Here's my full #LEGO Thomas train collection 3 years in!
The YouTube Community tab has taken the place of Twitter for me, but wanted to share here too :)
I'll be displaying my Lego Thomas collection and Knapford Junction layout at BrickCon 2025 in Bellevue, WA this weekend Sep 6-7! Wanted to share the news here in case anyone who lives nearby wanted to attend!

@Thomasfan61YT I used wheels from Big Ben Bricks:
4 Blue Medium Flanged Drivers
2 Blue Medium Blind Drivers
Nice to see the model built! I've seen others use the standard Lego train wheels like you have, just need to add 1 plate of height to the chassis for enough space
@dieselworks123 Yeah, I'm aware of these listings. My understanding is they send you fake Lego parts for my builds, lifted off my Rebrickable without permission. I'm not really inclined to give them exposure. I've taken some action against them, but it's a challenge with a Chinese company.
"The man on duty at the street crossing rushed to warn traffic with his red flag, but was too late to switch Percy to the runaway siding. A slow-moving cockerel lost his tail feathers as Percy thundered across..."
My entry for the #JustLikeAwdry diorama challenge!
Time to answer an FAQ:
Here are some screenshots of the couplings I use to connect my Lego models. I attach them without removing any other parts, and the rounded parts on the ends allow trains to reverse around curves and points without derailing.
Shoutout to Aidan O'Flynn on YouTube! I used his Gordon theme for my Lego MOC showcase video!
Aidan has been creating excellent orchestral covers of the themes and musical cues from S1 of Thomas, and he has plans to keep going! Check out his channel!

My #LEGO Gordon video is out!
Between the new models and the special scene recreation at the end, there should be something for everyone to enjoy!

My submission for the #AwdryDioramaChallenge!
I ended up going the Wooden Railway route and submitted one of my RWS illustration recreations from the Deputation!

Here's a behind-the-scenes clip of how I film tracking shots with my Lego Thomas models!
Recorded this while filming my latest reveal video, which will be out tomorrow!
@PieceOfJayVA It's leaning slightly forward propped up against a stack of bricks (you can see them towards the end of the clip). And the friction between the Lego tiles and phone case keeps it from slipping down too.
I'll be revealing new #LEGO models on YouTube this Saturday!
The big project I've not-so-subtly teased will follow in the next video. Any guesses who will come first?
