Hug the gort

Why do we need people when you can befriend a train?

Especially one that is capable of biting you in half.

Merritt wearily pressed his palm against the cold grey face.

The metal beneath his fingers vibrated threateningly from the low RPMs.

The teenager lazily petted the bridge of the giant's nose.

It felt like trying to cuddle a working meat grinder.

Pinchy let out a sinister, warning clank overhead.

Diesel 10 squinted and growled flatly: "I am not your pet dog."

It's been a long time coming since I conceptualized this guy, but I think I'll finally introduce him to tumblr: meet Lenny!

I've been cooking with his character on discord; long story short, he's Diesel's near-identical, scaredy cat cousin that has a severe phobia of steam engines after a one-sided altercation left him with a permanently broken nose

He genuinely means well and does want to be a useful engine, the problem is his fear results in him physically malfunctioning to the point that he blows his engine out more often than not from fear; on a technical level, nothing is wrong with him, it's just his psychological issues heavily impact his ability to work

Both his US Voice and UK Voice would be Mr Nervous from The Mr Men Show

I've had many a talk with @superarti over her character Whisper developing a friendship with Lenny, as well as the ocs of @lunamooo @british-hero @railwaycreature and @dieselworks-devotee
