Here's to 9 years of being a Youtuber!
Sorry I don't have anything special planned for this event, the best I got is this Title generated poster for next year's movie.

I figure it's time for a grand reveal for this season: We're having another Arc!

I give you: The Modern Sodor Arc!
Where Thomas catches up on the lecture of Sodor's present appearance.
Now this one's going to be a tad different, where there'll be filler episodes within this arc. So for this season: If an episode premieres, it's related to the arc.

So yesterday, I watched The Unlucky Tug’s latest video. There was a part of the video that made him question how the rolling stock’s alive despite not having a system of propulsion (or heart as he sees it) within. Well, while he said it's purpose that makes the rolling stock alive, here’s my speculation on how rolling stock’s alive:

You have wooden bodied stock, like old trucks & coaches. They were made from trees. & trees are considered living things. So I think the sentience of said trees are somehow carried over to the rolling stock.
Now what about metallic rolling stock? Like tankers, mineral wagons, modern coaches, & hoppers? Well, metal comes from raw ores from the earth & smelted down to any shape or form. So in a way, as he said, "There's something in the soil.".
Maybe space particles from a long, long, long time ago, similar to the presumed one from the 2003 Belgium election went into the soil with abilities to bring things to life. But that's only speculation.
In the end, Earth is alive. Its plants, animals, & of course humans are alive. We all do & make stuff that give us life, so who's to say machines (& most buildings) can't have the same treatment?

This idea blew on XTwitter, so why not share here?
A couple nights ago, I had a brain blast. A Sudrian name for the Blue Mountain Quarry:

Well, today could've been a tad better for our narrow gauge friends.

* Rusty & Fred had their work cut out for them since Sir Handel couldn't pull any trains because of the hot weather & the lineside fires.

* A couple trains cancelled.
& Livestream's been rescheduled for tomorrow 7am CST

Not to mention that "Mystery engine" turned out to be Awdry's Gordon model who hasn't been seen since 2001 apparently.

Well, you know what they say: No news is good news. If there's 1 good thing to take from today, it's that the trucks are back again. Sammy, Steve, even Blobfish. & we have some new truck friends too: A green metal one, a grey metal one with freckles, & a conflat. Hopefully we'll know their names tomorrow, someone on XTwitter called the 1st 2 Greg & Freddy.

I don't know what good this'll do. I don't know if it's on my end, but for some reason when I post a group of pictures here, they don't show the full images. But I guess it's worth a try.

During production of my 3rd RWS Book, I've been on an LNER Class A1 funny name kick thanks to Train Of Thought. So here's a collage of Gordon's siblings that made appearances.

In 1 week, we’ll join Sir Handel, Rusty, & Fred for the Little Engines weekend at Talyllyn Railway in Wales! From pulling trains to unveiling a mystery engine!
Alrighty folks, step right up & place your final bets! Who would this engine possibly be? Personally, while a bit of a stretch, I believe it's a Brendam Push-Pull engine.

(Oh yeah, & Karla the mechanic’s here too! Promoting Splatoon Raiders on the 23rd!)
