Presenting the Baldwin 10-12-D!

[toast-com]

I don't think I talk enough about the Baldwin 10-12-Ds. The chonky lads. I love them. They're my favorite locomotive class.

I CAN'T

I don't want to be on Tumblr anymore. I don't want to delete my accounts, but I just feel like... this place isn't for me anymore.

My first Tumblr account was @boco-and-daisy, which I deleted a long time ago. I have had so many Tumblr blogs I've lost count, because I tried to step away but kept coming back because this site is too addicting.

That's my problem. I feel like I have to be on this site almost all the time. That isn't healthy for me. I just...

I need to step away. My first thoughts were "I'm going to try and expunge Tumblr from my memory. And maybe, one day, I'll come back. I'll completely redesign myself. I'll try not to be a blog that just likes and reblogs stuff. I want to be original!"

But in my quest to be original, I started overcomparing myself to other artists. I don't want to forget Tumblr, but I just... god, I don't know, I just want to get away! I want to stop feeling the need to be validated by people I'll never meet! @baldwin-10-12-d, @just-an-emily-existing, @asktrio516, @septemberofgenders, @engineer-gunzelpunk and @unpopularvivian, I love you all, but I need to say goodbye.

Idk if you've done this before

Nope. But that is a poggers quote. Thanks for the suggestion!

Discharge Petition for H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Record Group 233: Records of the U.S. House of RepresentativesSeries: General Records

This item, H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, faced strong opposition in the House Rules Committee. Howard Smith, Chairman of the committee, refused to schedule hearings for the bill. Emanuel Celler, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, attempted to use this discharge petition to move the bill out of committee without holding hearings. The petition failed to gain the required majority of Congress (218 signatures), but forced Chairman Smith to schedule hearings.

88th CONGRESS. House of Representatives No. 5 Motion to Discharge a Committee from the Consideration of a RESOLUTION (State whether bill, joint resolution, or resolution) December 9, 1963 To the Clerk of the House of Representatives: Pursuant to Clause 4 of Rule XXVII (see rule on page 7), I EMANUEL CELLER (Name of Member), move to discharge to the Commitee on RULES (Committee) from the consideration of the RESOLUTION; H. Res. 574 entitled, a RESOLUTION PROVIDING FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF THE BILL (H. R. 7152) which was referred to said committee November 27, 1963 in support of which motion the undersigned Members of the House of Representatives affix their signatures, to wit: 1. Emanuel Celler 2.

Lehigh & Hudson River Railway Baldwin (built 1944) 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotive 12 leads a southbound freight train past a tower protecting the New York, Ontario & Western diamond at Campbell Hall, New York, late 1940's

Lehigh & Hudson River Railway Baldwin (built 1944) 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotive 12 leads a southbound freight train past a tower protecting the New York, Ontario & Western diamond at Campbell Hall, New York, late 1940's. During WWII, when the L&HR Railway required new and powerful locomotives they went to Baldwin and ordered 3 copies of the Boston & Maine R1-d class 4-8-2 Mountain steam locomotives, numbered 10-12. Check out that large Centipede tender supplied with the locomotive. These locomotives only lasted in service for six years because the L&HR then dieselized in 1950 and these rather new steam locomotives became redundant.

What's Lost is Found

Ch.12 Left Behind

Other Chapters

The former sheds of the narrow gauge line were a sorry sight, the roof having collapsed years prior. The trackbed was lost in the grass, marked only by what stood around it. A line of slate wagons stood crumbling on a siding, a few had collapsed under their abandoned loads. A small pile of coal stood next to the sheds, which Gwyn began shoveling into an abandoned wheelbarrow, Screech emptying it into her tender.

A rickety water tower stood between the two lines, Mali helped Freda swing the hose over to Screech. 

Screech thrummed contentedly, a deep pulsing rumble that shook dust and soot from the nearby roof.

Soon the station team joined them, walking up the road.

Miss Morgan glanced at the slumbering lorry on the flatbed. "I see we have a new fleet member." She said as she walked up to face Screech.

Screech opened an eye, "I wasn't about to leave her. I'm a monster, not the other railway."

Miss Morgan snorted, "If you know any more 'monsters' let me know. I could use more sensible, hardworking, well-behaved employees" She patted a surprised Screech's running board and walked to inspect what remained of the narrow gauge sheds.

Screech was about to doze off when she thought she heard a faint noise.

