Let’s just say, I “improved” that one Season 22 episode. John T. Kennedy, my hat is off to you when I say I recreated your style again.
💛🚂🚋🎩

(Read ALT in first image for the plot! 🙂)

“There has been gossip about the identity of a new engine who had recently been brought to the North Western Railway and seems to cause confusion to the schedules of the express trains. This new engine was as hasty as pudding, and despite Sir Topham wanting to help Gordon ease his express scheduling, the plan seems to have backfired.

Miranda, the new engine, felt anxious and insecure causing a mess to the express scheduling on her first day at the NWR, but felt much more relieved after her opening ceremony seeing Hilary and her granddaughter giving a comfort talk to her. She decided she didn’t want to carry the burdens of the name “Miranda” anymore, and instead altered it to Rebecca in honour of the granddaughter.

The others were confused on who “Miranda” or “Rebecca” was, but eventually, they warmed up to her presence at their sheds. Gordon still has his skeptics, however.”

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.

Stephenson's Ballast✨🚂

Back again with another Gunvor and Peter Edwards artwork, lemme know ya thoughts!^^

#TAFcollab2025 #Thomasandfriends

"Using every ounce of steam and strength, Stephen pulled and strained against the heavy ballast trucks. Rex and Mike watched in amusement.

Wheels gripping the rails, his funnel shot out clouds of smoke high into the air, showering all over Duck, who was taking a passenger train. Poor Duck!"

Attention all customers in the USA!

The Fat Controller may have thrown a spanner into the works with his added tariffs, but I'm very pleased to say that we've now set up the website to take these into account, and as of today we can ship to the USA once again!

I realized that I never posted this art piece of Rusty on this site before, so I thought it would be a good time to do so. 👷🏽🚧🚋 #thomasthetankengine #ttte #timsart #fanart

(P.S. I made time lapse video if y'all are interested. ⬇️📽️🎨)

*NEW PRODUCT!*

A run down buffer stop for an overgrown siding. This sleeper built buffer stop is collapsing on one side, and the sleepers have rotted in the rain.

A new Rexeljet video at this time of the week? Well sort of- it's a compilation video but there's an original segment at the beginning and some editing errors from the original videos have been fixed:

I'm not saying you should vote for Buggleskelly Station in the Hornby Magazine Model Railway Awards 2025, but they've added a special category this year just so you can.
