Sodor fallout AU, hope you like.
Since Gordon is now blind and has his mouth obstructed he has both the Henry's guide him around. He's been learning sign language, morse code, and braille along with the others. The outbreak turning a lot of people suddenly blind or mute.
James can still speak but with a very heavy slur, he's been learning sign and morse to help him communicate better. Percy mainly communicates in morse code by clicking his tongue, he rarely takes off his mask and now eats by sticking a tube down his throat. Thomas is actually not blind in his former right eye, he can see movement out of it like a heat signature that has an incredible radius, it helps out a lot with sneaking around. His third eye can actually see in the dark while his remaining normal left eye is untouched.
Oliver's trachea is actually exposed under his chin and a tongue often sticks out of it, he can still talk through his mouth but nobody is willing to ask what his biology is now to know how he does it (if he even knows himself.) His flytrap-like mouth can twist in spot to become the shape of a normal mouth, his head will get sucked in and his trachea will become the new throat for that mouth. He uses the tentacles on his back often to assist with heavy lifting with the repair projects, but the others are still a little off putted by them, especially people like Percy, Duck, Toby... and well honestly a few who have survived an attack from him. He refuses to merge or even summon his train body anymore.
Apparently I can shut my mouth about drawing for shit on my tablet... this will hopefully make drawing much easier in the future.
I've been on another Sodor fallout kick, so let me explain mutated James and Duck. James has a sort of echolocation, he can make a click sound out of any of his mouths and it comes back to him with vibrations to his teeth, like clickers from the last of us. This by proxy makes his teeth very sensitive, he does not do well in winter as a result, having to put on a mask that covers everything but his one remaining eye. He also has rows of teeth down his throat with the first row being a secondary mouth like the xenomorphs in aliens. James has a hard time speaking because of his deformities so he will often wear a tailored mask that covers most of his face while he's in the company of others, this is also the same mask he will use during winter because of his sensitive teeth. He will take off this mask when he is going out on a mission as his echolocation is often vital for detecting hostiles. Duck was on the road to being infected and mutated when Oliver finally found him, the hole that was punctured in his head actually made room for a more balanced mutation to happen on his body. Duck has the ability to see mutated spots as a glow, this is vital in a way to tell if where they are heading into is a hot spot for radiation, or how mutated someone is. If Duck were to look at Edward or Henry, he sees no glow, just an outline. If he were to look at Oliver he'd see a massive aura, while if he looked at Thomas or James he'd see some moderate auras. While Duck's new ability is crucial in detecting dangerous amounts of radiation, or how mutated someone is, he can only see in black and white with the auras in color. So when a non-mutated person comes up to him he can't see them all that well. (this has led to him running into Percy on more than one occasion.) He normally has a mutated friend guiding him around because of his partial blindness, this person happens to be Diesel of all people since he is marginally mutated although you wouldn't be able to tell it at first glance. That's all I got for now, feel free to ask questions to/about any of the other characters.
