Using the new road plates, I can get around the need for the 8x16 tiles, and get a bit more adhesion where needed. Though some colors are certainly more difficult to work in
Visited Rodborough Parish Church today, after reading an article about the Rev. Awdry, to find the stained glass window in the church where he was a minister.

Just by chance we spotted Thomas on a truck going west on Highway 2. The truck pulled into the gas station at Adolph so we grabbed a few shots. Gus was excited (I was more excited by DMIR 215 in storm light). Thomas had just completed two very successful weekends on the NSSR.

We took our three-year-old grandson to see his favorite engine.

We went on a Santa Special train ride today. It was an historic event because it's the first passenger train to run from Rushden station since 1969 (I believe that's the date the chap said). We went up and down the half mile of track that the RHTS are currently able to operate and my son, the train-mad Thomas fan, loved it. He got to meet Santa, had a ride on the merry-go-round, saw a traction engine, and met the real Santa!!!
The Narrow Gauge Railway Museum Trust at the Talyllyn Railway’s Wharf Station are custodians of the Rev W Awdry’s model Ffarquhar layout and we were lucky to see it running.

HOG Butcher for the World,
Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat,
Player with Railroads and the Nation's Freight Handler;
Stormy, husky, brawling,
City of the Big Shoulders:
They tell me you are wicked and I believe them, for I
have seen your painted women under the gas lamps
luring the farm boys.
And they tell me you are crooked and I answer: Yes, it
is true I have seen the gunman kill and go free to
kill again.
And they tell me you are brutal and my reply is: On the
faces of women and children I have seen the marks
of wanton hunger.
And having answered so I turn once more to those who
sneer at this my city, and I give them back the sneer
and say to them:
Come and show me another city with lifted head singing
so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning.
Flinging magnetic curses amid the toil of piling job on
job, here is a tall bold slugger set vivid against the
little soft cities;
Fierce as a dog with tongue lapping for action, cunning
as a savage pitted against the wilderness,
Bareheaded,
Shoveling,
Wrecking,
Planning,
Building, breaking, rebuilding,
Under the smoke, dust all over his mouth, laughing with
white teeth,
Under the terrible burden of destiny laughing as a young
man laughs,
Laughing even as an ignorant fighter laughs who has
never lost a battle,
Bragging and laughing that under his wrist is the pulse.
and under his ribs the heart of the people,
Laughing!
Laughing the stormy, husky, brawling laughter of
Youth, half-naked, sweating, proud to be Hog
Butcher, Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with
Railroads and Freight Handler to the Nation.

New warehouse at the docks - interior view. A REALLY last minute build, but I'm quite happy with the overall look.
A close up of Ryan who received his face 2 days before showtime. Still in need of his pinstripes, but what fun to build in purple!
Determined to produce a poop in the toilet and thus secure a Thomas the Tank Engine model train, Alex rests his eyes for just a moment.
The secondary shed from last year, along with the jet engine in storage. Was rapt when this hidden piece was spotted by a young fan!
Inspired by a few designs out there, and the addition of some newer pieces available, I figured I was ready to design a proper looking Thomas
The proportions are a little stretched in this 8-W scale, but it would fit in well with 8-W layouts
Revised Percy to better fit the profile of the final CG iteration of the character.
Had to do a lot of work to adjust to a 1/4 plate offset so the boiler sits flush on the running plate
A very cold, crisp and clear morning at the East Anglian Railway Museum on 11th December 2022 meant that "Thomas" was putting up a very fine exhaust.
