Filming has started on #STMY Manx Island Rescue. These first four screenshots are from the opening montage. #TTTE.

Six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, a short stumpy boiler, and a short stumpy dome. 💙✨ tee.pub/lic/3H7iexSP... #art #artist #digitalart #fanart #cuteart #artshop #ttte #thomas #rws #therailwayseries #thomasthetankengine #thomasandfriends

I've decided to make Manx Island Rescue as a special, before Norramby Engines. It works better for the story that way. So with that in mind, I've updated my models of Wendy and Lucy. #STMY #TTTE

As I said on Discord (on behalf of my Mod team): "We are disappointed and disgusted by his actions. Our thoughts are with his victims, and we hope they are able to find closure." All the models I've made from his meshes have been deleted. I'll remake them from scratch when needed.

Happy 80th anniversary to the Railway Series! 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 😁 #TheRailwaySeries #RWS80

Okay. From now on, any comments asking me for the old 2D-faced models, on any platform, will be marked as spam. They are not coming back. I'm getting sick of people asking for them. #TTTE #STMY

In honour of the 80th anniversary of the Railway Series tomorrow, I'm releasing my Railway Series-style model of Terence the Tractor. He was the first non-railway character introduced in the books, in 'Tank Engine Thomas Again.' You'll find him on the non-rail vehicles section of my website. #TTTE

Following a bit of reworking, the next #STMY mini-series will be Norramby Engines. This will include the planned Manx Island Rescue special, broken down into a two-parter. #TTTE

#TTTE Does anyone know where I can get a recent Trevor model for Trainz? The one I've got is from 2012.

On a different note, I've run into what could be called 'Producer's Block' for #STMY Harbour Engines. In order to alleviate this, I'll be bringing another mini-series forward. Still trying to figure out which one, as most of them are built off elements introduced in Harbour Engines.

Hi all. I'm aware it's a while between each mini-series. As such, there's an idea I've been considering. 'Short Trips', which would be shorter #STMY episodes. More slice-of-life, and about 5-6 minutes long. Unlike the mini-series', I would be willing to consider suggestions for Short Trips.

#STMY trivia. There's an operating rule that trains are to be 10 tons under the ruling load of the locomotive pulling them. This is to account for the trucks playing tricks on the engines.

Question for folks who do written Thomas & Friends fan stories - on which platform do you publish them?

Here we go. The final set of screenshots for 'Fast Goods'. The last two may look a little familiar 😉. #STMY #TTTE

Someone who'll be showing up in Molly's mini-series. Probably not how you'd expect, though. #STMY #TTTE

Some more shots from #STMY 'Harbour Engines'. #TTTE.

More shots from the set of #STMY 'Fast Goods', which is part 1 of Harbour Engines.

FFS, I am still getting people accusing me of ripping Victor Tanzig's intro off when they see 'Last Straw'. Not only is it the TUGS theme, but Last Straw went up BEFORE Victor started using that intro. Is it really too much to expect people to think for 30 seconds?

Neil Crone's response to Britt's passing. really heartwarming stuff 🥹 #thomasandfriends #ttte

Following my tribute video to Britt Allcroft, I've released the model of Lady I made for it. You'll find her in the 'what if' section of my website. wildnorwester.wixsite.com/wnw2019/what...

I've just uploaded a new video, a Tribute to Britt Allcroft. youtu.be/AoAHEVzSFo4?...

Hi all. I've just released some LMS coaches on my website, as a Christmas release (wildnorwester.wixsite.com/wnw2019/stan...). These are a collab between myself and Edward2Fan47. Merry Christmas everyone! #STMY #TTTE

The new engine cast a doubtful look at the coaches. "They're not what I'm used to. But I suppose they'll do." #STMY #Trainz

Some more shots from the #STMY set. I'm onto page 5 of a 13-page script, so about 1/3 of the way through filming. I will mention that the last three of these screenshots are from a montage.
