Recreated Illustration from "Home At Last", where Skarloey is going to rescue Duncan from a partially collapsed tunnel.

Recreated Illustration from "Peter Sam and the Refreshment Lady", where Peter Sam is noticing the Refreshment Lady shouting at him from the platform.

Much thanks to @gianoart06-tf2016.bsky.social for letting me participate in his #RWS80 collab! I was just jamming to the music the whole time and seeing everyone's wonderful entries!

Happy New Year, everyone! And Happy 80th, Thomas!

Decided to go back and redo this scan by @sleeperagent1.bsky.social by adjusting the faded colours - from reds to neutrals. And using neutrals it turned out really good. The first one to be done in Affinity Photo :D

As Payne did add a signal gantry close to the station, he didn't include the platform starters for an early 1925 Vicarstown terminus.

“Down the mine, is he?” laughed Gordon, “What a joke!”

My belated contribution to the #rws80 celebration. As the pilot was released too, I thought a 2 in 1 tribute was needed.

Honestly, very happy how this one turned out💛

In-all, overjoyed with the results, and happy to complete the steam engine fleet (sort of). Cliche to say, but this may be another favorite in the collection.

Thanks to KnucklesSCC for the bodyshells as always!

Stay tuned, and Happy 80th Anniversary!! 🎉

Thomas takes on water at Elsbridge station. James is on the opposite line, rattling through with a goods train.

Here's my entry for the #RWS80thCollab! I was assigned Book 4 - Tank Engine Thomas Again, and so I decided to illustrate the passage of text that mentions James on Thomas' Branch line during Thomas' race with Bertie.

Here's my entry for our #RWS80thCollab to celebrate; I was assigned RWS book #11, Percy the Small Engine.

I thought it would be fun to depict Duck in the BR black livery he canonically arrived in 😁

Thomas may not have started the Legacy overall, but he definitely introduced a lot of us to the railway series and keeps it going in a different medium.

“Once upon a time, there was a little engine called Edward”… little did readers in 1945 know how much that one sentence from the opening of the Three Railway Engines would leave its mark in history

Henry has come a long way since hiding in that tunnel. From steaming troubles, to a total rebuild, he still proves to be a mainstay on the North western

Gordon would arguably have the most impactful journey throughout the book series. Starting as young and boastful, he ended his journey retiring from express runs in 2011 by the more modern high speed train. Not that it stops him of course. He may no longer be the fastest engine on Sodor, but he can still give many visitors a run for their money.

North Western Railway numbers 1 - 4.

Drew these up earlier in the year in preparation for the 80th anniversary. Hoping to do more once the celebration starts 💛
