Thoughts?
This is actually really good lore info that you gave us, so ty for that hun! The thought of kind of a “light essence” controlling the cable is really interesting to see!
Also, POOR OLLIE! Getting traumatized by a wrench and nasty scrappers! 😭
If the trains have no crews, then why do they have cabs? Those are specifically for crews to keep them out of the weather. Even if cabs are weirdly required for the trains to come to life, then they'd certainly be either removed after the train awakes or at least boarded up to keep train-hoppers off. (If James didn't notice some boys messing with his controls, then the trains not noticing a stowaway in the unmanned cab is a real concern.)
Adding to this, the earliest locomotives don't have cabs, just footplates where the controls are. The controls are meant for the crews to use. If the engines don't need them, then the controls would also be phased out designs and removed (or at least made inaccessible so troublemakers can't distract the train by messing with the controls).
(My sincere apologies if the first panel comes off rude, this entire ask really rubbed me the wrong way for multiple reasons.)
Hello????? These. Are. SO GOOD!

Maybe that’s why I love them XD
my two faves have some similarities heheh!!
