He bucks apples out of trees,
He eats his lunch,
He goes to the lavatory!
On Wednesdays he goes shopping,
And has buttered scones for tea!

Just imagine the yard tracks looking like pre-preservation Talyllyn... 😆

"Now, do you know which ones are weeds?"
"...all of them?"
"Correct!"

Always like seeing more Trottingham Vale!

Though I probably laughed far more than I should have at the name 'Topta Bottom'... 🤣

Trottingham Vale Light Railway no. 4 “TRISTANA” sits in the yard at Trottingham Station. Her driver, Poppy Lentz, is reading a manifest given to her by the yard manager Topta Bottom, who is carrying a stack of paperwork in her mouth. The firepony Cork Top is stood in the tender listening to the conversation. He is covered in coal dust.

Just to provide some additional context here before people start asking why I couldn't just forge/weld a new blade on: The place I work at is in the middle of a national park, so due to local planning laws we can't have a forge or do any heat work since we're not allowed a smokestack/chimney.

I do kitchen knife sharpening & reshaping (for broken knives) as part of my job.

Customer turned up one day, broken knife. A carving knife that now only had a stub of a blade 1inch long on the handle. They couldn't understand that I couldn't just magically make the blade 1ft long again.

Just had a look at the plotline for this one - Don't know whether to laugh or cry...

Truly, THIS, was the bard's true vision! 😂

My records tell my I've made at least seven references to Thunderbirds over the years. Surprisingly, even the most well versed fans haven't pointed out the Zero-X reference in at least two images yet!

Perhaps I'm too nerdy for my own good... 😅

Tried to draw some silly supermarionation inspired pony imagery tonight, got sidetracked onto other jobs. Either way, it'd take a lot to top this one I think... 😅

Also, I will forever be eternally grateful for Trapped in the Sky giving me this clip to use as a Gif! 🤣

It's a bit hard to put into 300 characters just how far reaching the influence of Thunderbirds has been on UK culture and media. I think the best way to sum it is to probably point out that, if it wasn't for Thunderbirds, there probably wouldn't be Wallace & Gromit:

And as some additional 'bonus' material, I highly recommend the Century 21 Films 'Thunderbirds Unseen' episode. If it's your first time seeing Trapped in the Sky, a fair few things might suddenly make much more sense production wise!

Totally forgot what today was! Happy Thunderbirds Day everyone!

On this day 60 years ago, 'Trapped in the Sky' first aired in the UK, and even now it's a great watch, the final rescue is superb!

And if you haven't seen it, it's available to watch online, FOR FREE!

I still have no idea how the actor for the forest spirit got into the final room and up close to us unnoticed as we were literally playing sardines at that point, I can only guess that he was already there and we were unwittingly herded in front - A great use of the art of misdirection!

As some may have realised, I've been at the first day of Scarefest today!
I'm not one for big scares, but the new Edge of the Forest was very good. A lot more story driven than recent mazes and did mess with my mind a bit till halfway through.
