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

Slight tweak to #STMY lore. Rosie is now a NWR engine, no. 18. #TTTE.

Here's all four variations of Bradford the brake van. LMS, British Rail, NWR and TVS. (I'll be correcting the BR number). Thank you to Knuckles Productions for the faces. (1/2) #TTTE #STMY

Tucked away in a corner of the Ffarquhar Quarry sits a former LMS brakevan, converted into a shed. #TTTE #STMY

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.

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

It's taken a while, but I've finally figured out all 9 episodes for Season 3 of #STMY. 7 of them will take place in the past. #TTTE

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

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.