She tilted her head, trying to listen, again the almost noise came, barely registering even to her.

"Stop." She didn't shout, but nonetheless, the others froze at the barked command.

She unfurled as much as she dared with the crews so close, straining to listen.

She had almost dismissed it as a figment of her imagination when she heard it.

"Please..."

More than a few crew shrieked in surprise or fear as her tendrils lashed out, but they were not her target.

Tendrils wrapped around the remains of the fallen roof with an iron grip and heaved with all her might.

The once seemingly immovable roof flew through the air, pieces tearing off from the force of the air racing against them before it slammed into the side of the mountain with a thunderous crash.

Even Gwyn and Freda were staring wide-eyed at the disintegrated remains of the rood as Screech's tendril probed back into the shed.

She felt around carefully, before gently wrapping around something large. It had been rusted to the rails, so her tendrils burned through the rails around it and pulled the severed rails out with her prize.

She brought the object to herself and gently set it between the rails in front of her.

As her tendrils withdrew it, or rather she, was revealed. A small tank engine rested between the rails. Her funnel was bent and her cab squashed from the collapse of the roof. Her once black paint was worn and chipped, where it was visible at all. Her motion had been removed at some point, along with her tanks and whistle.

The Baldwin 10-12-D stared at Screech wide-eyed.

'Oh, good another stray.' The whisper muttered, Screech ignored it.

"Hello, Little One."

"Hello." The narrow gauge engine rasped back, her voice stolen by years without water. Screech placed a tendril lightly over the tank engine's mouth.

"No more speaking little one. I would not have you damage your voice any further."

Screech reached out and grabbed a bucket that a workman was holding.

He yelped as he was lifted with the bucket up onto her tender. Freda took the bucket and workmen from her and began filling it from the hose. Gwyn began inspecting the little engine, checking her over for further damage.

Mali took the filled bucket and stepped carefully onto the waiting tendril, allowing it to swing her around to Screech's front. One of the workers helps her hold the bucket up to the battered engine so she can drink.

It takes five buckets before the engine can speak without it hurting, ten more before she can manage more than a whisper.

Her voice is quiet, and likely will be until her steam is raised again.

As water flowed through her once again, tears had begun to flow.

"How long was I in there?" She asked.

"Over ten years." Miss Davies said quietly.

"They said they'd come back." The little engine said. "That they just needed to unload the lorry to make room for me."

Mali had gently wiped away the engine's tears with her rag. "We're here. We came back, and we're not leaving you here."

One of the abandoned trucks chittered with coughing laughter, "There's no room on your flatbeds, you'll have to leave her behind."

One of Screech's larger tendrils smashed through the truck's rotten frames with enough force to bury itself several feet in the ground.

"We are NOT leaving her behind."

The other remaining trucks, rather than upset, were cheering and catcalling at Screech’s display.

The lead workmen hesitated, "Miss Gwyllgi, the Flatbeds are full. we could leave some workers with her so she's not alone, but we currently don't have a way to take her back this trip."

Screech glared.

"She will not be left behind at all."

Tendrils wrapped gently around the smaller engine's frames and lifted her.

"I will carry her if I must, but we are not leaving her behind"

Miss Morgan approached and looked at Screech searchingly, "You are sure? It's miles back to Llogeran, then even further to Uman."

"I am certain."

Miss Morgan nodded then turned to the work crews, "Check over the buildings for anything we missed then report back. I want us back at Uman before dark."

As the workmen scattered, Miss Morgan and Freda joined the efforts to clean the tank engine as best they could. 

"What is your name, little one?"

"I never had a name," she said, wincing as Freda scrubbed a particularly rough section. "I was called by my old number 590."

"What would you like to be called?" Maki asked from where she had squeezed into the remnants of the cab.

The engine blinked, "I am 590." She said self-consciously.

"Well, that will never do," Gywn had taken advantage of Screech lifting 590 to clean the undercarriage. The whisper was attempting to convince Screech to fake dropping her to scare him.

The little engine looked hurt at his statement.

Screech rolled her eyes, "They believe all engines deserve a 'proper name' little one. They will call you by 590 if that's what you wish, but good luck convincing them to not give you a formal name."

"Really?" The engine nervously asked.

"Really," Freda said as she popped Gwyn with a rag, causing him to yelp. She pointed at Screech. "Screech is officially named Gwyllgi, but everyone still calls her Screech."

