What If A Suburban Tank Engine Was Nuclear Powered?

What If A Suburban Tank Engine Was Nuclear Powered?

What if a suburban tank engine was nuclear powered?

The class UT5 is a concept for what that might look like, with a heaping influence of slightly Americanized British motive power. Brownie points to anyone who can guess the three IRL locos I used as reference!

The size reference is Bob Hannigan, who drove 6110 on commuter service around the northern suburbs of Capital on the Imperial homeworld, out of the Wolton Green depot.

A poster with an orange background and white border. In the orange background, there is an image of a train colliding with the twin towers. Written above the image is "Remember this?" while below the image is written "Of course you don’t. Because it never happened – and never will. A train would never be responsible for an attack like 9/11. In fact, it’s physically impossible. And we here at Network Rail are hard at work to keep it that way. Yet another reason why you should: TAKE THE TRAIN, NOT THE PLANE!"

Below the orange background is the Network Rail logo, forming the phrase "Network Rail never forgets."

Fantasy setting with magic neatly organised into elemental spheres, except each magic-using culture disagrees with all the others about what the primordial elements are, what their associations and correspondences are, and even how many of them there are. Spells always interact with other spells from the same magic system as though its elemental theory is complete, consistent, and correct, but when spells from two different magic systems come into contact it all goes a bit sideways, often in ways that require flowcharts to explain. Like, you think Ground Type vs. Rock Type is bad? There are five separate, mutually exclusive spheres of magic all called "Fire". The Sylvan Confederacy's "Water" magic explodes on contact with the Empire of the Five Pillars' "Water" magic and nobody knows why.
