[Meta] Galaxy Express 999

[robkelk]

I've been looking for public-domain images to put in the FenWiki, and noticed that "Galaxy Express 999.jpg" was still wanted. Who's the bright boy who specified she was originally a Victorian Railways H Class Steam Locomotive? (Apparently, they only ever built the one, and http://www.steamtrainartist.com/image_s ... L1058.html]the only image I can find of it is definitely not in the public domain.)

Does she have to be H Class? There are plenty of photos of Victorian Railways R Class and Victorian Railways G Class trains in the Wikimedia Commons...

I do believe it's something to do with the look of the H Class being more in keeping to the original. That said, your google-fu has failed you! As the wikipedia page has a PD pic, an possible one's here. If not acceptable, perhaps a local forumite might be persuaded to drop by and take a pic.

That's what I get for using Alta Vista image search instead of Google... Thanks!

Edit: It's up. And as long as I was poking around in that part of the FenWiki, I copied the data about Maetel and used it to "stub" her charcater page. (That's one more "Wanted Page" down, http://fenspace.net/index.php5?title=Sp ... 0&offset=0]301 to go... )

Mm. If we have the Galaxy Express, how long until we have a Hogwarts Express?

We don't even have a Hogwarts yet... Okay, we do, but nobody's written it up yet.

(There are a few Wizarding-World-related FenWiki articles that are either stubs or nonexistant. Who wants to write them up?

• http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?title=10_Hygiea]10 Hygiea - The faction's home.
  
• http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?titl ... &redlink=1]Hogsmeade - The main city/town/settlement/what-have-you on Hygiea.
  
• http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?titl ... &redlink=1]Hogwarts - The faction's main educational institute.
  
• http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?titl ... &redlink=1]476 Hedwig - One of Fenspace's major communications hubs, built and maintained by the Wizards.
  
• http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?title=Quidditch]Quidditch - The major Potterite sport.
  

For inspiration, http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?titl ... ding_World]The Wizarding World is the place to go for information about the faction.)

Maybe the 999 runs special "Hogwarts Express" trips at the beginning and end of school terms?

Only if it can change its livery to red for those runs... the Potterites wouldn't accept anything less.
