Mike found the passengers insufferable. They would act like he was an amusement rather then a "real" engine and many a time he would loose his patience. His temper would flair up, the boiler pressure grew & his safety valve would go off! #ttte #trainz

Gator enjoyed his time on sodor. It was a lot more relaxing then his work back home but he enjoyed still feeling really useful. #ttte

After Daisy had moved to the Harwick line she found herself more full then ever! Lots of passengers wanted to travel between the seaside village & the big station. She struggled on all season before the Fat Controller awarded her a second compartment to make her a proper DMU! #ttte

Ballast is a very important part of any railway. Because of this the Sodor Railway Repair was always busy checking the sleepers to make sure the ballast was in its proper place & safe for the engines to ride on. This could cause delays but the engines knew it was for their safety #ttte

The Refreshment Lady loved her mobile Tea shop. Whenever she wished to move on she would flag down a nearby engine who would gladly take her down the line to the next siding. The passengers loved it too as many stations on the line had nowhere to buy food & drink! #ttte

Gordon felt miserable. The day had started well but by the time he had gotten to Barrow-In-Furness he had developted a fault. An engine from the Other railway had to take him & his train home. He thought it was a great joke. "Never thought you Sodor engines would need our help!" #ttte

The Fat director stood infront of the newly bricked up tunnel. "Now we shall leave you there for always, and always, and always" but his words fell on deaf ears as no one but a nearby worker could hear him... #ttte

The post train is one of the most important trains, it must get through, regardless of weather. Percy normally took it but sometimes when there was too much for him to handle Thomas would be called upon to help. Normally he didn't mind but he hated running at night in the mist. #ttte #trainz

As Thomas awoke the world was on its side... as he came to his senses panic set in! "Bust my buffers! Help!" Thomas called as he smelt the smoke! Little did he know help was not far away... #ttte #trainz

The next day Percy was cheerfully chuffing through Misty valley when suddenly... #ttte #trainz

Edward always loved helping out on the mainline, it allowed him to see all his friends on Thomas' branchline. One day however Daisy was in a right state. "That silly balloonist! He flys much too low & seems to enjoy making us jump!" she complained. Edward had to agree. #ttte #trainz

As the summer months rolled back around the engines were starting to struggle. The fat controller promised them he would find help & soon he brought back a farmilar face. With a fresh engine & a somewhat better attatude, lorry 3 began helping with the good work.

Old slow coach would often remember the glory days when she and her sisters would run up and down the line. They were very luxurious coaches and the passengers all seem to love them. #ttte #trainz

Toby wasn't one to be spookied easily. As much as he enjoyed Halloween he knew it was all make believe. However when the points jammed and he had to stay at the scrapyards overnight the fog began to play tricks on him... #ttte #trainz

Gordon had broken down so Pip & Emma, the mainland express, were allowed to run through to Tidmouth. They had never been on Sodor before & Pip was enjoying herself. Emma however felt sad. "I wish we could run here more often" Little did she know what the future would bring... #ttte #trainz

A commission for @railwaysparrow.bsky.social of Peter Sam crossing the road at Abergynolwyn on the @talyllyn.co.uk Talyllyn railway! #TheRailwaySeries #RWSfanart

Decided to test out some new reshade settings. Normally I add to my pictures in post but this is raw from trainz. Would love to hear any feedback.

Train spotting at a quite branch line station on the new quarry diesel's first day. #ttte #trainz

As Rusty was doing maintenance work it happened. With a couth & a splutter the little diesel stopped. Black smoke bellowed from Rusty's engine & nothing the driver did would fix it. "The only comfort is you stopped by the block post, we can phone for help" he told Rusty. #ttte #trainz

* ( TTTE ) * steamies and diesels need to work together!

When the Thin Controller heard about the Talyllyn Railway celebrating its link to Sodor by painting a coach in blue he decided to return the favour! Ada was painted in a stunning red. Even Sir Handel was happy. He was too busy posing for photos to complain about "cattle trucks"

No one: Thumper in the S5 draft scripts:

In the summer lots of holiday makers would come to the Skarloey railway. All the engines liked to take them but Duke enjoyed it most of all. "It reminds me of the olden days" he would explain as the passengers would listen to tales of the Mid Sodor railway as they travelled. #ttte #trainz

Baking tracks to new desserts... #ttte

When Skarloey broke down he was moved to a shed out of the way & Rheneas was left to run the line alone. The coaches tried to cheer him up but with less & less passengers Rheneas felt the burden of reasonability deeply. Non the less he continued on for Skarloey & the passengers. #ttte #trainz

