So what if Makani Moana wasn't a locomotive, but HUMAN? A unique idea that I had a lot of fun translating! #art #digitalart #artistsonbluesky #humanized

Our final Photo CharTR of the year is well underway, featuring a rather dirty and worn 'Dolgoch'. A team of volunteers have carefully weathered No.2 to resemble how she was in the late 1940s, including some temporary sign writing!

In 2025 Thomas visited the Bluebell Railway to celebrate Stepney's 150th birthday! On his arrival, Stepney told him a story about the old days. (repost of a story illustration commission for Max (Terrier55Stepney)) #TheRailwaySeries #ThomasTheTankEngine

In no uncertain terms, I can safely say my first year of being a 16mm modeller has been the most wonderful experience I have ever had. Gerry may be my first loco, but certainly wonโ€™t be my last. Maybe Iโ€™ll make a video about my first year in this hobby - to show you what the experience is likeโ€ฆ

Tomorrow, the 21st of July, will mark one whole year since Gerryโ€™s first run on Llechfan - when he was little more than a 3D Printed Shell on steel wheels and roller bearings - practically a ghost..! I think you can agree he looks very smart now, running with the Horse and Cart under his own powerโ€ฆ

I was also given the wonderful opportunity to operate Gerry on the Llechfan Garden Railway, alongside some of my fellows in the 16mm NG Association, over the weekend! Below are some of my favourite shotsโ€ฆ (Feat. Enfys and Lucy, owned by @mrjoj.bsky.social)

Today I returned from North Wales, and bade farewell to Little Engines 2026 - an event I absolutely loved from start to finish! The @talyllyn.co.uk is a railway with charm, character and heart. If you havenโ€™t already, I highly recommend you visit!

My first fully assembled kit! This is another railway-specific kit; WW&F Caboose 320. The original unit was drawn up in the old days of the railway, but never completed, so it's satisfying to know that the railway was able to continue the legacy!

My last whole 009 kit that I have to showcase, a Maine Two-Footer clerestory roof coach! The funniest thing to me is how long it is when I printed it, it feels almost bizarre ๐Ÿ˜†This doesn't have an interior, however, it might be something to think of for the future! ๐Ÿ‘€

The time has come and I can finally share it, here was my part in the #RWSEScollab for the 81st Anniversary of The Railway Series! Mary, the new tidmouth pannier pilot shunting coaches for Gordon.

Here's my entry to our #RWSEScollab celebrating the anniversary of The Railway Series! In a previous year's collab I'd been assigned the book 'Branch Line Engines' and had illustrated for every story but the final - I decided to rectify that ๐Ÿ˜ #TheRailwaySeries #RWSfanart

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
