Absolutely gorgeous! That brickwork looks like it was fun to do.

"Thomas' Branch Line is important, and so is Edward's. They both bring in valuable traffic, but their track and bridges are not as strong as those on the Main."

WHAT'S THE PLAN for my big, little model railway? YouTube video by Terrier55Stepney

youtu.be/LUzQwShIEpc?...

I like model railways.

It's about time I made a model railway.

Ever seen a Traction Engine doing a wheelie?

(see full video for a lot of wonderful road steam, along with the usual rail based machines)

That's remarkable that you've scratch-built this, it looks like a kit! I've just completed one in 45mm scale and that was tricky enough, so in 009 scale I salute you.

Hey @terrier55stepney.bsky.social what do you think of my Beatrice model?

This is really cool!! I love the clever way you've made working doors, that must have been very tedious.

I tried to write a Railway Series book - Here's what I learnt YouTube video by Terrier55Stepney

It's either great or awful timing, given recent events, but here's a video talking about how I tried to pay tribute to The Railway Series in its 80th year, and 150 years of Stepney. 📖

Island of Sodor map (1958)

I've only just noticed an artistic easter egg in this illustration from Duke the Lost Engine - the map that the Fat Clergyman is reading is the original island of Sodor map from 1958 😀

Happy birthday, Step! 🎂

I couldn't resist, haha! 😂

But good for you, though, for showing your support and admiration 👍

#OTD 150 years ago, out from Brighton Works puffed new Stroudley Terrier, No.55 Stepney.

A favourite for myself and many others, due equally to the design and history of the loco itself and Rev. W. Awdry's personification.

Happy Birthday Stepney🎂Sorry I also go by your name.💛

I want to give a massive thanks to @terrier55stepney.bsky.social for commissioning me as one of the many wonderful artists to illustrate his book "Stepney & The City Engines", in celebration of the little Terrier's 150th birthday. Cheers, Max ♥️

Probably my favourite of the lot to have written, and this beautiful piece brings it all to life! Do check out their page for your own.
