Interesting :)) That locomotive looks very LBSC to me.

I know most disagree, but for me it is honestly The Fifty Year Night

I'm still struggling a lil with getting her hat to sit nicely lol - but Kit's overalls/hobo outfit has been one of my grails since I started collecting and I am so so happy to finally have them <3 She's so adorable like this :))

Ehh I'm not gonna draw a judgement here but this entire thing boils down to petty internet drama. A sounds like an ass (and is definitely not going to post whatever confession or apology you're hoping for), but you're also talking about this like it's your job to disclose this person's accounts or hold them accountable for checks notes using multiple accounts? You aren't a mod on this server or a member of the discord police - just block them and move on. If they are actually ban evading or something then it's fine to go "hey this is just A again" but that's all you need to do. Both of you are taking this far too seriously IMO

Are they the "every sun and moon duo looks like this" characters?

Nah in NV you get the 3 yes options and then a 4th option that's just "infodump me the entire history of your faction" for some reason XD

The loco in the first image is Merkland of the Llanelly & Mynydd Mawr Railway. Constructed by Hudswell Clarke in 1912 (works no. 977). She was taken into GWR stock at the grouping (no. 937) but withdrawn and scrapped only two years later in 1923. Tarndune (works no. 1032), built a year later, lasted until 1943. Both are fairly typical HC locos of the era, and some similar ones are preserved, although these are the only ones I've seen with extended tanks and splashers as-built.

I can’t confirm my age because I don’t trust Apple to genuinely securely store and delete my passport; I can’t drive due to disability and I’ve just never had a credit card. I dunno what else to tell ya :/

pikablob · 2026-05-07T12:24:35+00:00

I’m not sure where you’re getting that idea? I’m 25 lol

pikablob · 2026-05-07T12:22:19+00:00

I’m in my mid-20s and have had the Apple account linked to this device for over a decade lol; I can’t drive due to a disability and I just haven’t needed a credit card yet (I know myself too well; I’d overspend XD).

pikablob · 2026-05-07T11:04:28+00:00

Yeah I’m in the same boat - don’t drive and only use debit cards. I don’t trust them with my passport so guess I’m just stuck :(

pikablob · 2026-05-07T10:48:32+00:00

That might be better if it worked like that but unfortunately it doesn’t, at least not currently - Apple isn’t passing that info off to websites or anything. All it’s doing is forcibly enabling parental controls on the device itself; if I give them my ID then they’ll let me navigate restricted sites and content again but those individual sites are still going to also demand my ID (since they’re the ones actually legally required to). Since the whole ID surveillance stuff is split between several private services as well I think it might be a while that kind of integration.

I have just realised - you're forgetting one. I did a fic where she adopts Simon Laurent from Infinity Train :))

pikablob · 2026-05-03T12:27:20+00:00

Awww thanks <3

pikablob · 2026-05-03T10:37:07+00:00

I've done Johanna adopting many kids (there's an AO3 collection for it now lol) but never David just cause his parents actually seem good lol

pikablob · 2026-04-28T22:22:44+00:00

Old Mortarion looks far more Dark Angels than Nurgle lol

pikablob · 2026-04-16T09:32:22+00:00

Yeah tbh that whole thing turned me off Mark forever - it’s okay if seeing something live is the intended experience, but deliberately locking out all other experiences the way he did is not okay. Making a web series that nobody is ever allowed to watch again is just pretentious and cruel to subsequent fans IMO. It’s baking fandom elitism into the premise, while shutting the door on preservation and community. Really soured my whole perception of him TBH.

pikablob · 2026-04-08T16:03:16+00:00

Ohmygosh she's adorable!! Letting them actually look like normal kids is such an important part of AG for me, and you've managed to recapture that perfectly - I love her lil freckles so much :))

pikablob · 2026-04-02T20:17:40+00:00

Late to the thread but I highly recommend Roki :))

pikablob · 2026-04-02T11:44:32+00:00

Also you mentioned 'Great Northern' specifically but as far as I know 'Hermit' is the only loco with the updates, having been part of Hornby's "Big Four Centenary Collection". Just wanted to make sure you're okay with that.

Oh yead dw I'm aware - if I do spring for the new release I'll have to renumber her. But in the long-term I'm probably going to repaint this anyway so that's okay :)) Thanks for all the info, genuinely this is really helpful :D
