#thomas and friends stepney

Once in a million years, when the planets and stars align…I draw train people!

Aka: Thomas and Friends Gijinkas.  

Ok, so fun fact, I decided to make Stepney a girl in this Gijinka mainly because when I was a kid, I misheard his name. 

The original character is a male character named Stepney (based on the real life engine of the same name). However when I was a kid, instead of Stepney (STEP-NEE) I heard Stephanie (STEF-A-NEE) because the names sounded so similar. So I just thought that the character was a girl engine this entire time and didn’t know he was a dude until like…much later in life. 

In honor of my dumb childhood self, and because I like drawing cute girls, I made my Stepney Gijinka a lady! Ain’t she cute?

She looks KINDA similar to my Thomas Gijinka, mainly in the hair and smile. It’s not too much of a family resemblance, but I wanted there to be SOME family resemblance since they are canonically cousins. 

So yeah, hope you enjoy this! Might draw more train people. Like Bowler/Class 40/D261. He's my favorite underrated character.

According to my studies... The Engines are cats.

Giant metal cats. Need proof? Allow me to present my case.

Exhibit A: Zoomies.

All those time the engines felt the need for speed and went hurtling down the tracks like they've lost their minds? Cats do that too. In some cases, the end result can have the same level of property damage.

Exhibit B: Swatting. Also known as, aggressive/panicked shunting.

Thing doesn't work right? Smack thing. Cats do this all the time. Engines do too. We see this a lot when they interact with trucks. Something looks scary/wrong about that truck? Or it's acting up? Get that away from me!!! *Rams Truck, sending it flying*

Exhibit C: Aversion to water.

Most cats don't like water. Neither to engines. Even if it's not enough to put out their fire. They just hate it. There are obvious exceptions of course, like James. (But he's pretty much the engine version of an overly pampered house cat, that gets baths everyday, so that makes sense.)

Exhibit D: Flying things are bad.

Percy and Harold. James and the Hot Air Balloon. Need I say more? Cat's like to chase, attack, and eat flying things. They hate them with a burning passion.

Exhibit E: Neatniks.

Most engines like to stay clean, or at least get cleaned up after the hard work. They hate hate messy paint, dirt, and mud. Sound familiar? James is the perfect example of this. He's like that cat that licks itself everytime you pet it, because you "messed up it's fur". Lol.

Exhibit F: How did you get in there???

Cats seem to get themselves in the weirdest places. So have the engines. They are almost always found in the weirdest predicaments. And certain engine on Sodor, has done this MANY TIMES. How he managed to get clear on the other side of a mountain without tracks? Good luck trying to figure that out Topham. Pfft.

The engines are cats. I rest my case.

(Note: This is not to be taken seriously. This is just silly posting. Thank you.)

Happy birthday to the best boi! DUCK!!!

So I have a head canon that all engines have a section of wall in the sheds that is dedicated to all of their big achievements. It’s to help them feel better when their sad, but also to remember some highs. So I drew a small section of Duck’s wall.

Top left:

This is a picture of Duck and Stepney not long after they double headed the express after the class 40 diesel failed. I feel like Stepney and Duck’s friendship is often over looked. I head cannon that their drivers totally write letters for the other engines to read.

Top right:

This is a picture of Duck having a Great Western Railway conversation with his idol The City of Truro. I would have loved to hear their conversations.

Bottom left:

This is a picture of Donald with Dilly. I feel like it is often forgotten that Duck was very important in Donald acquiring Dilly. So Duck is clearly Dilly’s second father.

Bottom right:

This is a picture of Oliver and Duck on the Little Western. It didn’t become a real Little Western until Oliver joined Duck on the line. They have such an amazing dynamic together that I wish we had more stories about them too.

On the far right is a flag that Duck received from when he helped save a man in the regatta all those years ago. This feels like something Duck would have kept for all those years and smiles every time he sees it.

As the yelling and hollering of the scrappers faded, Rusty's manic grin settled into a peaceful smile.

“We've done it.” They panted. “We're past the yard limit. We're back on our own railway. Mission accomplished!”

The little steam engine beamed, and likely would have woken the entire valley with his whistling had he the capability. But with his boiler dry and firebox cold, he could only smile.

“Thank you, Rusty.”

“Not a problem, friend.”

Book 18 - Stepney The “Bluebell” Engine

Story: Stepney’s Special

Super happy to have participated in the RWS collab this year!!!! 😄

[the-quackeroos]

as Duck has a quick mug of coffee, he and Stepney notice Thomas fetching his last branch line train.

(I felt like doing another episode redraw. ^^)

[visionarylocomotiveworks]

"Now for a sprint!" puffed Stepney. "I'm ready when you are," replied Duck.

~Season 4, Ep 18 - Bowled Out.

Here's a REALLY old one I found digging through the drive. This one is from 2013, but you can see how much has changed since I was doing art back then...

A few random headcanons that I have no place for

-Victor has a pair of custom made bifocals that also double as safety glasses, his vision is fine, but where he’s studying blueprints that have tiny details and numbers, he likes to have the magnification. The safety glasses part wasn’t necessary as engines eyes are tough and almost described of having the consistency of bouncy balls, Victor likes to set a good example and doesn’t think it would be fair if he was the only one that didn’t need to wear safety glasses while the other workers do. One of the men also took an old welder’s visor and made it so it could clip onto Victor’s glasses and be flipped on like clip on sunglasses. Victor didn’t ask for them, the workers were concerned about the possibility of him getting welder’s eye since he often works around a lot of welding.

- the break room at the steam works used to have a little tv, when they upgraded the works, Kevin stole the tv for him and Victor. Because both of them are so used to the loud noises of the steam works, they cannot sleep when there’s no noise, so Victor’s driver just turns on the TV and they fall asleep to it. When VHS came around, Victor started getting video tapes of telenovelas from Latin America.

-Victor loves soap operas and telenovelas, Kevin prefers docuseries about engineering and building, but he’s developed a taste for telenovelas. Their Christmas tradition when the steam works is closed, is to watch all 60 seasons of general hospital back to back commercial breaks and all. The workers always show up at the works the next day to find them red-eyed and passed out in the berth.

-after the cricket ball incident, famous cricket players started sending Stepney autographed cricket balls.
