Traintober 2023 Day 20 - Live Wire

[ladychandraofthemoone]

Apart from Hiro, Victor, Ashima, Nia, Kwaku, and a few others, what other international engine calls Sodor their home (or second home in the case of Hiro)?

Well, Hiro ends up staying at Sodor after staying at the Vicarstown Museum and now works at the Tidmouth Pier railway with Gator, nicknamed the “Spirited Away” line since the rails are above water but it gives off the impression that they’re racing in the ocean 🌊 (think Lake Burlinskoye).

I’ve mentioned before that Etienne is part of the Peel Godred Branchline alongside Kana. He was 9004’s sibling and he was on static display at the Cité du Train but since Sodor (and by extension the Mainland) offered to help fix him and others for preparation and ends up meeting the rest of the electric engines, he felt right at home and loved to stay and since the museum agreed cause they couldn’t properly accommodate him.

There’s Gina she was actually part of the early days of Sodor as part of the S&M, she’s very protective and looks out for her other colleagues but she ain’t gotta mess around, she bonds with Emily and Lily over this. She stayed especially when Italy 🇮🇹 in ww2… she’s now works at Edward’s branchline and part time at the earl’s museum (also Beau is there)

there’s also Tracy the tram engine working for the Vicarstown tramway along with Flora and her oc sisters.

also some ocs like Koko, Akira, Kana and Kenji’s sisters, Lucia (which was actually Gina’s old concept art and name is a FS electric locomotive), cfr mountains engines Chinh Sơn and Tuyết Hien, miniature engines Kessie and Polo from Kenya 🇰🇪 Tracy’s sisters Macy Lacy and Stacy.

Bingo! Diesel/Etienne!

This one is fun. Boxes on boxes!

Setting aside the logistical complications (Etienne has never actually been to Sodor and has no real reason to go), this is an interesting concept to me mostly because Diesel is *always* going to react to the engine in front of him, and it's nearly always going to be negative. Especially in the case of an engine like Etienne who just has a lot going on mechanically and visually.

Diesel doesn't take well to engines like that. I'm reminded of the first time Diesel encountered Flynn where he accused him of "just standing around, looking fancy". It's sort of a weird accusation to lob at Flynn of all guys, but it suits Etienne perfectly with his pantographs and porthole wimbows and all that unnecessary fastness. I could easily construct a CGI episode in my head where Diesel meets him properly and gets a bit silly over how much attention Etienne is receiving and how the definition of "revolutionary" has changed.

That said, as far as shipping goes I don't really see it romantically, but you could easily construe a jealousy plot like the one suggested above into Diesel having a misplaced little envycrush.

a preview of the the ttte/miraculous crossover? 👀

So on this one I don't have any proper prose writing done. It's more of a long document of notes and brainstorming, but I can give you the gist of it!

The trains of Sodor and Paris are on for a rematch. Blaming technical issues for his defeat in The Great Race, Gordon is certain this time he'll win by a landslide. Henry, Phillip, James, and Thomas are also coming to Paris, but the big race is between Gordon and Etienne.

The Miraculous kids hear all about it in class thanks to Max going on about it at length, citing various related numerical statistics. Alya's going to see the race because her little sisters are going through a train phase and Nino's going with her. They invite Marinette and Adrien respectively in that subtle matchmaking way of theirs (this is pre-season 5 so Adrinette isn't dating yet)

The story just accepts that there are sentient trains. No explanation.

The conflict comes in because of Sir Lowham Hatt. He came partially to support his brother, but also to bet on the train race. He and the Parisian station master have a bit of a stand off that is less about trains and more about the English vs. the French. They strike a sizeable bet, but then Etienne wins (again) and Sir Lowham Hatt is a sore loser.

So sore a loser that he gets akumatized and becomes Sir Signalman (or Monsieur Répartiteur in French). Growing enormous and turning all of Paris into his toy train set. Turning anyone who's hit into life-sized wooden carved figurines like early stop motion Thomas and Friends

This interrupts a scene where (in classic seasons 1-4 Adrinette fashion) Marinette almost maybe is going to let on to Adrien how she feels, or at least interrupts a Moment™, as suddenly Alya's whipping out her phone to Ladyblog it, everyone's running for cover, and the trains are also in a panic. Adrien and Marinette respectively dash off to "hide" but really to transform.

Ladybug and Chat Noir have to team up with Thomas, Gordon, Sir Topham Hatt, and the others to stop Sir Signalman.

The lucky charm is a railway signal light. Gordon gets launched through the air at some point ( oh the INDIGNITY! )

In the end Sir Lowham Hatt learns not to be a sore loser and Gordon has to begrudgingly accept that Etienne won... again. But you know what they say about home turf game or whatever.

In the end Paris is saved again and while Sir Lowham Hatt caused confusion and delay, both the trains and our Parisian heroes were very useful engines

Big World, Big Adventures Railtour Program Part 7: The World Works On The NWR

This will detail my HCs for some of the visiting engines, specifically the ones that actually worked on the railway during their visit. Visitors from the Mainland UK happen so often that I will not be counting them here despite the fact that I mentioned it in earlier parts. One engine joined the fleet after her arrival, and her name is italicized.

Etienne (France)

Etienne would work on the Peel Godred Branchline when he came to Sodor. He is the SNCF BB 9004 and was built in 1954 as a prototype, setting the world speed record for rail transport on March 29, 1955, reaching a speed of 331 kmh (about 206 mph). He was withdrawn in 1973 and placed on static display in the Cité du Train in Mulhouse. He remains there today, and his visit was during January 2016.

