when rusty says ‘call me rusty’ all the engines shout ‘rusty!’
belle yawning when introducing herself, tassita whispering that he’s the quiet coach and shouting ‘i’m tassiTAH!’ then dinah calls him that later with a ‘you’ve upset tassiTAH!’
dinah, belle and tassita jumping and landing in position during I am me ‘we want the crown and we want. it. now!’
rusty staring at pearl when he goes to take the coaches to work that belle has to point his head ahead
rusty’s wobbly ‘woo-woo!’ where he wobbles his body and arms then pearl mimics it the way she says ‘excessive’
coaches pulling poses in freight when going ‘oh no’ ‘oh shucks!’ ‘it’s the freight trains!’

so much interaction after coda. silver bullet and blue lightning giggling and whispering to each other, slick spinning orange flash around reaching out for them like ‘gimme gimmie!!!’
tassita and belle coming up beside dinah when she tells pearl to make up her mind holding hands and standing like proud parents. tassita even tries to reach out for rusty then frowns when he skates away

slick sitting on the amp and being wheeled on it by lumber after the rap
tassita and belle didn’t help dinah up in uncoupled, she had to stand up herself
tassita finally got rid of the tissue and gave it to belle who had no clue what to do with it so just held it by the corner and started shaking it

greaseball singsonging ‘I can’t hear nothing’

in light when they make the little arm tunnel the right hand side all jumped in unison and kicked one foot backwards
hydra playing rock paper scissors with someone in the audience in carriage 1 (can’t remember when)
overall a lot of freight interacting with the audience!!
-
bonus audio cuz. it’s awful quality as I was sat between screamers (so valid btw they had a wonderful time and I don’t blame them) and an older man but I feel like everyone deserves to hear this since so many are talking about it <3
hi again :3 I drew dinah too! I plan on just going thru the roster (in no particular order) till I run out of steam (get it) so if there’s someone you wanna see next, let me know!
i had a sketch froma couple months ago of their designs, i feel like i would have designed them differently now but i just lined and colored them in for fun :p
btw my greaseball design follows the older/bochum costumes more but is a she/her butch cuz i really like butchfemme greasedinah :D but my preferences for the costumes sticks a lot with bochum and the og london costumes!!
i hope i can spend time drawing more stex aaaa im too busy :sob:
