Reposted by RailRaider25The Art Of Ash ( COMMS OPEN) @theartistash.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Something I rarely see in the world of railway art is human engagement with the machines.

RailRaider25 @railraider25.bsky.social · 18/09/2026By the way, just so folks are aware... For the most part, British Trains travel on the LEFT side, not the Right. Same with British Drivers on the road. I've seen it happen a lot in fan content, and seeing it now in the recent reboot... Now you know 👍 182
RailRaider25 @railraider25.bsky.social · 18/09/2026...well, anyway. At least Henry and (hopefully) Edward will play a more active role than in the last reboot. That's something, right? 😅 1114
RailRaider25 @railraider25.bsky.social · 16/09/2026A thought for tonight: While many have written Edward as an infallible character, there are few who have actually explored what flaws he might have.
