It's incredible seeing what Thomas fans can do. As some of you may or may not know, there's an event that's been held for the past 5 years at the Talyllyn Railway (Which inspired the Skarloey Railway) called the Awdry Extravaganza. This is the final one for the foreseeable future, and for the 80th Anniversary of The Railway Series, the railway made a live action adaptation of Sir Handel, a story from Four Little Engines! It's incredible seeing a real locomotive telling a story that we all grew up on. And it's all told by an unheard narration from the Reverend himself! I love this community, I love these stories, and I love the fact that I can share them all with you.

See you all again in half a year!

80 years ago, to this day, shortly after the end of World War II, the reverend Wilbert Awdry released a book detailing the adventures of Three Railway Engines. Their names were Edward, Henry and Gordon. These stories were originally made to entertain his son, Christopher, while he was sick in bed with measles. Neither had any idea of the impact those simple stories would have on the world nearly a full century after they were conceived.

The Railway Series and Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends is a major part of my life. It taught me how to be kind, how to be creative, how to look out for the smallest details. It’s a major reason why I’m so attracted to film and content creation, why I’m so detail oriented. Without the existence of them, I more than likely wouldn’t have an online presence. No matter what happens in my life, no matter if I’m having a bad day, I can always read a little story, or pop on a single episode, and the world starts to feel a little brighter again.

I don’t have anything planned for the day, but I suggest everyone to go out into the world and be kind to one another. Go and check out the fan base and their videos and artwork, their stories and models. It’s a special day, and you oughta go out and see the world.

And here it is! After so many years of speculation, rumors, hoaxes and recreations, the original 1983 pilot of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends is here! So happy Ian McCue and Mattel went back and restored everything they could for this, we now have some official model footage in 4K! This is such an amazing thing to watch, some of it is even better than the official season 1 episode in my opinion! Just an incredible thing to see. Here's to you, Britt. I know this would've made her happy to see happen.

It’s finally here! Last year, I helped contribute to a FNAF retrospective by submitting SFM animations and renders, as well as some pixelart for a special sequence near the end. After a few delays, it’s finally here! Everyone go and enjoy!

I'll be uploading a sequel to an older video series of mine, this time in 4K. It takes my PC only about 16 minutes to render 26 minutes of 4K footage, wow! Awesome! Check out the first video if you'd like.

Britt Allcroft, one of the creators of the Thomas the Tank Engine television series, has passed away at the age of 81. I could make a big tribute video, or a touchy video reflecting on it, and perhaps I will in the future, but it wouldn’t feel right if I did at this exact moment.

Growing up, Thomas always remained a comfort show for me. Season 3 in particular, with George Carlin’s US narration, was my personal favorite. The show always inspired me to look at the finer details, to always imagine a perfect little world. Seeing all the details of each and every prop was mind blowing, even as a kid. To say the show was magnificent to me would be an understatement.

I know a lot of people probably find an adult still loving Thomas the Tank Engine weird. A lot of people probably find my enjoyment of it to be annoying. To that I say “Whatever”. The show, and Britt Allcroft, made me the person I am today. Without Thomas, my love of filmmaking wouldn’t be here. It all starts with that.

Britt Allcroft lived a long life, and was a fantastic woman associated with television. For that, I’m not shedding tears. Instead, I’m reflecting on all the good she did. All the hearts she touched. All the imagination she inspired. Google “Thomas fan series” and you’ll get a million billion results. The mark she’s left on this world cannot be understated. No one will ever forget her, just like how no one will ever forget Thomas.

Working on my next video! I have to babysit later today, so I'm trying to get the opening scene done before then. Editing is so much smoother now, and the improved visuals with my GPU is an added bonus! It'll look better than ever!

Testing out Trainz today, with VSync off, I'm getting up to 180 frames! This is a great upgrade from my old setup! Expect videos to be way smoother!
