Tidmouth Streetlight

Here's a better view of the Lower Tidmouth diorama!

It was displayed at the 1993 Warley Model Railway Exhibition, the first time this event was held at Birmingham's NEC. The show was so successful (I wonder why) that the club decided to make the NEC its permanent exhibition site

During October 1993, several Thomas props were displayed at Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre, as part of an event organized by the Warley Model Railway Club.

Christopher Awdry was also in attendance to autograph books!

It's almost spooky Halloween time, does anyone know how I can mangle my proportions to pull off this costume?

Here's a fun lil shot of Philbert, brand spanking new and yet already covered in dust. Mood.

@PurpleTrain1208 These four and the 220 I've already shared are all I've got at the moment

[Tidmouth Streetlight @TidmStreetlight]

Four more, enjoy!

Thank you, TidmouthStreetlight!!! 👍✨

Amazing quality on these photos, and please do give this a read regarding them. All I can say, after reading, is ABOUT TIME.

@EmeraldTender @specialtrees01 Would be enormously appreciated if you could! Lots of the later comics (2004 onwards) are largely undocumented, likewise many of the Express Special ones

@fallen_the76002 These images have nothing to do with that and nor does this group. Credit to them for procuring, processing and releasing all this in a professional manner

@ThomasTankMerch @LtlNgn Do you know if there's any truth to the rumour that the S3 one was stolen at either the Hamleys or Warley event? I've also heard a variation that they were able to stop the thief in time but that the dragon had already gotten damaged beyond repair

That would explain why it looks like the S10-onwards prop in the workbench footage from S4's production. I'm assuming it simply went unused until S10, but I wonder why it wasn't documented in the S8 refs

[Tidmouth Streetlight @TidmStreetlight]

@CupOfCoffee874 Yeah apparently it was, although I didn't notice at the time and there was no record of it on the wiki either

[Shunting Yard 💙✨ @shunting_yard]

It never fails to amaze me that even with the size of Gauge 1, this diorama for the exhibition was able to have so much life and whimsy in a small space, just as much as the bigger sets for filming Season 3.

The Thomas crew knew their stuff when it came to craftsmanship! 👌✨

[Tidmouth Streetlight @TidmStreetlight]

There seems to be a belief that this diorama was actually displayed at the London Transport Museum - either this is a myth or it was displayed there as well. If anyone knows more, please let us know!

Uncompressed file has been added to the wiki for those interested!

Now there are S5 pics.

A clearer view of the Wellsworth set (which was low quality in the rushes), as well as S4 George's big eyes in the Fishing Village set before being changed to his small ones right after.

The Kirk Ronan and Henry at night pics must be my favourites of all.

[thomastugsfan @thomastugsfan14]

Various new pics from S3-5 are being posted on the Wiki. Very interesting ones.

There's a clearer view of the shed from "Mavis" next to Hackenbeck.

The "Special Funnel" ending scene.

And also a scene from "Heroes" which seems to be filmed at that station set from "Bulgy".

Thank you @01Salty1 for reminding me of this account!

Just wanted to say on here - I'm overjoyed to see the positive reception the images got. Kudos to everyone who was crucial in helping me make it happen :)

[01Salty @01Salty1]

Been loving all these newly-dropped photos from @TidmStreetlight, especially ones that show more of the sets, helping to both confirm and reveal cool details. The ones below are some of my favourites- hopefully more of the alleged gate-kept images get released in time!

@01Salty1 Very glad to hear!

The Hackenbeck Stonecutting shed was one of the first details I noticed too