Ada, Jane & Mabel had gone to the works. Their boards were rotting & they were quite out of date. When they came back with their new roofs & panels Skarloey was waiting for them. "Come along dears, we are to take a special train!" They were most excited! #ttte #trainz

The other engines often teased Henry for his love of the forest but he didn't care as he knew they got it wrong. It wasn't the trees he was fond of but the wildlife that lived around them. He would often take the local trains as they allowed him to see see the animals. #ttte #trainz

"This is Dick Marriot of Sodor Island News reporting live from Tidmouth railyard where we have received news of some unusual going on! As you can see there has been the most dreadful accident! Here's how it all began..." #ttte #trainz

Still can't get over how they just added ladders when Sidney was introduced in CGI, kinda prefer his OG look. #ttte

Flying Scotsman was getting old & he found the mainline events starting to take their toll. "Its alright" said the owner kindly "A diesel can take you between events to let you rest your wheels" At first he wasn't sure about the idea but soon found himself sleeping soundly. #ttte

As Edward ran ahead with the train Locke stayed at the back, as brakevans often do, and kept an eye on the trucks as they trundled down the mainline. If ever one tried to play a trick he's ring out his little bell & Edward would promptly bump them to make them settle down.

Glynn was very proud to be chosen to take the visitors on a vintage tour of his old branchline. The observation coaches were both heavy but knowing the visitors were enjoying the views gave him the strength to keep going. #ttte #trainz

37683 was always put in a foul mood by the snow. It caused delays up & down the mainline. The trucks, as trucks often do, teased her dreadfully. "Lousy good for nothing termite infested planks of wood!" she would snarl "Shut it or I'll leave you out here to freeze!"

The little engines of the Arlesdale Railway are often called Toy trains but no matter the weather they prove time and time again to be just as useful as the bigger engines!

Guys you won't believe what they just saw...

The rain made shunting in the yard miserable for Arthur. Normally he enjoyed working at the docks but on days like this the rain would pitter patter down onto the water and block his view of the fish. It made him most upset. #ttte #trainz

While Toby was away being mended the Fat Controller brought another tram to help with the goods work. "They think these trucks are too heavy for me" Leah laughed as she remembered Percy's warning. "I'll show them how strong a tram can be! They won't even want their Toby back!" #ttte #trainz

TONIGHT at 6pm BST - The classic story from 'Four Little Engines' as you've NEVER seen it before! 'Sir Handel' presented in LIVE ACTION with narration by the Rev. W. Awdry himself, filmed at the Talyllyn Railway - where it all really happened. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z0h...

No bluesky I will not be verifying my age just to access DMs. As far as I know this is UK government meddling so if your not in the UK you should be fine but if friends in the UK stop replying on bluesky to you this is why.

Everyone congratulate them.

Long day of travel tomorrow as I head down for Awdry Ex! I’ll be there on Saterday & Sunday, if you see me feel free to say hello! (Pick from my 2023 Talyllyn/Ffestiniog trip!)

AWDRY EXTRAVAGANZA SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT We've had a surprise arrival from the Island of Sodor today ahead of the weekend's festivities! George the Steam Roller will be at Tywyn Wharf across the event, though we're not sure he's as enthused as we are for him to be here...!

Bill & Ben the twins work together all day long down by the Harbour on Edwards branchline, delivering loads of china clay for the big boats to take to far away places. #ttte #trainz

160 YEARS ON Today in 1865 the Talyllyn Railway received its Act of Parliament and officially opened! And now, many years later, day 1 of our Anything Goes Gala has come to an end with a stunning quadruple header - with more to come tomorrow!!

When Bert came home after his overhaul Rex & Mike thought it was a great joke. "Look at him with his tall cab" Rex winked. "Who does he think he is? Silly old Bert will run into bridges now!" Mike teased. They meant no harm but soon Bert grew cross... #ttte

As the men waited for his fire to go out Thomas sat alone in the works shed. It was lonely & thomas had no one to talk to but the spare parts on the trucks beside him. Non of the others looked near, they all felt a sense of dread around the works shed that no one could name. #ttte #trainz

Henry appreciated the look of the autumn on his forest, but the poor engine didn't much mind for the fog. Rather than a lush, calming wood, Henry's forest at night was dark and misty. "Stupid fog" He said, trying to act calm. But he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild @nosette.bsky.social
