From my copy of Trains Magazine, January 1999: "Thomas" made his debut at the Strasburg Railroad on the September 25-27, 1998 weekend. He ran on the end of quarter-mile shuttles several times each hour, with motive power supplied by a GE 44-tonner diesel. 📸 Anthony J Diyenna

Just arrived in the mail: a Talyllyn Railway postcard of Edward Thomas approaching Rhydyronen. Wilbert Awdry would send one to C. Reginald Dalby, which he used when illustrating the book Four Little Engines!

I would like to add that current sales from the book will be supporting the Whitewater Valley Railroad, who are currently recovering from severe flooding.

Today I received a Classic Toy Trains magazine that included a full photo of one of the prototypes for the TWR 22-piece stater set! We previously only had a cropped version showing just Thomas from a catalog.

"Trust Thomas" A recreation of a classic Thomas & Friends episode, completely animated and rendered in @Blender. This project has been my most ambitious yet and I hope you enjoy it. Credits are at the end of the episode. Watch the full episode here: youtu.be/JLcvMEF52bA

It’s surreal to see merchandise of D-Fusit in the big 2026. Bachmann is making some great products in their 009 range. Also a few people asked so here are a couple of pics of the Bachmann Sir Handel with the S4 prop.

Another Day Out with Thomas shirt pick up, featuring Owen Bell artwork! This one is dated 1998, which I believe is the first year the event officially began in the United States, and makes this shirt all the more special to me!
Maxim@clickclacktrackApr 20
Another addition to the collection I’m very excited about: a Day Out with Thomas shirt from 2002!
