Artwork by me it was done a long time ago probably in early 2015

"It runs on prayers, cuz they're all we got left."

Seriously, its engine is choir-powered. Why?

Cuz it has a conductor

Surprised this isn't here yet afaik, so have my favorite fictional train from a (imo) underrated anime.

In my dream, I was back at school. For some reason, they were doing a charity sale, and in the science room, someone was selling a lot of OO scale trains. I remember a bunch of real trains in that lot, a class 43 Warship, a Thompson A2/3, and then there was this.

It was definitely GWR in origin, but it was a 2-8-4, which never existed in the UK. It had four cylinders, a topfeed separate from the safety valve, a double chimney, a round-topped, slanted firebox (similar to flying Scotsman), and an eight wheeled tender (same as the great bear). It was painted red with white lining, and the late BR logo. It had a number, but I don't remember what it was.

While I was holding a model of this engine, I woke up. I don't know what it was called, but I'm calling it a GWR Bishop class.

Any other name suggestions? What do you guys think?

A pre-dreadnought is a type of battleship built roughly between 1880 and 1906. These were massive machines with heavy armor and serious firepower.

In this simple concept, I tried to translate their spirit into a train.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.
