* ( TTTE ) * steamies and diesels need to work together!

Gresley really did say "fuck that noise" and decided to give his child the power of god and anime so he could go all Zeus on that Luthor lookin ass. #TTTE #Thomas #Series5

Time to post some of these here me thinks! #ttte #trainz

"Some day they'll clamor for Dram-morrrrr!!!"

This weekend we have quite the number of visiting engines to our little railway to Celebrate 200 years of the modern railway. Even though we are a miniature railway, we don't want to miss out in taking part in the celebrations. Special trains will be departing from the station later today. ~ Cars.

one of my most popular designs

"Here is NWR No.2 in ex-works condition, fitted with a brand new cab and tender body. The tender inspired by the nearby Midland Railway Deeley tenders. Designed to hold slightly more coal and water and Cab designed for further cover for the crew."

A nice way to celebrate the 80th Anniversary

SOMEONE HIRE THIS ARTIST!! Also I feel this so hard. I tried to get into an animation class, showed off a piece of animation I did for a web animated series. (Which has been sold on freaking DVDs mind you) Then I proceed to get told “I see you have great passion!” B r u h.

These live action remakes are getting out of hand.... and in Wales for some reason.... @trinketgirl53.bsky.social

Microsoft Windows Task Bar from 1995-2022

The manual option definitely attracts more player interaction, which is a big plus in my mind! What you could do is base the UI on a steam loco's actual cab controls (albeit simplified) - make the throttle knob look more like a steam loco regulator, the direction toggle like a reverser lever, etc?

Very exciting!!

On this day in 2007 "Thomas and Victoria" premiered "Overloaded" marked the first time Henrietta has a face in the RWS "Avalanche" marked Victorias first appearance as well as Albert and Helenas only appearances. Along with Edward's final RWS speaking role "Eels on Wheels"-

Been considering something lately How would people feel if I did a sort of bed time story like series/weekly livestreams? Just something nice and simple where I or a chosen creator reads Thomas stories (RWS included) with some background ambiance to aid with sleep and relaxation.

After having a bit of downtime before going back to work, I've been getting a lot of story ideas from each end of the timeline and nearly all characters across the island. I might try and explore Edward and Bear...

Sooooo...about those Old Coaches.

- We definitely need more representation of RWS, CGI, or hell, even AEG for that matter. There's like, way too many models of the main TVS cast nowadays. - Route makers deserve the same love and attention as modelers do. - People should be more creative with their styles of screenshots.

people should be less needy when something is private. when something is private its private. you aren't going to get it if you go buddy buddy with the guy that made it.

More public RWS models outside of just the main cast. I'd love to see more videos in that style. It would also be cool if someone made a site or database for all sites stuff. I miss having a central place for the Trainz community like the SI3D forums where. Something like that again would be cool.

As for TTTE Hot Takes, there is no substantial reason preventing most characters from being a different gender in an adaptation. A number of characters were different genders in dubs (Bertie, Duck, Bill & Ben, for instance) and it changed nothing about their stories, so they can easily be girls.

@rhydyronen.bsky.social delivers again as we make our way towards the Brad & Jinty stories with something brand new! 😉 A new railway project allows two engines to meet for the first time, of course, with some trouble. "Castle's Confusion" premieres this Sunday at 3:00 PM EST

Edward, Gordon and Henry take a reluctant, but surprising trip down memory lane, as they celebrate a historic anniversary for their railway... Marking 80 years of The Railway Series, 'The Thin Clergyman's Engines' premieres TONIGHT at 8pm BST!!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUOA...

Posted this on twitter, thought sod it post it on Bluesky as well. The jambo is still alive and breathing. And much happier than when he was at awdry. Again thank you Cam Jones @gauge_cam. But, a massive thank you to Rosie @jamostrainos for providing cam with the 3d files to make the boi possible.

HERITAGE WEEKEND - FULL DETAILS Join us on the 13th/14th September for a celebration of our rich 160 year history! The CARNOG WORKING HORSES at Abergynolwyn will be showcasing work once carried out at Bryneglwys Quarry - with horse drawn waggon demos (subject to availability.)

ahh yes [checks smudged notes on hand] britpop demon hunters or something like that #myart #ocs #harleycastlerose #michaelramsden #rileymcqueen #kpopdemonhunters

As an addendum to this I wish the community was a little more positive too! It's easy to point and laugh at something or someone but we're all dorks at the end of the day, we should be lifting each other up! And if you don't like someone or something just ignore them! It's easy!

More people need to be let cook. Everyone has to start somewhere and no-one starts with their best work. Also let people cook with their weird shit! Art is weird! Weird is cool! People are too quick to judge smth for being different or not fully polished

I’m bored, what are y’all’s biggest TTTE/Trainz hot takes…!

As BlueSky has just hit 20mil users, we thought we'd introduce ourselves! We're the Talyllyn Railway - running from Tywyn on the Welsh Coast up into the mountains towards Abergynolwyn & Nant Gwernol. In 1951 we became the World's First Preserved #Railway, starting the Heritage Railway movement!

Am quite fond of my TWR style stuffs, really aught to do something with them...

maaayyy be working on some things

ARAR Hard Hat #Cosplay from #SIGNALIS made by me! I've made the design fully open sourced with all steps on how to make it in this document: docs.google.com/document/d/1... I am happy to do commissions of it, if time/equipment is an issue for people <3 kingcommission.etsy.com
