Here’s my entry for the 2025 #JustLikeAwdry diorama challenge! I decided to recreate this illustration from “The Fat Controller’s Engines”. Maybe not as impressive as my previous entry, but I had to make it in 3 days!

Full color photograph of a small light green saddle tank steam locomotive with a red chassis, four driving wheels, and red stripes on his boiler, with a yellow no. '6' outlined in red behind his cab and a black roof on top with yellow circle windows for the crew to see through. He is perched atop a black open wagon sitting on the railway tracks lettered "G W" for Great Western, as well as labels "54101" and "10 Tons". The locomotive is Percy from the Thomas the Tank Engine/Railway Series franchise, as he has a sad expression and is covered in dirt. Beside the wagon and next to the tracks is a pile of stones spilled from it. In front of the truck is a black suited gentleman, the Fat Controller/Sir Topham Hatt, scolding and pointing at Percy for his predicament. In the background is a small blue and gray lorry/truck next to a small warehouse. The sky is blue and the background shows many green hills and trees. The scene is based off the story 'Percy's Predicament' from the second season of the TV series, and the fourth story in book no. 16 "Branch Line Engines."

The camera is pulled out to show it is an approximately 12 inch by 12 inch diorama display in O gauge with a tape measurer showing its dimensions.
"You can stay there," the Fat Controller continued, "'til we are ready. Perhaps it'll teach you to be more careful with trucks."
'Percy sighed.'
Here is my entry for #JustLikeAwdry for 2025!
This is far from my best work as I quickly ran out of time, but I'm happy I was able to get it done at all.

Here is my entry for the #JustLikeAwdry diorama challenge! My diorama is the scene in which Thomas is falling into the mine. I found it fitting since the Down The Mine pilot recently released and it was simple to do since I was short on spare time to work on it.

"Beg pardon, Sir! gasped Duck, "Excuse my intrusion."
"No, I won't," said the Barber crossly, "you've frightened my customers and spoilt my new paint. "I'll teach you." And he lathered Duck's face all over.
Poor Duck.
I'm very pleased with my entry this year.

I finished up my entry for the #JustLikeAwdry Diorama Challenge. Why did Thomas hit the buffers? Is he stupid?

“Thomas slept badly that night. He kept wondering what Gordon, Henry and James would say if they knew he had finished his journey on a lorry. He almost thought he could hear them laughing.”
Based on my favorite Chris Awdry book, my #JustLikeAwdry diorama finished *just* in time.

“Thomas whistled, ‘Peep! peep!’ And they rushed through the tunnel in which Henry had been shut up.”

"Mike felt exasperated. He tried whistling. He wanted to say "Get out of my way you stupid animal!" but he didn't get far. His second "peep" turned into a tremendous "Whoooooosh!" as his whistle-cap shot up like a rocket, and landed in a field."

Just finished my entry for the challenge! This one's based off of Old Iron from Edward The Blue Engine.
May not be my best work as I had to work with what I got, but it was worth it in the end! 😁

Here's my entry for the diorama challenge this year! Considering both Rheneas & Dolgoch turn 160 like their railways this year, I figured it'd be fitting to recreate the last illustration of "Speedkiller".

#JustLikeAwdry I've just completed my entry for it. It's based around The Runaway. Some stuff from last year's diorama was also reused for this.

“‘Pip pip peeeep Brakes, Guard, Please!’ Mr Bobbie seized my controls, stopped the train & looked back. Two large waved wildly from a bush”
Travelling back to a time where our little old engine was very much an overconfident Bucking Bronco, here is my #justlikeawdry diorama for Awdry Ex 5.
