I can agree that announcing this sooner would have been preferable, but we did not want to announce something we did not have 100% confirmation on.
I'm going to get a little personal and open, I'm the guy who pitched this. So please keep all stray comments away from NWM. I'm your guy.
I'm going to be honest. We've been working all year to make this happen. I'm sorry the date isn't convenient, but that happens to be when the anniversary falls on.
Given Britt's passing, we thought the 25th anniversary would be a perfect year to honor her legacy.
Featuring Knowah
Let me tell you a story, about Three Railway Engines 📖
A weekend well spent 💚
Once I get my garden railway up and running agin, I must see about getting this little chap up and running too. My custom gauge 1 Thomas. Made from an ERTL RC toy and mounted on a PIKO motor block. I might give it an upgrade later on as I feel as if it could use some improvements.
Words cannot begin to describe how incredibly lucky I am to have such wonderful friends to spend a weekend with. Small meetups for smaller shows can be so much more fun than the big shows. I miss everyone already!

That sure was a Mad City!
Spent with the best of friends!
Fergus 2.0!
Unfortunately I don't see this platform anywhere near as active as it used to be. I'll keep it as backup, but don't expect top priority posting.
Need to see if it proves a fad or not. A shame cause I had high hopes for it
With Knowah (the_lbsc_thomas)
Sir Topham Hatt wouldn't scrap one of his own engines, would he?

In early December I got to visit the famous engine herself, Milwaukee Road 261!
Here's a look at how her North Pole Express turned out in the majestic Union Depot!

Finally got around to repainting my brakevan! A rare bit of Season 6 inspiration for me!
He revived a face from Knowah, and has since been christened "Oswald", or Ozzie for short! He's an essential member of my fleet. Where would we go without our brakevan!
IT WAS REGGIE !!!
@gingeronrails.bsky.social has provided me with pics of the Bachmann Sir Handel EP at Trainfest this weekend
Also stop by the North Western Modeler’s display if you’re going ;)
I've already seen how this has affected my friends and loved ones. It's painful for some, scary for many. The last thing I want is for anyone to feel alone.
I don't understand everything, but I'll try my best. So long as I can be here for all of you ☘️
Times are turbulent due to recent news.
I'm usually the guy to say "let's not discuss politics in train calls". But now more than ever, feel free to reach out. I am here for you, and with you.
Things won't be easy, but they'll be better together. You aren't alone. 💚☘️
Can't post videos here 🙃
But nothing's better than hanging out with your favorite engines and friends ☘️
Gonna start posting all my models in number order so….
Here’s Thomas!
Here's my beautiful Gauge 1 Henry Replica!
This Henry was beautifully built by TheBlueTruck (with final touches done by the_lbsc_thomas aka Knowah!)
I'm absolutely thrilled to own this enterprising engine.
Thank you again to Truck and Knowah! 💚☘️
First post!
Henry the Green Engine as a Gauge 1 replica sitting on a piece of track in the middle of the woods. The afternoon sunlight shines through the trees and reflects beautifully off of his boiler
40 years ago today, a little blue tank engine decided to come out of his shed and change the world.💙
I've been eternally grateful for all the impact he's had in my life
Here's 3 cheers to 40 years, and many, many more! ☘️💚
