#TTTE Fred was pleased that he proved everyone he wasn't a lazy faker while looking after the Sudrian at the Little Engines Weekend but Sir Handel was still annoyed that he couldn't pull any trains to due the dry conditions.

These editable nameboards have now been released on my website. You'll find them in the 'Other Assets' section. There are three sizes, each with two versions: a track object and a scenery object that can be placed next to the track. #TTTE #STMY

Three wooden boards, painted green and white, are on top of train tracks. They are leaning back at an angle and have the words 'Standard', 'Skarloey' and 'Arlesdale' written on each of them.

There's something I've been wanting to do for years, and now I've finally been able to work it into #STMY. The first two episodes of season 3 are a two-parter, and so I'm doing them as one video, with a nameboard sequence linking them. Here's some (not all) of the nameboard shots. #TTTE

A LNER C1 with a Thomas-style face is surrounded by a crowd. She is smiling. There is a nameboard in front of her saying 'Alice'.

An Austerity 0-6-0 with a Thomas-style face is surrounded by a crowd. He is smiling. There is a nameboard in front of him saying 'Sheffield'.

A woman with blonde hair wearing a business suit is standing in front of a pile of coal.

A small Garratt-type locomotive with a Thomas-style face is surrounded by a crowd. H is smiling. There is a nameboard in front of him saying 'Rowan'.

A small green tank engine with a Thomas & Friends style face is pulling a train. A high-speed train is going past in the background.

Two Thomas & Friends characters, Percy and Douglas, are side-by-side. Percy is looking cheeky, and Douglas is happy.

Here are some fanarts I made of some Austerity Engines: Wilbert, Sixteen, Walter and Sheffield (Sheffield belongs to @wildnorwester.bsky.social), for their designs and faces I was inspired by a lot of Trainz models. I hope you like it! #ThomasandFriends #RailwaySeries #DigitalArt #HumanArtist

After doing mostly modeling for the last 6 months, I've gotten back into filming for a bit. Here's some more screenshots from Percy & Toad. #TTTE #STMY

I've added three more episodes to STMY season 3, which have two new characters, Armstrong and Janet, appearing in minor roles. As such, I've put out a casting call for the two of them: youtu.be/9KfSD5c9llM. #TTTE #STMY

An updated version of Winston has been uploaded on my website. This version has been revamped with new details and a new facepack by @planetkid32.bsky.social. #ttte #stmy

A red engine with a Thomas the tank engine style face and no number is pulling four green and yellow coaches along a railway line.

After her rebuild, yes. Her tender was rebuilt from a plank trunk and only carries coal.

WildNorWester @wildnorwester.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

Haven't started yet. Got a backlog of models to get through first.

WildNorWester @wildnorwester.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

Of course, Discord would go down just as I post my first Thomas video in months. Perfect timing. 🙄

Here's my latest video, an STMY short, 'Wartime Arrival'. It was the originally planned opening scene from 'Manx Island Rescue', back when that story was a special. #TTTE #STMY youtu.be/UNkoTe_-na0?...

I've already got him mostly worked out.

000

WildNorWester @wildnorwester.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Still recent, considering how long I've been doing this.

110

WildNorWester @wildnorwester.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

I've already got Winston as that red engine.

WildNorWester @wildnorwester.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

LNWR Experiment class. Still haven't worked out his name yet.

WildNorWester @wildnorwester.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Experiment class 4-6-0. Still working out name and details.

WildNorWester @wildnorwester.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Alfred's creator, Skarloey123, was convicted of some rather nasty crimes.

WildNorWester @wildnorwester.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Yep. I used him years ago, maybe even a decade (I've been doing this too long 🙂), way before any of this came out.

WildNorWester @wildnorwester.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

As I said on Discord, I'm unpersoning him, in the Soviet sense.

WildNorWester @wildnorwester.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Nope. I've already got 87546. 98462 is all new.

WildNorWester @wildnorwester.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

I like making the models. In fact, another reason I'm doing this is so I can make another one.

130

WildNorWester @wildnorwester.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Given recent events, I'm considering retconning Alfred out of my series, and replacing him with an OC for 98462. #STMY #TTTE

WildNorWester @wildnorwester.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Nope. My take on Sodor is pretty much already set up, before any of this new information came out.

WildNorWester @wildnorwester.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

I've already got a listing like that, it's how I keep track of the voice cast.

WildNorWester @wildnorwester.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

Yep. Diesel and Caden are S1 and S2.

Those are the extra air pipes the class 09s had for moving electric trains around on the Southern Region.

I also did their TV series liveries, as class 08 diesels. #ttte #stmy (2/2).

Here's a closer look at my Sidney and Paxton models, with faces by @therealtrampy.bsky.social. After BR was privatised, they went into industrial service for a bit, before being bought by the North-West Railway. #ttte #stmy (1/2)

Those look neat. That's a Micro-Trains bay window caboose in N scale on the right, isn't it? I've done that kit, myself.

WildNorWester @wildnorwester.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

They'll be purchased during season 3.

A 'turn' is a short train that leaves a yard, delivers trucks, picks up others and returns to the yard it departed from. In this photo taken at Barrow-in-Furness, we see NWR S4, Paxton, leaving with a turn for Crovans' Gate while NWR S3, Sidney, shunts the yard. #TTTE #STMY

Been playing Wonders of Sodor lately. Overall? I LIKE IT! One from the RWS/TVS and another from that pays homage to @wildnorwester.bsky.social .

The scene based on The Great Race story between Thomas and Bertie.

This is based on a scene that was done by WilNorWester’s earliest episode stories in his Sodor: The Early Years.

Excellent storytelling my good sir!

WildNorWester @wildnorwester.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

That's one thing that I've noticed in this game. Their expressions often don't match the scene. When I played the 'Leaves' story, James was looking smug after not being able to climb the hill.
