Another view of the upcoming 2026 Lion Cub Rescue Thomas variant. His eyes are pointing upwards and off to his left.

So some new images of that one upcoming 2026 motorized Thomas variant has been found. This is the Thomas that is going to be included in that Lion Cub Rescue set. I'm kinda indifferent about it but it could've been worse. I do like how his eyes are pointing in a different direction though

Old photo: Built for the line in 1866, locomotive No.2, Dolgoch, is still in service on the Talyllyn Railway, Gwynedd.

Since an overhaul in 2023, the 'Old Lady' has been sporting her more traditional dark green livery.

On this day back in March 3rd 2015, The Adventure Begins was released on DVD exclusively from Walmart! Man it seems like only yesterday that we get a CGI version of Thomas’ first days on Sodor in the style of The Railway Series. Happy 11th Anniversary to The Adventure Begins! πŸ’™πŸš‚πŸ“–

A 3rd kit joins the shop this week! An old kit in a new form, this little O&K style loco. The 1st version was made for the minitrix 060 chassis. Now, this new version replaces that for (who guessed) the ever classic Kato 109! πŸ˜‚πŸ‘

Here's another AU CGI US cast idea (Toronto-wise) - Scott McCord as Bill & Ben - there's nothing else to say other than it came from after hearing his McGee voice from a clip of Camp Lakebottom and I thought it'd fit both young characters.

For we have a picture of Metal Toad for the 2026 series. Have to say - the model doesn't look half bad. Only the face size is very confusing and the number is changed from 56831 to 50421.

A couple of semaphore signals - numbered IE26 and IE28 - just beyond the station at Inverurie. The green paint on the bases marks them for removal, work beginning the day this photo was taken.
