suddenly for this one story

[Luke (not Ryan) @SortaScouse]

@NKSchwarzwalder Not doubling down just explaining the obvious, just because theres an extra island in the UK doesn't suddenly mean that all logic has to go put the window. Wilbert and George both made a hard effort to make said island feel like a real place so i dont think they were gonna change
