Made these Photoshop edits last year for a bit of fun.

So a random thought popped into my head: 98462 or 87546 as a Southern Railway N Class.

Saw Flying Scotsman at Birmingham Moor Street today.

Happy pancake day

Here's an oldie. 2016 when Flying Scotsman visited the Severn Valley Railway. Good Times.

Here’s a little something for @domthehunslet.bsky.social

Some concepts showing one of Quentin's early designs. This depicts him with a design similar to a GER J69 before changing him to the freelance 'Gennie' loco we see in his debute story. Plus, a small 0-4-0 with a superiority complex is more funny when you think about it.

Big update: The room where I film in (Which is also my bedroom) is being rearranged. Ever since i got the tables where 'everything' is filmed on it's been very cramped and has limited space. (1/3)

Wishing the voice of Mr Harris and the narrator of 'Steam Railway Stories' @jonathanasiamah.bsky.social a happy birthday 🎂 🎉🎈

Taken from University in 2017. Some people from Aardman Animations came in that day and brought along two props from Shaun the Sheep.

I have had Hornby D261 since I believe 2014. I got him from a collector's store in my home town which sadly closed in 2020. (You can probably guess why). True D261 is not a class 40 but I'm more than happy to have him. And yes, I plan to modify him with silver buffers.

docs.google.com/document/d/1... Dear friends, I'm sure you're familiar with Gordon the Big Engine and his many hijinks, but have you ever wondered how or why he has square buffers? This story will explain, Sincerely, The Author Story is free to adapt to those wondering.

If you see this, post a character that starts with G

Happy Birthday to the voice of Charles Hendrick @danielalsop.bsky.social 🎂🎉🎈

"My name was Tobias, Toby for short." Toby is now complete. Weathered his cow catchers and even his side plates and he now has lamp irons atop his cab.

Updating Tobi... I mean Toby. Taken off his lamps so they can be replaced with lamp irons. Repainted his side plates in a slightly lighter blue. His cow catchers were also blue but are now silver. I'll most likely weather them to bring down the shine.

I don't know about you, but I'm loving this.

Today was my granddad's funeral. We've just come back from the wake and we're doing all right. Thank you for your condolences. 💙

Throwback to when I was editing my 7th anniversary video. In this case I was colour correcting the footage as I don't like the natural bedroom light. Still serves its purpose as evening and dawn lighting. But natural daylight lighting... no.

There was one thing that does confuse me about Diesel 10 as a kid: How does Pinchy work? In Magic Railroad I think it has a mind of it's own. But in the show itself, is it the same case or is there someone inside operating it?

Fun fact about the character in my university short film:

Concept for a potential snow themed 'Steam Railway Stories' episode. I've had this idea for a while. Only thing holding this back is how to do the snow. I would use Woodland Scenics snow but I've heard if you get it in the engine's motor that's it.

Time for the most hottest take question: Does Dom the Hunslet Engine work better in the 'Steam Railway Stories' universe or the Thomas universe? I would do a poll, but it’s more interesting and in depth to hear your answers.

During the process I accidentally broke the buffer while taking the original hook and loop couplings off. Whoops. But managed to fix it and now the Spiteful Brakevan has 3 link chain couplings so I can now call this model finished.

Storm Goretti is upon us. Stay safe and warm.

Would anyway be interested in a AU model showcase video?

FUN FACT: In Quentin's flashback, you can see him pulling Annie and Clarabel. In my head canon they were coaches for the TK&E and after it closed they be used on local trains or just left in the yard and then be reallocated to the newly named Ffarqhuar Branch Line.

Time for the biggest fun fact: 'Entitled Engine' was originally planned to be a 'Steam Railway Stories' episode. It was originally about one character being tricked by another which then causes things to go down hill big time. I'll say no more on that.

Something for fun: If Dom was painted up to look like Thomas, how do you think he would react?

I've posted this on my other socials but not here until now. My ideal/future model railway layout.

FUN FACT: Originally the trucks that Quentin pushes to the tip were going to be regular 7 plank wagons. But were then changed to hopper wagons which seem to be more fitting.

Snow this early was not on my 2026 bingo card.

New years message:

FUN FACT: 'Entitled Engine' was originally going to have a post credits scene that would've been based on this particular scene from 'Trouble in The Shed' which also (and obviously) foreshadowed a certain character's introduction. But I forgot to film the footage for it. Whoops.

FUN FACT: The coal mine in 'Entitled Engine' was loosely based off the coal mine seen in season 5 as depicted in its concept art but took some creative liberties like the track that leads to the tip.

'Entitled Engine' has reached 3K views. So I might as well share the inspiration for this story.

Here's one of my Christmas presents: A Sudotack Condenser Microphone. I had been meaning to upgrade a lot of my equipment and the microphone was definitely one of them.

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🎁🎅

"There was a brakevan in the yard, that had taken a dislike to Douglas." My take on the Spiteful Brake Van. Made using a Tri-ang 20 ton N E brake van with the E scratched off and replaced with a W. And the face from Bachmann's own variant. Still needs 3 link chain couplings.

I'm very tempted to make a custom model of Thomas's 'Adventures of Thomas' look. Should I?

FUN FACT: The final shot of Gordon before the credits roll (Left) was done as a recreation to the shot of him in 'Trouble in The Shed'. (Right) Yep, 'Entitled Engine' takes place during the events of both 'Tenders and Turntables' and 'Trouble in The Shed'.

FUN FACT: Two Eversleigh coal wagons make an appearance in 'Entitled Engine'. The 7 plank one is just a kit from Parkside. While the 5 plank one is from Rapido's custom wagon service.

Fun fact: 98462 and 87456 are briefly mentioned and there was some dialogue from Henry related to them that was cut in the final edit.

How Quentin came to be:

Many of you have asked me: What’s Quentin's basis? Quentin's model is a 3D printed bodyshell by @doublem-models.bsky.social that I purchased from his Etsy store. The model was labled as a Side Tank 'Gennie' Locomotive and designed to fit on a Hornby 0-4-0 chassis.

Thank you so much for all the feedback on 'Entitled Engine'. At the time of posting this the video stands at 2,396 views. I'm really happy that you're enjoying the 'Dom the Hunslet Engine' saga so far. It has been my favourite project to work on so far.

m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vipf... PLOT: Dom is in need of a change of scene, so the Fat Controller sends him to work at the coal mines. At first Dom enjoys working there, until he meets the mine's engine.

New video is now in editing. Hope to have it out this weekend. And hey, Dom has a different expression this time. Also to those wondering, the red engine is not Sadie.

Here we go.
