Owner of the Peter Sam O Gauge screen-used prop train from the Thomas & Friends TV series. I'm a fan and private collector.
I’m gonna take some better photos later and go through the whole production history of this guy, but for right now I’m just basking in the fact that he’s here.
Haven't had time to post about since I've been a bunch of railways and zip lines since Awdry, but I am now officially a prop owner. I'm really happy to have a piece of the shows history and will do my best to make sure it is taken care of
Here are some little tidbits about Magic Railroad from the woman herself. Enjoy. 🥹
What a pleasure to have been a part of this, both as The Guard and with some VFX work. There's nothing like a tight deadline, as we only filmed this about a month ago - across the 15th and 16th June.
TONIGHT at 6pm BST - The classic story from 'Four Little Engines' as you've NEVER seen it before! 'Sir Handel' presented in LIVE ACTION with narration by the Rev. W. Awdry himself, filmed at the Talyllyn Railway - where it all really happened. youtube.com/watch?v=3Z0hAb…
I think we owe thanks to all who were involved in whatever way, but not least to @Expl_Cookie and @DanielLongEAP who took the germs of an idea and grew it into something spectacular. The hours they have put in behind the scenes to bring it together, you would not believe.

Here we are then, a week after the start of the end. Emotions still haven't processed fully but boy, wasn't that something special indeed? The drone caused a stir, but here's all the lovely people from above just after the photo.
About that one train movie from 2000's 25th anniversary today, huh?
Even if you saw it in the cinema or on the livestream, PLEASE give the FULL 4K version a watch this evening when it goes live! So much effort went into this, so let's try & make it the most viewed video on the TR YouTube channel!!! Who knows, maybe we'll get to do more one day?

Having the opportunity to be a part of this production was phenomenal. Seeing the reactions as it played during the Saturday evening event, on the BIG screen?!?! It was an indescribable feeling. We hope that you all enjoy watching ‘Sir Handel’ just as much as we did making it💜

I've made a few videos this year, but this is the one I'm proudest of. Where else would I get to direct a real steam engine?! So many talented people involved in making this, but the star is really the Rev. W. Awdry who manages to bring "Sir Handel" to life anew 📸 @10LEIGH10

It was surreal to see Awdry's original model of Peter Sam at #AwdryExtravaganza #AwdryEx #awdryex5

This large model of Peter Sam at @TalyllynRailway reminds me of the close up filming model. I wonder how close they are in size #AwdryEx5 #Awdry5 ##awdryextravaganza
