Here's one of the Swanage Railway's DMUs for this Train Thursday! Watching videos from prior excursions makes me wish for summer again. 🥲 #DieselEngine #HeritageRailway

It's Train Thursday! Look at how pretty these engines are. LOOK AT THEM. #SteamEngine #HeritageRailway
SECR O Class No. 65 at the Spa Valley Railway's Tunbridge Wells West station. This was back on 17th June, 2023. While usually found at the Bluebell Railway, 65 was a special guest. Caledonian Railway No. 828 at Tunbridge Wells West station. CR 828 with SECR 65 in the background.

For today's Train Thursday, here's a photo from last week's excursion to the Bluebell Railway! They have this little cutout of Stepney at the Steamworks where you can pretend to be the driver :)
A painted cutout of the famous Terrier engine Stepney. There's a hole where people can stick their heads in to give the illusion that they're the driver. Reimu fumo is now the driver.

Have a set of Javelins for this Train Thursday! Probably one of the closest things to Shinkansens we have over here 😆

And now for something different for this Train Thursday! Here's some photos from the model railway exhibit at the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway!
A display of a model railway. Notable features include an Intercity 125 and Sir Topham Hatt. Another part of the same display, featuring models of both steam and diesel engines. A little exhibit featuring Thomas the Tank Engine characters! I believe these are from the Ertl series, but I could be wrong. In this section, there's Toby, Oliver, Edward, Bertie, George, Trevor, Bear, Thomas, Daisy, Bulgy, City of Truro, Henry, and James. Another part of the Thomas section, depicting a snowy scene. The models here are of Gordon, Daisy, Henry, Thomas, Trevor, Bertie, Duck, Percy, James, Bill, and Ben.

I always find a bit of joy whenever I cross paths with Trainbow. It makes for a pretty good Train Thursday!

Yes, this is a reference to that one post where someone woke up to find their cat using their toothbrush. #touhou #東方Project
A drawing of Chen from Touhou using a toothbrush in the early hours (like 4am). It can be safely assumed that this is Ran's toothbrush. The same picture as the first one, but with motion blur added to create the illusion that this was a picture someone took as they just woke up.

Casting my mind back to April for this week's Train Thursday! While the T3 stole the show for me, here are some of the other lovely engines that made an appearance back on 27th April this year at the Watercress Line! #SteamEngine #HeritageRailway
LMS 11456, a small stumpy 6 0-6-0 tank engine, puffing around Ropley station. LMS Ivatt Class 2MT 41312 caught in the sun at Alresford station. L&YR 53222 behind its train at Ropley station.

Pixel art is more difficult than I remember! Was my response a bit cheesy? Yes. I still can't believe the 10 year anniversary is so close ;-; Doing this made me feel incredibly nostalgic. Stay determined everyone! ❤️
On the top left, there's a little doodle of my persona in a pixel art form, similar to sprites in Undertale. The text reads "I still hold UNDERTALE very dear to my heart even after all these years. The music and the characters bring a sense of comfort and inspire me to stay determined through everything."
