2000th post! Here's to another thousand. To celebrate, here is something I have been meaning to do for a while but only got around to yesterday.
Duck at Arlesburgh Harbour.
Day 3: Sir Handel liked his new name, but not necessary his new colour.
"Back on our old railway, passengers could tell us engines apart. Now I get called Peter Sam all the time!"
Because of the wonderful recent MSR chat, I thought I'd update this chart to correct the mistake I made with Mountaineer's withdrawal date, and add the Talyllyn and Skarloey engines as they were both of some influence to the Mid Sodor.
Explain action of chart is in the thread...
Day 2: Rheneas listened to Sir Handel and Peter Sam's stories with interest.
"I think I'd like to visit the Talyllyn Railway too," he told his driver. "It would be a fine thing to see Dolgoch again, and experience the sights of another Great Little Railway."
An Edit a day for a month take 2...
Day 1: Skarloey was honoured to take the VIPs in the newly refurbished saloon coach.
Lots of fun ideas here!
If you could pick a pair of engines to be added to Wonders of Sodor after Henry and Toby...
41%Edward and BoCo
31%Duck and Oliver
10%Donald and Douglas
19%Daisy and Mavis

We'd like to thank the creators of Vicars town creations for seeing sense and now removing the video and its links. We've also received an apology from them, which is gratefully accepted and would like to thank everyone from the fandom for helping to get hold of them and consider the matter closed.
We do understand the excitement that Christophers event generated, and that some could not make that night. Which is why we are working hard with the unlikely fandom to get the DVD of the show, with many unseen interviews ready. Please be patient, we're getting there.

Really annoyed to find Christophers event footage from 85 years of letting off steam has been put online illegally. If anyone has heard of Vicarstown creations, and know who they are, can you please ask them to message us and explain their actions. Sorry to have to put this on here, but it seems to be the only way to get social media users accountable for their actions rather than hide behind the keyboard. We and Christopher are trying to get his books back into print, and things like this only help to weaken our cause. Fans, by all means express yourself, use the stories, have at it. But please don't think it's okay to steal others work and post it online 'For archival purposes'.
Me: not feeling too well today 😕
Tiger Moth: don't give up!
Boulder: hang in there
Iron 'Arry: we're here for you
Me: 😁
Is there a name for these curved parts that run from the top of the bufferbeam to the base of the smokebox?
I have had a few requests for RWS Research merch recently, so I made a few graphics of some of my favourite character discoveries and added them here is you're interested! Six to collect haha
Enjoy your weekends 🙂
