Alrighty, this should be fun! We're going to work our way backwards from "newest" to "oldest", posted weekly in the run-up to Christmas 🎄
So we're starting off with stories set in the CGI era. Happy reading!

The guys at the Kato stand were kind enough to let me have a play with their Duke prototype.
Sadly, he won't be coming to the UK market due to licensing agreements, but I'm sure plenty will find their way from Japan... 😄

Well, seeing as the "Sodor Railway Repair" character has been getting some attention again, this might interest you tonight -- pretty much what the "Sodor Chain Load Undercut" was built for and how it operates;

Getting some sketchbook sessions in. It's always the chassis that gives me trouble but hopefully not anymore in a week's time 🤞

I'm impressed that they've (seemingly) retained the Dustin content after all this time. No doubt it was made around the same time as Logan and Sam in 2014 / 2015.
Will still be cool to see. Pun not intended ❄️

What's all this about "James & Super E.D." being cut from S5?
I always found it more interesting that Hector was going to debut in that season but got held over until S11.

A while back, I had a(nother) silly idea: an alternative take on 'Toby's Seaside Holiday' / 'Special Attraction'. If it had a bigger budget and a more structured storyline.

I was going to draw this character anyway, but @harpermantheold.bsky.social was kind enough to pay me to do so instead. Thanks, bud! 👍
This is "Yob", a Diesel Crane who lives at Crovan's Gate Works. You can read about her on the SiF ERS Guide for those who have signed up already.