Gina (Italy)

Gina worked on the Ffarquhar branch line.  She is a Società Ferrovie Del Ticino 0-4-0T. She started life in 1877 as No. 204, and was renumbered as No. 205 in 1888 when the Ferrovie Nord Milano acquired her railway, and later would be renumbered as No. 200-05. Initially she was used on local passenger trains, before being allocated as station pilot at Milano Cadrona railway station in the 1920s. She remained there until the 1960s, when she was withdrawn. In 1974, she was restored to working order. She would visit a twice: in July 2019 and July 2020.

Lorenzo (Italy)

Lorenzo was employed on the main line as a goods engine. He started life as an FS Class 740 2-8-0, No. 740-283 in 1918, only to be rebuilt into a Class 743 in 1952. He would remain in service with the FS until 1979, at which point he was at last withdrawn and preserved. He would visit the railway together with Gina, and returned to Italy afterwards. He is currently stored inoperable in Torino.

Settebello (Italy)

Settebello worked on the Peel Godred branch line. He is an FS ETR 300, specifically No. 302. He was built in 1953 and used on the Settebello trains between Milano and Roma, hence his name. He would later be downgraded to less important passenger trains in 1984 before finally being withdrawn in 1988. Even after this, he was hired out for railtours and static displays until 2004, when he was stored. He went to Sodor in June 2015, and has since returned to Italy.

Yong Bao (China)

Yong Bao worked the main line as a passenger engine. He is a China Railways RM Pacific built in 1963 as No. RM-1163. He worked until the early 1990s when he was withdrawn and preserved at Aioi, Japan. He went to Sodor three times: in August 2018, July 2019, and July 2020.

Hong Mei (China)

Hong Mei worked on the Ffarquhar branch line. She is a China Railways GJ 0-6-0T built in 1958 as No. GJ-1018. She was a works engine at Chengdu works until her wtihdrawal in the 2000s. She was preserved and is currently on display at Sujiatun works. She visited Sodor alongside Yong Bao.

Kenji (Japan)

Kenji worked on the Peel Godred branch line. He is a 0 series Shinkansen train built in 1964 for the Tookaidou Shinkansen. He worked here until 2008 abd was last of his class in service. He is set R61. He visited the NWR in June 2020, and is otherwise on display at Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Hyogo Prefecture.

Hilo (Korea)

Hilo is this AU’s version of Hiro and is a Korean National Railways Mika 7 Class. This is, in fact, identical to Canon Hiro’s basis, a JNR D51, though standard gauge. He is one of two engines built for the Korean National Railway in 1950 and the only one to be preserved. He is currently on static display in Busan, though worked the main line as a mixed traffic engine on the NWR. He is an anomaly by the program’s standards, as he has visited the NWR on several occasions beginning in September 2009 despite the program only being launched in 2015. He did in fact remain on the NWR on long-term loan between January 2010 and June 2020.

Tracy (Australia)

Tracy worked on the Peel Godred branch line. She was built in 1955 and worked all over the Melbourne tram system until withdrawal in 1992. She was purchased by the Bendigo Tramway at this time, where she acts as a mobile restaurant. She is No. 976 and visited Sodor twice: from July to September 2017 and in August 2018.

Sam (USA)

Sam was actually the first engine to visit the Island of Sodor to kick off the program in February 2015, working heavy goods trains on the main line. He is also the largest, being Virginian Railway Class AG 2-6-6-6, specifically No. 906. He was built in 1945 and withdrawn in 1960. He is one of only two surviving engines from his railway, and the only survivor of his class. He would remain on the railway until August of 2015 before leaving. He is currently in storage in Roanoke.

Vincent (USA)

Vincent “Vinnie” was built in 1936 for the Grand Trunk Western Railway. He is No. 6407 of the U4A class, and worked the main line as a passenger engine during his NWR visit. He was an express engine for the GTWR until 1960 when he was withdrawn and put on static display in Ottawa, Canada. He visited the NWR in May 2016, and the engines regard him as by far their worst experience with any visitors brought to the NWR by the BWBA Railtour Program.

Genoa (USA)

Genoa is by far the oldest visiting engine that actively worked on the NWR, doing so on the Brendam branch line. She was built as an American Standard 4-4-0 in 1873 as the Virginia and Truckee Railway’s No. 12. She worked as a mixed traffic engine, running services along the line between Carson and Reno in Nevada before being withdrawn in 1908, going into storage at Carson works. In 1938, she was restored by the Eastern Railway as No. 60 “Jupiter” in New York for the World’s Fair. She was restored once again as her original No. 12 guise afterwards and shipped to Oakland to become a static display in 1940. She would masquerade as “Jupiter” twice more: in 1948 at the Chicago Railway Fair and in 1969 at the Golden Spike Centennial in Promontory, UT, after which she was restored into her 1902 livery, the one she currently carries. She visited the NWR in July 2018, during which she wore the Jupiter livery, albeit bearing her true name and number. She’s also this universes version of Beau.

Natalie (USA)

Natalie is a General Electric 25 ton shunter, and as her class suggests, these are the duties she performs on the NWR today. The type was used by many American railways. She was built in 1961 as an industrial engine and is a standout here, as she had only recently been withdrawn within the year she came to the NWR, being alongside Genoa in July 2018.

Carlos (Mexico)

Carlos is a GR3 2-8-0 of the Ferrocarriles Nacionales de México (National Railways of Mexico). He was in fact built in 1910 as a narrow gauge engine for the Veracruz Terminal Railway. He would later go on to work for the Teziutlan Copper Railway before being bought by NdeM in 1945. He was regauged to standard gauge in 1950 and withdrawn in 1963, he is currently on display at the  José Cardoso Tellez Railway Museum in Acámbaro, Guanajuato. He visited the NWR in May 2016 and July 2018, where he worked the main line as a goods engine.
