    The Thomas the Tank Engine writers have restraining orders against me because every time I watch an episode I'll bombard them with emails/calls/threatening letters stating that such-and-such locomotive model didn't actually have a human face. They're inaccurately portrayed as speaking and having emotions. The LB&SCR E2 Class 0-6-0 Tank had no emotions.

      I watched an episode on slip coaches and was surprised how faithful it was to the real life phenomenon for a kids show.

        I was just surprised by the fucking liars trying to gaslight me about the physical and cognitive capacities of trains. They're MACHINES.
