My Two AwdryEx traditions remain unbroken: 1) Fail to get my Wilbert model on the Farquhar layout, 2) a photo with Veronica Chambers.

Fun fact: I later found out that Neil Leighton (10LEIGH10) and I had been bidding against one another on Lady Hatt. I offered to sell it to him for 25k but he only offered a packet of crisps. A Cheese and onion one at that!

"Not the snow again!!" Wailed Alf as he was charged into the heavy drift....

Oh AI. You do disappoint.

The AwdryEx piano duet. (I must apologise for I forget their names, but they are both incredibly talented people.)

I feel very lucky to now own a pair of offical Thomas Props :) Massive thank you to @/RailInspector for selling me these to me!

Of course there had to be a train at the wedding... Max (Terrier55Stepney) knows how to make an entrance.

A huge congratulations to Max and Holly for their marriage on Sunday. Such a perfect couple and a wonderful day had celebrating. Max (Terrier55Stepney)

Who let the dogs out? Stepney made a break for it at Sheffield Park this afternoon.

I don't think was enough noise. Try again in five year's time. Cavalcade of locomotives to see out the Bluebell Railway 65th anniversary gala.

Why is this upsetting people? She passed away and her family are no doubt trying to reduce the amount of things they have in their care. If anything, be glad there's an opportunity to own something here and that it didn't go in the bin.

It's unnerving how many scam adverts are appearing on YouTube these days. "This secret technique to make millions" has been about a while but now it's things like "wonderful realistic puppy/panda toy" with clearly AI generated imagery.

We knew it was good - but did anyone realise just HOW good? Thanks everyone for supporting not just the Talyllyn, but the local community too. A railway is more than just the trains - it's the people it connects with along the way, quite literally.

I forgot to repost this when it came out, but if you wanted to see some of my drone footage from the finale then check out Max's video.
