Spending time with Britt Allcroft during the production of ‘An Unlikely Fandom’ is one of the highlights of my life. She truly inspired me to be who I am. It was so special spending time with her, getting to ask questions, hear stories, and learn.

We love you, Britt.

It is with great sadness that I share with you the passing of Britt Allcroft.

The Allcroft-Wright family has asked me to bring this news to the Thomas fandom. A full obituary will be released in the London Times later today. The family is currently in mourning and asks that their privacy be respected at this time.

Britt was an adoring mother and wife. A visionary producer. She brought so much joy and happiness to people everywhere during her time on Earth.

Over the years of knowing Britt, we developed a close connection. It was truly a privilege to have her as both a mentor and a friend, and I’m so glad that so many fans were able to meet her at the New York screening of “An Unlikely Fandom”. It was an absolute honor to have her in our documentary, and she has since remained a vocal supporter of our cause.

I think I can speak for the entirety of the fandom when I say that all of us will deeply miss her. Without her, so many of us would never have met.

As a way to honor Britt's legacy, her family as asked that you consider making a charitable donation to your local chapter of the ASPCA in Britt's name.

While I am devastated by her passing, we can all find comfort in the certainty that her legacy will endure forever through Thomas and his fans around the world.

Rest in Peace.

I watched James And The Red Balloon this morning and I started crying??

Why is Little Canada in Toronto so based

[CalleyFan @CalleyFan]

I never got to take their overnight train. But this engine and its livery go so hard

[CalleyFan @CalleyFan]

Don’t get me wrong, publicly-owned railways are a very good thing. But I’m gonna miss the current GWR livery. It gives me all of the feels every time I’m in London.

[Department for Transport @transportgovuk]

Great Western Railways services will transfer into public ownership from 13 December 2026.

This is another significant moment as the government continues to bring services back into public ownership and put passengers, not shareholders, at the heart of our railways.

@ceilingfan87 He was thrilled the adult Thomas fanbase loved the movie. Apparently Mattel was great to work with. The requirement was that they had to use classic Thomas images, meaning nothing from CGI or AEG.

[CalleyFan @CalleyFan]

I spent seven weeks working with the director of Bullet Train on a movie last year. I asked many Thomas questions. He was delighted.

[Tanky @TheMemeTanky]

I still can't believe this is an actual scene from an actual movie

[CalleyFan @CalleyFan]

@TheLilWestern I remember them having Thomas 15 years ago. And they had stock comparable to Walmart when I was last in the US about a year ago.

They carry all the other Mattel brands??

[CalleyFan @CalleyFan]

Since when did Target stop carrying Thomas? I went to two in Florida last week and there was nothing Thomas-related anywhere…

[CalleyFan @CalleyFan]

This could actually be what it takes to make Thomas a super brand again, in 2026. They are seemingly doing the right things.

I haven’t been this excited about Thomas since 10 years ago!

[CalleyFan @CalleyFan]

For the record, moving Thomas to YouTube actually gives it the largest audience it’s ever had. YouTube is consistently #1 in streaming, and many massive pre-school properties have found their audience through the platform (Ms. Rachel, Blippi, Peppa Pig).

[CalleyFan @CalleyFan]

I took your guys’ advice. Days later, Winged Thomas was still there.

I better make my money back on this. Or else.

[CalleyFan @CalleyFan]

I went to Walmart in search of Storybook Thomas. Instead I uncovered this heist.

I gotta say, I’m impressed by the planning and execution that must’ve gone into this…

[CalleyFan @CalleyFan]

WHAT IS THIS

[CalleyFan @CalleyFan]

@PRRFanDoesTrain This isn’t an official release or factory error.

Someone went into Walmart with spare TM2 trains, opened these boxes, took what they wanted, and replaced the actual products with the spares.

If anything, it shows how much someone wanted the actual trains.

[CalleyFan @CalleyFan]

@TurboThomasFan Wdym there’s another Thomas fan in my community 😳

[CalleyFan @CalleyFan]

I actually really like these.

The TM2 track system was terrible. Best choice ever to abandon it IMHO.

The boilers seem to suggest a new chassis and motor design. My only remaining wish is that they free roll!

Insane day for the Thomas community

[CalleyFan @CalleyFan]

@specialtrees01 I’ve only skimmed - but there are a couple of versions of this scene in here. I think one includes Junior pushing the boulder with George but I might be misremembering. I’ll see if I can post the pages this weekend when I have some time.

[CalleyFan @CalleyFan]

The third and final item I purchased from the Britt Allcroft Auction is her script binder - with a complete pre-production script including handwritten revisions, pieces of her shooting script, and several storyboards and location scout photos.

[CalleyFan @CalleyFan]

@barucrealfan This is what I have for colours. Only for the new characters, specifically for licensors.

[CalleyFan @CalleyFan]

The second item I purchased from the Britt Allcroft Auction is her personal TATMR production binder. It’s a treasure trove of documents from prep and production, including Call Sheets, Oneliners, Day out of Days, Travel Memos, Clearance agreements, and so much more.

[CalleyFan @CalleyFan]

@__JayTrain I imagine the other one is his Stand In, who the crew has stand in Alec’s place while they light the shot.
