2000th post! Here's to another thousand. To celebrate, here is something I have been meaning to do for a while but only got around to yesterday. Duck at Arlesburgh Harbour.

Omg accurascale watched my Duck research video and are making a 5753 in early BR black - the engine I found to be the real Duck in the livery he would have worn on arrival on Sodor - and reference this in the product discription!!

We've had some say they're having difficulty in finding the link to the live stream tickets. So with that in mind, if you're after purchasing for the live stream then please follow this link. Looking forwards to the event now with under two weeks to go! eventbrite.com/e/an-evening-…

Morning everyone, does anyone know if the builder/year built details added to the wiki in February are correct? I don't think there is any reference to either in the Awdry Study tweets, or the Talyllyn Awdry Extravaganza video with Tim Dunn

Afternoon everyone, new Research Video going live tomorrow, it would be lovely if you joined in and watched! youtu.be/x5fcNnaAWiU?si=q15d…

This month I have been narrating hard to find old Wilbert and Christopher Awdry books every other day. Today's is the last one. Next week, my Pug RWS Research video is coming out. What good timing 😁 youtu.be/jXrxWPxsd-E

Good morning Thomas fans! Due to huge demand, Full Steam Ahead and Splot have turned the upcoming An Evening With Christopher Awdry: 85 Years Of Letting Off Steam show into a global LIVE STREAMING event, taking place on 25th June! eventbrite.com/e/an-evening-…

Now including LIVE STREAM! Splot and Full-Steam-Ahead are thrilled to present ’85 Years Of Letting Off Steam’ An Evening With Christopher Awdry. Hosted by the legendary Pete Waterman, Christopher will be joined by very special guests — TV show composer Mike O’Donnell, illustrator Clive Spong, and narrator Mark Moraghan — and we’d love for you to join us in a celebratory deep dive into Christopher’s life, covering some of the things you may know, and some you certainly won’t! Featuring never publicly seen before artefacts and media, this is one night you won’t want to miss! We’re thrilled to announce that the event will now be LIVE STREAMED! To purchase tickets to the live event, or the live stream please click on the button below. (Please note: VENUE CHANGE. Due to circumstances beyond our control, the show will now take place at London’s CONWAY HALL and not the EVENTIM APOLLO. All tickets remain valid, and will be transferred to the new theatre. For those attending, special limited edition treats will be waiting for you, which will not be available anywhere else!) We look forward to seeing you there!

I have four or five more of these coming this month... then a new research video maybe? youtu.be/fq2AkTPQkiY

Been snowed under recently with a few things so forgot to post some recent videos, have a look if they take your fancy! youtu.be/fKnLRjV4VQU?si=14Ve…

Edgar Hodges was so good. Here's a clearer copy of his 4MT painting

As promised, here's some of the selection of Reverend Awdry's Record collection, kindly donated to us for the video by Christopher. Believe it or not Christopher has never looked inside this box until only recently! Looking forward to showing everyone some gems and treasures at '85 Years Of Letting Off Steam!' Music is called 'Lucky Day' courtesy of Dresden the Flamingo.

I love all the wholesome Awdry stuff we're getting at the moment! So excited for the event in June 😁 youtu.be/rL72x2NRH4o
