So @geezers-louise made a tier list on how traumatised they're planning to make the engines in their au and I loved the idea of that so much that I'm stealing it. (Check out Geezers-louise's au!)

I am so normal about these two I swear.

Omg 4/4 it's Peter Sam day!

He is the best Good Boy

any peter sam hcs ?

*calls a 9 ton machine a "good boy" repeatedly*

Sidenote, apart from the asks I still have to answer, I’m calling a lid on these questions. Hope ya’ll understand!

He’s always had a knack with charming coaches, both on the MSR and SR. Trucks, barring that one accidental time, hardly act up with him either. On both railways, he took it upon himself to name every truck that wanted a name. (Spoiler alert: You’ll hardly ever find a truck that prefers being anonymous. And how can you blame them?)

Impressively, he seems not to have forgotten a single one. In 1955, several ex-MSR trucks were bought by the Skarloey Railway Preservation Society from Marthwaite Quarry. Peter Sam first brought them onto SR metals, and eagerly crowed his whistle for the other engines to meet “Ax, Ginny, Scrag, Chocks, Cobbles, Princess, Warpy, Whippy, Teahouse, Froghead, Twobits, Snappy, Alex-Vander, O’Tool-“ you get the point.

Peter Sam, then named Stuart, got along with his last driver on the MSR so well that said driver applied to the Peel Godred Works Railway to keep working with him. You should’ve seen his face when Driver Shaugnessy first turned up at the Aluminum Works with his rags and tools, it’d bring tears of joy to your eyes. They recrossed paths and worked together again when Shaugnessy was later a volunteer on the SR. I’d say his continued presence during those tumultuous years wherein Peter Sam moved between railways twice was a huge, huge boon to the little engine’s mental health. Shaugnessy retired from the footplate in 1976, meaning he was still around to see Peter Sam and Sir Handel reunite with their Granpuff.

Ok ok so let me break it to you guys, my friend says that my James looks like a deadbeat divorced dad with three kids (peter Sam,rusty,Duncan) with 1 young brother (Percy) and 1 younger sister (Rosie), not to mention James also has a father (Henry), so that makes hen a grandfather of the three boys.Soooo yeah once I settle up my au I will headcannon this and please dont attack me for this🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
