A 5x5 bingo sheet of several Thomas & Friends characters, who are potential candidates for the as-of-yet untitled 2026 series. Row 1: Henrietta, Toby, Edward, Henry, Bertie Row 2: Hiro, Bruno, Diesel, Gordon, Emily Row 3: Ashima, Nia, Thomas, Percy, Harold Row 4: Duck, The Fat Controller, James, Annie & Clarabel, Cranky Row 5: Yong Bao, Rosie, Flying Scotsman, Terence, Salty

Since MIPJunior's coming up next weekend there's a good chance we'll get our first looks at the untitled 2026 series from there (we got early previews for BWBA and AEG from there before), so I made a bingo chart of potential returnees in anticipation of that

"The newly formed North Western Railway's first locomotive. Recently acquired and fitted with both steam and vacuum brakes. Here No.1 stands in ex-works condition in the company's new livery."

Just slapped the last touches on Malkavian.

For an unplanned model made from scraps, I'm incredibly proud of it and so excited to find a place to run it.

Original face textures by @tinesaeriel.bsky.social

A render of a cube in Blender with one of Montague's face textures from "TOBIAS AND THE HALF-PARIAH" textured on each side.

Behold: The Montacube
"We both know how he was: angry, vengeful and squared"

My 3D modelling career has peaked here I think

Montague screaming from the climax of Tobias and the Half-Pariah

IT IS MY YAOI, MINE, I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BISEXUAL ENGINE, IT IS MY RIGHT

Thistle!

This little gremlin was built on a whim using a spare tram chassis, plasticard, and some other scraps. Very incredibly happy with how its come out.

Perhaps they specifically wanted rolling stock for whatever reason - maybe bc Harvey's historically been difficult to integrate into motorised ranges, or just to suit whatever story Jay debuts in

A Hornby-Meccano four-wheeled railway crane; red with a black chassis, white text on the side reads "TO LIFT 10 TONS"

In my mind's eye he looks something like this: a four-wheeled railway crane that can easily fit into a smaller pack and works as an independent character, since Rocky's quite big and Judy/Jerome are a duo

Soooo, as a little surprise for the 11th anniversery of Tobias And The Half Pariah - a custom ERTL Designers' Coach from #TATAM!

My collection of coaches grows.

Digital painting of a small magenta maroon tank engine on an overgrown piece of track near a hill. She has the name "Lady" in cursive written on her side tanks. She is Lady from Thomas & the Magic Railroad, a small 0-4-0 side tank engine with magenta boiler, tanks, cab, bunker, and wheels, a black smokebox, and golden lining. She has many golden or brass accents, including a fluted dome and chimney cap, safety valve, whistle, wheel cranks, connecting rods, and buffers. She has a black smokebox door and no face, and a screw link hook and chain coupler on her front. Various other realistic details are seen in various nooks and crannies.

My take on Lady from Thomas & the Magic Railroad. I wanted to try to keep her proportions and shape language the same, but detail her as a realistic steam locomotive.

Cropped section of the 2014 Island of Sodor map, showing the markers for Conrad's Bridge and Tidmouth Tunnel

The castle tunnel from Series 3 of 'Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends'

So an interesting piece of information I got from Sam Wilkinson during my exhibition slot at AE5

"Conrad's Bridge" was apparently the production name used for the Castle Tunnel from S3; I'm unsure how this factors into "Tidmouth Tunnel", which is also marked separately on the map

Tywyn Beach; the Sun shines low down through the clouds

We'll make our own kingdom
You and me
With a shed
By the sea
Together

(Went to AE5, will probably post a thread later?)

omg the tiny chassis Toby I love him

two of them

The inspector when he comes to the engine shed in 1959 to check over the new goods engine the Fat Controller ordered from the Scottish Region

"Awesome lesbian couple / evil and intimidating horse" meme but with Oliver and Atherton as the couple and Tobias in place of the horse. Text is altered to read "awesome gay couple / evil and intimidating tram".

I love the Crosby scene in Act 2 of Arcane Merchant #tobiasandthearcanemerchant

fym they cancelled him

Reminder that Thomas got a hydrogen conversion before it was cool

a pride for little diesel month

The editor accidentally shifted the underline a bit too far to the right

The "full of milk" cat meme, but edited to read "full of caffeine"; the cat's face has been replaced by Thomas the Tank Engine's CGI face with an unnaturally wide smile
