Oh my god I've literally just noticed Vicarstown Sheds from Edward's Day Out is in Really Helpful Engines

Screenshot from "Really Helpful Engines" of Thomas and Rosie shunting coaches in Vicarstown Yards

Previous screenshot zoomed in to focus on a suspiciously familiar engine shed in the background

The first illustration of "Edward's Day Out" (C.R. Dalby version), depicting Edward in Vicarstown Sheds with five other engines - the shed matches that seen at Vicarstown Yards in "Really Helpful Engines"

Was in the mood for finishing some projects. Had to cut a 4mm slice out of the No5 coach to get it past some encroaching scenery. Finished painting my two vans, one in the old paler livery and the second in the cheaper new livery. #OOn3 #OO12 #ModelTrains #ModelRailroading

So what the hell was going on with Percy's smokebox saddle anyway?? Why is it a different design on both the die-cast and motorised toys? Why does the weird promo art have the slab underneath painted black but only sometimes?

Promotional image of Percy's 2026 design, featuring his original smokebox design but with the slab underneath painted black on the front

Percy's 2026 motorised toy, featuring a redesigned smokebox saddle which is larger and connects cleanly to the smokebox itself

Percy's final design from the Really Helpful Engines trailer, where his smokebox saddle has its original design again??

The thought just dawned on me last night that the overuse of plastic in the Thomas 2026 die-cast range might be a result of The Tariffs and what do you fucking know

The first paragraph on Wikipedia from the page about the 2025-present US tariffs; highlighted excerpt reads "[...]the items most affected by the tariffs are metals, items mostly made of metal[...]"

Long before they came to Sodor, Rosie and Bruno, were two peas in a pod. She'd always remind the other engines "Don't you leave behind, Bruno!" to which, he'd always appreciate. They'd often be called "The Red Rascals" with how cheeky they'd be to the other engines, as well! #TTTE

Nia enjoyed her life on the fat controllers railway. Some things were very new to her but many things were the same no matter where you were, trucks were one of them. "If you stop bumping I'll tell you stories from home" she told them & the curious trucks relucantly behaved.

Sick Diesel tribute sketch page

Digital artwork of the Thomas & Friends Color Changers Diesel toy with his iconic sickly green face and weird expression. Doodles include Sick Diesel standing around, fallen on his side, staring at the camera head-on, watching a butterfly (the same one that's printed on the side of the toy), and sleeping in his shed while dreaming about going to the Hospital. The doodles are on a green background with simple doodles of stars, hearts, swirls, diamonds, a hospital, a butterfly, and Sick Diesel's weird face in the margins

Something interesting I haven't seen many people bring up about the new die-cast Toad is that the bluish-grey colour they've changed him to is seemingly based directly on the GWR's standard goods stock livery, rather than the BR-ish grey colour the TVS went with

Oh crap I forgot to post this on here yesterday like I meant to uhhh

Tobias and the Sentinels-themed Valentine's Day card

The background is the shot of the second Warshire Reset, with blue electricity intertwining with the flames produced by the Designers' Machine

Text in the centre of the card reads: "OLIVER is red, TOBIAS is blue, I promise to always, be there for YOU"; there is an image of Henrietta in her motorised form (with the added traction motors on her axles) underneath

The text for "OLIVER" is coloured red, "TOBIAS" is coloured blue, "I" is coloured orange (for Henrietta), and "YOU" is coloured brown (for Toby)

They made Flynn better, but at what cost?

Panel 1: Flynn (CGI series) is in a hospital bed, Harold (also CGI series) leans over him and says "good luck"

Panel 2: 3 hours later, Flynn (now in his 2026 series design) is still in the hospital bed; a doctor says "your chud energy reduction was a success!"

Panel 3: Flynn sits up and says "where is Harold?", the doctor responds "who do you think took your chud energy?"

Panel 4: Harold (2026 series design) lies asleep in another hospital bed, Flynn cries "NOO!!" leaning over him

You know I gotta give the people behind the 2026 series credit, their redesign for Bulgy is a great way of updating his "telling whoppers until no-one believes his destination boards" schtick for a contemporary audience

The infamous "Vote Leave Bus" with Bulgy's face (stylised with new eyes to resemble the 2026 Thomas & Friends series designs) and license plate

Here are the facts The new box art does not match the photo bashing of the Pixar Cars line (which I believe is already outsourced to begin with) There is a consistent filter applied to all the new Thomas product. But discrepancies seem to come from what base render is applied
