A photo of me wearing Smogly - my toon wolf fursuit. I am stood on a train platform with an out-of-focus steam train partially shown behind me. I am wearing a brown wax jacket and a brightly coloured shemagh scarf. Around my neck is a stuffed toy snake.
Happy Autumnal #fursuitfriday.

A photo of me wearing Smogly - my partial toon wolf fursuit. I am stood on a Victorian railway platform looking directly at the camera. Behind me (to my right) are a couple of old red freight railway carriages.

A photo of me wearing Smogly - my toon wolf partial fursuit. I am sat at a table inside an old Victorian KWVR heritage railway carriage. To my right is a window. The passing scenery (outside) is blurred by the motion of the train.
It’s a pleasure to meet you. Do you travel this route often?

A photo taken outside the window of a Victorian KWVR heritage railway carriage - showing myself and Bucky, sat inside the carriage whilst wearing fursuit, and looking directly out the window from the other side at the camera.
Hop aboard.
We’ve got tea, scones, and merry making in ample supply.

A photo of me wearing Smogly - my toon wolf partial fursuit. I am stood beside a large steam locomotive. My right hand paw is pointing at an old Victorian British Railways logo - featuring a rampant lion inside a royal crown.
I argue that there is a direct correlation between the reduction in anthro characters in modern animated TV programmes, and the reduction in rampant lions used in British Railways steam locomotive heraldry.

A photo of me wearing Smogly - my toon wolf partial fursuit. I am stood in an old Victorian underpass connecting two railway platforms together. To my right is a stair case with iron railings and a “WAY OUT” sign. The underpass is covered in ceramic tiles - some covered in green moss.

A photo of me wearing Smogly - my toon wolf partial fursuit. I am stood on a railway platform at KWVR. Above my head is a railway station sign showing the name “KEIGHLEY”. Next to my right arm is an old Victorian advertisement for “RUSELLS’ MALTON STOUT”. Behind me is an old large Victorian brick building - likely to be an old factory.
Got to get myself some of that stout.

A photo of me wearing Smogly - my toon wolf partial fursuit. I am walking along a busy sheltered Victorian railway platform, accompanied by other fursuiters. To my right are old Victorian steam railway passenger carriages.

A young couple walking down a slope to the railway station platform at Keighley Railway Station. An old fashioned clock is fastened to a wooden panelled wall across the walkway and the young woman has her arm around the young man.

🚂 While exploring the Worth Valley, don’t miss a visit to Oakworth Station — the home of The Railway Children. Step back in time, walk the platform, and it’s perfectly fine to whisper “Daddy, my Daddy!” and grab a picture, as you follow in the film’s famous footsteps.
