Since I’m playing catch up, allow me to reintroduce myself:

Hi, I’m Matt! You might know me as the tall one from the purple-ant way gang, or that voice in that thing what you saw (I’ve been called other names, but none of them are very polite). Here’s me and some of my stuff!

Very proud of all of them

With 1 day to go until our Railway Series Weekend, one of our Special Guests has come out of the shed early to show off his lovely new coat of paint!

In fact, he's come out, especially since he heard he could be on TV. You can catch us on ITV News TONIGHT at around 7:20pm!"

He’s not quite done (pray for me with the windows and couplings) but here is Toby! (And Henrietta). Quite a simple repaint of a Rapido J70, but I’m thrilled with the way the colours pop!

Big scary awards night tonight AAAA

We'll see how it goes! Regardless of the outcome, the fact I've been nominated and shortlisted at all is so kind. Thank you.
Tonight we're at the Heritage Railway Association Awards - our volunteer & staff member Luke Ryan is up for the Rising Star Award!

He's currently enjoying a visit to the Tanfield Railway along with the other HRA Award hopefuls ahead of the big night - wish him luck!

Good heavens! Mrs Bird told me that this would make a wonderful present for you to watch before Christmas, and I must say I agree.

Shopping is a rather complicated outing. ❄️
Paddington's Christmas Shopping will premiere on Christmas Eve at 8pm GMT.
