For those who don’t know the Thomas 1983 pilot has been one of thomas lost media that many fans include myself been wanting to see it for years and after 40 years it’s been found, restored and now releasing tomorrow on YouTube in the Thomas and Friends channel as part the franchise’s 80th anniversary. Man this is incredible! I can’t missed this! ^_^

Edward Ponders a Sibling Reunion

BoCo: How does it feel, finding out you're not the last?

Edward: ....I'll be honest. It's been a rather mixed series of feelings.

BoCo: Oh?

Edward: On one hand... I'm happy. I'm happy my brothers and sisters meant something to the Railway they were created to serve. I'm happy that I get a chance to reconnect with them. To make amends. To really get to know them...

BoCo: ...But?

Edward: On the other, I'd already mourned. I'd come to terms with the situation. That I was the last. That I couldn't apologize, so I strived to do a little better every day. To be an engine worth being proud of. For them. For myself...

BoCo: It's conflicting?

Edward: It's terrifying. The prospect of losing them again... Could I mourn again?

BoCo: ...

Edward: ...

Edward: That said... I don't much care for Abraham teaching the twins to swear in morse.

BoCo: -bursts out laughing-

Edward: I'm serious. They now go up and down the line calling everyone they've ever disagreed with a 'miserable twat with a railway pike stuck up their arse'...

BoCo: -laughing harder-

Edward: It's quite terrible. He's older than me. He should know better.

Having been created to serve a purpose given to them by someone who was always supposed to be their superior, mimics (despite their naturally mischievous and deceitful nature) are not without their honor to duty.

Whatever that duty may be, however, is up to how they interpret their "contract".

Take Hiro for example, one of the first mimics to be "tamed" in Japan. His original owners only ever needed him to pull long trains and they expected little else from him. But, in due time, Hiro began to roam the railway grounds and even the lines to keep an eye on the perimeter.

He took on "guard duty" to ensure wild unfriendly mimics didn't encroach on his territory and potentially harm either the other railway mimics or railway staff that he now perceived as being under his care. This is what earned him the title of 'Master of the Railway'.

In another life he would have likely guarded the Lady's palace, as he's naturally inclined to protect others and locations and views it as a part of his duties. An unspoken rule of sorts.

Another example is Duncan, a rather cantankerous and somewhat unapproachable mimic. As a narrow gauge engine mimic, he's a rather peculiar sort, having none of the typical goat-like attributes that are standard to this particular class (something that's usually only shared with narrow gauge mimics who are trained for steamworks and dieselworks jobs). He's a mishmash of traits, as he used to work exclusively in industrial settings rather than up on the mountains.

He's fussy, often rude, and you'd assume he'd be caught dead before he took on extra "unpaid" work. But Duncan seems to have a morbid fascination for locating, recovering and studying historical artifacts. Particularly of the fae variety. Something about the olden days calls to him, although he'd never voice such thoughts. To date he's only mentioned his "hobby" to Rusty, but Mr. Percival seems aware of (and rather endeared by) what he gets up to when hes not on the clock.

In another life, Duncan might have had the capacity to become something more than a mere mimic, but it's doubtful whether or not he would have allowed the Lady to reconstruct him into a higher fae just to tend to her archives (and Proteus would have likely fought her if she tried).

The final example is Ryan who, among his branchline duties, seems to have been appointed as a messenger. No matter how busy he is or whether or not he's left Sodor, he always knows what's going on in the Mainland.

Unlike Percy who's more aware of human affairs dueto his mail runs, Ryan's insight pertains exclusively on mimic matters. The two often trade information as if it were a type currency, which is typical of the fae.

In another life, Ryan would have been the Lady's ideal spy. His loyalty is easily won and his eagerness to please is one he's naturally inclined to satisfy no matter how bothersome the task.

Can you do an artwork of Alpha-17 in his Phase 2 armor?

Happy 05/05/25 Everyone!

It's his very special splendid day, so James gets a strawberry shortcake as a treat! Also some star shaped shades because he's the star of the show (for today at least).

And yet another gremlin joins the Moneypot Engine Team! This time it's James the brains for his very special day!

Very splendid lad indeed!

As per usual with these, I transplanted the Thomas Minis James model's face. Like Thomas I had to slightly nudge the proportions to fit, and even then the smokebox looks a little chunky. Curiously the base turned out a little thinner than I anticipated but seeing as I didn't have a physical reference like I did for Gordon... It serves its purpose!

A handful of Portuguese Engine Mimics!

Predictably I ended up drawing my TTTE OCs as mimics well before I sort out references for them. Was anyone expecting anything else? If you'd like to know a little more about this lot (aside from Cândida and Edmundo) feel free to peruse some information I've already shared about this lot!

I've mentioned this to @british-hero and @milfcutlawquane before, but like...

Every single time I see Gordon's later CGI model with the riveted smokebox look...

All I can see is...

And I ugly laugh every freaking time. Dang Gordon, going through a punk phase are you?
