Description
This was based on a small chat with a friend on Discord with how it could be possible for a steam locomotive/s to end up in Gensokyo (the place that Touhou is set in). Given that in order for something to be "spirited away", it needs to be forgotten by the outside world (aka our world/ the real world) and with some thought on which designs would be forgotten, we came up with two candidates, the GNR H1 class 2-6-0 and the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway (DHR) D class 0-4-0+0-4-0 Garratt locomotives. Here, I've done the GNR "Yankee Mogul" in a forgotten state with heavy signs of deterioration (covered completely in rust and broken windows) As I still have to find a way to do the DHR Garratt. Theatrically, the GNR H1 would be in a more advanced state of decay as the 2-6-0 would have been in the Gensokyo forest for far longer than the Garratt (the H1 were officially declared "extinct" by 1909 while the Garratt going in late-1954, so the Garratt might have some paint left on it) and the larger engine already leaning over to its right-hand side, due to being exposed to the mercy of mother nature.

This idea was inspired by the two ex-New York Central locomotives of the Eagle Lake & West Branch Railroad left behind in the North Maine Woods when the company went defunct in 1933. The "Yankee Mogul" has had the bottom half softened to make it look like weeds are growing around the wheels of the abandoned locomotive. The background is actually one for the program "Walfas' by KirbyM that has been modified with enhanced grass. I used it because I couldn't find a sprite background for a forest/woodland with has no track to properly give that abandoned look. The rusty GNR H1 is a recolour of the GNR H1 sprite I made, itself modified from a sprite base for the almost identical Midland Railway (MR) 2501 class 2-6-0s.

Background: Stargeneral410
GNR H1 class: Myself (modified from MR 2501 base by JaytheFox99 )
Rust and effects: Myself

I'm back after like about a month of absence as I had to do an account recovery and update things. Hopefully, I'll be bringing in more later next month.
