You're welcome my guy, and this turned out great UwU✨
(also fr can we start a trend because this is blowing up on especially Twitter)
Meme time, lads. Suggested by @mightywonder87 .
She also thought maybe we could start a new trend? XD
Got a great view of Duncan's dump truck right here.
Original format \/
Stubborn Scotsman doesn't like his partner doing stuff for him, and he takes it to the extreme. They don't mind though.
This was so much fun. XDD
Thank you, Wonder, for suggesting this. UwU
I feel like it was about time to show a WIP of that first page
Here’s the team so far!!
i agree with this statement :]

Human Rusty!
A bit of rambling about them below the cut.
As usual, the face caused me a lot of trouble but I do like how this came out. I still can't get the eye shape right. I want to make their eyes sort of pointed at the corners, like in the S4 model, but whenever I try to do that it looks really weird :/ Also I cannot draw noses still so it's just a little triangle hehe. And trying to draw expressions is beyond me still but I am working on it!
Their hair was meant to be half up half down with the top part in two plaits, but I tried and failed several times to draw it like that and gave up. I actually quite like it like this and I like how the colouring came out. Rusty does usually wear it plaited back though.
Because their ears are covered by hair you can't see, but they have multiple ear piercings. I just drew them in a black t-shirt because I couldn't decide on an outfit but they usually wear black anyway so it fits.
Also I actually got the face / jaw shape really nice for a change and then had to cover it with hair 😭 Oh well.
So the other night my brother and I started brainstorming a somewhat Choo Choo Charles inspired Thomas & Friends AU where almost everything is the same, except the trains have legs...
And I've done a bit of concept drawing
The point of these sketches were basically just to flesh out the proportions/structure of a handful of the character's hypothetical legs
I've also decided to give each type of vehicle legs that match a general species group, such as: The mainline steam engines will have mammalian legs akin to big cats or dogs (e.g, lions, wolves, foxes, etc), diesel engines will have somewhat bug-like legs, narrow gauge engines will have hoofed goat-like legs since they generally traverse mountainous areas, flying vehicles will have avian (bird-like) legs, water traversing vehicles will have fins or flippers, and road vehicles' legs will likely fall into a more ambiguous species category
There are a few exceptions to this rule, such as Duck having avian legs (I couldn't resist taking his name literally) or Salty having reptilian legs with webbed feet, but for the most part the characters will follow this species category rule
As for the amount of legs the engines will have, that will differ depending on the engine's size. Tank engines and standard diesels would have 6 legs each, bigger mainline engines would have up to 8 legs (12 with a tender coupled), and narrow gauge engines would typically have 4 legs.
The biggest exception to this rule would be Mighty Mac. Since they're conjoined twins they have a set of legs each, making them the only narrow gauge engine to possess 8 legs. Plus all of their limbs are front legs with opposeable thumbs, another anomaly among engines in general.
Since this has been an unusually text heavy post for my blog, I shall leave you with two bonus (very rough) sketches:
Here we have James in a pinup-style pose (my brother's suggestion) as well as Thomas and Percy hanging out on a shed roof after somehow fining a way up there
Currently trying to design some engines as marketable plushies, more updates will likely be up soon!
a bit of rusty lore
Makes sense, thanks for answering 😊
For Duncan 🚔- have you ever been arrested?
Duncan: Bah! Humans cannae arrest me! Ahm a spirit and we spirits are above human laws!
Rusty: I’m pretty sure there are many times the coppers wanted to arrest Duncan, but what he says is true. All of us Spirits aren’t tied to human laws.
I love this 💖🧡💛
Diesel 10 and Rusty Headcanon:
Before Diesel 10 fell to Sodor and lost his memories, along with being corrupted as a result. Both He and Lady created their own spirit soul together and sending it down to the physical world. That unique soul turned out to be a certain little orange diesel earth spirit named Rusty. He has his mother’s kind hearted and loving personality and got his looks (surprisingly his temper) from Diesel 10. While he does not know that Lady is related to him as a sort of mother, he often feels some form of familiarity. As for him and D10, their relationship is complicated and the former often comes off as distant and blunt towards his father and discreetly tells him to go away at sometimes. Despite this, he does care for Diesel 10, normally telling him to give up on his quest of finding his missing memories and focus on creating new happy ones instead along with telling D10 to go back to Lady since she still loves him and wants him to return to her soon.
👀 remind me to never anger Rusty

Diesel 10: My little pebble’s off to destroy people. 🥺✨✨
Rusty: Seriously Dad?! I’m just heading off to help the workers clear the line from rubble! Not destroying people! 😒😓
