Those Season 5 drafts of Thomas were wild fanfiction stories! In a fun way!

Especially the one about James & Super Ed. It’s a nutty story about James, the coal tipper and the electric diesel who goes at mach speed.

75 Years Ago TODAY the Talyllyn Railway Preservation Society was formed. Following this, on the 14th May 1951 the TRPS ran their first train kick starting the global railway preservation movement as the World’s First Preserved Railway.

She also had detective skills too by finding some clues. Just like an actual dog who sniffs around on the ground to find some clues.

Post a female character you love.

Fern Walters from Arthur.

She’s smart, she’s inspirational, she’s sweet, she tells dark & scary stories, and everybody loves to have an adorable puppy dog.

Celebrating 41 Years of Thomas and Friends! When I was a child I was fascinated by Thomas the Tank Engine which started a years long interest in trains and anthropomorphic characters. The lessons and stories that I absorbed will stay with me forever.

I’ve been to Toronto years ago prior to the Covid pandemic, and it was a fun city!

The TATMR Allcroft Cut is going to be SO EXCITING!!! I’d just recently watched Carty’s stream about the never-before-seen behind the scenes footage of TATMR! It looked so bizarre to see that it felt like it was a fever dream!

But I’m glad to see more b roll footage of the model sets!

These days, whenever I revisit a movie or tv show that is considered to be objectively bad, I don’t express my unhealthy hatred towards it like I used to in my teenage years.

Instead, I would just joke about how bad something really is for my own personal laughs. It’s better than aggressive hate.

I love how this movie gave birth to one of the funniest OOC clips ever.
