Alrighty, this should be fun! We're going to work our way backwards from "newest" to "oldest", posted weekly in the run-up to Christmas 🎄

So we're starting off with stories set in the CGI era. Happy reading!

"Sail With Us" in Bigg City Port

here's a new piece - inspired by 1930s New York Posters and the TUGS sizzle reel style, I created a poster for Tugs, advertising the Star and Zero companies in the port

Funny to realise that 'The Great Race' will be 10 years old in May. Where does the time go...? 😵

When it comes to the songs -- whether you like them or not -- this verse from 'You Can Only Be You' has always struck a chord with me. Quite profound, really, coupled with the performance.

Weather is still wet and windy where I am. Good thing these two engines are used to it 😉

Would be nice to have another attempt at building this layout again someday. I'm sure with some careful planning, it could work.

It's a beautiful thing when scenes are reenacted.

Here’s a little replication of The Runaway from the Clearwater Event in 2022.

I'm delighted to reveal that Richie and Eddie are the latest characters in the Buggleskelly Station range.

They may be a couple of poor sad gits, but they really would make a smashing cameo on your model railway or diorama.

"Oh yes, the passengers much prefer *me*. They like my big windows…”
“They obviously meant your big mouth."
“They appreciate my graceful swerves…”
“You’ve got all the grace of a reversing bin lorry!”

Derek thinks it's fun working at the Quarry. 'Arry and Bert don't agree...

(Weird how in later seasons 'Arry and Bert were nearly always at the Quarry instead of working at the Smelter's Yard. Does anyone else agree?)

Today's video is premiering very soon! This week I'll be redesigning the cast of a show called Mighty Express and give my own theories as to why the show failed and could have done better. This is a new one from me- a whopping five drawings in one video!
