With the 1963 trilogy over, I’m excited to announce the Tidmouth Duology! Huge shout outs to @mechanicalshed.bsky.social / @rpenn-illustration.bsky.social And @seaswine.bsky.social for their amazing art! I’m working on other projects at the moment, but be on the lookout for when these drop!!

Now for a more serious post. Rosie seems to have finally gotten a spot in the sheds nearly a decade after we thought she would. The empty space I'm gonna assume belongs to Nia due to her heavy presence in the toy line. Could be Diesel but I doubt it. Also Henry's home, yay!

Tidmouth Sheds in the 2026 Thomas and Friends reboot. From left to right the characters presented are Bruno, Thomas, Henry, Rosie, Percy, Gordon and James. One berth in the sheds is left empty, with no confirmation yet of who will be staying there.

No way, they brought back Vicarstown Sheds?!

Contrary to the text written on the post, the image actually depicts Tidmouth Sheds as is appears in the trailer for 'Really Helpful Engines', marking the start of the 2026 iteration of Thomas and Friends.

Having watched Nick Starwind's video on the Early Narration VHS releases, here's the code from my early Trust Thomas. It seems mine's one of the later copies released with all but the last 4 digits matching what has been confirmed as a 2nd narration.

VHS tape for 'Trust Thomas and Other Stories', including the Early Narrations as told by Michael Angelis. The barcode number reads '0558018305', making it potentially one of the last copies of the early narration to be released.

As teased on YouTube, you're getting a new Railway Series saga across multiple videos! At present there isn't much left to do until these stories are ready to share so keep an eye out for a release date and the Foreword where the subject of this volume will be revealed!

Visual indicator that a new Railway Series style volume of stories is in development. The placeholder title and image are not indicators of the volume's subject, which has yet to be revealed.

"Off to see the world now, Thomas?" "Yes, Edward - I am!" ~Book 2: Thomas and the Breakdown Train. Happy 81st Anniversary to the Railway Series! Here's submission no. 2 for the #RWSESCollab this year in 2026. #ttte #tttefanart #rws #railwayseries #thomasthetankengine #thomasandfriends #fanart

Full image, full colored fanart illustration of the Thomas & Friends story, Thomas and the Breakdown Train, from the Railway Series book, Thomas the Tank Engine. Three parallel railway tracks stretch the full diagonal length of the image, with the background being green, grassy hillsides in a busy country setting. A dark blue steam locomotive with a matching tender named Edward, who's numbered "2", is at a station platform on the right (viewer left) coming directly at the viewer with a very calm, satisfied expression and dark red coaches coupled behind him. He has a headlamp on the top of his smoke box, indicating he's a stopping service train. Having the same head code is a smaller blue steam locomotive with no tender on the track opposite the station platform (viewer right) named Thomas who also has red stripes on his blue boiler, tanks, and cab, and also has a red chassis with a light gray running board. He looks at Edward with laughter, elation and pride, acknowledging Thomas achieved his goal of seeing the world by running his own branch line, as Edward looks on with pride for his student. Smoke swirls out of both locomotives' stacks. A rectangular sign says "KNAPFORD" in san-serif text on the dark gray platform with white edges. The triangular canopy over the platform is green with dark gray wood texture on top of the roof. An orange building houses a brown haired ticket master. On the platform are Edward's fireman, a brown man with dark hair in a dark blue crew uniform, Thomas' driver, a blonde tan man also in the dark blue uniform, a black man in a light brown hat and suit sitting on the bench facing away from the viewer, and a light-skinned elf with silver hair in pigtails sleeping on the bench facing the viewer. Also on the platform is a woman with pinkish-blonde, bob-cut hair, in a gray sweater and periwinkle blue skirt that reaches to her ankles and a small boy with white skin and black hair and a blue T-shirt showing Thomas a book with him on the cover.

Happy 81st Anniversary to the RWS! Here's my entries for #RWSESCollab which were both very fun to put together! John T. Kenney was the only artist I hadn't worked from yet so that influenced this year's book entry! #ttte #tttefanart #rws #railwayseries #thomasthetankengine #thomasandfriends

From 'Sodor: Reading Between The Lines' (2025 edition). The book describes the newly bought Austerity tank engine; his name is Walter and he wears a black livery. The Scottish Twins were promised the Austerity engine would come and help them way back in 1994, a long time ago now! The twins are still quite bitter about Walter's very delayed arrival. - This illustration is presented in the style of the pages of the standalone Railway Series storybooks (e.g. Thomas' Christmas Party) to reflect the source material not coming from the mainline series of Railway Series books.

"You miserable engine!" scolded the Stationmaster's wife. "Just look what you've done to our breakfast!" - Here is a recreation of an illustration from RWS Book 16 'Branch Line Engines'. Thomas has crashed into the Stationmaster's dining room just as his family were about to have their breakfast of ham and eggs. At least no harm came to the Best Orange Marmalade!

Important rules for the "age verification" era of the internet that we're living in: 1. Do not do age verification. 2. If you have to do age verification, cheat. Do not under any circumstances give them your real ID.

Happy Easter everyone! 🐰💙✨ As a gift to you all, here's another fun design I made! In theme with colored eggs, wear a railway headlamp in any color like your favorite engine! If you get a T-shirt, you even get a tail-lamp on the back! 👌✨ shorturl.at/oKl2j #ttte #fanart #digitalart #art #trains

This is a shirt with a headlamp based on the design from Thomas the Tank Engine. Lamps are devices that engines use at their front to light their path at night or in dark conditions. The front lamp is available on any clothing and things like mugs and stuff. The tail-lamp (in the other image) is only on the back of T-Shirts.

This is a tail-lamp based on the design seen in Thomas the Tank Engine. Tail-lamps are red lights hung on the back of engines and brake vans so that they can be seen from behind. This design is only available on the back of T-Shirts paired with the headlamp.

This is concept art, and it might change in the finalized version of his design, but I must gush. AHHHHHH THANK THE STARS They did my man justice, he looks *so* fresh. It’s a perfect blend of everything I liked about his CGI face with a dash more classic. #ThomasAndFriends #TTTE #ThomasTheTankEngine

Like they're literally reusing the CGI assets from the previous show. You're telling me they can't just Photoshop the new faces on those for their concept art? They'd rather make slop than do the barest minimum, and then put it on their actual packaging 🥲 Not a great way to promote their comeback.

Advice especially for the younger generations who DON'T wanna fall into this A/I trap, the skills you absolutely need to build: 1) The ability to deal with frustration/struggle 2) The ability to be wrong and mistaken 3) The ability to fail and be flawed These will save you big time

A westbound goods, consisting mostly of loaded coal wagons, hauled by Ivatt Mogul No 43101, trundles through Horbury and Ossett station on 4 July 1963. This former L&Y line is still open, but the station lost its passenger services in January 1970.
