One last update on Rosie. After posting that thread about her backstory, I realised the red livery should have yellow boiler bands. So here's a minor update. #STMY #TTTE
A USATC S100 locomotive in red livery with yellow boiler bands is standing on a turntable.

Here’s Rosie’s full backstory for #STMY.

She was originally built as the prototype of the USATC S100 class, and was test-run in Bigg City port between 1941-1943. After her test runs, her sisters were built. She was shipped off to Europe with them to help with WW2. (1/8) #TTTE
A USATC S100 in a grey livery is pulling American boxcars over a harbour. There is a tugboat in the background. A USATC S100 class in USATC black is shunting in France. There is a train going past in the background.

A slight update to Rosie's NWR livery. Just a bit more colour on the running gear. #STMY #TTTE
A USATC S100 class tank engine with a freckled Thomas & Friends style face is on a siding. She is in a green livery with the number 18. One of her side rods is painted red.

Here's a bunch of Rosies. These liveries are canon to her in #STMY. In order from left-to-right: Bigg City Port, USATC, BR Black (Early), BR Black (Late), BR Green (Late), Industrial Red, Industrial Red (scrapyard), Preservation Green (Rose Logo), Preservation Green, NWR Green. (1/2) #TTTE
Several USATC S100 class engines are lined up on a siding, facing away from the camera. They have a variety of liveries.

Slight tweak to #STMY lore. Rosie is now a NWR engine, no. 18. #TTTE.
A USATC S100 class locomotive in NWR green livery with red lining and number 18 is sitting on a siding, talking to a yellow minimum gauge locomotive. Both locomotives have Thomas the Tank Engine style faces.

Here are the next few shots from my #stey 15th anniversary special, 'Fallen Flag'. #STMY #TTTE
A diesel locomotive with a Thomas and Friends style face is glaring at a steam engine in the background. Several goods trucks are derailed and scattered. In the background, a LMS J50 class pushes a crane to clear up the mess. Some locomotives are taking away empty trucks. A Metrovick diesel heads along a cliffside railway line, with trucks behind him.

I've had a few comments about the fowler tenders on the engines. As such, I've decided only Henry and the Scottish Twins had theirs upgraded.

With the others, they tried it. But Alice found that the extra weight didn't help. Peter declined as he wanted to look different from Henry. #ttte #stmy

Before I decided to return to a seasonal approach for STMY, I did edit together the full first episode for the 'Harbour Engines' mini-series. It's now been uploaded to Youtube, and you can find it here: youtu.be/p6__aNC6H20?.... #TTTE #STMY

I've started filming 'Fallen Flag', which was a cancelled episode of Season 4 of Sodor the Early Years. I've also worked a cancelled Arlesdale episode into the script. I'll be releasing this for STEY's 15th anniversary. Here's the first shots from it.

#STEY #STMY #TTTE
Duck the great western engine, a model made in Trainz, is sitting in a shed talking to Donald and Douglas, the Scottish Twins. Donald the Scottish engine is on a yard track with trucks behind him, looking shocked. A van with a face in the background is also surprised. A blue miniature engine is derailed, as are the trucks behind him. A grumpy grey diesel, named Frank, shoots a disdainful look at the blue miniature engine who has derailed.

Does anyone know where I can find a Little Western route for Trainz?

I already have the SI3D and CGW ones. #ttte

Here's a fanart I made of Pip and Emma, to draw them I was inspired by @wildnorwester.bsky.social's models. I hope you like it!

Righto. I've just realised that the 15th anniversary of Sodor the Early Years is coming up in February next year. Now, for the 10th anniversaries of STEY and STMY, I did remakes of previous episodes. But this time around, I'm thinking I may try something a bit different. #TTTE #STMY (1/2)
