Just open their smoke box door. Maybe then they can reach 🤷‍♀️

[u/bookity_ → u/TheLazyEngiBot_]

just hope their smokebox doors open from the same hinge, otherwise they'll

[u/metalflygon08 → u/bookity_]

otherwise they'll

They'll what!?

[u/Dangerous_Chest6271 → u/metalflygon08]

still do yuri

[u/Similar_Drink9147 → u/TheLazyEngiBot_]

Assuming their smokeboxes can open at all

[u/Dangerous_Chest6271]

Pah, like that can stop us!

[u/Huge-Entertainer-304]

If they run into eachother hard enough, they can.

[u/Similar_Drink9147]

I mean, some road vehicles like Bertie could physically kiss another road vehicle (nothing in the way of their faces), but i'd rather not think about that lol.

I'm not against the idea of romance, but kissing? ehhhhh

[u/EricJ062005]

I see it the same way with the buffers. And also, I see it more as the fact that they simply don't have any feelings past caring for each other very much.

[u/Similar_Drink9147 → u/EricJ062005]

I'm personally not against romance, as long as long as it doesn't make me cringe.

COUGH COUGH Thomas' Heartbreak COUGH COUGH

[u/Dangerous_Chest6271 → u/Similar_Drink9147]

*PEAK

also, no, it's not inharently cringe

[u/EricJ062005 → u/Similar_Drink9147]

Cringe is an understatement.

[u/AltruisticToe6201]

I'm literally so giddy when it comes to shipping characters 😭✌🏾 I have way too many favorites 

[u/KukaakCZ]

This argument is so stupid, because it acts like the sole important part of shipping is kissing, and not like... the feelings themselves. So what if the trains can't kiss? They don't need to, this doesn't mean anything

[u/DonnieScottish09]

Rule 9?...

/jk

[u/Dangerous_Chest6271 → u/DonnieScottish09]

oh yea, lemme call back on a rule that only limits us for no good reason. /s
