#Thomas80th #AwdryEx5
Learning about Ian McCue leaving Mattel at the end of 2025 got me sad. So to cheer me up, here is the picture of me meeting him at #AwdryEx5 at the #TalyllynRailway in Wales.
So glad I got to meet him.
Got my TrackMaster Duchess of Loughborough from Thomas and the Royal Engine (2020) signed by Ian McCue and Michael White during #AwdryEx5 at the @talyllyn.co.uk.
Ian McCue that I’ve met for the first time during #AwdryEx5 at @talyllyn.co.uk is a remarkable man who does care about the Thomas fandom and makes the franchise good during the CGI era of @ThomasFriends. He’s responsible for bringing the 1983 Pilot not just for the 80th, but as a tribute for Britt.

A month on from #AwdryEx5 lets take a lookback on the event, featuring thoughts from staff, volunteers & the Awdry family in this new video on our YouTube channel.
While this may be the last one for a while, the Awdry Connection isn't going anywhere!

It was really awesome to finally meet you in person for the first time at #AwdryEx5 @smurfydan.bsky.social. I enjoyed all your wonderful contents you’ve created and thank for signing my model and also filming me during the event. You really are a pleasant good hearted person I’ve met.

Day 1 of #AwdryEx5 started with seeing Mike the Small Railway Engine, a few troublesome trucks, Duncan getting an overhaul, and George the Steamroller. #therailwayseries #talyllynrailway
The first moments I entered the #TalyllynRailway for the first time for #AwdryEx5. Beginning an exciting weekend. #therailwayseries #revwilbertawdry
If you met us at #Awdryex5 , You've maybe remember my brother carrying around his comic from the opening scene of A better View for Gordon
This is a small dub he made recently for fun, to also show his VA talent.
Feel free to dub it yourself, if you want.😁👍
I hope everyone at #awdryex5 had a great time.

More to come later, but I need to shout out to the #AwdryEx5 Livestream team.
The most complex and intensive series of broadcasts in the HISTORY of heritage railways and they absolutely nailed it.
Very proud of all of them

What a blast we had at the Awdry Extravaganza 5.
A great event ran by all the volunteers and staff at the Talyllyn railway.
#AwdryEx5
Will be posting my pictures from #AwdryEx5 soon. However, upon coming home, I had to take care of urgent matters that required all of my attention. Pics to come, but need to wait. Cannot wait to share what I experienced, but one thing at a time. #talyllynrailway #therailwayseries
Made some new friends this past weekend.
Rusty, Sir Handel, Rheneas, and Peter Sam.
Skarloey was trying to be the bravest engine in the world climbing the incline, explaining his absence.
Duncan was getting overhauled.

Honestly, you’re both as bad as eachother.
#AwdryEx5
Even though I couldn’t go to the event, #awdryextravaganza did surprise me with this!
Thank you NerdyNorwegian for the lovely Twitter message! It’s an incredible honor that my artwork was noticed and appreciated by Veronica Chambers! 🥹💙✨
I do hope she got the picture I sent of it!

Attention citizens of bluesky!
I'm headed to Awdry Extravaganza 5 this year.
Let's make it more interesting.
65 reposts and I will show up dressed as Wario.
You have until July to reach this milepost.
They finally arrived today and they turned out spectacular. I will be wearing the first one for the first day and then the 1984 vibe one for the second day of Awdry Extravaganza 5, and a new Awdry Extravaganza shirt I’m saving to order and also wear on the final day of #AwdryEx5.
@talyllyn.co.uk should do a special kind of tribute and dedication to Britt Allcroft during #AwdryEx5 week in July this year to honor her. 🙏🏻🕊️
