Iron animals (stylized as Iorn Animals) is a story I have been writing, it is about a group of anthrophorphic animals who find themselves in sutuations that are larger than they should be handling.
Iorn Animals takes place in a fictionalized version of the Antelope Valley of California, taking place in north east of the fake valley. Here lies the bustling city and a class 2 railroad called "antelope valley lines," a regional railroad that operates around Los angeles and farther out.
iorn animals centers around 4 people from this area, Samuel H. Alvarez, Emilia D. Willson, tenko F. kujo, and Alejandro R. Delgadio, each representing their own things in this world, they all are friends to eachother more about them here(link not ready yet)
I would also like to point out iorn animals is also technically a thomas the tank engine AU/fanfiction, since most of the main cast work with AVL, and AVL canonically currently owns the sudrian engines. i would like to point out that there is currently 2 ways they ended up there, since I haven't decided currently,the first one is, after a devastating economic collapse in the island, AVL took up the fleet in a sort of rescue purchase, allowing them to continue operating in the valleys of California. the second idea I have is they were always just there as shop builds, imports, or custom built orders, this allows me to lean more into rewrites, but also keeps me from having the non engine cast since they are all modern day people
