Here to share my Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends collection and connect with others in the TTTE fandom
Joined February 2013
These FOUR Railway Engines originally wanted to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Railway Series, so they are quite pleased to be able to wish Thomas and all his friends a Very Happy 75th Anniversary! Cheers to many more years of Really Useful Adventures and Fun🎉🎈🎊🎂

I want to give a shout-out to Railway Rarities on eBay! He just hooked me up with some awesome TWR merch. The price and condition of the items, shipping time, and careful packaging were next level! Go check out his store, he's got great stuff for sale!

@ModelRailsandMe That's the unfortunate part. Unless sellers are willing to budge on the ridiculous prices it'll be awhile before this project is finished. I get lucky every so often with a nice lot but those are very few and far between these days.

@NickTf89 Off the top of my head I don't know if I do or not. I'm unsure which magazine it's from and I haven't stumbled across it yet scanning my newer acquisitions. I have piles of non Marvel magazines too, so if you figure out which issue it's from I can try and find it!

@TW_remakes Printed them for almost 12 years! 304 issues before Egmont took over publishing. Still blows my mind to this day that THE Marvel Comics published Thomas

@ThomasMainline I'm working my way up. So if I've skipped over them, I still don't have them. Unfortunately I don't have any from the ones you've listed.

@severn_studios @MerrickAnd Just confirming. I'll put them on my radar. They're hard cover, so I'll have to figure the work around for that aspect.

@severn_studios @MerrickAnd Annuals, I suppose I could scan at some point. Unless you meant the magazine collected volumes? I've got a handful, I'd love to get them all but they don't pop up much.

@TrickshotterTWR They do love their variants! Super easy to produce with just a simple face swap lol

This one hurts. My heart is heavy with sadness, and I feel shattered. I'm at a loss for words. My life and the lives of countless others who grew up with Thomas the Tank Engine would not be the same without this woman. You were so loved and will be sorely missed. Rest easy Britt.
It is with great sadness that I share with you the passing of Britt Allcroft. The Allcroft-Wright family has asked me to bring this news to the Thomas fandom. A full obituary will be released in the London Times later today. The family is currently in mourning and asks that their privacy be respected at this time. Britt was an adoring mother and wife. A visionary producer. She brought so much joy and happiness to people everywhere during her time on Earth. Over the years of knowing Britt, we developed a close connection. It was truly a privilege to have her as both a mentor and a friend, and I’m so glad that so many fans were able to meet her at the New York screening of “An Unlikely Fandom”. It was an absolute honor to have her in our documentary, and she has since remained a vocal supporter of our cause. I think I can speak for the entirety of the fandom when I say that all of us will deeply miss her. Without her, so many of us would never have met. As a way to honor Britt's legacy, her family as asked that you consider making a charitable donation to your local chapter of the ASPCA in Britt's name. While I am devastated by her passing, we can all find comfort in the certainty that her legacy will endure forever through Thomas and his fans around the world. Rest in Peace.
