Dear friends, I’m so sorry to say Jinty and the coaches remained at odds - which led to quite the spill! Read about it in “Colourful Remarks”! Yours truly, The Author With thanks to @/rhydyronen for the image! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Shading/lighting isn’t my strong point, but I’m pretty pleased with how this turned out! Wanted to have a go creating an illustration of my own creation, but still in the Sugimori style!

Dear friends, Jinty found herself at odds with the coaches, and their soured relations nearly fouled up a special rail-tour - but our Jinty is a resourceful engine! Find out what happened in “Jinty’s Brake-Through”! Thanks to @/rhydyronen for the image! t.co/U0SC51ZnYX

Dear friends, Upon her arrival at the Big Station, Jinty found herself at odds with a grumpy James - but got her own back quickly! I hope you enjoy “Clockwork Engine”! Sincerely, The Author With thanks to @/rhydyronen for the image! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Gengar used Dream Eater! So much amazing Sugimori art never made it to the West. Here’s my take on one of the Bandai Pokémon Carddass cards!

I did NOT expect to this to do numbers like it is, so for anyone seeing this and not following - hello, I’m TheBuriedTruck! I’m mostly a writer, but am beginning to dabble in digital art. I hope you enjoy - there’s plenty more to come!

Hoothoot has been one of my favourite Pokémon ever since I was little. Really happy with how the watercolours turned out here!

Dear friends, On her way to the Fat Controller’s Railway, Jinty had a slight delay - and a lively encounter with Diesel! I hope you enjoy “Tall Tales & Tricks”! Sincerely, The Author With thanks to @/rhydyronen for the image! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

In case you were wondering, Pokémon are MUCH easier to draw than trains 😂

Dear friends, As we move from Sherman to the story of another engine, we find James in a spot of bother upon Duck’s branch line promotion. See what happens in “James on Display”! Yours truly, The Author With thanks to @/rhydyronen for the shot! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Dear friends, In the final story, Sherman comes to grief with an enthusiast, leaving his future in question. What happens next? Read on and find out in “Night Moves”! Yours truly, The Author With thanks to @mechanicalshed.bsky.social for the image! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Bet you thought Gordon was next, eh? Far from perfect, but after struggling with perspective for so long, it feels so good to somewhat get it right!

Massive thanks to @theburiedtruck.bsky.social for commissioning me to do illustrate for one of his stories of a rather determined little diesel shunter named Sherman

Dear friends, The arrival of an old adversary left Sherman feeling unimportant - until an unexpected opportunity came knocking! Find out what happened in “Sherman’s Shuttle”! Yours truly, The Author With thanks to @theartistash.bsky.social for the illustration! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Dear friends, Sherman’s friendship with Gordon had the little diesel eager to prove himself - perhaps a bit TOO eager. How, you ask? Find out in “Sherman’s Gumption”! Sincerely, The Author With many thank to @01Salty1 for the illustration! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Time for No. 2!

An attempt was made.

Dear friends, We’re all aware that Godred met an early end - but did you know a story survives of his attempts to “help” with the Mountain Railway’s construction? You soon will - I hope you enjoy “Godred’s Guidance”! Sincerely, The Author docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Hi all! I know it’s been a while since I’ve put anything out, but I can assure you I’ve been hard at work on what is my biggest collection of stories to date! I’m not sure when they’ll be released. For now, all I’ll say is Friend. :)

Anyhoo, in more cheerful news... I ended up rewatching this @crasson.bsky.social video written by @theburiedtruck.bsky.social on a whim last night. Quite possibly one of my favourites in terms of charming, slice-of-life adventures. Take notes everyone⭐ youtu.be/1K6q8Bnx9CA?...

Had some writer’s block and needed to get past it. I assigned a number to each RWS character, then used a wheel to find unique pairings. This was the first - hope you enjoy the short! Thanks to @/sudderym.bsky.social for the image! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

So I've been on a Buried Truck fix for a bit so here's a model I whipped up kinda fast - Ethel. She's only a static model for now but I'm sure there's some way to do it Ethel was created @theburiedtruck.bsky.social

A very Happy Birthday to Christopher Awdry - I wish him good health for many years to come! Anyone have any favourite Chris stories? “Fire-Engine” has always been a standout to me - in my opinion, one of Chris’ biggest strengths is writing fun “at the shed” banter!
