One of my favourite pieces Patrick Stewart did was his portrayal of Scrooge in A Christmas Carol. I felt his version was more true to the original book and had more of that ghost story vibe about it. This scene from the film still remains my favourite version. RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIMf...

I really, REALLY love this version of this song. Why wasn't it used in the final edit?!
This sends so many positive vibes my way. I wish there was a full version of this as I'd love to hear how it would have sounded.

Success! Just needs a few tinkering here and there, but apart from that, it works!
Been working on a new prop for MRA, one that I wasn't sure would be easy to make up, nor would work. But after careful planning and ensuring all references were gathered, I'd say that this has, for the time being, become my favourite prop in the production of this project. Here's a clue.

Mentally exhausting day at work today.
Had to stand and listen to two co workers pestering each other over small trivial issues for 6 hours while delaying production progress. Why do these events always happen on the week when I'm working Saturdays?

The inner child of me wanted to rewatch the first episode of Thomas I ever saw. That being, Thomas & the Breakdown Train.
With Thomas Comes To Breakfast being my ultimate favourite story, this one is my 2nd favourite.

You know, I CAN stop production of the Animated Series of Miniature Railway Adventures permanently and delete all the animation I've painstakingly worked on these last 3 years for the test episode and scrapped all the models I've been making for it all because of your attitude, Case.

Yes, I know what class of engine Lady Grange is, Case. But through my creative eyes, I'm seeing her as a Class 812 - temporarily.
You'll understand one day.

Errr....I think our friend Michael has been drinking one too many Pepsi Max's.
Um...Hello! Mr White, Lady Grange does NOT look anything like a Class 812 loco. She's a Romulus and Bagnall Class loco.
Get your facts right! Or better yet, get your eyes checked~ Casey

The bit that I quite liked was the scenes with Oliver asking the trucks if they were alright. Very rarely, if ever do we see an engine concerned for the truck's well-being outside of being troublesome.

Took a while, but there's now a figure of the Reverend on my layout. I decided to place him by the station, a good spot for him to see off the passenger trains leaving Ffarquhar.

I really like that picture of the Thomas and Gordon models next to each other. Might be nice to maybe have a display diorama of that scene from Thomas and Gordon made to display the models.

The show is open here in Barrow & we're honoured to be joined by Richard Awdry, who has brought his Grandfather's OO9 layout depicting the Mid Sodor Railway - Ulfstead Road.
This is the first time both of Rev Awdry's model railways have been exhibited together outside of Tywyn!

Started animating this scene last year, but was missing a rig to complete it. Now that rig is done, I can see about finishing it at long last. youtu.be/Kt2689MVVe0?...

Never thought getting a weighted blanket would help relieve so much built up stress inside of me. Best decision in a long time.

So many projects have been placed on hold because of this and I REALLY want to start work on them all.
But, I have to wait till I'm ready. And that just hurts more than ever.