"What's going to happen to me when we get to Uman?" 590 asked nervously.

"You're being taken to our works for restoration," Miss Morgan said, "if you know where any of your missing parts are, it would speed up your restoration."

The engine blinked, "my tanks were left beside the workmens’ shed."

"Then the crews will find them." Miss Morgan reassured her.

Soon the workmen returned, some carrying newly found tools, others carrying 590’s tanks between them, and the lead foremen's team carried boxes of documents from the main station.

Miss Morgan did a head count, and upon confirmation that none were missing, they set off back down the line.

Samson(loco ver.)

Ah yes Samson, bit of a prick isn’t he? Still love his character and of course was going to be a part of my roaster of characters. I said in my Leviathan post that he was part of the old Narrow gauge line that ran into the hills. He was the goods engine on that line, and pulled the heavy freight trains. He is a Baldwin 10-12-D locomotive, he was notorious for his rocky riding like a lot of his class was. Didn’t help he had a bad attitude about things, and took an extreme dislike to Leviathan. 

He wore a dark purple livery with black lining with a yellow center. He had a habit of using strong language. Samson doesn’t mind Sagan, and won’t go out of his way to be an ass to him, but will be just as snippy as he always been regardless. His personality is one for one with his in game self, snappy, bit of an ass, and always blunt. Overall he’s very similar to the parasite we all know, and love(?, tolerate at least).

[unknowncreature19]

Small update I did decide to change the other engine from the teasers, the gray one to a different design! That’s why the story was taking a little longer. I don’t know what the model train is called but is a mix of that and baldwin class 10-12-d ((which I’m showing right now))

Don’t worry, the story is still working on! I’ve been just been working on other stuff and worry about stuff in the world lol

Full breakdown of SDCC 2024

Thursday:

I got into the con around 45 minutes after I got there, 10:15 or so

Headed into my first panel, "Avatar: Braving the Elements"

Saw Janet Varney (Korra), Dante Basco (Zuko), Michaela Jill Murphy (Toph), and Greg Baldwin (2nd voice of Iroh)

They reenacted a few scenes from the show, did a short trivia game, all around good time

Later on I decided to explore the con a bit more and got myself some dice, a Doctor Who poster, and had some fun with the booth they set up

Around 1:15 I headed to the pier to get in line for the Percy Jackson panel in Hall H (since it's such high demand, what Hall H does is give out wristbands for the next day; Wednesday bands for Thursday panels, so on and on. Wristbands give you guaranteed access into any panel. I didn't have one, so I got in the line very early so I could still see the panel)

Even so, I still ended up being 20 minutes late, but I was able to see the majority of it and what I saw was quite fun, so yay

I immediately headed off to get autographs but you needed wristbands for that, too, so no luck

Was starving at this point, so I caved in and bought some food

Got picked up by my cousin (and then we later got stuck on the water for three hours, but that's not SDCC related)

Friday:

Learned my lesson from the PJO panel and opted to head in line for the Doctor Who panel at 12:30 two hours early instead

I got in, but I accidentally overshot by a whole 45 minutes as I sat through the earlier Lord of the Rings panel

But I like LOTR, so it was completely fine

Saw RTD, Ncuti Gatwa, and Millie Gibson, they showed some clips of the upcoming Christmas special and some new shows on the way

Got gifts for my friends, a Doctor Who print, D&D dice, and the Book of Bill

Had some ramen (water wasn't hot enough but it's fine, I ate it anyways), did more exploring

At 3 pm I left the con to pick up my stuff and headed to Amtrak to catch my train for home

All in all, I had a lot of fun, and I hope to go next year

Kickstarter Item Arrived: Cute Creatures Compendium by Catilus!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To expand the Opinions & Truth ( O&T) blog, MonriaTitans started The Weekend Game Show ( WGS) to educate on and discuss different aspects of game development, and to show why video games can take years to make, to prevent another Cyberpunk 2077 launch scenario. Watch MonriaTitans on Twitch and YouTube!

In addition, she shares educational quotes to promote literacy, the legitimacy of video games as an artistic medium, and regarding a Cause of the Month to raise awareness, while giving Artist Shout-Outs to human artists to combat AI art theft. Want to learn more about the Artist Shout-Outs? Click here! #createdontscrape

The Artists Shout-Out posts can be seen here, on Instagram, Facebook, Discord, and more!

She is also an artist under the handle TitansMonriArt.
