Dan

Might be worth getting a drink and a snack for this one :) youtube.com/watch?v=eTpsNu…

@GScaleSodor I adore him

Railways are no good. Turn 'em into roads! 😠

Hi. I’ve written some ramblings about Favourite Characters and Awdry 5! I’d be really pleased if you’d take a look! Cheers! docs.google.com/document/d/1-_…

Get dressed, ye merry gentlemen, let nothing ye dismay! For it is Christmas, Christmas, Christmas. Christmas, Christmas Day! It’s Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Day… It is Chri-hi-hi-hi-hi-hi-histmas day, Chrissymas Day, it is Chriiiiiiiistmas Day!

But if you want a bit of 2025 Christmas Dan, I read Thomas' Christmas Party(!) for the 80th Anniversary Podcast(!) in the Awdry Study(!) earlier this year. What you can't see, behind the camera, is Ian McCue wedged between a filing cabinet and bookcase. youtube.com/watch?v=Yilew8…

I'm glad you enjoy them - feels weird not to be frantically editing tonight tbh. Making those stories ended up very much a part of my Christmas traditions haha

Merry Christmas to all you lovely people! 😄 To celebrate the season, we've released our first ever original story. Link in the comments 😸

Carl Reiner gave Rob Reiner a copy of The Princess Bride, and Rob Reiner loved it and its father/son love story so much he turned it into a movie (with a grandfather and grandson). Three days before Carl’s death in 2020, he and Rob reenacted the final scene and “As you wish”

Really proud to have written this with my friend @the_chairlord , it came from an off-handed 'what-if' conversation in a call one night and grew into something really fun! Comments are already removed but please share your thoughts in the community post. See you at the premiere!

Please join me in about two hours for the premiere of the music I made for The NWR Stories - 1983. This one was a lot of fun and I hope you enjoy a behind the scenes look at how this film was made! youtube.com/watch?v=H5ErQ9…

On YouTube now! youtube.com/playlist?list=…

The NWR Stories | 1983 youtube.com/watch?v=C9gkX9…

As part of Railway 200, @HistoricEngland has launched a Blue Plaque in Stroud today, honouring children’s author and creator of Thomas the Tank Engine, the Rev. Wilbert Awdry OBE. He first started writing the Railway Series of books in the 1940s and Thomas is still enjoyed across the globe today. The national blue plaque was unveiled at Rodborough Avenue where the Rev. Awdry lived for over 30 years by his daughter Veronica Chambers.

We just want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has watched for getting 'Sir Handel' to over 100k views! We're also very excited to say that thanks to the efforts of @Sodormail1992, @PULLMANLINER & @RadioTaGa the video now has accurate Japanese subtitles - ありがとう!

@SleeperAgent01 @TracksideNWR15 I've always thought that Thomas would be enough of a draw on his own to not need other guests :P

@DanielLongEAP @TracksideNWR15 For a larger tank engine would it be possible to get a sufficiently big lorry into the area? Regardless can't really see it happening over other small guests.

@SleeperAgent01 @TracksideNWR15 ...or just put it on some temporary track in the Yard :P I very much wanted Thomas to visit, but it would have been a logistical and legal nightmare to work out haha

@TracksideNWR15 Should add there is now a short bit of line for the CR wagon in its place, but it's not possible to lift a steam engine in the same way. Perhaps it would be possible to connect up a larger stretch in the fullness of time, but it's pretty rare to rail transport tank engines now.

Just found 20 or so of these A3 posters in a folder. I think they were a gift when I left primary school - or perhaps my teachers thought I'd appreciate them more than the bin would..! I assume it was a promotional thing. Did anyone else see these about?

Look who's back... A big thank you to our volunteers for a fantastic effort to get Alf 'running well' again! #TalyllynRailway #DieselPower #Morethanmeetstheeye

I remember when we shared the weekend with the beer festival in 2021..! I'm immeasurably proud of everyone who has contributed in any capacity. But we couldn't have made it happen without people from all over the world who want to see and share in what we do.

We did a thing! 📸 @nattles124

Attend if you can! youtube.com/watch?v=lP1Yei…
