Here's a bunch of Rosies. These liveries are canon to her in #STMY. In order from left-to-right: Bigg City Port, USATC, BR Black (Early), BR Black (Late), BR Green (Late), Industrial Red, Industrial Red (scrapyard), Preservation Green (Rose Logo), Preservation Green, NWR Green. (1/2) #TTTE
Several USATC S100 class engines are lined up on a siding, facing away from the camera. They have a variety of liveries.

Slight tweak to #STMY lore. Rosie is now a NWR engine, no. 18. #TTTE.
A USATC S100 class locomotive in NWR green livery with red lining and number 18 is sitting on a siding, talking to a yellow minimum gauge locomotive. Both locomotives have Thomas the Tank Engine style faces.

Here are the next few shots from my #stey 15th anniversary special, 'Fallen Flag'. #STMY #TTTE
A diesel locomotive with a Thomas and Friends style face is glaring at a steam engine in the background. Several goods trucks are derailed and scattered. In the background, a LMS J50 class pushes a crane to clear up the mess. Some locomotives are taking away empty trucks. A Metrovick diesel heads along a cliffside railway line, with trucks behind him.

I've had a few comments about the fowler tenders on the engines. As such, I've decided only Henry and the Scottish Twins had theirs upgraded.

With the others, they tried it. But Alice found that the extra weight didn't help. Peter declined as he wanted to look different from Henry. #ttte #stmy

Before I decided to return to a seasonal approach for STMY, I did edit together the full first episode for the 'Harbour Engines' mini-series. It's now been uploaded to Youtube, and you can find it here: youtu.be/p6__aNC6H20?.... #TTTE #STMY

I've started filming 'Fallen Flag', which was a cancelled episode of Season 4 of Sodor the Early Years. I've also worked a cancelled Arlesdale episode into the script. I'll be releasing this for STEY's 15th anniversary. Here's the first shots from it.

#STEY #STMY #TTTE
Duck the great western engine, a model made in Trainz, is sitting in a shed talking to Donald and Douglas, the Scottish Twins. Donald the Scottish engine is on a yard track with trucks behind him, looking shocked. A van with a face in the background is also surprised. A blue miniature engine is derailed, as are the trucks behind him. A grumpy grey diesel, named Frank, shoots a disdainful look at the blue miniature engine who has derailed.

Does anyone know where I can find a Little Western route for Trainz?

I already have the SI3D and CGW ones. #ttte

Here's a fanart I made of Pip and Emma, to draw them I was inspired by @wildnorwester.bsky.social's models. I hope you like it!

Righto. I've just realised that the 15th anniversary of Sodor the Early Years is coming up in February next year. Now, for the 10th anniversaries of STEY and STMY, I did remakes of previous episodes. But this time around, I'm thinking I may try something a bit different. #TTTE #STMY (1/2)

The stories from the Harbour Engines mini-series have been moved into season 4. However, I did produce a full-length version of Fast Goods, which was the planned mini-series opener. It'll still be in season 4, cut down. But I'm thinking of releasing the original, as a bit of a glimpse. #TTTE #STMY
A BR Class 02 shunter in yellow-and-green livery is shunting a truck. There are two people standing on the loading dock next to it, a man and a woman. Both are wearing suits.

Here are the first four screenshots from the #STMY season 3 opening episode, 'Percy and Toad'. #TTTE
Trainz models of Thomas the Tank Engine and Percy the Green Engine standing next to each other at Elsbridge Station. They're looking happy and talking to each other. Douglas the Scottish Twin crosses a bridge, while a diesel with a goods passes below. Douglas the Scottish twin is passing another train in the background. Terence the tractor is on it, and is grinning at Douglas. Emily Helen Hatt, the fourth Fat Controller, is talking to Percy the green engine while holding an umbrella. Mavis the quarry diesel is passing in the background.

100 years ago James proved to the others his amazing capabilities as a goods engine...to which nobody cares.

I've decided to make Manx Island Rescue a post-season special. So I've now got two more episodes to write. One will be on the Arlesdale Railway, the other on the Skarloey.

Right now, I'm writing a scene where Sir Handel and Peter Sam do a 'good cop, bad cop' routine on Duncan.

Hi all. I've decided to return to a seasonal approach for #STMY, as the mini-series format was not working for me. Full details and a casting call for the upcoming episodes are here: youtu.be/69vnjZJ4VFQ. #ttte

More shots from 'Manx Island Rescue'. By now, the story has moved into 1945. #ttte #stmy
A Bullied Q1 class is passing a small industrial tank engine. They're looking at each other and smiling, with their Thomas the Tank Engine style faces. Two trains crossing on a viaduct. One is a passenger train heading away from the camera, the other is a goods train loaded with scrap going in the other direction. A tugboat with a Thomas-style face is looking cheesed off. Two tank engines with Thomas the tank engine style faces are looking at each other, worried.

Some more shots from Manx Island Rescue. That first one shows the first time Ten Cents met Gordon. #TTTE #STMY
Ten Cents the tugboat is in a harbour, talking to Gordon the blue engine and a small tender engine named Lucy. They are all painted in wartime black. Ten Cents is pulling a barge away from a dock. In the background, a weathered green tank engine is shunting trucks. Overall view of a harbour. Thomas the Tank Engine is glaring at a small tender engine named Lucy. James the red engine is glaring at a small tender engine named Lucy as she goes past.

As Edward ran ahead with the train Locke stayed at the back, as brakevans often do, and kept an eye on the trucks as they trundled down the mainline.

If ever one tried to play a trick he's ring out his little bell & Edward would promptly bump them to make them settle down.
