Author has written 7 stories for Thomas the Tank Engine. “I have never met a lover of railways who felt the slightest need to produce any justification for his pleasure. Why should he?” -Roger Lloyd, The Fascination of Railways Hello everyone. I'm a female railfan (yes, you read it right) and I love steam locomotives to the moon and back. My username is a tribute to Rosie The Tank Engine and Angelina Ballerina, my daughter's favourite characters. English is not my first language, so I hope you understand my mistakes. I believe in God. Most of my stories include references to Christianity. My OCs: Locomotives and their bases (all from the USA): Nathaniel - B&O EM-1 #7629 2-8-8-4 (renumbered #679) * Built: August, 1945 Austin - B&O EM-1 #7600 2-8-8-4 * Built: 1944 Bernard - B&O EMD F7A #4538 * Built: December, 1950 Washington - B&O P-7 #5300 “President Washington” 4-6-2 * Built: February, 1927 (preserved) Jessica - N&W J #611 4-8-4 * Built: May, 1950 (preserved) Humans Gabriel Sand (Driver) Sophia Sand (Gabriel’s wife) Mr. Brian O’Mara (Driver) Mrs. O’Mara and Nathania (Mr. O’Mara’s wife and daughter) Joseph McAllen (Driver) Elijah Wise (Baldwin's employee) A special character who appears in my fics is Lady, the Angel of the Engines. This is not TATMR Lady as we know her, but a heavenly being inspired on her character. She is the angel entrusted with the task of helping humans to give live to the engines as they are built, and, in the case of an engine is subsequently scrapped, she takes his/her soul again to carry it to the Railway of the Clouds. The engines usually address their prayers to her, and they notice her presence by the particles of golden dust that appear in the air at certain moments. He is the real PERSON OF THE YEAR… He got the attention, respect and LOVE from the entire planet. He made millions of people happy. He made a crowd of strangers share smiles like old friends. He made the dream of millions come true. And he did not need to do many things to get all that. He did not spit nonsenses at any UN conference. He did not denounce or send to jail those who do not share his opinions. He did not burn churches either. He only did one thing to earn his place in history and make people fall in love with him: he got into a steam shop with his workmates and restored the UP “Big Boy” #4014… He is a real gift from Heaven. He is Ed Dickens Jr., the Person of the Year. End of discussion. Why do we love steam locomotives so much?
