Thomas Runs Away Trailer

This is a lockdown (due to the COVID-19 virus epidemic) video project being filmed in collaboration with Pine Tree Junction. The story is based on The Runway, a story by Christopher Awdry from his book More About Thomas the Tanks Engine which was first published in Great Britain in 1986. Filming took place during April 2020 and the video should be uploaded to my YouTube channel sometime in May.

Meanwhile here is a short video trailer.


PS News about the planned development of my new garden railway will be posted later this month.

Thomas Clears the Line

In Thomas and the Landslide the line was blocked by falling rocks and sand. It fell to Thomas, of course, to clear the line in time for Christmas.
