This is a sure event we have no control over. We are mortals, we will die no matter what. Are we remain calm or think this is a catastrophe. What we can control however how we react to those events. And probably this is the OG stoicism most valuable teaching that there are events in this world we simply cannot control. More directly prepare yourself the thing you cannot be prepared for. Back then it was not a reaction to something but a preparation for something. And it was a thriving and popular school without huge wars or pandemics or anything. Stoicism was founded by Zenon around 300 BC. In contrast to those two unique designs, Henry was essentially just a Midland 5MT, and, to the extent that he was a brilliant adaptation of what remained of his original parts to that design, the credit was all to Stanier (who was a little peeved-that ingrate Hatt might have taken the opportunity to show off one of Stanier's masterworks! 'Course, looking for gratitude from FC1 usually was a fool's errand.) Edward was a great example of what Crovan's Gate could do, in fact he was the then-CME's proudest work, but he was also in poor condition at the time, and in any case only the heaviest classes were being examined through these trials-even James had been a bit of a stretch (albeit he proved a darkhorse triumph), but frankly Edward would have been scoffed out of any of the Big Four during this event. James had been improved to a remarkably versatile yet lightweight engine by their then-CME, and Gordon's rebuild had all been to Hatt's personal design. but he was still going to take advantage of the moment to show off Crovan's Gate engineering. Hatt knew that it was extremely unlikely that the national railway would actually take any design cues for their Standards from Sodor. Gordon and James were definitely the obvious candidates to represent the N.W.R.
