Lithgovia Trainz - St Gunzel and Cathedral

St Gunzel and Cathedra

The only image of Holy St Gunzel, in existence

St Gunzels Day is observed on 4th of December (4/12) every year. This may be due relation to Rule 412. We do not know.

Location

St Gunzels Cathedra is located aptly in Railway Ave, Lithgovia.

Evolution of Cathedra

First Incarnation of St Gunzels Cathedral

St Gunzels was first constructed in April 1912 (4/12). It catered to Narrow, Standard and Broad gauges. It burned down during the great fire of Lithgovia, which is believed to have been deliberately lit by an ancestor of Lord JatzCrackers, who wished to emulate Nero fiddling.

First Rebuild

St Gunzels was rebuilt opposite the Crib Room of Lithgovia Railway. Unfortunately this was situated on the banks of Lithgovia River and one morn, the cathedral was found in the river. This was believed to be a suspicious event, result of a dare to re-enact the pulling down of North Melbourne Loco by K 184.

This suspicious act was recorded by the Lithgovian Coroner as "death by misadventure". Lord Axa Chute Shunna was most disappointed, feeling thus deprived of blood vengeance for the wilful and abandon destruction of such a holy edifice to St Gunzel.

Final Rebuild.

St Gunzels Cathedral was rebuilt slightly further down Railway Ave, nearby the Lithgovia Brewery, which is staffed and operational 24/7. St Gunzels now has its own station on the Cathdral Grounds. Litigants at the Lithgovia Brewery have sworn to eternal vigilance over the Cathedral which has the relics of St Gunzel: a clipboard and pen.

Rite

St Gunzels is Basilica Cathedral the Very Unorthodox Patriarchate of Lithgovia; 'tis an orthodoxy of its own.

Presiding Prelate.

The current Prelate of St Gunzels is Monsignor Oldfart. What you see above is his coat of arms. This emblazons both a locomotive and a carriage. However, the Lord Procurator and Builder of Rolling Stock (Lord 574M) has plans for the good Monsignor. He will be shortly taking posession of a new locomotive and Ex-Cathedra travialling vee-hickle. Travailling, you ask? Why indeed, the travel without his beloved Jana and Dana and Lana causes the good Monsignor many travails.

Railway Operations at St Gunzels

St Gunzels has its own station with three roads, a head-shunt and back platform for use by rail motors and other assorted railway (and sometimes not railway) vee-hickles. Here you can see many trains in the platforms, back platform and Cathedral Shunt, all at St Gunzels. Upper left foreground shows vehicles in the Lithgovia Brewery, St Gunzels Covent.

Christmas Goods at the Doors of St Gunzels.

We understand that on special occasions, trains arrive at St Gunzels from may different directions. North Pole Control rendered a train order to Lithgoivan Train №2512 last year at 2.00PM. We understand this image was captured shortly thereafter:

The North Pole Special arrives with Santa at St Gunzels.

St Gunzels has been the scene of much activity. Here, you see Christmas Provisions on appropriate rolling stock at the entrance to St Gunzels. These were supplied for the annual service distribution of food and victuals to the poor and needy.

Quest for the Holy Rail

It is understood that this quest will be offered again on the 4th of July, 2007.

The last quest produced this:

This was submitted as rail with the marks of a carpenter.
