I've finished the initial writing and layout for the Navvy background. Its design is similar to Cairn's backgrounds but with a longer description and an additional page of tables and flavor. Some things might change after playtesting and feedback but overall I'm happy with the outcome.
For this background, I'm drawing heavily from Fire & Steam by Christian Wolmar, The Railway Navvies by Terry Coleman, and Navvyman by Dick Sullivan (which is available to read in full on victorianweb.org).
I'm hoping the other backgrounds will move along faster but who knows what kind of rabbit holes I'll be drawn into next.
