Description
When watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, most of the architecture is nice to look at, but from time to time does come across the line between "dignified" and "saccharine". The Friendship Express train however, goes well beyond that line. I get that the show was intended for younger girls, but while I'm OK with the pastel colors and expect nothing less, I still think that the gingerbread house look was going too far.With all that said, after doing the Polar Express and Hooterville Cannonball in this style, I thought I'd give the Friendship Express a makeover to make it look more like a train than a gingerbread house, though I did keep the pastel colors and a simplistic design. Hope y'all like it.

I like this design for the train. It fits it more.

Nice job to add the tender for the engine, it can't travel far without it.

I have to agree this is way better, but I doubt that the locomotive would stay purple with the coal and stuff.

It's a cartoon about magic talking pastel ponies, do you really expect THAT much realism in a show like that?

Natural magic does not make stuff not get dirty.
Just look at the CMC and the treesap.

Yeah, I'm fine with the pastel colors, but not with rolling gingerbread house shape.

This should totally be the train's new design in season 7.

Nice! I made my own version, but I only drew the locomotive. I might do the entire train sometime in the future.

Hmm, not bad.
Now, if I may, and as long as you don't mind, I'd like to try to make Thomas in this style, using some a couple of your MLP trains.

*sigh* Go ahead. But I still prefer that MLP trains be non-sentient.

Don't be confused, the show isn't intended for little girls. It's intended for families to watch together.
Good job, though!

You do realize that creators never expected the show to appeal to more people than just its target audience, right? Don't get me wrong, I'm a brony myself, but I try to remember the history of the franchise all the way back to G1.

The locomotive in the show always bothers me. Call me nitpicking, but i always dislike how some animated shows depict a tender engine without the tender.
