Happy #InternationalWomensDay!
Women didn't work maintaining Britain's railways until World War 2, right?
WRONG!

Dear Friends,
Henry has been feeling glum. The other engines were teasing him for his crash with the Flying Kipper.
To cheer Henry up I decided to make him the focus of my newest poster, to show everyone how strong and capable he really is.
Yours,
The Artist

Welp, I did it again...I decided to give these stories yet another rewrite. And ended up adding several new ones at the same time!
So now -- hopefully -- I feel more confident with this latest batch. Let me know what you think 🙂
The game will feature narration from Mark Moraghan, one of the show’s original narrators as well as realistic routes including Thomas’ branch line, Knapford Harbour and more. https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2026/03/release-date-confirmed-for-new-thomas-the-tank-engine-adventure-game.html

Victor helping Peter Sam after he ran out of coal
On this day in 2012 "Don't Bother Victor" premiered
This marked Victor's first appearance without the Steamworks or Kevin. This also marked Peter Sams final leading role
Happy 14th anniversary!
We're keen to see Jerome finish this, so much so we've discussed writing a new additional story especially for the adaptation as an exclusive extra for him.
The reinterpretation of the original theme from 2008 is awesome btw, and we cannot wait to hear more soon.
As per the director @thegermanofsodor.bsky.social, I have been given permission to start posting the remaster work that Kristian and I did for @sifansite.bsky.social's Mid Sodor Engine visual adaptation. And I'm starting with Kristian's take on Stanley's theme!

Thomas is getting ready for his first exhibition for this year. After doing his test runs with Annie and Clarabel, he retires for the night ready for another day to dawn.
Dear friends,
We’re all aware that Godred met an early end - but did you know a story survives of his attempts to “help” with the Mountain Railway’s construction? You soon will - I hope you enjoy “Godred’s Guidance”!
Sincerely,

Sir Handel, Rusty & Fred, will be back in Tywyn on the 18th & 19th July 2026.
This event will be smaller in scale, but promises to engage fans young and old with activities to enjoy – and of course, plenty of trains to catch!
More information coming soon!
It's a horrible feeling when you lose them, Nate. We lost our eldest dog in December, and miss him like nothing else for the genuine love and fun he brought to our lives. All the best to you and your family.

I like model railways.
It's about time I made a model railway.
Coming soon from @guiguiba13.bsky.social 😎

What a load of cool stuff today… or so I thought- 🤭💙
Here's a close up of the cement mixer you can see in the background (from Beverly Hills Cop II).
What do we call him?
Peter Sam stands at the head of the train. This year I swear I will build a layout to run these on.
Carriage no. 1 “Agnes”, made from a Westcliff Works 3D print. No 2 and 3 (Ruth and Jemima) are made from the same print.
Carriage no. 5 “Lucy” is built from a Meridian Models kit. I bought the kit in 2015 along with several other identical ones, but after building I had no idea what to do with them. The decision to model the Skarloey Railway was long overdue. Also she’s the only carriage of the set to have passengers fitted.
Brake van no. 4 “Beatrice” was also built from a Meridian Models kit. I had planned to fit a guard on the balcony but the one I picked out didn’t fit.
One of my long term projects is nearing completion and has reached a point where I can share them; a complete set of Skarloey Railway carriages.
Still need to fit passengers and couplings but I’m so happy with how these turned out.
