He looked over at Thomas. He no longer felt proud of himself. Instead, he felt rather ashamed. "Poor little guy. Now I feel very bad for him." "I'll never be so rude and vindictive to him again." #ThomasAndFriends #TTTE #Trainz

A Rose Among Her Thorns

I think my best interaction with @southern3118.bsky.social was when he suddenly DM'd me at 2 am on Discord and started asking me about how the Lord Nelsons had 'high sided' tenders like a meth head trying to get his next fix. This man never asks about UK locos. It was surprising to say the least.

THE GANG IN THEIR FINAL FORM! So yeah, here's the 8 engines of the TDC! Note that all have chime whistles as per company standard. Also, 4 and 5 are basically the same, baring names, 4 is "Luna" and 5 is "Pippy"

First snippet of what's to come, anybody got a guess what this fine gentleman is?

Fun fact: Awdry never introduced a D11 into the Railway Series because he feared what the Sodor equivalent of ‘Bailie MacWheeble’ would be.

Happy New Year everyone! As a little treat, here's the titles for the rest of Season 1, with some screenshots to go with! (1/4)

True statement that often makes me feel terribly sad ashamed of the world we live in. 😪🙏

If I want to see something that Rupert Murdoch had wiped his arse with, I'd be his 7th wife, not buy this sh*t.

Can confirm. It's great and I still have it tucked away!

C&DR No.151 "Foxglove". Built and modified by Anstis Works for the purposes of the fledgling railway company. It arrived with an order of bogie'd tenders (pictured) to go behind the railway's first batch of 'Myth' locomotives. Foxglove would become the basis for LLW's 'Fable' class of 2-6-4Ts.

Business as usual at Pitkethley Junction, save for an unusual interloper! Almost evading the camera completely, then Haymarket resident No. 60098 ‘Spion Kop’ can just be seen heading an up express; possibly on a diversion…?

Man, Astro's so cool 😔

it's cold.

“Talking about your next visit already?” Thomas teased, as he pulled in. “Whatever would Baxter say?” “Probably a lot of things you can't say around a new-build.” Stepney laughed. “But you never know - I might try and bring him with next time.”

'ASTRAIOS' was rarely seen on passenger traffic, as they were thought to be too heavy to continue past Hardbrooke. Quarry trains were how it earned its keep, and on the rare chance they did take passengers, they would hand it over to another engine half-way. #L&P #OCs #leakbeck #portethwaite

Things are going great for “Shell on Wheels.” (That’s my way of saying it might come out when I said it would) A lot of awesome people contributed some terrific things this week. Thank you! I can’t wait to tell you more about them once the episode is released. #enterprisingengines

I have been very busy again... This time, we got ourselves something from the Northwest.

Pssst. Broken Wings is public again. :3

Going into December soon. Not sure if I'll have enough time to do any winter themed art, what with work etc, but here's a digital painting from a few years ago I'm still quite fond of. Ashington Colliery in the50s/60s.

Thought I'd show off a sprite that I made earlier today. Sprites © Cj-The-Creator, Princess-Muffins, tsDra90n (Midnight Express), BaconOverlord582, LewieLol, Swiftwin4ds, LocoSprites and myself. (Victoria: @miscmischief48.bsky.social )

Now....here's something I'm wondering.....seeing as she's probably my most iconic character.....what if I made this Thomas-style rendition of her free to the public? As in, free for AUs, fan stories, adaptations, different interpretations, etc. She's fairly malleable~

Posting a few of the art I was most proud of while working on the Victoria video~ Canon Victoria's render, the portraits of Erylish queens: Margaret III & Elspeth III, and the map of Eryland's railways.

Hello, I'm Makker! I draw things. Behold - My stuff!

Hmm...what could this be?

fs anyone wanted to know this is my Modern Express fleet currently they are in order of arrival

"Diane, I'm in the town of Knapford at a railway station to meet a 'Sir Topham Hatt'. I can tell that he runs a tight ship. The trains working on his railway are friendly and hardworking, and remind me of the crew back in Philadelphia very much. Remind me to research how to be 'really useful'."

"NO ONE BREAKS A DEAL WITH ME!!!!!!!"

if you were at the recent Bad Influence Film Fest, you may have noticed a fair few of my customs on the wooden table... including, my WR custom of Adams Radial Lady / Tasha!

The singularly driven axled locomotive numbered 12 by the small island that acquired her after it's disposal by the Great Northern Railway company :)

Bia, sporting a "makeover" to resemble her old self. Boiler Tests during her 1972 overhaul had Bia looking like her Woodstone Works appearance, with fresh green paint and her saddle tank awaiting attention. #L&P #OCs #Portethwaite

"At times I look back over a hundred years ago and wonder why my younger self thought quite vaguely of this railway. It wasn't because of how small it was. It was because I didn't value any of it yet. But since I do now- I know Sodor isn't just my home. It is my everything."

1916. Anstis Works 2-8-0 'Valencia', leaves its right of way after being struck down by a traction engine near Waiteside Castle. Being rented to the railway rather than sold to, the L&P quickly got rid of the engine, and it would end up being sent overseas. It's future unknown #L&P #OCs #waiteside

My name is Ross, and I'm a sprite artist and American passionate about British railway companies :}. Along with sprite art, I do Gmod Trainbuild. The last image includes a character from @southern3118.bsky.social and a logo by @jacobjinty.bsky.social
