Aside from the footplate and firebox shape, Stanier’s first pacific draft looks pretty on par with Awdry’s Gordon model

Here is a sketch of ‘46 and ‘62 that I drew a few days ago.
Neither of them have an actual basis, but their designs are inspired by engines built by the North British Locomotive Company for Egypt and India. I headcanon that the Fat Director ordered them after he was swindled with Henry

If any of you are following BrendenReis10’s account here, please unfollow and block it. I think the second picture pretty much explains why - he is an unfaithful, degenerate pile of scum. He has hurt an innocent woman, and will definitely do the same to more. If Twitter has been talking about this-

I’ve just started making a Fat Controller’s engine. I won’t say who it is, but the WIP pictures will tell you that it isn’t Percy or Henry

We know what the first ‘Coffee Pot’ looked like, but Numbers 2-4 looked similar to this engine pictured here. No. 2 looked like the second picture, but was rebuilt using leftover parts from No. 3 (cotd.).

So, with this logic in mind, could 87546 have been a LB&SCR K Class, specifically, No. 346 (875*46*)? It was a 5F (actually 4P5F, but let’s just say ‘46 pulled goods more than passengers), and the Clan was a 4 (98*4*62). Granted, ‘46’s number doesn’t start with 98 but I digress

- Her name is Poppy
- As the station pilot, she works in Tidmouth Yards
- She is an ex-LNER engine
- Her favorite engine is Gordon
- She sleeps in her own shed in the yards
-Fun fact: she was once blue, but I painted her green so as not to confuse her with Thomas

Rhondda is the engine in charge of the Little Western’s extension to Harwick, and can pull trucks and coaches with no issue. She used to work at a colliery in South Wales (where she picked up her accent) until she was withdrawn and bought by the Fat Controller sometime during the 1980s (cotd.).

Ocho (named as such because he is the eighth member of his class) works on Thomas’ Branch Line as a goods engine alongside Percy. He used to be a shunter at Tidmouth Harbour, but retired to the line sometime after Salty arrived. He is painted in a deep shade of red with yellow stripes (cotd.).

The remainder of the Fat Controller’s engines (except for Pip and Emma and the Peel Godred engines, which I will get to later) are all mixed-traffic designs, with some exceptions. I will call these the Thunderbird Fleet.

There is one other engine on Edward’s line named Alicia, who looks after the goods traffic alongside BoCo. She is an entirely new engine, and was built sometime in the 1980s out of excess spare parts from Edward. To tell her apart from her cousin, she is painted red with blue stripes (cotd.).

Two of the Wellsworth and Suddery engines (Nos 1 & 2) are still in service, and work on Edward’s Branch Line on push-pull services. Nos 3 & 4 currently reside in the Vicarstown Railway Museum, and are still in working order to this day. All four carry the original W&S dark blue livery (cotd.).

There are two ex-ROD 2-8-0s on the Fat Controller’s Railway named Mildred and Duffy. Mildred is painted green with red stripes, while Duffy is painted in a dull workshop grey with red stripes. Both pull goods trains on the Main Line alongside Robin and Irving (cotd.).

Maud is an old engine who pulls commuter services on the Main Line, and is painted in a deep shade of blue with red stripes. She used to be a part of the Fat Controller’s private collection, but became a part of the railway around the same time as Regaby did (cotd.).

Pug is painted red, and is the main shunter at Vicarstown Yards. As the yards there aren’t as big as Tidmouth, he doesn’t usually feel overworked. Like Jinty, he visited Sodor during the events of The Eight Famous Engines, and was bought from the same colliery as her (cotd.).

To elaborate on Matthew’s persona, he is much more mature than he used to be. Strong-willed and dependable, he knows how to put any rude engine or truck in their place, and is always up for a good joke. However, elements of the old Matthew tend to shine through, no matter how hard he tries (cotd).

I was being hasty when writing Susan’s description. After I had finished, I realized that she was too similar to Edward with regards to some of their traits. Therefore, I have decided to retcon her personality to some extent (cotd.).
