The Galaxy AKN

Ok, I guess pretty much no one will get the epicness of this picture Llama Emoji-06 (Depress) [V1] 
So let me tell you the story of the galaxy AKN...

Recently I start watching "The galaxy Railways". After all I love Leiji Matsumoto's stuff...
The Galaxy Railways in a nutshell:
Flying trains in space (with cannons) saving the galaxy.

How epic is that?! Got me instat captured...
So after episode 3 I wanted to draw a fanart of this super awesome steam locomotive Big One. When a thought popped up in my head... a thought that seemed so absolutely ridiculous and weird... the AKN in space!

Now here is the hard part. To get this you need to know the AKN.
In the regions where people know the AKN and you say something like:

Need to go and get the next AKN!
you get a reaction like: oh I'm sorry for you!

Actually the AKN is not so bad (Ok from time to time I curse her too... If I miss the right one and sit for an hour in the middel of nowhere and wait for the next one) she is just... different.
The AKN is not part of the Deutsche Bahn (the one big railways company in Germany). It's a small private Company connecting a bunch small villages in the middle of nowhere to the city of Hamburg.
There ar two mager differences:

1. Most of the AKN net has only one rail.
which means the trains meet at stations to pass each other.
2. AKN has no electric rail.
They have hybrid diesel locomotives. Whis is actually pretty cool. (they can run with electricity if they have it.)

More random AKN facts:
Bullet; Blue The diesel engine is so loud that you have to scream to talk to someone. Also each move of the engine is like an earthquake!
Bullet; Blue AKN is the only train with fluffy seats! (except you get a very old one then you have springs in your butt...)
Bullet; Blue AKN is always super warm (except in summer...then it's a sauna from hell)
Bullet; Blue AKN is the only train that stops and waits for a person that would miss the train.
Bullet; Blue The people that work at the AKN are all very nice and cool
Bullet; Blue AKN sometimes does strange things (Like drive with open doors)
Bullet; Blue We have a spcial edition AKN with a big picture of a cow on it!

Wow thats a bunch of text... after riding the AKN for 3 years each day I think I could write a book about it. :P

So for the case someone of the AKN might actually find this...
please take it with humor. Maybe somedays we will go to space and eventually I will still sit in Kaltenkirchen and wait for an hour for my train...
But I love you guys and the AKN. You are doing a great job! And see you tomorrow...
