Getting Emotional About Sentient Vehicles

[anonymousboxcar]

Hi! This is my blog for rambling about vehicles (trains, cars, boats, etc.) and media with sentient vehicles. You can find reblogs, headcanons, and occasional fics.

I'm the author of two anonymous works on AO3 for The Railway Series, "For The (Living) Record" and "To The Surface." I have a new account there, anonymous_boxcar, to post the rest of my RWS / TTTE derivative works!

A general warning: While I may discuss children's media on this blog, I'm an adult who may also discuss heavy themes or events in said media or fan interpretations/derivative works. I'll tag necessary content warnings and/or put such content under "read more." Please let me know if I haven't tagged or formatted something correctly; I'll fix it ASAP. There will also be adult language featured all throughout this blog, either used by myself or others.

Some tags for navigation:

ttte: Anything to do with Thomas the Tank Engine or the RWS.

trains: Real life trains and railways.

cars: Real life cars.

boats: Real life ships and boats.

my oc: My original characters.

my fic: Any fic of my own creation.

my headcanon: My own headcanons.

from the inbox :): Asks or submissions that I’ve answered.

I'll continue to develop my tagging system as I go along. I'll do my best to give it some rhyme and reason!

Thanks for reading this long introduction, and have a great day and/or night!

do you think they’re opps or not

plot twist: the humans are annoyed because the diesels invited the black 5 over

[maxwellscorner]

Has anyone done this?

Them Diesels had to deal with a very cross manager the day after, but they'd do that again

Happy Father's Day to him - what started as a gag idea between a few engines very quickly got out of hand and suddenly The Fat Controller was flooded with cards, gifts and appreciation from almost every engine on his railway, and even then some!

Watched unlucky tug's recent video abt engine's crashes and it was very entertaining

But my main takeaway is that it's just really funny to me out of the entire little western the least accident prone is douglas

[djs-sideblog-for-pog-trains]

I can't stop thinking about Douglas and his clumsy idiot coworkers /fond

(That's Donald in the bush, Duck with the inexplicable bucket on his head, and Oliver family guy death posing in the back)

Ylnow gordon being such a bitch to everyone is kinda funny in many ways like king. I still remember how when percy ran away from u in season 1 u made the effort to follow the new guy and reassure him he wasnt gonna get in trouble for this and that u were sorry for spooking him. Like from that point onwards any bitchiness points u earnt are severely undercut by that moment

A working class hero is something to be. An MX-5 RF is an even better thing to be

Thomas The Tank Engine; Alaric

My favourite Mountain Engine of the Railway Series^^ 

[putuponpercy]

Happy pride to them

[theflyingkipper]

remembered idea I had because of toby posts and sapphic ship polls

butch toby

[theflyingkipper]

got it because of a youtuber who makes videos like "my ideal (thomas character)" and he has some genuinely inspired takes on some characters. His ideal Toby is female, and a lot of people in the comments were like "erm how would that work with Henrietta" or complained that he made too many characters into girls.

Its simple. Toby and Henrietta are a butch and a femme.

I adore this picture.

It's the outskirts of the Peak District, Chinley South Junction in summer 1952. This is a vibe and country setting that is captured perfectly in the original Thomas the Tank Engine TV series. Rolling unspoilt fields, quaint cottages, trackwork all looking neat and tidy, the semaphore signals, and of course a grumbling old steam engine with an unglamorous goods train rattling behind.

Oops, another oc just dropped. Meet Amos, an easy going traction engine who, of course, served in The Great War! Felt like making a little doodle of him in a similar fashion to Dave's first drawing. Amos is a kind and gentle soul. He's always willing to help, even if his occasional clumsiness gets in the way.

Character inspired by the Foden Steam Wagon that participated in the 2014 Tracks to the Trenches event on the Apedale Valley Railway.

Uh that's all I got for now! I've been taking a break from drawing big projects recently but I should return very soon!
