Words cannot describe how blown away and grateful I am by the love and support shown lately with James and overall. Thank you all! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
A James project video script will be worked on very soon!
Ok interesting story here
I came into an English class at my school. At the very front of the class right where I sit is a TWR Molly with no tender. I asked the teacher what it was doing there and apparently he said for another class he taught, you were supposed to bring (1/?)
The HiT era episodes (S8-12) were either hit or miss. Usually the latter despite my nostalgia for it
BUT all the music videos were bops to listen to and are bangers to listen too
SERIOUSLY AAA I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
Growing up is realizing how bad Henry had it in the early days
-being stuck in a tunnel for god knows how long
-being berated over a sickness he can’t control/know about on top of feeling like shit
-being told they may have to replace him
-having a horrific head on collision
UPDATE ON HENRY:
3rd time now buying one and it’s in usps limbo. Idk what to do anymore. On a more positive note, I tried a few faces and he looks really good, even not being 100% at all
currently waiting on usps to email me about his whereabouts, hoping for the best
It was very close but Edward will be the next engine modified! His whole process will start soon but may take some time (cough college).
Thanks for all the support shown on the poll and overall. You all rock ❤️❤️❤️
UPDATE ON JAMES: Briefly mentioned this in Henry thread but James’ faces were sent back as well and were given a clear coat added. Additionally 8 faces were newly added so James now has 18 expressions. Again massive thank you to
@stankengine105
Oh yeah he has brass whistle too!

ok but can we talk about how hard the instrumental section in Where Oh Where is Thomas goes. Ed Welch’s music for this era is just chef’s kiss
the riff tho omgggg
Got Daisy and Bear from
@roxaclock
as a commission and wow they’re amazing!She really did an awesome job with these and I can’t wait to use these in future projects!!
Genuinely thank you all for the help here 🙏🙏
trying to make the opening as accurate as I can so this helps A LOT (still wip as usual no watermill rn rip)
Keep in mind. This was the guy that tried to impersonate ThomasHDClassics after his channel got deleted. Also he got pissed because Connor didn’t forgive for taking his identity and vids
Someone saying they are starting their own rival Thomas fandom with the ideals of the republican Party was not personally on my 2023 bingo card but here we are
AYYY 800!!
Thank you all so much for all the support on this account, new and old.
To celebrate, here is Henry’s faces from @/ThomasTankMerch as well as a wip of Gordon’s Hill
Me and Cole (@/stankengine105) have been discussing this for a bit but on the topic of lamp irons on Henry, should he take the lamps off for the stubs or leave it the way it is? I’m so undeceive on it idkkk
I’m not so sure on my style now. Do y’all like how it is now with a room backround style? Or should I change to that regular blue sky background with the adding of faces in the coming months? Will it look off if I continue with this approach?
am i thinking too hard about this?
ok but can we just talk about how beautiful the Welcome to the Island of Sodor segment is arranged. Seriously, it’s so peaceful and relaxing while telling you all about Sodor. Always loved this segment
Last night I was watching S6’s episodes with the new HiT music added when it dawned on me that Angelis provided new narration for these few episodes. I think he did this only for S6 which is so odd to me. Did HiT lose Angelis’ original recordings of the episodes? Anyone know why?
DONALD IS HERE. Recently got a DN Push along Donald from
@SPSplarailStore
! Looks in fantastic condition for its old age! Also got a knock off lego duckling (calling her Dilly for obvious reasons) from aliexpress and they look so in-scale and cute together!!
Its been a long hiatus but
#TheMagicTeam
is back with another story! Splatter and Dodge didn't start out with much after leaving Diesel's side. But now they get a second chance and its a lot more eventful than they expected. Find out in 'A Heart of Iron’
THE WAIT IS OVER! I have finally acquired a DN James! Got a lot of stuff like coaches and track as well! So happy that I have this as it will come useful for close up shots and will be put on display when not in use!
Was on a call earlier today with friends and we were watching Henry and the Wishing Tree. I picked up this while watching but Henry did so bad with the buffet coach, that they basically stopped using it entirely. We never see that prop ever again lol. It’s stupidly funny
IMPORTANT POLL BELOW
just got Henry coincidentally today! Very happy on how he looks. Now I’m putting a POLL below to see who YOU all want me to do next. I’m putting up for a few days cause I now have Henry and he will be the focus for now.
first time trying a bigger project like this but I made some custom 5 planks trucks! Really happy how they turned how and they look so refreshing compared to the regular 7 plank we’re all used to!
So here’s Elsbridge! Began making this set a few days ago but was busy the rest of the week. Thankfully I finished last night and I am pretty satisfied of the final product!
Here is James in completed form with removable brake pipe and whistle as well as the vans and faces Cole sent me as a bonus. Definitely going to make a discussion video on this cause there is so much more to say!!
Henry update part ?
I swapped motor/tenders and thankfully the shade difference isn’t too noticeable. Still a wip
I’m also thinking of Cole (@/stankengine105) to put vinyl lining and number on Henry’s tender Would this look off or could this still fit
SURPRISE!! I finally got around and purchased a DN Henry from
@SPSplarailStore
!! Glad to now have someone for James to interact with. In all seriousness I’m glad to have another engine in this fun range (more below if you want to look further 😄)
Question to all model makers:
When figuring out what faces you want for a given engine, do you keep it within a style of a season or branch out to different seasons/eras?
James is currently in the S3-4 face style so should I stick with consistency or pick what I would want
Departing Now is such a fun range to collect and doesn’t get much attention imo. I actually really love it and if I could, would try to continue to collect the models cause they are so good oml
AND IT’S OUT!!
Ghost Train was so fun to remake and a process to do editing wise. Very proud to have completed it doing all the voice work and editing on my own! Go check it out!!
so I making a compilation of clips for YT rn
do y’all like the sound of these guys running with music playing or does just having music playing sound more aesthetically pleasing?
would this even be possible to do with a tomy James? I’m pretty sure the faces are like 1:1 to the smokebox door but you also have to put in eyes too? idek
Well it isn’t a Christmas gift but i managed to find a tomy Knapford Station on Ebay. It was a bit expensive but well worth it in the end. Very pleased to now own this and film with it!
I’ve seen a few tweets praising the HiT Era’s music and I thought I’d add my two cents.
I actually love how in the very ending of Thomas and the Tuba, when Thomas does eventually find the Tuba player, RH builds from only the tuba playing to a the full band at the end. Like (1/2)
