We Love Making Up Fantasy Railways. Wizard Towers Need Rail Access Too. How Else Do They Get All Those

We love making up fantasy railways. Wizard towers need rail access too. How else do they get all those reagents?

I wonder if anyone has ever informed Tumblr about the concept of the "Freelance" in model railroading?

It's basically OCs but for railroads. If you don't have a specific prototype that really does it for you, it's a time honored tradition in the hobby to go off and make up your own, oftentimes with *elaborate* lore. They can run the gamut from extremely serious, plausible, extremely well researched railroads with routes mapped out on Google Earth, to the John Allen school of "that's a fun idea, ship it" (see also: Emma the Organic Switcher)

It's a really fun little corner of the hobby

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.
