Very happy with how this one turned out :)

Silas didnt mind returning the empties before "speeding" through with the directors carriage

Yesterday saw scenes from the 1950s recreated on our latest Photo CharTR - 'Wagons on the P/Way'. This photographic day was focused around the visits from the Territorial Army in the 1950s, where they helped the preservation society to relay the dilapidated trackwork of the time

First look at Lady Grange's model prop before it goes on set tomorrow for its first bit of filming for the test episode of Miniature Railway Adventures. Really, REALLY pleased on how this turned out.

"Thomas' Branch Line is important, and so is Edward's. They both bring in valuable traffic, but their track and bridges are not as strong as those on the Main."

what if i told you theres a harvey video in the works... 🎬

A couple of shots of the set during and after we filmed the diary insert. While none of the footage was useable, it did give me an idea on how to go about it next time around.

For nearly four decades, this show has survived through thick and thin. From nearly being forgotten and hidden away - to becoming a highly acclaimed cult series. Happy anniversary, TUGS. You've changed my life for the better and I cannot thank you enough for it. Here's to more years to come. #tugs

In 1953, No.4 'Edward Thomas' pulled a special train to commemorate the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II At our Anniversary Gala, we'll be recreating this train on Friday, the 15th May More about our 75 Gala 👉 www.talyllyn.co.uk/events/75th-... #HeartofGold 📸 TR Collection

The Island of Sodor is a magical place. Sadly, the gateway to it is an otherwise grim reality.

💜💙✨

Found ourselves on the Mid Sodor Heritage Railway

12 years later, and this scene from 'Duncan & the Grumpy Passenger' still resonates today.

So I heard poor Thomas came off the rails at the Nene Valley Railway a few days ago. I just couldn't help but make this.

"And were the passengers pleased with you?” “No. They were really cross that I was late.” “Oh, really? How interesting of them..." "It'd like to see *you* do better!" "I don't *have* to do better. What a stupid thing to say!" Words by @tardisrescue.bsky.social Route by me.

"What do you *mean* that movie was about *beavers*?! It didn't feature us at all??" "Well, it wasn't about rabbits, I can tell you that for free..." (Think about it 😉) Route by @thereallegothemano.bsky.social

So I've installed ReShade semi-recently. It's taken a lot of trial and error, but I think I'm getting the hang of it ☺️ Which do you think looks best here? Route by me!

I had a great big scene I wanted to render today, but my PC ate it and I ended up losing a lot of time on it. In any case I did manage to finish up James today, and I went back and updated some small coaches.

How have I just found out this is genuinely in a Thomas book - Sodor too has been terrorised by The Toad in the Hole in the Road... *dramatic chord* "Ribbit!"

Not long to go until my video for this week premieres! Today we're covering the topic of rolling stock characters introduced in the TV Series, and how they'd look in the Railway Series: youtu.be/AwJw6zYQn7k

Back in 2021 the design was a little different, and was more of a Thomas Wooden Railway idea than for BRIO. You can see the magnets here that hold the parts together, along with the special wagon to transport rails! I had a lot of fun with this scene. :3

A nice fan story written by @brightonterrier.bsky.social and brought to life by @tcfsjace.bsky.social ! Always a treat to see alt. histories for TVS characters. Especially with a RWS mindset 😎 youtu.be/jHdXN2cAe2E?...

This was well played on the part of Bo'ness Railway!

Before and After. How ten years have changed for this replica model of Reidpath Thomas. Still one of my favourite models in my collection

Pop Goes Old Ollie.

3 years on since we hosted the cinema premiere of TUGS: A Bigg Retrospective at Reading Biscuit Factory! Still a great event we pulled off!! This was certainly TUGS Day, not just for the fans, but for the members who were involved in the series’ production; the greatest reunion for them! (1/2)

The first ever written piece for TV I did, drafted back in July 2016. This was one of the many adventures I would write for the Pablo series and is among my favourites in the series. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Step back in time to the Era of Queen Victoria aboard the Victorian Train. Running on select Sundays throughout April & May, each Victorian Train day will be a unique experience with different combinations of rolling stock. Details on our website 👉 talyllyn.co.uk/events/victo...

So with the layout going to the show tomorrow, here's some new items of rolling stock which completes the passenger stock for the layout. The Enthusiast's Saloon train which makes its appearance in Sequence 3 of the running session. These will be hauled by Stepney and Oliver in turn.

Oliver looked – and there was Mavis, the Quarry Diesel. She buffered up to Oliver and pushed him carefully across the Yard to the other water column. Oliver was grateful. “Thank you very much!” “That’s alright. My name is Mavis. Who are you?” #ThomasAndFriends #TTTE #Trainz
