what happened yesterday was pretty upsetting.

i don’t really care about my account being gone — but messing with magic railroad, a project that’s so personal to me, is crossing a line.

the project is still happening, and i hope we get the account back — because there is a LOT to talk about. ❤️

I started off with a simple set and then began adding extra details within the cameras frame. I got asked what I used in terms of lighting. So the lighting in the video is actually the raw camera footage, no post work. I achieved it by using my living room light and bedroom lamp.

MAKING OF EDWARD

Edward is a model I never felt happy with when I made him back in 2023. In December of 2024 I repainted him to match Thomas’ new colour scheme. Edward also gained new screwlink couplings. Once both models were complete it was time to work on the set.

MAKING OF THOMAS

For this video I wanted Thomas to look really bashed up and broken. So I found an old model and repainted it. I used a simple silver pen for the scratches. I then did a few test shots on an old set and realised Thomas wasn’t the only one in need of a tune up.

I revisited the idea in early November of 2024 and set about working on the script with my good friends
@isaiahoo9234.bsky.social and @shuntingyardjoe.bsky.social. We wrote out a few different ideas and eventually settled on the idea to focus only on Thomas' accident.

So the original idea dates back all the way to December of 2023 when I was filming "A Ffarquhar Christmas". This initial version was a completely different story, which consisted of Henry also being involved in an accident. I never did anything with it after filming a few scenes.

Thomas and James were arguing in the sheds when a new diesel rolled up. "Steam engines," said the diesel, "Are cowardly, cranky, worn-out hunks of metal who couldn't hurt a fly." "No we're not," retorted James. Thomas left to find Annie and Clarabel.
