Two brothers, already familiar to us 0031 and the last of its kind - 0251. In such a state as they are now. The older one is still working, and the younger one will never be able to move on his own.

"Cheer up, Gordon" "I can't, sir."

After finding out what had happened to his siblings, Gordon had to go back to his family home or what was left of it. As he walked around the empty, rotting building he felt like he wasn't alone..

Recently I lost a family member that was very close to me. Expressing my feelings through Gordon (using art, writing or simply daydreaming) helped me deal with the grief. People may find it silly, but for me staring at this blue train and knowing he went through the same was wierdly comforting.

He's finally donE-

My boY-

It is midnight, I'm starving, so apologies if some of the coloring looks a little drunk.

Anyways, meet my next oc, Sergei.

(info below, even more reading)

- He/him, gay, maybe ftm trans

- Russian locomotive type P36

- Built 1952, worked on the Trans-Siberian railway before being sold and brought to Sodor in 1991

- 54'8"(length w/o tender), 4-8-4, steam powered, coal fueled, one tender, top speed 78mhp

- He worked on the Trans-Siberian railway his entire life, even living alone, and was isolated in the mountains. In turn he had developed severe social anxiety, especially when it came to other engines. The only engines he was comfortable with were the others he would see on his railway, and they even visited each other. But one day, his owner had told him that he had to leave, and was going to a new home; the island of Sodor. Sergei thought his friends would be able to go with him, but they didn't. He was completely alone in an unfamiliar place, and a place where no one spoke his native language. Sir Topham Hatt had to give him jobs that allowed little to no contact with other engines, and gave him his own shed up in the Blue Mountain.

- Sergei is introverted, anti-social, and severely uncomfortable around other engines. He never speaks unless needed, typically nodding or shaking his head, and he avoids eye contact as much as possible. When he does speak he prefers to speak in Russian, as it makes him more comfortable, but it's negated by the fact that no one understands him. He can be very easily overwhelmed, sometimes by simply being stared at by more than a few engines. Sir Topham Hatt gave him nameplates since he has so much trouble introducing himself, so with the nameplates he has no need to

- Engines like Edward and BoCo as well as Skarloey have helped Sergei get more comfortable, but he is still incredibly anxious and dislikes being close to other engines, and is even afraid of engines larger than him, but seems to be more comfortable around small engines like the Narrow Gauges he works with, he is uncomfortable around most of the diesels, and even seems afraid of the Ironworks twins because of how much they harass him

- He pulls goods trains and freight, and occasionally pulls coaches, he is actually very strong and can do jobs that would sometimes take two engines, but due to the communication issue he shouldn't be given too much at once in case of an accident, he can't pull trucks due to his anxiety, but he doesn't seem as anxious with passengers as long as they don't interact with him

- The scar on his face was from an engine who would abuse him when he was young

- He has a habit of stopping really suddenly even if several feet away from his stop, this is due to him being used to having to put a lot of power into braking because of the icy or wet railways he used to work on

- He speaks Russian and English, having a very strong accent, but he hardly speaks as it is, some misunderstand his understanding of the English language and often think he doesn't know what they are saying, people will often say things that hurt his feelings because of this, hearing people talk about Russian stereotypes really hurts him

- Has achieved the introverted but lonely combo

- He can sometimes look aggressive but if you simply stare at him for too long he will cave, he gets overwhelmed very easily especially if there are a lot of people talking at once, he is very sensitive to physical contact and avoids it as much as possible, he greatly values his personal space and is very uncomfortable when other engines are really close(mainly if they are in front of or behind him), he is specifically uncomfortable around strangers, he will hide his face in a puff of steam if he is flustered or overwhelmed, has been prone to anxiety and panic attacks but has improved the longer he's been on Sodor

- He loves anything that reminds him of home, but often gets really sad because it makes him think of how happy he used to be, he absolutely loves snow, he's actually grown attached to the Narrow Gauges of the Blue Mountain Quarry

(engine references used \/)

This one feels like it's much longer than the previous one, but who cares, it's midnight, I'm tired. Aight, hope you enjoy, I love this boi very much, yes I did get inspiration from Mikhail with the engine type, anyways, peace and chicken grease. ✌️✨

Finally I drew something. Thanks to @sodorz​ for reminding me that P36 can be drawn like a person. My version of this locomotive. His name is Pavel, he is young, handsome and very self-confident. The fastest, the best. Behind him stands Sushechka. Sushechka loves his friends, who are faster and stronger than him, but Sushechka knows that he is the most indispensable among them.

How's the drink Gordon

(your pfp XD)

What he said

#ttte gordon

[silly-old-gordon]

if they live in the USSR, why do they have foreign names? Are they migrants, refugees?

If you mean "Felix", it`s not a foreign name, it`s name of Felix Dzerginsky. "Jozeph" is Jozeph Stalin, another transcription is Iosiph. Alexander is also Russian name.
