New Video from the Awdry Extravaganza 5 Trip!

Part 2 has been edited and can be seen here. I still have plenty more Welsh narrow gauge footage to put together, but I'm working on some new animations at the moment which should be enjoyable

I feel like whenever I make something besides the train animations, it gets very little viewership, and that makes me feel like I've done something wrong. If you're wondering why I haven't made that much train art in the last year or so, that's primarily why. I understand that most of my audience is here for train related content, and I definitely still like making it, but, I sometimes feel as though I'm discouraged from making anything else.

That extends to my live action videos as well, I also notice those tend to perform poorly even when they're about train-related stuff.

Is it something about me appearing on camera or in narrations that you folks don't like?

I've had this feeling for a while but it only came into words when, last night, some folks in a train group chat described my Isambard Inkblot cartoons as boring. Maybe they are. But I put a lot of time and effort into them, with the hope of being entertaining.

Was very nice meeting so many of you in Wales this past week at the Awdry Extravaganza - Isambard Inkblot enjoyed filming a documentary, and Shelby got to visit Ffarquahar Station on Thomas's branch line. Though Thunderbird 2 was called to action at one point.

Isambard Inkblot and I had a go behind "Talyllyn" today, not a bad performance for a 160-year-old loco!

All steam locomotives have a sense of personality, but this one is about the "happiest" I have encountered.

A few little friends will be coming with me to the Awdry Extravaganza in Wales!

Shelby has been tuned up and is ready for service

Isambard Inkblot has had his tie straightened

Sally the saddle tank has yet to be painted up and detailed, but she was too eager to come

I aim to set up a portable "Inglenook" puzzle, if you come and see me, would you want to have a go at rearranging the cars?

The latest animation is still in production, but, to keep you all from waiting too long, I've got another model train video in the works as well. All of you N&W fans are going to enjoy this one!
