"I'm tired of pushing coaches, I want to see the world," said T'oumii the Tank Engine. The other engines took no notice, for T'oumii was a little engine with a long tongue. One morning, Eggar came to the shed. They were a kind engine, and felt sorry for T'oumii. "I'm taking a goods train today," Eggar said. "If you take it instead, I'll push coaches in the yard." T'oumii and Eggar asked their drivers, and when they said yes, T'oumii slipped out of the shed to collect their wagons.

Thinkin' more about how Gymnomi slimes would anthropomorphize trains. Obviously as these are Earth prototypes and not Gymnome ones, this is not canon. As discussed in my last few posts, Gymnomi Slimes are more likely to anthropomorphize trains with squash and stretch and giving machines more obvious body language, rather than adding faces, since Gymnomi don't have to have faces but do have to be squishy.

id want tidmouth station as the centre piece, with the station on the side against the wall with retaining walls and town facades, and the yard on the edge of the table, complete with a turntable (oliver owns up) and some coal chutes (various episodes)

to the left, the “main line” would turn into a balloon loop, which in the centre of said loop would be tidmouth sheds! looping through and going through the station once more we would arrive at a henrys tunnel facade, which wouldn’t be an actual tunnel, but rather a cutoff board for the other balloon loop, which would have the iconic windmill!
