A new engine comes to cover for James, but is he really as “super” as he claims? Presenting SUPER E.D.!

Did something a bit different this time; both TV and extended versions included.

Here are two photos of BR 74006, which was withdrawn early because it caught fire. Not sharing this for any particular reason whatsoever 😝

Story prompt. The trucks are acting up as usual; when engine X has to arrange them, they do their standard “we want engine Y” bit. As it turns out, engine Y *is* available and takes over, leading to a civil war between the trucks who were making excuses and those who *actually* wanted engine Y

This setup makes so much sense from a storytelling perspective. There’s two boards in the pilot; perhaps the intent was to give Thomas an additional bit of motive… “why is it that I can pass the first board but not the second one?”

NOT MY IMAGES

Found on Facebook. Someone at the Montreal Model Train Exposition customized some Lionel stock to be double sided, representing multiple characters. Novel concept, but the end result is…definitely something.

Had a dream involving TUGS last night…found a promo tape in a library where they had Sunshine pitching the series to kids, sort of like a fake interview sort of thing

Had a really trippy dream last night which involved someone discovering a behind the scenes reel for TUGS. It would’ve been a continuation/soft reboot that was worked on in the mid-late 90s before getting scrapped. It was animated, BUT all the boats/cranes/etc were filmed on a chroma key background-

Just realized I didn’t post this here, so…

I don’t have many positive memories of my childhood, but most of the ones I do have can be linked back to Thomas in some way. Thank you, Britt Allcroft, for giving me something to look back on in fondness. I am just one person, but your vision was…(1/2)

Yes, posting this today may have been intentional.

Added a childhood toy to my knick-knack shelf recently to represent this fandom and what it can achieve. Involving Tiger Moth doesn’t automatically make it good, but several peak fan projects have involved Tiger Moth in some way.
