Thomas and Duck fucking hate each other. A thread: Image
Thomas first becomes jealous of Duck when he takes Annie and Clarabel in The Runaway, and they tell him how much they loved him. ImageImage
Duck gives Thomas lip in Fish, and Thomas becomes immediately offended. Only 2 seconds into a conversation and they already argue. ImageImage
In the only ep where they pair up, the two argue the entire run time. Image
In Saved You, Thomas only attempts to save Duck because he wanted to be a hero — an ego boost for himself. He fucks over a lot of characters in the episode, and helps them out at the end.

He doesn't help Duck. Image
Duck happily screws Thomas over in Scaredy Engines. Image
Thomas has nothing but a giant smile on his face when pulling Duck out of the barber shop. Image
In Spotless Record, Duck passes Thomas and whistles at him… and Thomas doesn’t whistle back. Image
Thomas waited several months to tell the rest of Duke’s story on a night when Duck wasn’t in the sheds.

(Reminder Duck was the one that requested the happy ending ...and he didn't get to hear it!) ImageImage
And LASTLY, when Thomas imagines all his friends back on Sodor, the only engine not present in it is Duck because hE DOESN’T SEE DUCK AS A FRIEND Image
Thomas and Duck hate each other. As far as I’m concerned, this shit is canon. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. Image

I've talked about this with @wrduckdog several times and I want to share this

Gordon is the protagonist of The Railway Series.

He is the only character we follow the ENTIRE journey of throughout the course of the books. In the very first book, he's brand new. He's a hotshot- ImageImage
-and boastful. And in the last book, he humbly retires.

Gordon's journey is kind of amazing. He starts as a hotshot, his arrogance catches up with him in Off the Rails, and he grows up. We learn his history. We meet his family. ImageImageImage
Gordon is also one of the few characters that shares a bond with each main character in some way. He and Thomas used to hate each other and eventually ally, he learns to respect Edward, he has his sibling rivalry with Henry, he tolerates James, he has his laughs with Percy, etc. Image

That fucking rabbit man #TATMRParody
In all seriousness though, The Magic Railroad parody was excellent. The continued amount of work and dedication put into this thing for NUMEROUS from everyone is just humbling. Well done @MrConductorFan and all involved, you made quite a piece of art here.
In a lot of ways, this is superior to the actual film despite being a parody. The character development to Diesel 10 and George was so well done and actually added more depth to the story!

Building progress!

The base was a Bachmann J11. I had to hack off the buffer beam from the running board, which was made of die-cast. Hardest thing I've ever done in modeling Image
Next thing to sort out was the front pony truck. I reused the one from my donor N class. I shortened it as much as I could. Luckily I had a long screw with a washer end that fit in the chassis block, so it's attached to that! Image

I tend to see confusion here about the harbours in the TV series when I ramble on about the Sodor map, so I decided to make a thread explaining each. Here's a TED Talk on Sodor's harbours.

A thread:
First, Railway Series.

Tidmouth Harbour is the biggest port on Sodor in the books. Every time they go to "the harbour at the big station", it's this one. Henry and James collected the Kipper here. ImageImage
Knapford Harbour is the little harbour Thomas' branch services. It was closed when Tidmouth Harbour became the island's main port, but Topham reopened it in Percy the Small Engine, hence why Percy helps rebuild it. All harbour stories from Thomas' branch line occur here. ImageImage

Alright folks, big galaxy brain Alex Jones-tier conspiracy theory time

Knapford was obviously one of the first sets they filmed on for S2, as evident by the unfinished unpainted faces that appear on the Knapford set only.

BUT- ImageImage
-then you have this photo of Percy at Knapford with the treacle/mud from Plunge on him, something he would've had on him on the Brendam set. Meaning, Brendam must've been built BEFORE. My conclusion is that Brendam was the first set they built for S2.

My bigger point: all- ImageImageImage
-the big harbour scenes for the accounted episodes were filmed and the set was taken down before The Missing Coach was cancelled. They needed a replacement episode, hence the random pick of Thomas & Trevor from the annuals, and thus the squabbled together old harbour set (which- Image
