Are we back? Like for real?

Happy Halloween everyone! Writing has been slow due to college, but I hope to have something out by year's end. In the meantime, have this pumpkin in these trying times. Stay safe and have a good one!

I present, Petra the Canadian Engine Made by the lovely @codysrailway.bsky.social

My take on Lady from Thomas & the Magic Railroad. I wanted to try to keep her proportions and shape language the same, but detail her as a realistic steam locomotive. #ttte #tatmr #train #trains

Sodorgust Day 14 - Nature “Look there, Timothy! Look! Deer! We don’t see many of those down here! I wonder what they’re doing here?" “Yes, Marion. That’s nice,” panted the little oil-burner, more concerned with keeping the bumbling steam shovel moving up the steep incline. #Sodorgust

Sodorgust Day 13 - Exploit “Wait until Edward here’s about this one,” chortled Henry, feeling the train between the two diesels and their trains. #Sodorgust

Sodorgust Day 12 - Coal James grumbled endlessly as he found the trucks. He couldn't understand what was so "special" about this coal, or why only Henry could have it. "I'm bringing him this filthy lot. Surely I deserve a taste." The trucks groaned. It was going to be a long trip. #Sodorgust

Sodorgust Day 11 - Vanity James wasn’t the most self-aware engine, especially when it came to others confusing his pride for vanity. But after speaking to the new diesel at the junction only once, he figured an apology to the other engines was in order. #Sodorgust

Sodorgust Day 10 - Shed “What a small shed!” grumbled Sir Handle. “This won’t do at all!” “I think it’s nice,” said Peter Sam. “Huh! What’s that rubbish?” #Sodorgust

Sodorgust Day 9 - Adventure And so, with ramshackle sideplates cobbled together, Bill and Ben were put to work at the quarry with Mavis. They loved travelling through town and seeing new faces. They missed their home, but this new adventure, they decided, might be worthwhile after all. #Sodorgust

Feeling warmed with emotions after Holly and I finally got married, and to have celebrated it with so many people we love. 🤍 Thank you all for your well wishes, and ESPECIALLY to everyone who helped us on the day... 🚂 ...because you can bet that trains were involved. 🧵

Sodorgust Day 8 - Nervous Molly was already nervous about making a good first impression on the other engines. But after a rude remark from Emily about her pulling the “empties”, she had all but confirmed her woes. #Sodorgust

"DO I LOOK LIKE I AM ALRIGHT TO YOU MIDLANDER!" Recreated a scene from my fav Audio based series NAS By @colloquial-kayak.bsky.social and DaneTank656 The Engines don't have their accurate numbers but Louise has her paint.. SO yea (Untag Kayak if u comment) #NAS #NewtonAbbotSaga #Recreation

Sodorgust Day 7 - Post At night, when the other engines are tucked in their sheds, you can still hear the faraway call of an engine’s whistle and the clickety-clack of train wheels turning. This is the sound of the post train. #Sodorgust

Sodorgust Day 6 - Return Dudley was soon coupled to a long line of wagons. Bear and Donald watched as he stormed away with much hooshing and huffing. Into the setting sun, he puffed and disappeared on the horizon. #Sodorgust

Sodorgust Day 5 - Overworked Percy and Toby were rushed off their wheels. The newly-renovated harbour meant that more ships were coming in, and more stone was being sent out. The two had to work long into the evening and barely had a chance to rest. #Sodorgust

Sodorgust Day 4 - Rescue The wind howled and the rain pelted down. But no matter the stakes, Barry struggled on through the storm, finding his courage with each turn of his wheels. “Trains must get through,” he panted, “come rain or shine!” #Sodorgust

#Sodorgust Day 4 - Rescue Percy quickly heaved with all his might as rain pelted his boiler, it was now tug of war between him and angry sea that threatened to take ship and he couldn’t fail to rescue the sailors.

Sodorgust Day 3 - Sibling “You’d like our Bluebell and Primrose. They’re twins, and as like two peas. They were pleased when our Controller gave them names. Some say he was wrong to do it; it certainly made them cocky!” #Sodorgust

Sodorgust Day 2 - Freight Murdoch was enjoying his new life on Sodor. The people were friendlier, and the trains were shorter. Most importantly, it was much quieter than the mainland. #Sodorgust

Sodorgust Day 1 - Afternoon After finishing his afternoon run, BoCo often looked forward to a snooze in the sheds. Today, however, Brendam was a very poor choice indeed. . . #Sodorgust

Sodorgust, a month long challenge open to everyone in the TTTE community, is back and now on Bluesky! Below are 31 prompts, one for each day in August, that you can all base a photo, screenshot or artwork off! Feel free to use toys, video games or pens, just has to be Thomas related! #Sodorgust

Genuinely tweaking that I live a whole ocean away from the UK and can't experience one of, if not, the greatest RWS Events. Best wishes to all who are able to attend! Just look at them! My boys!

