Description
Travis is a big blue tank engine, who lives on the Tipperton Railway. He has six big wheels, and four small wheels. Travis has a short stumpy funnel and a short stumpy dome. His blue paint has white stripes, and on his water tank, the numbers seven, six, one and two are painted in bright yellow. Travis is a lazy engine, and often leaves his work till late at night, when everyone else is fast asleep.

Hello everyone! My name is TravisTheNightEngine, and this is my first ever post! This character here is my main character, and my own personal representation. I plan on writing and illustrating a few short stories based around a fictitious railway known as "The Tipperton Railway". The stories will take place in Scotland, in the very late 1920's. Just after the big four were created in 1923, but well before British Railways took over. These stories will be called "The Tipperton Tales" and will feature a recurring cast of four engines, including Travis.

As for Travis, well here are some basic stats and information. He is based on a Nigel Gresley V1 Tank Engine, built circa 1928. He is technically of the LNER, despite his colour. Which I plan on explaining later, within the stories. His service number is 7612, which to be honest, I thought was accurate to his model, until I discovered that number belonged to a Jinty Tank Engine. I suspect people will be calling me on the fact he's blue more than that though.

Please, feel free to let me know what you think! I'm just starting out. Call me rubbish, leave me feedback, give me tips!

I hope to hear from you soon.

Travis.
