I'm sure most of you were expecting a grand celebration for the 10 year milestone, and hopefully my industrial saga will be close enough to what you expected.

The Irish Express @irishexpress.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Industrial Engines is something I have put my heart and soul into, and I am so thrilled to finally share those stories as well as two characters of my own creation with you all.

I'm still struggling to find the words to say how flabbergasted and speechless I am at how far I've come over the last 10 years. Adapting stories by other authors has truly been a delight.

The Irish Express @irishexpress.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

I didn't think anyone would bother watching my videos given how inexperienced I was at the time, but boy did that change quickly. I didn't think my videos would be enjoyed and liked by so many people.

The Irish Express @irishexpress.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Today marks 10 years since I plucked up the courage to join YouTube and start fulfilling my wish to start making videos. So to mark the occasion I've released my first ever railway series. I hope you enjoy The Industrial Engines. t.co/Q2fkNRjUkr

"Oliver's Escape". Was messing around in ReShade last night, and this was the result. Route by me.

It is night time. Oliver the Great Western Engine is puffing though a foggy railway yard with Toad the Brake Van.

Various diesel locos are lurking in the darkness.

The last month or so I've been taking things at a slow pace as I don't want to burn myself out. I am happy to say however that next project is almost finished! This time we'll be having a bit of fun on Thomas's Branch Line. More updates coming soon...

“Shunting for a ‘slow goods’ train indeed – it’s ridiculous!” “You’re never happy are you, James?” Words by @tardisrescue.bsky.social Route by Dryite.

Edward the Blue Engine and James the Red Engine are shunting trucks at Wellsworth station.

James looks very annoyed. Edward can't help but smile.

“You know, James, if you worked as hard as you spoke, you’d be the hardest-working engine I’d know!” Route by me. Words by @tardisrescue.bsky.social

Ryan the Purple Engine, Duck the Great Western Engine and James the Red engine are at Knapford station.

James is letting off steam, looking annoyed. Duck and Ryan are smiling at him.

Clearly, Duck has been teasing James again.

Hi all. Been finishing up another audio story for the weekend. This time a RWS set one focusing on one of the more minor characters in the series

2026 marks 40 years since series 2 of Thomas & Friends aired on television. Although series 1 was a great start to kick off a new tv show, the 2nd season really kicked it out of the park with new characters, storylines and exploring more and more into this magical island.

4/4 ...or was it...?? 👀 Route by me.

It is night time at the Big Station and very foggy. The ghost of an old rusty steam engine lurks in the sidings. It seems to be watching Oliver the Great Western Engine and Toad the Brakevan a little way ahead. Or maybe it was just passing by, minding its own business...

Considering how often these two were seen together in the background during the HiT era, it would nice to imagine if they became unlikely friends after a time 🙂 Route by Dryite

3. And finally we had a CGI to Classic transformation by DCG12B. He wrote Ryan into the classic era and did a brilliant job bringing a CGI character into such a nostalgic period of time. As well as that, he amazed me by starring a Culdee Fell appearance in this story too! youtu.be/lSMhvTB-Kdc?...