With Pride Month coming to a close, I think it's important that we remember something. Even with the next few years seeming rather bleak, they can never take away who you are. Never let them break your spirit, and know that someone out there loves you for who you are. Keep going. 🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈

Almost the end of Pride Month so qUEER THOMAS FANS LEMMIE HEAR YALL MAKE SOME NOISE 🗣🗣🏳️‍🌈 SHOW WHATCHA DO!!! 🏳️‍🌈✨️✨️🏳️‍🌈✨️🏳️‍🌈✨️🏳️‍🌈✨️✨️💃💅🏳️‍🌈✨️

Oh, wow, quite a few new people appeared along for this ride. So, just to make things clear. All are welcome here. Even more, we must all fight for equality, inclusion, and a celebration of humanity as a whole. Be an advocate for joy, not hate. Hugs, all.

Saying Goodbye to Hawai'i. The ship draws slowly out of the harbour with a ragtag group of passengers on board; a couple of cars, a steam engine, a Scotsman and a Hawaiian, the latter of whom knows she might never see her homeland again. #art #digitalart #originalcharacters #echoesaythglen

The second book of the "New" Railway Series is here: New Railway Engines. Credit goes to the talented @colloquial-kayak.bsky.social for the cover art; they've done a fantastic job. I hope you enjoy, and as always, Happy Pride Month! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Emily but if she was in the Railway Series...

Been thinking about Duck and his autistic bf "Goose" again (he named him).

Happy Pride, everyone! Regardless of what happens in today's world, just remember that you always have the right to express the truest version of yourself, no matter what. And if anyone tries to tell you otherwise, don't forget - the first Pride was a riot.

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month to all, and to all a good night! 🏳️‍🌈

Please fucking LISTEN to us this time DO NOT play the new game DO NOT stream the new show DO NOT buy her products No more excuses No more "boo hoo people are being sooo mean guuuys" 😢 You say you love your trans friends? This is the easiest way to put your money where your goddamn mouth is.

TRANS PEOPLE DESERVE TO PROSPER TRANS PEOPLE DESERVE TO LOVE TRANS PEOPLE DESERVE TO MAKE MISTAKES AND BE FORGIVEN TRANS PEOPLE DESERVE EQUALITY JUST SAYING THEY SHOULD EXIST IS WEAK IN 2025. THEY DESERVE TO HAVE THE FULL SPECTRUM THAT LIFE OFFERS PASS IT THE FUCK ON!!! 🩵🩵🩷🩷🤍🤍🩷🩷🩵🩵 🩵🩵🩷🩷🤍🤍🩷🩷🩵🩵

PREACH.

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...

In honour of the 80th Anniversary of The Railway Series, I’d like to announce a project I’ve been working on for months. Introducing ‘The “New” Railway Series’. The first of these stories is based on a concept from the Unlucky Tug over on Twitter. I hope you enjoy! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I want a drama series in the style of "The Crown", but it's just the life and times of each Fat Controller and their respective upbringings. I want this. I'll make this if I have to.

I have plans I cannot share with you all, but they maybe might almost certainly have something to do with these blorbos.

Premiering very soon! In this video I draw some pictures of the Wellsworth and Suddery Railway's engine fleet! youtu.be/xDZFdJEwRRw?...

Happy Saint Patrick's Day, the day where we celebrate all things green

How would people feel about me writing and posting a collection of Railway Series stories as a sort of continuation of Awdry's work? I think it might be fun to try my hand at it.

this is your regularly scheduled reminder to respect artists you commission. not only does art take time, but life gets in the way sometimes!! please lend us some grace if things don't go as expected. after all, we do what we can to get your requests done! <3

The final vote: 51-45, with 4 people absent. CLOTURE FAILS, A CONGRESSIONAL SPORTS BAN WILL NOT HAPPEN. Democrats hold firm, not a single dem voted for cloture. MAJOR victory for everyone who called in today and this week in support of trans people.
