Last week I was able to buy and preserve the UK production script of "Thomas, Terence and the Snow" from 1984 on eBay - one of my favourite winter episodes as a child. Please have a read and enjoy! drive.google.com/file/d/1BAiu...

It was Bus Day Weekend this weekend at Illinois Railway Museum. Thomas the Tank Engine and Chicago & North Western Line No.2904 are both running together yesterday and today at IRM’s Hobby Shop. I had fun volunteering both yesterday and today.

We dug through the archives to find another one-off heritage livery. This time it's No.1, which, in 1997, was weathered to look like it did in the pre-preservation era for a photo charter. Do you remember this? 📸 TR Collection #HeartofGold

Our final Photo CharTR of the year is well underway, featuring a rather dirty and worn 'Dolgoch'. A team of volunteers have carefully weathered No.2 to resemble how she was in the late 1940s, including some temporary sign writing!

The in-game map for Wonders of Sodor is based on a 3D scan of the Reverend Wilbert Awdry's own relief map of Sodor, which proudly lives within the Awdry Study display in the Narrow Gauge Railway Museum at Tywyn Wharf. So, where on the Island will you be driving to next? #HeartofGold

26 years ago on Saturday August 19th, I saw Thomas and the Magic Railroad on screen at Carpentersville IL. Now, 26 years later, I’m excited to see the Director’s Cut, The Britt Allcroft Edition, at the premier to see the true version and also bring back my childhood memories.
