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.

A very late tribute to the late Britt Allcroft, but after the recent auction, I was inspired to do my own version of the famous Lady painting from Thomas and the Magic Railroad.
I'm very satisfied with the end result. It's exactly how I wanted it.
#thomasthetankengine #ttte #fanart #thomasandfriends

Full image fanart illustration of a painting of the character 'Lady' from the Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends film 'Thomas and the Magic Railroad.' The setting is a brownish yellow, grassy hillside with small red and white flowers dotted about. A small magenta steam locomotive with four wheels, a purple roof and frame, and gold smokebox and lining, with her name 'Lady' in gold script lettering on her sides is climbing the hill towards the sunrise in the background, which has fluffy pinkish-white clouds and lilac purple colored mountains with a bit of snow on their peaks. Smoke swirls out of the steam locomotive's chimney against the medium blue sky with a sun coating it in yellow from the left side. In the bottom right in script black lettering says 'In loving memory of Britt Allcroft' - indicating it is for the passed on creator of the television series adaptation of Thomas the Tank Engine a.k.a. The Railway Series books.

Had a nice little visit at the #NCTransportationMuseum or the first time. It’s a remarkable museum that I recommend anyone that visits NC. Also got to see the famous number one blue tank engine from Sodor at the museum.

Thank you @cartycinema.bsky.social for a little tour and for your autograph.
