Misty Islands Logging Company No.2 Bernard --- Misty Islands Scenic Railway No.2 Bernard or "Bash"

One of the two surviving yarding locomotives operated by the Misty Islands Logging Company, Bernard has been there from almost the beginning, and though he didn't help lay the original tracks to the first logging camp, he did help build much of the rest of the railway. He and Ferdinand took great pride in their work, and hated the implication that it was "bad" or "spaghetti" or "so tightly curved that Rex, Mike, and Bert would clench their spring rigging".

There is a misconception that Bash and Dash (David) are twins, but though the share the same overall layout and are very close friends and get up to the same kind of mischief that one would expect from the china clay twins, David and Bernard have some significant differences which will be shown eventually.

This format of locomotive--a small 0-4-0, often geared, with a yarding winch on the front, were very common on the Misty Islands Logging Railroad. Unfortunately, only two survive.

@ TTTE fandom how do you differentiates the difference engine types in your humanizations. Like what are the difference to your Steamies and diesels appearance or physical wise?

Hey TTTE Tumblr - specifically TTTE art Tumblr - I have a question:

This is Western Maryland Scenic 1309 - note the enormous air compressors on either side of the smokebox (the number is between them).

Those are there because the C&O (who originally built it) had very narrow clearances on their line, and couldn't have the bulky compressors on the side of the locomotive.

Here's my question: if this train had a face/was a TTTE character, where would it be, and what would it look like?

Would the face be smushed in between the compressors, cutting off all peripheral vision?

Would the compressors just be somewhere else?

Would the eyes be... on the compressors?

Something else?

Let me know what you think! Because I honestly don't know.

Some wintry Thomas gifs for all your gif needs! I think the beautiful sets and scenery in the original series deserve to be showcased- it was no small feat to create these wonderful and whimsical scenes! 

The people who lent their talent to the creation of this show were very talented indeed :’)

CONTINUATION ON MY PREVIOUS CALL OUT POST

I didn’t want to go here AGAIN, but engines-and-gin [new username and I have them blocked so I can’t fully tag them] is making posts about the situation

They’ve been harassing me and others for *months*, this whole situation started in early to mid 2020.

It started with this person following me and several others [@merciresolution included] and when we investigated there blog initially [as one does when followed by someone you don’t know, you take a few glaces at there blog], we found it full of spam about Thomas characters being age changed as infants and this person obsessing over them to a very high degree, including reblogs of posts that where not clear if they where from age play or agre sources [and this whole situation was taxing on me enough to begin with to do any further digging], there where also untagged posts with nsfw and major triggers [blood, needles, violent situations]. We talked to them about agre and asked them to a.) Keep it out of the main tags due to it being super sensitive and triggering to many people, an b.) To please stop refollowing people to spam there accounts with notifications, we THOUGHT the situation ended there but the person started posting on the main tag after a few weeks on a new blog, and with that they started spamming asking others to do agre role play with them while claiming they needed it for mental health reasons [they’ve claimed they have depression, severe enough they are in fear of hurting themself, but that they also refuse to talk to a mental health professional for it for various reasons]

After these events, and several attempts at reaching out to them through different channels, asking them to stop spamming other, they took a break for a few months. However, these behaviors started up again in last 2020 early 2021.

They once again started following, unfollowing, and refollowing me on my main account [this one] and @\logging-locos  every day for almost a month while I sent them several asks for them to PLEASE stop doing so, before they deleted the account in question and started up again with *another* blog, at this point I blocked them for the second time [the first time being on the first account earlier in the year]

In the interim between early 2021 and this latest, they made several new accounts, I repeatedly blocked after realizing it was the same person *over and over*

Are latest follwing was a final straw for me. Opening this persons blog and seeing Agre, untagged nsfw, and many untagged common triggers is finally taking enough of a toll on me that I cannot handle it anymore. 

Seeing them and there content is constantly putting me into bad spells of intrusive thoughts, and seeing agre not only is affecting my mental health with intrusive thoughts but ‘Age Regression’ is often a technical term used in courts or by law firms that is used against autistic adults and teenagers. Being Autistic and Neurodivergent in other ways I’ve seen ‘mental age’ and ‘age regression’ both used in the context of abusing autistic and other neurodivergent peoples. Forcing them into situations where they lose there rights as adults. It happens more than you think, and age regression and mental age are both terms that are touted by anti autistic organizations as ways to de power autistic’s and spread misinformation. Any information I’ve found about Agre as a form of therapy is either from unsourced materials on tumblr and other blogging platforms, or very specific mental health practices that I have not found to be a general consensus. As far as I’m concerned, the content I’m seeing from this blog is not a major therapeutic practice, I cannot find any research papers on the concepts, and the blurry line between Agre and Age play is very large and not one I have the mental capacity to deal with

I have a backlog of information screenshots of interactions with this person and I’m willing to share them, but I’m really exsaughted right now

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REPORT AND/OR BLOCK THE USER ENGINES-AND-GIN, BUT ALSO PLEASE STOP INTERACTING WITH THEM AND PLEASE DO NOT GO AN ANTAGONIZE OR HARASS THEM

At the end of the day, I really REALLY hope that they are just a misguided person who is dealing with some mental health issues, and just needs help, harrassing them will never help them. I may want them to stop harrassing me and others, but I’d never wish for them to get harassed in return. If we could all just leave eachother alone that’d be the ideal solution

ALOS Under the read more is some misc evidence of NSFW on there account which they CLAIMED they never posted which is STILL ON THERE BLOG UNTAGGED they’ve also [VERIFIED BY A MOD] reblogged posts from @nsfw-ttteconfessions

Hi! Like Thomas I'm also a Dancer of color, and I was injured for the better part of last year. Him being a dancer in this au really cheered me up when I was sad about it, especially since ballet is also my favorite! So I guess my question is besides ballet have you experimented with other genres of dance? My second favorite has to be hip hop atm

“Thank you for writing, I hope I answered your question. Let me know if you’re ever in Tidmouth, you could show me some routines!”

Hi-res comic because Tumblr loves to mess with my formatting x
