And here is the pre-production concept art. It has its own frame, but it has a piece of shipping cardboard being used as the backing. Needs a proper backing.

The Lady painting looks great, and I can't wait to remove it from its sleeve and reveal its full glory. For now, I'm going to leave it in until I can get a frame for it.

Just got back from my dance event. The Allcroft auction items arrived while I was away.

And Stanley is the unwitting pawn caught up in the results of everyone else's conflicting choices.

The primary characters of the Stanley Parable are quite relatable in their own regard. The Narrator wants to bring his creation to fulfillment but has to deal with the choices of others that throws his objective off course, The Player wants to have independence and not be controlled by someone else,

I'm not feeling well this week, but I did want to share that I was able to win two items in the auction: these two watercolor paintings. It's not much compared with what I'd originally wanted to get, but for what it's worth, it's a good consolation.

The worst case scenario is I get nothing, which I pray is not the case, give me strength. The other items shown are not of essential importance, but if I get lucky I could try to get one of them. Not everything, but something.

1995express (Comms ⏸️)🚂✨🌈📕🖊️🖌️🎨🎬🌌🌎 @1995express.bsky.social · 08/09/2025

The big priority items are of course the Lady prop and the TATMR documentations. I would like to get them both, Lady is special to me and the documents are of great necessity for the world-building of The Magic Railroad Adventures, my tie-in series to Thomas & the Magic Railroad.

Tomorrow's the big day, I've done all I could to prep myself. Just to inform everyone, I do have a substantial amount to put in bids, but I do also have a limit so I don't bust my bank account. I'll try to get as much as I can, but there's only so much that I can do on my own.

This isn't too suggestive, is it? It's Bisexuality Visibility Month and I wanted to draw Ashima being doted on by Thomas and Lady. Well, regardless, Ashima is one lucky gal.

One of the first things I plan to do if I win Lady is to build her her own display mount. Here is a concept sketch of how it would look.

1995express (Comms ⏸️)🚂✨🌈📕🖊️🖌️🎨🎬🌌🌎 @1995express.bsky.social · 18/08/2025

It is another misfortune that I was not able to have any conversations with Britt Allcroft about my series before her passing. It is my ambition to make The Magic Railroad Adventures a worthy spiritual addition to Britt Allcroft’s Thomas and the Magic Railroad...

Filming commenced in Summer of 2010 after I ended 8th Grade. There was many scenes planned that were ultimately removed, some never even made it to filming. I worked countless hours using very few models, and a lot of green screen shots.

1995express (Comms ⏸️)🚂✨🌈📕🖊️🖌️🎨🎬🌌🌎 @1995express.bsky.social · 18/08/2025

Lady’s own origins would have been revealed in a flashback episode, in which one of the other characters would have told someone else about Lady’s history. As I further developed my stories, I realized that it would make far more sense to talk about Lady’s origins first.

100

1995express (Comms ⏸️)🚂✨🌈📕🖊️🖌️🎨🎬🌌🌎 @1995express.bsky.social · 18/08/2025

I since started to develop a series which elaborated on the history of Lady and Diesel 10, this was initially called "The Magic Railroad Untold" and would have started with Lady’s accident by Boomer as well as Diesel 10’s origins.

110

1995express (Comms ⏸️)🚂✨🌈📕🖊️🖌️🎨🎬🌌🌎 @1995express.bsky.social · 18/08/2025

Reading Diesel 10’s description on the Real Lives of Thomas the Tank Engine site, there was a caption stating that the “Pinchy” modification was "non-regulatory", and I thought to myself: “how would Diesel 10 get his claw in the first place?”

Initially, I made my YouTube channel in 2008 simply to enter in the Mad Bomber Video contest, my first upload. After contributing, I felt like I had to get a start in making videos. Coming up with an idea for a series, as far as I recall, wasn’t that difficult.

Today it’s been 15 years since I uploaded The Magic Railroad Adventures Prologue: The Beginning. Very low budget and amateurish on my part, it was my first foray into creating my own personal fan-series: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbe7...

For a limited time only! My replica piece of Burnett's Painting of Lady is back on my Redbubble store! First created by myself in 2020 on CSP. Available as prints, clothing, and accessories. All sales will contribute to the bidding in the Britt Allcroft Auction! www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/4583...

Ever since I brought up the auction on Wednesday, my dance teacher has been automatically using Thomas and Lady as an analogy for myself and her. 😳 No prompts or incentives, just all on her own whim!

1995express (Comms ⏸️)🚂✨🌈📕🖊️🖌️🎨🎬🌌🌎 @1995express.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

I'm more focused on the TATMR material right now, but I am interested in some Shining Time Station material, mainly this painting and some photographic BTS slides. Well, if I don't end up getting them, I hope NorthernStarCA will. He ought to get priority to be honest.

010

1995express (Comms ⏸️)🚂✨🌈📕🖊️🖌️🎨🎬🌌🌎 @1995express.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

Storyboards are another item of interest. They'll mainly go in the preservation collection.

1995express (Comms ⏸️)🚂✨🌈📕🖊️🖌️🎨🎬🌌🌎 @1995express.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

Some other props are listed, the Lady Painting and the Shining Time Timetable. I'm a bit on the line with this one. I already have my own painting of Lady, would it be worth it to purchase the original? Maybe. The time table's more of a fancy than a necessity. Who knows, maybe I'll have a go with it

1995express (Comms ⏸️)🚂✨🌈📕🖊️🖌️🎨🎬🌌🌎 @1995express.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

This concept art is GORGEOUS!!! I would love to have these hanging on my wall. I don't know if I would be able to get them, certainly not all, but it would be nice. Perhaps if push comes to shove, I'll try for the Lady art and the multiple worlds art.

1995express (Comms ⏸️)🚂✨🌈📕🖊️🖌️🎨🎬🌌🌎 @1995express.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

There are a bunch of tapes in relation to the production of Thomas and the Magic Railroad. If I were to get them, I would reach out to Carty and send them off for him to restore them. Some people have already told me not to bid for them, and I understand their case, but I consider myself backup.

100

1995express (Comms ⏸️)🚂✨🌈📕🖊️🖌️🎨🎬🌌🌎 @1995express.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

Photographs are another goal. If I can obtain them, I can preserve them for the behind the scenes visuals, and maybe recreate Lily's scrapbook. Hey, if it happens that Mara Wilson would be interested in shooting the 20 years later epilogue, I'd back it up!

1995express (Comms ⏸️)🚂✨🌈📕🖊️🖌️🎨🎬🌌🌎 @1995express.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

Next up are these documents! These are my next priority; not only would that be kept preserved, but they'd also provide insight that would help develop The Magic Railroad Adventures, my pet project. I want to bring the best series that I can make, and it makes up for the loss of talking with Britt.

1995express (Comms ⏸️)🚂✨🌈📕🖊️🖌️🎨🎬🌌🌎 @1995express.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

Where to I begin?!? Well, first of all, this Lady prop! It's unmotorized, likely a replica made during post-production, but I would LOVE to win her if given the chance. You can bet my shoelaces that if I did, I would make a scale model of Ashima to complete the Holy Trinity!

Thomas was feeling happy-go-lucky. Life was good; he had his best friends, family & lovers around him, there was an anniversary to celebrate, no problems to worry about. He never felt better. He danced a little ragtime.
