Dear Friends, Gordon was disheartened by changes happening on the Other Railway - until he met plucky little Sherman! This story tells of their first meeting - I hope you enjoy “Gordon Comes Around”! Sincerely, The Author Art by @/StreakSmeargle docs.google.com/document/d/1...

During Wilbert’s visit to the Fat Controller’s Railway, he came to grief with a certain private owner wagon - the results of which were rather “earth-shattering”! Hope you all enjoy “A Loaded Lesson”! 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. :)

At last the whistle stop tour has ended, with Bloomer poking the bear once too often. No.2's story lives in infamy, but now hear straight from the Iron Horse's mouth how Stanley really ended up! Here's Dues Of A Duke; the final story of Fallible Engines #TTTE #RWS docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Sir Handel: Talyllyn Railway Edition Premiering on Friday 25th July at 1800pm BST! ONLY on the Talyllyn Railway’s YouTube channel 👉 youtu.be/3Z0hAbbLNzU?...

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?...

Today's my birthday, but I have a present for you all instead 😁 By popular demand, my Sodor railway art is now available in postcard form! Each design has a different rear style, inspired by various eras of vintage railway postcards! #TheRailwaySeries #PostcardDesign

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!

Hello hello hello! Thought I’d give a quick update to let you all know I am still here, just quietly at work on things in the background! I have lots of stories to share, but they’re part of larger narratives that need to be finished. I’ll hopefully have some substantial things to share soon!

I need to purchase the Railway Series annuals at some point. I’ve NEVER seen this illustration before - it is GORGEOUS.

Surprise! Another new model I made out of nowhere! This was a bit of a risky move, given the last time I tried to make a 4-4-2 engine, but here is Ronald the Loaned Atlantic! (aka, @theburiedtruck.bsky.social's take on the green engine from Edward's Day Out)

I assure you, no one is ready for what Suddery Station Master is cooking.

BEHOLD youtu.be/Oicf_dKn4Ug?...

A dangerous train, made tame in the rain.

This was the first time I'd had the chance to sit down and read one of Buried Trucks' stories word by word, instead of just watching adaptations, and it was wonderful. Written so eloquently and really does make Emily fit the Railway series like gleaming vintage glove.

I wrote this story goodness knows how long ago, and originally thought it would lead to more, but it has remained a standalone tale. This is my attempt at making Emily work in the Railway Series - hope you enjoy! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Looking back on some of my older stories, it’s painful to see the English Major in me winning out over the Mindful Writer. Like, what do you MEAN I made Percy say “pestilent”? Stupid green idiot hasn’t got a CLUE what that means.

I'm posting here again to cheer everyone up. To take your minds off things, here is my next railway series-style book. Once more, it is free to adapt, as long as credit is given. Thanks, @theburiedtruck.bsky.social as usual, for looking it over for me. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Something that's never been done before... A Hullo Twins Remake Told by @maithwaiter.bsky.social youtu.be/OlnVmU2UjeY

This is why comments on art mean so much more to me than likes. Takes a half a second to tap a like button, but writing a comment, even something simple, shows you really care

I know I said I wouldn't post anymore on the situation, however I felt this might be necessary to share in regards to his trainz assets and their usage

CW/// Sexual content To say that I feel betrayed by someone I considered a friend feels wrong when I consider the flurry of emotions his wife and family must be feeling. My heart goes out to them. His poor kids.

* ( TTTE fandom ) * TW: child sexual exploitation and sexual abuse mention // * devestating to hear what crimes richard jordan (skarloey123) has done, hope that his family and other victims get to recover from the damage he has done * absolutely sickening, good that he's already been arrested

The moment that things like Edward's Siding at his station and terms like The Big Station and Thomas' Junction stopped being used was the day Thomas lost a little something I think.

Sorry if it took a bit, but here's my first railway series-style book! Tram Engine Rivals! This story is free to adapt, with credit given to me. I want to thank @theburiedtruck.bsky.social for reading this story over. I hope you'll enjoy it! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

A question for those who volunteer/work on railways: what is the most tedious aspect of track maintenance? Is there anything is particularly dreaded by the crews?

Hard to believe a story I wrote back in 2020 is finally coming to fruition - and narrated by the magnificent DCG12B no less!

Today's video is premiering slightly later than the norm, but I'm hoping it'll be worth the wait. In this video I'll be drawing new illustrations for the Three Railway Engines, expanding slightly on each story! youtu.be/acL4grjBcDg

Happy 80th Anniversary, everyone! To celebrate this momentous occasion, let's take a trip back in time to the founding of the North Western Railway, and regale some tales of its first two engines... I hope you all enjoy "The First Two Engines"! Happy reading! drive.google.com/drive/folder...
