...and crashed his car by trying not to hit it on the road. So, yeah, my buddy Knight Templar, one of my editors, is without a car and not even a shred of venison to comfort him. But hey, at least Santa's not down a deer.

Updated Chapter Illustrations! · 3:15am Nov 28th, 2015

First, from waaay back in Chapter 4, Vanderbull and his trusty assistant Gadget at the train station, just before Twilight sees them both off.

First, a cryptic little announcement: I got some good news in the mail recently and I'm hopeful that it'll mean good things for "The Iron Horse." We'll see soon enough. :raritywink:
