I'm trying to make Crimson left of a jerk to Twilight, but at the same time, having a no nonsense attitude due to him wanting to get the engine moving asap.

I'm trying to make Crimson left of a jerk to Twilight, but at the same time, having a no nonsense attitude due to him wanting to get the engine moving asap.
What if all this were to do with an argument between intellect and experience? Knowing Twilight, she'd probably have read up on the mechanics of locomotives long before this, and it could lead to a few differences between her and Crimson regarding repairs to the valve gear, how best to fire the engine, or something along those lines.

maybe. Most of Twilight's books would be of more modern engines while Crimson knows his engine like the back of his hoof.

That'd make sense, considering that older engines tend to have smaller fireboxes and boilers and less accessible motion than more modern ones - not to mention a lack of superheating and, in some really ancient types, only a crosshead water pump rather than steam-powered injectors.

here's the argument so far. lol
