#TAFcollab2025 Neil of Fortune Rusty gets frustrated at the thought of the Bluebell valley line closing when Stepney returns to the mainland. While searching for another engine to run the line, he finds someone many thought was lost to time... Happy 41st Thomas and Friends! (story in alts)

“It’s not fair,” complained Rusty. “I do love a good run through the bluebell valley at springtime. But Stepney’s gone home, you see. The line will close without him for sure!”
“It’s no use getting grouchy about it.” said Skarloey. “Being a crosspatch will get you nowhere, it never did for me when I was a young engine.”
The little engine thought back to long ago.
“It’s a shame Neil isn’t around these days. I’m sure he would love to run that line. He’s not very strong you see, not like the big engines we see. He was taken out of service years ago, bless his soul.”

So off they set, past the bleak and brooding line of diesels. They soon realised that the box shaped engine letting off steam was not a diesel. All eyes glared at the little engines.
“Where is he going?” the diesels hissed.
“Just down the line!” gulped Rusty.
The diesels took his word and their growls subsided. Rusty quickly guided Neil out of the yard, leaving an eerie chorus of engines purring contentedly in their wake.
“We’ve done it!” cried Neil through exhausted puffs.

When Skarloey opened his eyes he was amazed!
“Well bless my soul!” he exclaimed. “If it isn’t Neil!”
“I wouldnae be here if not for yer wee friend.” said Neil.
Skarloey looked at the little diesel.
“You never,”
“I did!” grinned Rusty. “Neil will be perfect for the Bluebell valley.”
“You lucky old engine!” chuckled Skarloey. “Fancy being saved so long after retirement.”
The manager arrived to see what all the commotion was about. He was delighted to see Neil and promised his immediate restoration.

"Using every ounce of steam and strength, Stephen pulled and strained against the heavy ballast trucks. Rex and Mike watched in amusement.

Wheels gripping the rails, his funnel shot out clouds of smoke high into the air, showering all over Duck, who was taking a passenger train. Poor Duck!"

A very late tribute to the late Britt Allcroft, but after the recent auction, I was inspired to do my own version of the famous Lady painting from Thomas and the Magic Railroad. I'm very satisfied with the end result. It's exactly how I wanted it. #thomasthetankengine #ttte #fanart #thomasandfriends

Full image fanart illustration of a painting of the character 'Lady' from the Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends film 'Thomas and the Magic Railroad.' The setting is a brownish yellow, grassy hillside with small red and white flowers dotted about. A small magenta steam locomotive with four wheels, a purple roof and frame, and gold smokebox and lining, with her name 'Lady' in gold script lettering on her sides is climbing the hill towards the sunrise in the background, which has fluffy pinkish-white clouds and lilac purple colored mountains with a bit of snow on their peaks. Smoke swirls out of the steam locomotive's chimney against the medium blue sky with a sun coating it in yellow from the left side. In the bottom right in script black lettering says 'In loving memory of Britt Allcroft' - indicating it is for the passed on creator of the television series adaptation of Thomas the Tank Engine a.k.a. The Railway Series books.

"You can stay there," the Fat Controller continued, "'til we are ready. Perhaps it'll teach you to be more careful with trucks." 'Percy sighed.' Here is my entry for #JustLikeAwdry for 2025! This is far from my best work as I quickly ran out of time, but I'm happy I was able to get it done at all.

Full color photograph of a small light green saddle tank steam locomotive with a red chassis, four driving wheels, and red stripes on his boiler, with a yellow no. '6' outlined in red behind his cab and a black roof on top with yellow circle windows for the crew to see through. He is perched atop a black open wagon sitting on the railway tracks lettered "G W" for Great Western, as well as labels "54101" and "10 Tons". The locomotive is Percy from the Thomas the Tank Engine/Railway Series franchise, as he has a sad expression and is covered in dirt. Beside the wagon and next to the tracks is a pile of stones spilled from it. In front of the truck is a black suited gentleman, the Fat Controller/Sir Topham Hatt, scolding and pointing at Percy for his predicament. In the background is a small blue and gray lorry/truck next to a small warehouse. The sky is blue and the background shows many green hills and trees. The scene is based off the story 'Percy's Predicament' from the second season of the TV series, and the fourth story in book no. 16 "Branch Line Engines."

Tidmouth, August 1985 The Thin Clergyman has invited a few visitors. The visitors were filmmakers, a smartly dressed man in a hat, and a lady dressed in lovely blue dress. All were followed by men with cameras and asked to meet the Engines. All of whom were very pleased.
