A huge well done and THANK-YOU to the @talyllyn.co.uk team for organising yet another Awdry Extravaganza!

Happy to say I'm 5/5 with attendance and enjoyed every one.

It's been great meeting so many people (again); sorry if I didn't talk to you for long enough, or for too long!

Probably will be going to that yes! Have a lot more done by then!:D

Our one and only Gallant Old Engine - still steaming strong!

Shame we didn’t speak this year (either at the wrong place at the wrong time, or just too busy to talk!) hope you had a great time:D

Getting some sketchbook sessions in. It's always the chassis that gives me trouble but hopefully not anymore in a week's time 🤞

If you’re find them… foreign, have this superb story that introduces them in a shocking manner!

These two were fun to make!

When first listening about them in TheBuriedTruck’s stories, they really struck me.

So have Eleanor and Edith:)

Best blue boys!

Here’s my finished Thomas and Edward!

Thanks! Glad someone noticed by little orange tribute to the og look!:D

To commemorate the Railway Series' special anniversary, my latest poster design is packed with references- some obvious, some not so obvious. Some are easier to spot in the physical print.

Let's go through them!

I’ve also RWS-ified Rebecca!

Livery mostly inspired by MechanicalShed’s!

Full color photograph of a small light green saddle tank steam locomotive with a red chassis, four driving wheels, and red stripes on his boiler, with a yellow no. '6' outlined in red behind his cab and a black roof on top with yellow circle windows for the crew to see through. He is perched atop a black open wagon sitting on the railway tracks lettered "G W" for Great Western, as well as labels "54101" and "10 Tons". The locomotive is Percy from the Thomas the Tank Engine/Railway Series franchise, as he has a sad expression and is covered in dirt. Beside the wagon and next to the tracks is a pile of stones spilled from it. In front of the truck is a black suited gentleman, the Fat Controller/Sir Topham Hatt, scolding and pointing at Percy for his predicament. In the background is a small blue and gray lorry/truck next to a small warehouse. The sky is blue and the background shows many green hills and trees. The scene is based off the story 'Percy's Predicament' from the second season of the TV series, and the fourth story in book no. 16 "Branch Line Engines."

"You can stay there," the Fat Controller continued, "'til we are ready. Perhaps it'll teach you to be more careful with trucks."

'Percy sighed.'

Here is my entry for #JustLikeAwdry for 2025!
This is far from my best work as I quickly ran out of time, but I'm happy I was able to get it done at all.

The Down the Mine Pilot Episode versions of Gordon (at the left) and Thomas (at the right) chuffing and puffing out of Knapford Station. North Western Railway - "Really reliable and right on time."

Livery and partial design is based off Princess-Muffins sprite from DeviantArt.

The rest (Stanier design below) is all me:)

I’ve RWS-ified Nia!

Lot of changes here but I’m happy with the results:)

My model of Ronald, as a NER Raven Z class (later LNER C7). (Face by me and GresleyNG)

Surprise! Another new model I made out of nowhere!

This was a bit of a risky move, given the last time I tried to make a 4-4-2 engine, but here is Ronald the Loaned Atlantic! (aka, @theburiedtruck.bsky.social's take on the green engine from Edward's Day Out)

SHE DONE! Sure she may look like her TV series prop, sure she may have the middle of her wheels painted as if there were nails, sure I could’ve done the lettering & number better.. BUT MAN I can’t help but actually love her, most of the inspiration came from @themidlandengine.bsky.social

I was gonna focus on the diesels for a bit but couldn’t resist Rosie! She was very fun to make!:D

Emily but if she was in the Railway Series...

Ivatt tank engines run the branch line east of the island. Both are painted in Midland colours and work hard.

They are called Arthur, and Barry.

Tidmouth, August 1985

The Thin Clergyman has invited a few visitors. The visitors were filmmakers, a smartly dressed man in a hat, and a lady dressed in lovely blue dress. All were followed by men with cameras and asked to meet the Engines. All of whom were very pleased.
