#Henry for sure has a subscription to magazines on wildlife and birdspotting

Context: TTTE, that weird universe where vehicles are sapient and we try not to linger too much on the ramifications involved the following is just me rambling on about how media ties into the universe. do you think locomotives and other vehicles enjoy human media? maybe drive in movies would be more commonplace a way to let cars enjoy films alongside their owners. how would public transport even consume media? do you think they have a radio set up in their shed/depot so they can listen to a bit of music and news in the evenings. I wonder if there are companies that specialise in making extra large print newspapers or magazines and accompanying stands to let locomotives read, if so would niche topic magazines like railway magazines be their form of news? maybe Henry has a subscription to Woodlands and Forests Monthly. Has an engine ever been taken to an actual concert or play, like in the back row you just have a whole-ass locomotive plinthed to enjoy the show. If they went to a festival would they just be left in the main arena for the entire weekend, do you think they would be in steam or just have their whistle hooked up to an air compressor so they can interact with the crouds? has their ever been an engine that's been part of a band, like a singer?
