We do a lot of Scottish stuff, but people keep asking us about blue Scottish engines, so here's one the designers dreamed up....
This month's 'rejected' livery, perhaps?

"I will fix you."

Digital art. The shadowy forlorn figure of Makani Moana is reflected in Sefina's tearful eye, orange ceiling lamps casting shadows across Sefina's face.

Gotta love Triang TT! My Dad's little engine hasn't run in 15-20 years, but a little oil and a bit of running in and its like she's never been away!

An Ally's Thanks

Sefina, grateful to Marcus for all his help, can't help but playfully rib him now and again. After all, why else would he stick around if he wasn't at least a little into her?

Marcus, flustered, is very quick to set the record straight.

A short five panel comic focused on characters Marcus and Sefina, who are carrying supplies to Sefina's abandoned sugar railway shed in Hawai'i. Sefina teases Marcus, saying he must be into her since he's helping her so much, which he staunchly denies. She then goes on to thank him for all his help, and he tells her not to thank him yet, as they still have plenty of work to do. Sefina resigns herself with a fond "Don't I know it?"

In the early 1920s, like many other railways, the L&P bought 6 ex-WDLR wagons for their own use. 5 D class wagons and 1 H class tanker.

The opens got board extensions and block buffers for quarry trains,whilst the tanker was only given draw-hooks.
Only two Ds would be brown.

Saying Goodbye to Hawai'i.

The ship draws slowly out of the harbour with a ragtag group of passengers on board; a couple of cars, a steam engine, a Scotsman and a Hawaiian, the latter of whom knows she might never see her homeland again.
