These FOUR Railway Engines originally wanted to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Railway Series, so they are quite pleased to be able to wish Thomas and all his friends a Very Happy 75th Anniversary! Cheers to many more years of Really Useful Adventures and Fun🎉🎈🎊🎂

Did some trainspotting this weekend 👀🚂

i just got class 40’d by ian mccue via email. wow.

So how about we look through those tapes, shall we? Findings in replies.. ✨✨ (Also to rule out any of these inevitable FAQs- there's no pilot, no '96 movie test, no Missing Coach, no model series rushes. I wish, sorry :(( ) (thanks to @/CalebC2991 for the Thomas picture!)

I'm just glad we can all work together to preserve this stuff - I fronted up 20grand out of my own savings for y'all on this, and every bit of it I helped secure is gonna go straight onto the tugsproject scanners to be uploaded for everyone to enjoy. merry early christmas 😄 💖

Today was a monumental day in the scope of preservation, both lost media and historical artifacts alike. I'm please to say we won out- BIG TIME. Between Carty and I, we extend our thanks to you, but I want to give a particular thanks to @MK_Inst. - (1/3)

It’s time for the next lesson. ✨ Here’s your first look at Russian Diesel 10 — Neil Crone’s first attempt at the character. We’ll have more samples once the audio tapes come back from being digitized. Thank you for $3,000 in donations. The magic is finally being restored.

@TheNightTrain3 Wow! Did not expect to see such an exciting update/conclusion 6+ years later! That's amazing, congrats!!!

@KingoftheTWR Several years and a pandemic later, they ALL came back! Sort of. My childhood friend had the exact same full fleet of tugs as I did and his mom was recently clearing the house now that he moved out. My parents stopped by and picked up a few things from her for me :D

Quick side step in the midst of all this nostalgia--any Theodore Tugboat fans out there???

@OGThomasFan Best I can do is Magic 😉

I found a Thomas Coke! OG exists. If only they made one that says Fan...

@Botti_Crave That's definitely him! Thomas Saves the Day!

@KingoftheTWR This dude attended the opening ceremonies of Kellsthorpe Road!

My Propstore order arrived today! 9 complete and 6 partial screen-used standard gauge scale people. Close-up pictures are attached to this thread.🧵 I haven't had the chance to figure out which episodes they all appear in, so feel free to call them out if you recognize them!

That's the body but a different head in Thomas' Milkshake Muddle

@Botti_Crave Side note, why is she (and a few other children) in short sleeves on this snowy winter day???😆

@KingoftheTWR She appears in Snow Engine, man, im Great at this

Looks like he may be this child from Chickens to School

@Botti_Crave Looks like it Follow That Flour from Series 10!

@KingoftheTWR I’m not sure which episode this is but she appears here

@Botti_Crave Aaahhh he totally is! That's so exciting, thanks so much for all your help with finding these!!!

@KingoftheTWR This is the Vicar of Wellsworth! god, i am so jealous of you.

@Botti_Crave She looked so familiar, I just wasn't placing her. Great find!

@Botti_Crave I appreciate the help 🙏

@KingoftheTWR I believe i recognize a few more and ill follow up on this post in the comin days if i remember where they’re from

@Hdnns256193 That's a pretty safe bet, I was wondering that too

@KingoftheTWR I think the schoolchildren might have been from chickens to school from season 8

@Botti_Crave Nice find! I was wondering if maybe he was one of the painters from that episode! Thanks for pointing him out! Makes him that much more special being from the Classic series! 😊

@KingoftheTWR He is! Theres your guy @KingoftheTWR :)
