guess who's got more favorite steam engines? <3

London and South Western Railway T7 class "Drummond Double-Single" - This includes the E10s, as they're pretty much the same as the singular T7. Just look at them! So weird looking (wheel config. is 4-2-2-0) yet very pretty!

London and South Western Railway 415 class - Just absolutely gorgeous beauties.

Midland Railway 115 class "Spinners" - Another Single engine going on the list! Just like the Caledonian Railway Single, this one has the pistons on the inside. This engine was capable of reaching speeds of 90mph! Well back then it was. xp

Great Eastern Railway Class S69 - The "Claud Hamiltons but better." The fact that these engines were pretty versatile, rebuilt and rebuilt, is really cool. I definitely prefer the B12/4, which was the classification the S69s allocated in Scotland by the LNER received. These were never rebuilt.

Great Western Railway 2884 Class - I wasn't too fond of the GWR engines from the start. Overtime, though, I've come to like them. This class is the improvised version of the 2800 class. These 2-8-0 were mainly goods engines. Got attached to this particular engine, No. 3817. She was the only one who didn't make it out of Barry Scrapyard, unlike the rest of her siblings who were there.

Great Western Railway 3700 "City" class - Another 4-4-0! Again, I wasn't much of a fan of the GWR engines, because they have similar visual features, but I have come to like them for that same reason. You gotta admit, they look really cool. I still find it impressive that a 4-4-0 (debatably) managed to reach 100 mph.

Great Western Railway 3031 "Achilles" class - Oh yeah, we got another one. Now these engines are just gorgeous! Sucks that the replica of "The Queen" had its tender scrapped, just to make room for construction. I just think that's stupid but maybe there's a reason that I just don't understand so I'll leave it at that. :p

London, Midland, and Scottish Railway Ivatt Class 2 "Mickey Mouse Tanks" - big and chunky. that's it

Deutsche Reichsbahn Class 01.10 - Running out of things to say, so the rest will have random or no commentary. I just think they're cool looking. <3

Great Eastern Railway Class P43 - Would be a crime to not drop my other favorite Single. Also, I'm in love with the GER livery. SO pretty <3

New Zealand Railway WW Class - BIG CHUNK TANK ENGINES!!! UWAUWAUWA

Nederlandse Spoorwegen 6100 - The improvised NS 6000

ok that's it for now :3333

Must be in a... "Great Western" Mood.

The loco at the top is GWR 6000 Class 6024 "King Edward I."

And the bottom loco is none other than GWR 3700 Class 3440 "City of Truro."

I wonder how something as phallic as this streamlining on a GWR 6000 might be seen in a sentient vehicle world.

The BR crews remained forever grateful that sex-ed was virtually nonexistent among engines, meaning that most of them did not get the joke. Those that did kept it to themselves owing to complicated inter-yard politics, but the nickname "King Dildo" was definitely tossed around in the back of the shed.

One of the class - a non-streamlined example - eventually had the joke explained to him, and suddenly found his colleagues' appearances to be uproariously funny.

Locomotive, King George V by D70 Via Flickr: For my video; youtu.be/q6_pXsfNxJw, Great Western Railway (GWR) 6000 Class King George V is a preserved British steam locomotive. As the first of the class, No.6000 was specifically named after the then monarch of the United Kingdom King George V. Built at Swindon Works and completed in June 1927, following a period of running in, the locomotive was shipped to the United States in August 1927, to feature in the B&O's centenary celebrations. During the celebrations it was presented with a bell and a plaque, and these are carried to this day. This led to it being affectionately known as "The Bell". The bell carries the inscription: Presented to Locomotive King George V by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company in commemoration of its centenary celebration 24 September – 15 October 1927 York National Railway Museum York, England, UK

More info about your OCs? I’m curious!

I don't write about my OCS much, but here are some Google Docs about a few of them.
